inventing the way we play .\ngamelab was an incredibly inspiring and rewarding experience for me . i met many great developers and future developers , saw some great games , and heard some amazing talks . it ' s a great way to really connect with the local indie scene , as well as meeting gaming luminaries from around the world . a + would attend again !\ngamelab is ideal for students in the b . s . in simulation and game design program , with virtual reality systems , audio recording / engineering studio and other technologies readily available to support their research . the center is available to any student interested in conducting research in science , technology , engineering , mathematics ( stem ) through the arts .\nconference and business passes grant access to gamelab ' s online networking tool pitch and match . this tool will not activate until about a month before the event . if after june 1st 2017 you did not receive your invitation to the tool and you bought your pass more than two days ago , please contact us to identify and solve the problem .\nzimmerman : there can be . gearheads was the first title i worked on . frank lantz [ gamelab ' s senior game designer ] and i were the two game designers on the title , and we played that game so much that we kept on tweaking up the difficulty so that it would challenge us , but the game ended up being too hard .\none of the main reasons why gamelab is particularly noted its dedication towards pushing the game design envelope , albeit on a smaller scale in terms of personnel or size . zimmerman ' s thoughts on the subject has been well documented , with the best example being the book rules of play that he co - 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 -

known game designer eric zimmerman , urltoken built casual games that were published by other companies . arkadium is not buying those games or the game development team , which was disbanded earlier this year .\nas part of the announcement , urltoken says it will introduce a series of free game design work shops for new york area game developers . zimmerman will teach the workshops and consult for arkadium , but he will not be a full - 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 .

smith uses conforming grid patterns for the cover designs , imposing a recognizable style that works across the entire series of books . the patterns on the grids convey something of the character of the individual titles . these patterns are signifiers for the book\u2019s character and meaning , bringing contextual complexity to the design . each title\u2019s design was worked on extensively using the book\u2019s text , mood boards , picture research , and literal patterns to take a slightly new angle on a familiar work . examples of this can be seen with the peacock feather design on dorian gray , which plays on the book\u2019s themes of vanity and the superficial ; whereas the leaf motif on jane eyre refers directly to the lightning - blasted chestnut tree , a concrete element in the text that serves as a potent symbol of the book\u2019s central relationship .\nso , did the olivers bail out a fellow family member in trouble ? . the only other recorded claim to fame of these olivers was a son , william , a doctor who moved to bath and invented the biscuit known as a bath oliver ! john oliver senior corresponded with alexander pope , the poet , who john betjeman claimed visited trevarno . i wonder if he wrote\nan ode\nduring one of those visits :\ni suppose those elements are close to being obsessions of mine \u2014 i was heavily into william blake and william morris as a child . some projects have quite open briefs so i can pursue a particular vision \u2014 the first of my hardback classics grew out of a fascination with victorian book bindings , which inspired me to experiment with foil - stamped cloth bindings . other times there will be an element in the brief \u2014 illustration for the boys\u2019 adventure series for example \u2014 that i latch on to and try to get the most out of , with lots of period research and careful commissioning . a lot of the hand - drawn type on my books is commissioned \u2014 stephen raw is great at period type \u2014 but i\u2019d like to develop my own skills in that area as well . john gray is a constant source of inspiration , the energy in his hand - drawn type is incredible .\njohn oliver of ludgvan bought the property either from the arundell family or the crown and he came to live here sometime c 1685 . john ' s wife was a mary harris and although her baptism around 1660 is unrecorded , she is connected to william harris of kennegie , gulval . whether this was the\nwild harris\nof the legends , recorded by bottrell , i could not say but otherwise it was a well connected family . a lydia harris married borlase of pendeen and another mary harris married into the fleming family of madron .\nenglish : occupational name for a worker in metal , from middle english smith ( old english smi\u00f0 , probably a derivative of smitan \u2018to strike , hammer\u2019 ) . metal - working was one of the earliest occupations for which specialist skills were required , and its importance ensured that this term and its equivalents were perhaps the most widespread of all occupational surnames in europe . medieval smiths were important not only in making horseshoes , plowshares , and other domestic articles , but above all for their skill in forging swords , other weapons , and armor . this is the most frequent of all american surnames ; it has also absorbed , by assimilation and translation , cognates and equivalents from many other languages ( for forms , see hanks and hodges 1988 ) .\nthe estate of trevarno was in existence in 1296 when a randulphus arundell was mentioned as the lord of the manor . the arundell family held great power over much of south - west england , having close links to the earls of cornwall . the western tip of cornwall was almost their personal fiefdom . successive generations were to lease the property at trevarno to other well known cornish families , the killigrews , carminows and courtneys until the time of the civil war .\nthe arundells were staunch royalists and supported the king financially to the point of bankruptcy , the family lost much of their land to the supporters of oliver cromwell . at the ' restoration ' the monarchy was re - instated but those holding forfeited land were often allowed to keep possession . thus it was with the arundell family and the monarchy failed to reimburse them for their financial support . moreover , they were out of favour with those now in political power for refusing to renounce their roman catholic faith . condemned as recusants the family fortunes were such that they were forced to sell - off much of their remaining property . they were never to rise to such prominence again and trevarno passed from the arundells to the olivers .\nit is interesting to note also that john oliver junior married a lydia harris daughter of christopher harris and his wife wilmot daniel of kennegie , gulval .\nby 1839 the olivers were no more at trevarno and ownership had passed to christopher wallis popham . there appears to be no direct link to the previous owners except that , despite her marriage to joseph lamb popham at st martins in the fields in 1801 his mother , phillippa wallis , was from wendron parish and her father was a christopher wallis b 1744 madron . this wallis / walishe family originated in west penwith in 1645 so may have had family connections\nthere is a link to livermore in california where a road is named after the estate . see\nthe house remained in this families ' ownership until 1994 when it was offered up in 33 lots to make it more manageable to sell . by this time it had dwindled down into a state of benign neglect and even the shadow of its former glory was hard to detect\nluckily , the prospective purchasers of the house were sufficiently moved to contemplate saving the whole and as a result prevent the break - up of yet another ancient cornish estate into holiday lets , time - share or apartment conversions . i wonder if they had fully understood the mammoth task they set themselves whether they might not have attempted this . with over a 1000 acres the estate needing a great deal of investment in time and money for it to succeed as a self sufficient entity , sustainable from its own resources . we wish them well and thank them for letting us glimpse another beautiful and well kept cornish garden which together with the national museum of gardening make this one of the most interesting to visit and great value for money .\nyou may use photographs from this site for non -

'\nwhile coralie\u2019s work for penguin clearly draws inspiration from the arts & crafts movement and british inter - war illustration and design , it never seems trite or conventional . there is always an asymmetry , angle , pattern , or colour combination that gives it an unexpected twist that lifts it out of the ordinary . her covers for penguin\u2019s \u2018 gothic reds \u2019 , for example , are amongst the most brilliantly stark , original , off - kilter and unsettling covers of recent memory .\nit almost goes without saying that i am thrilled that coralie agreed to an interview , and i\u2019m using it as a shameless excuse to post a lot of images of her work .\nwhen did you decide to become a designer ? i don\u2019t remember when i heard the term designer for what i wanted to do and it all became clear , but i spent my childhood collecting stamps , letraset , calligraphy nibs , books and making my own edition of the dictionary . all that made a lot of sense once i started studying design at university .\nwhat is your role at penguin , and where did you work previously ? i\u2019m a senior cover designer for penguin press , which publishes penguin\u2019s classic fiction list as well as non - fiction titles in science , philosophy , history , etc . before i started at penguin i worked in various jobs designing whole books , magazines and instore promotions for supermarkets . it was not until a started at penguin that i settled down and really started to feel creatively fulfilled .\ndo you work on particular imprints ? at penguin press we have a number of imprints : allen lane , particular books , penguin classics , modern classics , red classics and penguin paperbacks . our art department shares the titles around so we get to work on different projects and designers are not tied to one imprint .\npenguin is synonymous with british book design . is there a sense of that legacy within penguin itself ? absolutely , it\u2019s great to work for a publisher with such a rich design heritage . the responsibility to live up to that can be quite daunting at times , but you just have to get on with what you do and enjoy it , otherwise it would get paralysing . the reputation means that design is valued within the company , which gives the designers a stronger voice . not that we get carte blanche \u2014 sales and marketing obviously have their say \u2014 but there isn\u2019t always the decision to play it safe , we\u2019re given a bit more rope to take some risks and hopefully push things further . so we get to have a lot of fun with design and feel listened to and respected .\nthe first stage of every new cover is nerves and self - doubt : can i do something interesting , visually smart and get across the fundamental nature of the book and help it sell ? nightmare . so i get reading and then try to throw away all my concerns and fears and start getting stuff down on the page , sketching on paper and working things out on the computer . usually that means trying out a lot of rubbish and having to trust that eventually something will emerge from the process that works . when that happens i can breathe a short sigh of relief and then get on with developing and refining until the cover is finished .\nyour work often incorporates traditional arts and craft elements like ornamentation , illustration , and hand - drawn type . is this something you strive for or is it dictated by the nature of the projects ?\ni would say the cloth classics right now . i really enjoy the process of getting the best colour combinations and the feel of the end result in my hands . representing classic literature through patterns is fun there is so much to go on within the text . life only doing these would be dull though , so i like that i get to work on a variety of titles . i like that there\u2019s always another area in which to push myself as a designer . i think its coming up with concepts i like best . the rush of the moment where you show it to someone and they get it . when you feel that you know you have got it right .\nthey\u2019re all challenging at the start , when i think i might make a hash of this one . conceptual covers for non - fiction can be quite a challenge \u2014 especially when there\u2019s a late change to the title or subtitle that makes a great design suddenly redundant . it can be hard scrapping a cover i\u2019ve become attached to and has been approved . i just have take a deep breath and remind myself that the cover is there to serve the book and not the other way around\u2026\nas you would expect , it\u2019s a more intense process . i always have to have rules that will work across the series , from colour usage to typography . there are often period - specific elements that have to researched and backed up . it there\u2019s a grid it has to work across the whole series and not get tired and boring . it\u2019s a longer process , and the energy and attention to detail has to be maintained to the end . with individual covers its a bit more organic as you won\u2019t have to pay down the line for decisions that might create difficulties if spun out into a series . if it works it works and once you\u2019ve got it you move on .\nagain it has to be the cloth classics as they sit so satisfyingly on the shelf as a set . i tend to pick my work apart after each series is finished and make notes about what i would do next time and how i can improve on the way i approach the typography and the images , well all of it really . i think designers are harsh critics of their own work ; there\u2019s a dissatisfaction that motivates us to keep producing new stuff , new approaches .\nthe internet is a huge and readily accessible resource . i can spend ages going from site to site just soaking up inspiration . i like to collect objects that i see in junk shops / ebay / charity shops . bookshops too of course \u2013 i really enjoy the oxfam book shops , so many gems to be found . as for design heroes , there are many . the williams i mentioned earlier \u2014 blake and morris . then there\u2019s so much inspiration in the penguin back catalogue , form people like romek marber and alan aldridge . in current book design , john gray and david pearson often come up with things that make me think wow , look what you\u2019ve done , that\u2019s amazing . there are also many outside of the book world i admire , such as orla kiely . i love her use of colours , and also the 70\u2019s vibe . i have a thing for 70\u2019s orange plastic , and her stuff reminds me of that , its really comforting .\ncovers are still a lot of the time the only piece of marketing material to attract the customer so i don\u2019t think that is going anywhere fast . we might go through a wave of utter tripe as everyone gets all excited about 3d or animated covers , and the novelty of technology takes precedence over good design . electronic books are inevitably going to impact physical publishing , but the printed book is a very successful technology in its own right and i don\u2019t think it will be entirely displaced . for all the advantages of ebooks \u2014 portability , interactivity , production and distribution savings \u2014 there\u2019s something potent about the physical object that will always have a strong appeal . i like to think that as the volume of physical books declines , the average quality of the design will increase , because books will have to work harder to justify their physical presence .\nrt @ stigabell : as it\u2019s # fourthofjuly , here is the @ thetls cover this week . urltoken\nrt @ canongatebooks : book design jobs ! we are currently recruiting a senior designer and a junior designer . if you\u2019ve got an amazing portfo\u2026\nrt @ danwagstaff : apparently @ casualoptimist readers are not the only people to have noticed this trend . . . urltoken\n\u201cone had no time to think . there was so much going on . . . \u201d it can happen here urltoken\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nby examining the family and financial circumstances of wordsworth & rsquo ; s early years , this illuminating biography reshapes our understanding of the great romantic poet & rsquo ; s most creative period of life and writing .\n? john worthen ? s engaging new biography of wordsworth begins by quoting the poet ? s recollection of himself at around the age of 10 , surveying tall trees , black chasms , and dizzy crags : ? i loved to stand and & read j their looks forbidding ? , he says , ? read & disobey ?

i . e . a denser city\u2026 a city of more people living closer together\u2026\u2026\u2026 . . rather it just leads to bigger houses for less people .\nwhat i love that ( nolan ) did was that he took the genre seriously . what studios willing to make at the moment is a very , very narrow band of films . what i discovered is that this genre has the\nthe project incorporated many of the characteristics that have come to define kennedy nolan architects today . the design adapted an existing building and the scope encompassed the entire site . the project was our first exploration of the possibilities of a plan . there is evidence of our interest in defined zoning \u2013 the liturgy of habitation , of hierarchical planning \u2013 you can see our preoccupation with aspect , axis and the long view . the formal qualities of the building exhibit our ongoing interest in the suggestive power of abstract form . references are made to the history of the building and to the notion of hearth as home .\nmajor retrospectives of nolan ' s work have been staged in london ' s institute of contemporary art ( 1962 ) , sydney ( 1967 ) , melbourne ( 1987 , 1992 ) , and new york ' s metropolitan museum of art ( 1994 ) .\ndirector matt reeves reveals he ' s been taking cues from christopher nolan ' s dark knight trilogy on his upcoming solo adventure for bruce wayne . the batman director has been talking a lot about the upcoming movie and pulling from different influences , namely alfred hitchcock and more recently christopher nolan . reeves has also drawn comparisons between bruce wayne and caesar from reeves ' most recent movie war for the planet of the apes , in addition to talking about doing something different than what the studios expect in regards to the comic book movie genre .\ni think the other thing that i really admire in what ( nolan ) did was knowing what it is to make a big studio film , which often can fall into that sense of committee filmmaking where there ' s an anonymity to the point of view of the film .\nwar for the planet of the apes will be released on july 14th , 2017 and soon afterwards matt reeves will jump straight into the batman with ben affleck . while not much is known about the plot , we do know that reeves has promised a hitchcockian influence that has excited many fans hoping for a return to the psyche of batman and hopefully a return to his detective roots . reeves also goes on to mention the influence of christopher nolan on the batman and making a big budget studio movie . the director seems to admire the way that nolan was able to make a personal , serious studio movie . reeves explains .\na separate mention should be made in respect of his fremantle series of paintings , produced in the 1970s . unmatched for colour by any 20th -

class marksman ( 1946 ) became the most expensive australian painting in history . the only one of nolan ' s first series of 27 ned kelly paintings not owned by the national gallery of australia , it was purchased by the art gallery of new south wales for a record $ 5 . 4 million . see also : most expensive paintings : top 20 .\n\u201cwe\u2019re actually here because we were worried about clerys , \u201d says mcguigan . \u201cwe were hoping they were getting business . \u201d mcguigan \u2013 who was , in nolan\u2019s words , \u201cdeported from australia\u201d in 1982 \u2013 likes o\u2019connell street a lot . she passes through most days , and often drops into the philatelic section in the gpo . \u201cit\u2019s the only place you can get all the back issues of the year\u2019s stamps , \u201d she says . \u201cmy mother collects them . \u201d\nnolan used numerous different themes in his painting , including series like : gallipoli ( 1956 ) , leda and the swan ( 1959 ) , america ( 1958 - 60 ) , africa ( 1961 - 2 ) , antarctica ( 1964 ) , new guinea series ( 1965 ) , fremantle ( 1970 - 9 ) , miners ( 1972 ) , and his cezanne pastiches ( 1978 ) . but his most powerful and recurrent imagery was his depiction of ned kelly . his simplified motif of kelly ' s square - shaped armoured helmet is now an iconic australian image .\nin an interview with design files , rachel nolan explains past projects : ' ' i feel like i understand how you inhabit domestic space . i remember what it is like to be a kid , what it is like to be a student , what it is like to share a house , to be single , to live with your partner . i know what it is to have a husband and run a family house . but to be able to use this and find some magic in how you might live is what i love about doing residential projects . ' '\nnolan was initially attracted to abstract art - a form he returned to in the last decade of his life - in the manner of paul klee ( 1879 - 1940 ) . his own minimalist abstract paintings , like boy and the moon ( 1940 ) , consisting of a splash of yellow against a raw blue backdrop , caused some controversy among observers . in addition , using his experience as a commercial artist , he also designed theatrical sets and costumes for serge lifar ' s ballet icarus , which opened in sydney , in 1940 . in the same year , he held his first solo exhibition at his melbourne studio .\npaintings by sidney nolan can be seen in many of the best art museums in australia , including : national gallery of australia , canberra ; art gallery of western australia , perth ; queensland art gallery , brisbane ; art gallery of new south wales , sydney ; national gallery of victoria , melbourne ; art gallery of south australia , adelaide ; the australian war memorial , canberra ; ballarat fine art gallery ; australian national university , canberra ; heide museum of modern art , melbourne ; and others . overseas , he is represented in the tate gallery , london ; the carnegie museum of art , pittsburgh ; and several other important public collections .\nknighted in 1981 , nolan ' s contribution exceeds that of drysdale , and other 20th century painters such as sir william dobell ( 1899 - 1970 ) , noel counihan ( 1913 - 86 ) , albert tucker ( 1914 - 99 ) , arthur boyd ( 1920 - 99 ) , john perceval ( 1923 - 2000 ) and william robinson ( b . 1936 ) , but it follows in the great tradition of the 19th century heidelberg school of australian impressionism ( c . 1885 - 1900 ) and its pioneering representatives like tom roberts ( 1856 - 1931 ) , frederick mccubbin ( 1855 - 1917 ) , arthur streeton ( 1867 - 1943 ) and charles conder ( 1868 - 1909 ) .\narchitecture awards ( 5 ) \u2014jenkins / robson house by andrew nolan architect 10 ; newton house , castlecrag , by stanic harding architects 11 ; kilcare house by tonkin zulaikha greer and ellen woolley architects 12 ; house for pam by clinton murray architects 13 ; altair by engelen moore 14 . commendations ( 2 ) \u2014 mason house alterations and additions by chenchow little architects ; mccarthy residence by stephen varady architecture . % br % conservation : greenway award \u2014no award given . architecture award \u2014fort denison by alexander tzannes associates 15 . blacket award \u2014southern highlands house by harry seidler & associates 16 . % br % esd / energy efficiency : architecture awards ( 2 ) \u2014house for pam by clinton murray architects 13 ; velodrome by ryder associates architects and ryder sjph architects 17 . % br % bhp colorbond steel award \u2014velodrome by ryder associates architects and ryder sjph architects 17 .\nof 1998 , my cousin and her husband asked me to design a renovation for their dilapidated edwardian house in the melbourne suburb of northcote . the james street house was all the impetus rachel and i needed to start our own practice . with what now seems feckless and irresponsible abandon we resigned from our respective jobs and went to officeworks to buy a fax machine . it was all very well thought out and high - tech .\non reflection , it was a great time to start a practice because we didn\u2019t have any significant financial commitments and , more importantly , our youth ensured that we had an abundance of enthusiasm and not enough experience to be deterred by a rational and considered appraisal of the risks and pitfalls ahead .\ncolours and finishes based on 1970s residential architecture were a particular focus of the design .\nfor us , james street was a near - perfect first project . it combined a trusting client who shared our sensibilities , a scope of works extensive enough to give us an opportunity to explore some architectural ideas , and a corner site that allowed us to make a building with a street presence .\nthe detailed design of the house , including particular care given to colours and finishes , was developed through a revision of 1970s residential architecture , particularly the houses of merchant builders . this is an ongoing interest \u2013 both in the particularities of courtyard house plans and the highly textured surfaces , which we feel create a sense of domestic refinement .\nthe key architectural move was to readdress the house to the side street , bringing in a new entry to the middle of the house and separating public and private zones . this enabled us to reclaim the front garden as a private space , taking back a part of the site that previously was difficult to use , and giving privacy to the bedroom zone . the design provided two bedrooms and a study / nursery , as well as a dining room that could convert to a bedroom with the insertion of a bank of cabinets . the clients , who had no children when work commenced on the project , now have three \u2013 and they have converted the dining room to a bedroom as planned .\nthis house is composed of related indoor and outdoor zones that give an impressive sense of space .\nby approaching the site as a whole rather than considering the house and garden separately , we were able to create a series of indoor and outdoor areas that relate to one another and give an impressive sense of space . despite this , the family has outgrown the accommodation . against my advice , the owners have decided to embark on another renovation . it is flattering that they love their house so much they want to remain in it , but the new rooms ( a small sewing room and an additional study / bedroom on the north boundary ) arguably erode the rationality of the plan . on the other hand , these changes , also designed by our office , do address one of the problems in the original design \u2013 the lack of northern orientation .\nit is interesting to reflect on what has changed in our practice since 1999 \u2013 most significantly , a serious engagement with environmentally sustainable design . when we developed the original plan , we felt that we were taking passive solar principles into account . however , it was also a time when we privileged the aesthetic qualities of western light and were not overly troubled by the lack of northern orientation in the principle living room . happily , the recent changes address this .\nultimately rachel and i remain extremely proud of james street , and we can reflect on it as an encapsulation of many of the ideas that have been developed and extended in our practice .\nthere are so many gratifying aspects to the project , not least that it won a victorian chapter royal australian institute of architects award for alterations and additions in 2000 , a welcome endorsement from our profession .\nthis project was first published in houses 84 as part of the first house series where architects revisit their first built commission .\njoin 46 , 000 + of your peers and get the latest projects and articles first , delivered to your inbox .\nthank you for signing up to receive our newsletter ! you will shortly receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription .\nthe encyclopedia of australian architecture has been finally released . edited by philip goad . university of melbourne . julie willis . $ 150 in the shops . big .\n\u2022 kebab shops in melbourne \u2013 an architectural survey has been published by melb uni\u2019s derham groves .\n\u2022 as part of the rmit gallery exhibition 2112 imagining the future , opening 2 dec , there will be a free screening of the russian science fiction masterpiece stalker ( 1979 ) directed by andrei tarkovsky , with panel discussion featuring curator linda williams , philip brophy and japanese artist kenji yanobe , as well as rmit global cities research institute director , professor paul james . refreshments served . wednesday , 30 november , 5 . 45 -

changing exhibition of australian art . mark kader\u2019s landscape design reveals his horticulturalist tendencies \u2013 he clearly loves native vegetation , and in the laver garden , with a clear vision for this blank canvas , he has nimbly negotiated the steepness of the site to paint it with vigour .\nthe impossibly vertical ascension to the house comes to a grinding halt in the considerably compressed horizontal space of the entry porch . suddenly i have arrived in the house , and my pent - up gaze floods out in multiple directions across the horizontal plane , always with as strong a connection to the landscape as the architecture . i absorb the living space and am already out in the rear courtyard enjoying the open fireplace before i have even passed the entry threshold . that\u2019s what this house does so well . it entices you up \u2013 concealing everything during the eternal entry promenade , and then revealing everything in a single moment . you want to stay because you feel protected and connected in equal measure .\nrenee : i think amy an inspiration , full of ideas , energy and vigor . i hope that her love / love affair /\nc -

painted brickwork , a patterned semi - transparent wall and a swimming pool lined with vibrant blue tiles .\nin finding a workable model , we looked to the arts and crafts movement and its proto - modernist philosophies ,\nthey continued .\nmany of our architectural interests aligned with the ideas and aesthetics of the movement : expressive function , picturesque planning , and the exposition of the crafts of building .\nthe house replaces another building that the clients had lived in previously , before briefly moving away . they found that their last home couldn ' t cope with their large family \u2013 seven members in total .\nthe new building deals with this by separating different areas . the family ' s main living and dining spaces are located in a pavilion - like structure towards the front of the site , while bedrooms and quieter lounge areas are housed in a two - storey block behind .\nthe living room block features the pyramid - shaped roof , which is clad externally with ceramic tiles and lined internally with cedar . sliding glass doors allow the building to open out to both the swimming pool and a barbecue terrace , with the overhang of the roof creating a sheltered patio .\nthe barbecue itself is integrated into a sculptural chimney stack , featuring handmade edwardian - inspired chimney flues , matching the one located above the fireplace in the main house .\nby contrast , the two - storey building at the rear of the site features a more contemporary mono - pitched roof . apart from the master suite , all the bedrooms are located on the upper floor , leaving the ground free for other activities .\nthe facade of this block is divided up by different materials . deep - set windows reveal the depth of the brickwork , while horizontal concrete stripes indicate floor slabs and vertical lengths of cedar frame built - in wardrobes .\nsubstantial , textural , durable , low maintenance materials and surfaces \u2013 all selected for their ability to age in place \u2013 will ensure that the house improves with age , that it celebrates patina and that the materials reach their aesthetic potential through wear and time ,\nsaid the architects .\npast projects include a house extension with a circular hole for children to climb through and a courtyard house built with recycled bricks , concrete and rough -

descript factory the clients\u2019 brief was for a best fit multiple residential building with realisable commercial value . the existing factory building remains as a memory of the light industrial history of this corner site in fitzroy . the new building clearly expresses a change of use for its site and represents the evolution of an inner city suburb . the new form that grows from this ground floor masonry plinth is lightweight yet muscular in its form , blank in daylight becoming delicate and transparent in the night .\nthe three dwellings are contained within a collection of forms which are enigmatic . this building challenges the viewer to look up and decipher the meaning and inner workings behind the silent , sober forms . there is a trajectory of the building from day into night . blank and inscrutable by day , at night it transforms into a series of lanterns equally mysterious but also public spirited in their illumination .\nthis project is part of a series of buildings from this practice which attempt to re - interpret brutalism in architecture , seeking to capture the strength and drama of brutalist form and emphasise the texture and luxury of blank surfaces , the possibilities of hand - crafted modernism .\ndesigned for a family of seven occupants , deepdene house replaces the client\u2019s previous home , which couldn\u2019t cope with the demands of such a large family . sloping down towards the street , deepdene is split programmatically into two sub - houses . towards the front of the block , the pavilion like structure contains the main living and dining spaces , whilst sleeping quarters are housed in the two - storey block behind . a slender glass corridor connects the two structures . with a family of seven , that\u2019s probably a pretty smart move .\nkeeping the neighbours happy and maybe making them a little envious too , the front house exhibits to the street a hot - to - trot ceramic shingle roof which is broken by a couple of edwardian chimney flue details and their monolithic white stacks . one of the chimneys serves as an outdoor fireplace , taking the humble barbecue to a whole new level .\nmoving beyond an impressive vertically oriented hit and miss brick wall lays a swimming pool that is tiled in a rich aquatic blue , providing a vibrant offset to the open plan living arrangement within . surrounding the pool are a few edwardian arches , an elegant timber solution for a pool barrier and a simple but pretty outdoor shower .\nby contrast , the two - storey second house is a modern timber , concrete and brick structure that plays the simple roll of being a backdrop for the front house . with a sequence of lush landscaping elements filling the space between , the house offers a truly simple yet sophisticated way of living for that family of seven .\nlocated in melbourne\u2019s inner city suburbia , deepdene kicks some pretty mean modern - architecture ass by demonstrating how the design process can be beautifully and delicately driven by context . because of its epic architectural design , deepdene house won the australian institute of architecture ( aia ) award in 2016 in the category for residential architecture .\nhere to make sure that you know what we know when you need to know . you know ? sales & marketing manager , web dude and professional problem solver for hunting for george . adventures over here\nwe use cookies to personalise content , target and report on ads , to provide social media features and to analyse our traffic .\nall irish life is here : workers , addicts , preachers , buskers , tourists , revellers , friends and lovers . a weekend on ireland\u2019s main street starts off gently\npatrick freyne spends 24 hours on o ' connell street , dublin . video : darragh bambrick & bryan o ' brien\ni walk down o\u2019connell street in dublin every day . with its lovely width , trees and monuments , it should be a destination , but most people are passing through , as i am . shoppers , clubbers , tourists and commuters generally go there on their way to somewhere else .\nthere are different worlds on o\u2019connell street . groups of foreign workers socialise in the casinos dotted between the disused buildings on the northwest side of the street . well - heeled people visit the gresham hotel across the road . there\u2019s an unofficial drugs market on the stretch between north earl street and lower abbey street . homeless , addicted and heartbroken people congregate there during the day and disappear at night . across the road religious people of different denominations evangelise , philosophise and debate at the gpo .\nthese groups interact only occasionally and seem invisible to each other . at night , between the hours the pubs close and the nightclubs end , it\u2019s a surprisingly lonely , quiet place . there are some hopeless people on o\u2019connell street , but there are also a lot of kind people there : the flower - seller i met who buys food for young homeless people every morning , the mcdonald\u2019s security man who checks if passersby are okay at night , the old woman who recited a poem for me . as the newspaper seller austin cregan says , \u201call human life is here . \u201d\nwell , all human life is funny and strange and dignified and debased and moving . . . and , after 24 hours , overwhelming . like o\u2019connell street .\n5 . 50am \u201ci had a man in the back of the cart last week , \u201d says phil o\u2019brien , a street cleaner with dublin city council . on the stretch of o\u2019connell street between north earl street and lower abbey street , he explains , drug dealers hide drugs in the bins , and the man was rooting through the rubbish looking for his drugs .\ni didn\u2019t want to delve straight into o\u2019connell street\u2019s drug problem in this article , but the street cleaners at the depot are eager to talk about it . o\u2019brien has had drug addicts asking him for used needles . all the cleaners are terrified of having their fingers pricked by syringes ."]}

line mentality , the news we get becomes more and more sensational . what is the difference between time and newsweek ? between abc , nbc , and cbs news ? between the washington post and the new york times ? for all practical purposes , none . the concentration of media power means that americans increasingly get their information from a few sources who decide what is\nnews .\nthe master planners devised the strategy of a merger -

prong approach was needed ; use american money and know - how to build up your competitors , while at the same time use every devious strategy you can devise to weaken and impoverish this country . the goal is not to bankrupt the united states . rather , it is to reduce our productive might , and therefore our standard of living , to the meager subsistence level of the socialized nations of the world . the plan is not to bring the standard of living in less developed countries up to our level , but to bring ours down to meet theirs coming up . . . it is your standard of living which must be sacrificed on the altar of the new world order .\nwhen and if fascism finally takes hold in america , the basic forms of government will remain . . . fascism will appear to be friendly . the legislators will be in session . there will be elections , and the news media will continue to cover the entertainment and political trivia . consent of the governed , however , will no longer apply . actual control will have finally passed to the oligarchic elite controlling the government behind the scenes .\nworld animal protection was a partner in the film . director of disaster management james sawyer picked up the award . \u201cthe people and animals of the philippines showed great resilience to come back after the disaster . it shows that resilience really is a state of mind , \u201d he said .\nwhatever the subject , mandell says his mantra is \u201cshow me , don\u2019t tell me . \u201d to create impact , his films feature observations of behavior that enable viewers to experience what it\u2019s like to be at auditions for the notre dame leprechaun , with the groundskeeper at notre dame stadium as he lines the fields , or with the u . s . air force crew coordinating a game day flyover\u2014a film that garnered mandell an honorable mention at the 2012 college sports media awards .\nhow to bring adequate policing to daily victims of horrible crimes ? ijm and haugen clearly believe that nationals on the scene must protect the law - abiding and bring malefactors to justice themselves . ninety - five percent of ijm\u2019s 600 staffers in the developing world are citizens of the nations they serve .\namericans are wonderfully courteous to strangers , yet indiscriminately shoot kids in schools . they believe they are masters of the world , yet know nothing about what goes on outside their shores . they are people who believe the world stretches from california to boston and everything outside is the bit they have to bomb to keep the price of oil down . only one in five americans hold a passport and the only foreign stories that make their news are floods , famine , and wars , because it makes them feel good to be an american . feeling good to be american is what they live for .\nwhat is masquerading as government is a crime syndicate with a flag . the us government is an instrument of organized crime , alternatively described as the octopus , the washington consensus , the shadow government , wall street , the round table ( bilderbergs , trilaterals , council on foreign relations , royal institute of international affairs ) , and the new world order .\nmost newspapers are part of huge conglomerates , and the policy that comes down is that you don ' t rock any boats . you can ' t make the government upset because the value of the company is the broadcast licenses , and the government will not renew them , and we can ' t make our corporate owners mad because they will fire us , and we can ' t make the advertisers mad or they will pull their advertising . so the media can ' t say anything that will upset the power structure . and that ' s what has happened to the press .\nthe newly developed independent countries , once believing they had emerged from colonialization , realize their development remains in jeopardy . without a substantial change in the world system of disseminating information , their demands for a new economic order will go unheeded . worse , in my opinion , their cultures will erode and become homogenized into the drab oneness of holiday inns , mcdonalds , and levis .\nsince the anticommunism hysteria in the years following the second world war , a bipartisan consensus has existed on foreign policy . meaningful political discourse has been almost absent about foreign policy issues . so many foreign policy decisions have been placed beyond public scrutiny , that almost all of what passes as official information about foreign policy is manufactured by government agencies for its propaganda effect .\nafrica is extremely rich in many resources , from agriculture to oil , minerals , and a huge variety of other resources used all around the world . if african nations were able to develop their own economies , use their own resources , and create their own industries and businesses , they could become self - sufficient at first , and then may become a force of great competition for the established industries and elites around the world . after all , europe does not have much to offer in terms of resources , as the continent ' s wealth has largely come from plundering the resources of regions like africa , and in becoming captains of monetary manipulation . a revitalized , vibrant , economically independent and successful africa could spell the end of western financial dominance .\neven open - minded people will often find themselves unable to take seriously the likes of noam chomsky , edward herman , howard zinn and susan george on first encountering their work ; it just does not seem possible that we could be so mistaken in what we believe . the individual may assume that these writers must be somehow joking , wildly over - stating the case , paranoid , or have some sort of axe to grind . we may actually become angry with them for telling us these terrible things about our society and insist that this simply ' can ' t be true ' . it takes real effort to keep reading , to resist the reassuring messages of the mass media and be prepared to consider the evidence again .\nsince the bush - cheney administration took office in january 2001 , controlling the major oil and natural gas fields of the world had been the primary , though undeclared , priority of us foreign policy . . . not only the invasion of iraq , but also the toppling of the taliban in afghanistan , had nothing to do with ' democracy , ' and everything to do with pipeline control across central asia and the militarization of the middle east .\nthe bilderberg group is an organization of political leaders and international financiers that meets secretly every spring to make global policy . there are about 110 regulars - rockefellers , rothschilds , bankers , heads of international corporations and high government officials from europe and north america . each year , a few new people are invited and , if found useful , they return to future meetings . if not , they are discarded . decisions reached at these secret meetings affect every american and much of the world .\nsome of the character traits exhibited by serial killers or criminals may be observed in many within the political arena . they share the traits of psychopaths who are not sensitive to altruistic appeals , such as sympathy for their victims or remorse or guilt over their crimes . they possess the personality traits of lying , narcissism , selfishness , and vanity . these are the people to whom we have entrusted our fate . is it any wonder that america is failing at home and world - wide ?\nwe are ruled , though it may be difficult to imagine , by a small dynastic power structure , largely consisting of powerful banking families , such as the rothschilds , rockefellers , and others . they emerged in controlling the financial system , extended their influence over the political system , the educational system , and , through the major foundations , have become the dominant social powers of our world , creating think tanks and other institutions which shape and change the course of society and modern human history .\nthey have pillaged the world . when the land has nothing left for men who ravage everything , they scour the sea . if an enemy is rich , they are greedy ; if he is poor , they crave glory . neither east nor west can sate their appetite . they are the only people on earth to covet wealth and poverty with equal craving . they plunder , they butcher , they ravish , and call it by the lying name of ' empire ' . they make a desert and call it ' peace ' .\nso important did military spending and the military - industrial sector become during world war ii and the cold war that they have become fundamental to the u . s . economy , u . s . economic growth and above all u . s . technological development . despite its often almost incredible wastefulness and corruption , this military spending has also been in some ways a kind of unacknowledged but rather successful state industrial development strategy in a country whose free market ideology meant that it could not formally adopt or admit to such a strategy .\nduring the past two centuries when the peoples of the world were gradually winning their political freedom from the dynastic monarchies , the major banking families of europe and america were actually reversing the trend by setting up new dynasties of political control through the formation of international financial combines . these banking dynasties had learned that all governments must have sources of revenue from which to borrow in times of emergency . they had also learned that by providing such funds from their own private resources , they could make both kings and democratic leaders tremendously subservient to their will .\nafter world war ii , in the name of containing communism , the united states , mostly through the actions of local allies , executed or encouraged coups in , among other places , guatemala , brazil , chile , uruguay , argentina and patronized a brutal mercenary war in nicaragua . . . by the end of the cold war , latin american security forces trained , funded , equipped , and incited by washington had executed a reign of bloody terror - hundreds of thousands killed , an equal number tortured , millions driven into exile - from which the region has yet to fully recover .\nthe greatest myth concerning american foreign policies is the deeply - held belief that no matter what the united states does abroad , no matter how bad it may look , no matter what horror may result , the american government means well . american leaders may make mistakes , they may blunder , they may even on the odd occasion cause more harm than good , but they do mean well . their intentions are always honorable . of that americans are certain . they genuinely wonder why the rest of the world can ' t see how kind and generous and self - sacrificing america has been .\namerican policymakers , setting themselves up as guardians of the world system , are more inclined than ever to simply disregard international laws and conventions if they get in the way of unrivaled military supremacy . every instance of u . s . armed intervention during the 1980s and 1990s represents a flagrant violation of regional treaties and laws , not to mention the un charter itself , which explicitly prohibits military attacks against sovereign nations - for example , grenada , nicaragua , haiti , panama , serbia , and iraq . in any event , the u . s . has consistently shown its contempt for international bodies , agreements , and procedures that might conflict with its hegemonic aspirations .\nmoney laundering , according to imf estimates for the 1990s , was between 590 billion and 1 . 5 trillion dollars a year . the proceeds of the drug trade are deposited in the banking system . drug money is laundered in the numerous offshore banking havens in switzerland , luxembourg , the british channel islands , the cayman islands and some 50 other locations around the globe . it is here that criminal syndicates involved in the drug trade and the representatives of the world ' s largest commercial banks interact . dirty money is deposited in these offshore havens , which are controlled by major western banks and financial institutions which have a vested interest in maintaining and sustaining the drug trade .\nceos of most of the world ' s largest corporations daily make decisions that destroy the lives of many other human beings . only about 1 to 3 percent of us are sociopaths - people who don ' t have normal human feelings and can easily go to sleep at night after having done horrific things . and of that 1 percent of sociopaths , there ' s probably only a fraction of a percent with a college education . and of that tiny fraction , there ' s an even tinier fraction that understands how business works , particularly within any specific industry . thus there is such a shortage of people who can run modern monopolistic , destructive corporations that stockholders have to pay millions to get them to work . and being sociopaths , they gladly take the money without any thought to its social consequences .\nwhy should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10 , 000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on brown people in vietnam while so - called negro people in louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights ? no i ' m not going 10 , 000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over . this is the day when such evils must come to an end . i have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars . but i have said it once and i will say it again . the real enemy of my people is here . i will not disgrace my religion , my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice , freedom and equality . if i thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn ' t have to draft me , i ' d join tomorrow . i have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs . so i ' ll go to jail , so what ? we ' ve been in jail for 400 years .\nthere is no such thing , at this date of the world ' s history , in america , as an independent press . you know it and i know it . there is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions , and if you did , you know beforehand that it would never appear in print . i am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper i am connected with . others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things , and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job . if i allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper , before twenty - four hours my occupation would be gone . the business of the journalists is to destroy the truth , to lie outright , to pervert , to vilify , to fawn at the feet of mammon , and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread . you know it and i know it , and what folly is this toasting an independent press ? we are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes . we are the jumping jacks , they pull the strings and we dance . our talents , our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men . we are intellectual prostitutes .\ngonzo series of the year angela loves . . .

agent systems . anhui university , hefei ( 2004 )\n2 . 4 a two - tier wireless communications system in still yet another of its aspects the present invention may be considered to be embodied in a two - tier wireless communications system .\nincludes the features of the sol agent platform and the selfstarmas agents , which are discussed in detail in this section .\nmany investigation firms use custom - built devices when trying to spot insurance fraud . some have made\nsmart bricks\nwith cameras concealed in them which they toss into a suspect ' s garden . typically these use short range radio to send images back to a van close by .\nfor presence / reachability , the smartnode\u2122 uca streamlines deployment of unified communications into existing business networks .\nthe present invention still more particularly concerns power and bandwidth management for wireless communications systems , especially as are used in the home of office , that is adaptive , and tailored to communications conditions .\nthe gateway communications device may be of the order of a modem , globally communicating via a physical communication channel of a wire or a fiber type . the communications device may be of the order of a long range radio or optical transceiver , globally communicating via an atmospheric communication channel of the radio of free - space optical types .\ncommunications in each of the two tiers may be , and preferably is , separately conducted from communications in the other tier - - but need not be so separated and divided . for example , in one embodiment of the\ntwo - tier\nwireless communications system of the present invention communications between agents in one tier is at a different radio frequency than communication between an agent and its associated clients otherwise transpiring in the other tier . in another embodiment of the\ntwo - tier\nwireless communications system of the present invention communications between agents in one tier transpires during a different time slice than does communication between an agent and its associated clients otherwise transpiring in the other tier . in still yet another embodiment of the\ntwo - tier\nwireless communications system of the present invention communications between agents in one tier transpires with and at different code divisions than does communication between an agent and its associated clients in the other tier . although the communication in tiers is preferably so separated and divided in any of frequency , time division or code division , the communication need not invariably be so divided . instead , the unique address of each agent and client can be relied upon . consider first the agents . when a group of agents is initially powered on , or a new agent is introduced to an existing group , all the agents will attempt to , and will - - in a manner and procedure quite normal for wireless communications - - form an ad hoc ( wireless ) communications network . each agent attempts to communicate with every other . some communications links are enabled ; others fail . the agents serve to create ad hoc what can ultimately be expressed in a conventional connectivity diagram where , by convention , a line is drawn an the diagram between two devices that are ( radio ) communicating . where no communication is present , no line is drawn .\nforwarding said derived contextual information to at least one of a remote data collector and a remote service provider using a long range wireless transmitter .\n( ii ) a wireless communications system where power and / or bandwidth is allocated efficiently , ( iii ) a wireless communications system distributed among and between power - grid - powered intelligent\nagents\ncommunicatively servicing battery - powered dumb clients , and ( iv ) a two - tier wireless communications system .\nthe first communications interface 10 of the first wd 2a is arranged to , in a step s2 , exchange a first set of messages with the second wd 2b via a network node 3 in the wireless communications system 1 . the first set of messages is exchanged for establishing a first communications link with the second wd 2b via the network node 3 . upon completion of step s2 a first communications link has thus been established between the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b , thereby enabling wd 2a and wd 2b to exchange data via the network node 3 . the first communications interface 10 of the first wd 2a is arranged to , in a step s4 , exchange a second set of messages with the second wd 2b via the network node 3 . the second set of messages is exchanged for evaluating conditions for setting up a short range connection between the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b on a second communications link . by exchanging the second set of messages the first wd 2a ( and / or the second wd 2b ) may evaluate ( in the processing unit 5 ) whether or not it is possible to set up a short range connection between the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b .\nthe agents thus form of themselves , and without outside intervention or control , a ( radio ) communications mesh . this mesh , this ad hoc communications network , is the\nbackbone\nof the two - tier wireless ( radio ) communications network of the present invention . communication between agents may transpire under the ieee 802 . 11 standard , or the bluetooth standard , or any suitable network radio communications standard .\nin step 802 , the subscriber unit receiver monitors one or more radio frequencies , infrared wavelengths or audio frequencies for the presence or absence of recoverable signals . upon the detection of a carrier in step 804 , a decision is made in step 806 as to whether the detected carrier signal strength is usable , i . e . , above an empirically - determined threshold indicative of whether the carrier source is within the aforementioned \u201cshort range and which is required to sustain reliable communications . \u201d in many instances , a marginal carrier level will result in a determination that no short - range wireless signal source is present , as shown by the return of program control to step 802 from both decision steps 804 and 806 .\n1 . a wireless communications system characterized in that a plurality of communication agents a1 - a10 , each powered from a power grid , form a communications mesh to locally wirelessly radio - communicate between themselves in a local wireless radio communications network , with each communications agent a1 -

1 , 101 - 2 and 101 - 3 , the functional elements of which are depicted in fig . 4 .\nthe local environment or context in which a wireless subscriber unit is located at any given instant can be determined from information that is broadcast to the subscriber unit from context - determinative devices using short - range wireless signals , such as bluetooth . by using short - range wireless signals , only devices that are in relative close proximity to the subscriber unit affect the determination of the subscriber unit ' s context . in one embodiment , information from devices within range of each other is used by the various devices to determine the context in which they each operate . in another embodiment , information from devices is collected by a short - range wireless subscriber unit , which preferably can be carried by a person , such as a personal digital assistant ( pda ) , cellular telephone , pager or the like , is used to determine the context in which the subscriber unit is located . in yet another embodiment , context determinative information ( i . e . , information that effects or creates or defines a \u201ccontext\u201d or from which a \u201ccontext\u201d can be calculated ) is forwarded to a data collector whereat the collected information is processed to identify or calculate ( and therefore \u201cdetermine\u201d context ) the context whereat the subscriber unit , and possibly its operator , is located . information about the present location or context can be returned to the subscriber unit . in another embodiment , context is determined by processing information within the short - range wireless subscriber unit .\nupon the mri device ' s 605 determination that a subscriber unit 601 or 603 was authorized to access the device 605 , remote operation of the mri can be established using the subscriber device 601 or 603 as a sort of hand - held remote , albeit via short range wireless signals , such as the bluetooth standard .\nin fig . 7 , a bluetooth - enabled and compliant mobile phone ( cellular phone , pcs phone or smr two - way radio ) enters a venue 702 and detects the short - range radio signals being broadcast by a bluetooth - enabled and compliant display kiosk 704 and a bluetooth - enabled and compliant printer kiosk 706 .\nif at a later time , the subscriber unit 101 has moved to a different location , identified in fig . 1 by reference numeral 101 - 2 , whereat there are no short - range wireless signals recoverable , the service provider can reasonably determine that the subscriber unit 101 has left the context proximate to the first device 102 .\nalo communicating upon a worldwide communications network ii external to the home or business ; wherein wireless radio communication between the agents al - a10 may be further globally communicated by the gateway device alo to the external worldwide communications network ii .\nit should be apparent that from the foregoing , that by periodically broadcasting information from various kinds of equipment and devices via short - range wireless signals using a recognizable protocol such as bluetooth that the detection of such signals inherently provides usable information that is potentially useful . the resources of such equipment and devices can be more readily used and recorded .\naiello f . , fortino g . , gravina r . , guerrieri a . a java - based agent platform for programming wireless sensor networks .\na processing unit configured to recover , from said detected short range wireless signals , information that conveys at least the presence of said at least one device , said processing unit further configured to derive contextual information from said recovered information , wherein said derived contextual information includes at least information relating to one or more service capabilities of said at least one device .\ncommunications interface 10 . however , once the wireless device 2 has been activated for inter alia wlan , bluetooth or irda transmission , data packets may be forwarded between the application handler 8 and the second communications interface 11 by the interconnection module .\naccording to one embodiment the predetermined distance is dependent on the available alternative transmission capabilities . for example , wlan transmission may allow for a longer range than bluetooth transmission ;\ninterconnection module messages , illustrated by double - lined boxes in the sequence diagrams of figs 6 , 7 and 8 , may thus be generated and / or terminated at the interconnection module , and may hence never reach the application handler 8 . when transmitted over the first communications link , the messages associated with the interconnection module may appear as regular data traffic to the network node 3 . according to an alternative embodiment the wireless device 2 ( and hence also the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b ) is arranged to handle the message exchanges relating to establishing the short range communications without a dedicated\nvolume 3993 . springer ; berlin / heidelberg , germany : 2006 . agent factory micro edition : a framework for ambient applications ; pp . 727\u2013734 .\nacquiring at least one first cqi may be based on at least one probe signal which is transmitted , on the second communications link , from one of the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b and received by the other of the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b . the at least one probe signal may comprise pilot symbols known to both the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b . that is , a pair of unique probe messages may be used in each direction . the short range connection may be established only in case the first cqi is above a first predetermined quality threshold . additionally or alternatively , also at least one second channel quality indication , cqi , of the first communications link may be acquired , step s16 . in fig 7 this is illustrated by the first wd 2a transmitting probes both over the first communications link and the second communications link . the probes are received by the second wd 2b which also may transmit its own probes to the first wd 2a both over the first communications link and the second communications link . thereby the cqi of the second communications link may be compared to the cqi of the first communications link . that is , one set of probe messages ( either in one direction or in both directions ) may be exchanged via the existing ( i . e . , the first communications ) path while one set of probe messages ( either in one direction or in both directions ) may be exchanged via the newly configured ( i . e . , the second communications ) direct - link . a similar value of the cqi of the first communications link and the cqi of the second communications link may indicate a sufficient quality of the second communications link . that is . the first predetermined quality threshold may be dependent on the at least one second cqi . the embodiment of estimating channel quality is not dependent on whether or not addressing and / or encryption is performed . the embodiment of estimating channel quality may furthermore be readily combined with embodiments relating to priority levels of different types of available second communications links . the result of the channel quality estimation may be used as a parameter when determining which one of the available second communications links to prioritize ; the at least one first channel quality indication may thus be acquired for all available second communications links .\nin order for the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b to be able to establish the second communications link a number of parameters may be exchanged , | 0 such as which type of second communications link to establish ( for example by exchange of wireless capabilities ) , and if it is even possible to set up the second communications link ( for example by exchange of positional information ) . further information exchange between the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b may therefore take place . different alternative wireless technologies have differing range and\nthe system further includes a number of communication agents . each agent is powered from a power grid . the agents first locally wirelessly radio - communicate between themselves in a local wireless radio communications network . the agents second locally wirelessly radio - communicating with the plurality of clients .\nnext , the same re - partitionment simultaneously beneficially conserves local radio frequency bandwidth . a client , especially a battery - powered mobile client , wirelessly communicates only with that agent to which it is electrophysically closest , normally over a distance of but a few meters . very little radio frequency power need be used and , in accordance with the present invention , is used . the communications of other clients with other agents elsewhere in the same home or business is non - interfering ( by action of agent - network - controlled agent - client communication , as will be explained ) .\nthe first wd 2a and the second wd 2b may also exchange their alternative wireless transmission capabilities over the first communications link .\nan optional communications gateway device , also powered from the power grid , controls local wireless radio communication ( i ) between the agents upon the network and ( ii ) an external worldwide communications network ( e . g . , the internet ) .\nin fig . 6 , bluetooth enabled subscriber units 601 and 603 are equipped with short - range wireless signal transceivers . the subscriber units not only detect the presence of a bluetooth - enabled and compliant mri device 605 but also send signals to the mri device 605 using the short - range wireless transceiver 210 ( as shown in fig . 2 ) with which the mri device is equipped . in such an application , the mri can determine its context with respect to the subscriber units 601 and 603 but the subscriber units 601 and 603 can also be used to control the mri 605 if the subscriber units 601 and 603 are provided with knowledge of the operation of the mri 605 by way of an equipment or device profile .\nto avoid looking suspicious , those involved in the alleged data theft might have turned to a widely available gadget because the basic data transfer capabilities would have been built in and it would need minimal tweaking to get working . many phone and pda users regularly swap data , such as contact details or images , via bluetooth short - range radio or via infra - red .\nlong before cell phones , the cia ' s office of technical service was developing what it called a short - range agent communications systems or srac . when two officers communicated securely with each other using a srac device , they didn ' t need to risk being spotted in the same location , melton and wallace explain in\nspycraft .\nan early srac device from the 1970s had code names like \u201cdiscus\nand \u201cbuster ,\nand resembled a large calculator and contained a keyboard with a stylus for punching in 256 characters , wallace said . using \u201cburst transmissions ,\nthese systems allowed agents to transmit messages across about a quarter - mile range , communicating in bursts through coded messages that were automatically deciphered and displayed . although the signal could potentially be intercepted , this communication technique represented a significant advancement in tradecraft . \u201cthis meant that you didn ' t have to meet an agent to get information ,\nwallace said . \u201cyou could actually transmit it in real time .\n17 . a two - tier wireless communications system characterized in that a plurality of communication agents al - alo first locally wirelessly radio - communicate between themselves to such extent as wireless connectivity in a local wireless radio communications network permits , the first locally wirelessly radio - communicating transpiring in a first communications tier separate from any other communications tier , with each agent al - alo second wirelessly radio - communicating with one or more uniquely associated clients c1 - c4 to such extent as wireless connectivity in a local wireless radio communications network permits , the second wirelessly radio - communicating transpiring in a second communications tier separate from the first and from any other communications tier ; and plurality of clients c1 - c4 each locally wirelessly radio - communicate in a local wireless radio communications network to one or more associated agents a1 - a10 , only , with no communication transpiring to any un - associated ones of the plurality of agents a1 - a10 , this locally wirelessly radio - communicating transpiring in the second communications tier ; wherein the plurality of communication agents a1 - a10 are self - organizing to produce a communications mesh while each of the plurality of clients c1 - c4 is capable only of identifying , and communicating to , one or more agents a1 - a10 ; wherein the plurality of clients c1 - c4 become communicative from one to another only by communication links proceeding through one or more of the plurality of agents a1 -

agent technology in the traffic control and guidance can effectively alleviate the problems which computing collaborative too concentrated and the computational load big . in traffic control and traffic guidance systems , its consultative mechanism can collaborate with multi - objective optimization goal conflicts .\npredetermined quality threshold . the second communications link may thus be established to provide an alternative to the first communications link . another trigger may be that the amount of data to be exchanged between the first wd 2a and the second wd 2b is larger than a predetermined threshold . the second communications link may thus be established to add data resources . another trigger may be the availability of the second"]}

items , deleting items and moving items . the update records significantly improve the performance of vault cache synchronization by providing records of the changes to an archive since the last vault cache synchronization . if a user has not synchronized their vault cache within the transaction history period , then enterprise vault will process the archive to determine the updates . the transactions are tracked in the journalarchive , journaldelete and journalupdate tables which are located in the vault store databases . since the tables will grow larger than they did in previous versions of enterprise vault , additional considerations should given to ensure the sql server does not run out of disk space . alternatively , the number of days the transaction history is retained

corporate logo , and is its longest lived one to date .\nafter the usual torrid software development cycle and quite a long struggle to get some intransigent bugs out of the major beta test at goldman sachs , the product was finally released to manufacturing late on christmas eve 1998 , if for no other reason than that the engineering team wanted to join their families for the holidays . by the time of shipping , compaq had acquired digital and so the product actually went out as \u201ccompaq enterprise vault v1 . 0\u201d . initially the vault only addressed mailbox archiving because exchange journaling hadn\u2019t shipped at the time , but that major feature was added to the vault in a point release shortly afterwards , once the exchange feature had shipped .\nvault\u2122 provides a reviewer notes function when playing back recordings . this feature is handy with annotating information that is critical to patient care of dispute resolution . during playback ,

data recording . verbal communication is critical in the healthcare industry especially telephone communications . verbal communication has the potential to affect patient care , response times , patient privacy and the hospital\u2019s image . voice and data recording becomes critical in providing audit trails to track liability . vault\u2122 aids in providing healthcare institutions with an easy to use , scalable compliance recording solution which can aid in creating necessary back up data to protect the hospital and its staff . there are many departments where disputes between patients , hospital staff and physicians can cause harm to patient privacy and patient care , while exposing the healthcare institution to significant liability damages .\ndeletion authority will depend on each agency ' s / customer ' s email deletion policies and legal procedures . please review those policies and legal procedures with your supervisor before proceeding with archive vault deletions .\nvault\u2122 has many standard recording capabilities . what separates us from the competition is how vault\u2122 is deployed . our network of experienced healthcare recording professionals will design a solution that meets your hospital\u2019s needs . this involves meeting with key departments and evaluating where the hospital is most exposed . we then will work with your institution in mapping out a plan that meets your needs while considering the parameters of your budget .\nvault\u2122 provides both screen and voice capture . our unique ability to capture both simultaneously helps piece together any incident that may need to be reviewed . communication center supervisors can see the full picture of how a scenario unfolded , whether it is through miscommunication , input error or validation of correct procedures . department managers can easily review their employee\u2019s actions and use vault\u2122 as a training tool to better response times or change procedures .\nto the

enterprise vault to being more of an \u201carchiving platform\u201d than specifically an exchange email archiver . more archiving clients were added alongside the original email service so that the archive gradually became a repository for any and all \u201cunstructured information\u201d . the additional archive services included psts , public folders , files systems , sharepoint , lotus , and smtp mail . we held off publishing an api and developers\u2019 kit because of the support implications , but this was exactly the sort of thing that would make sense as soon as a large company with the appropriate infrastructure took over the product .\nduring this time we also designed a spin - off product called \u201centerprise vault mailbox manager\u201d ( vmm ) . this was done in cahoots with microsoft and was to be a \u201cmailbox janitor\u201d that cleaned out mailboxes subject to flexible policies . microsoft had provided a \u201cquick \u2018n dirty\u201d add - on to do this for the then current version of exchange and it had proved extremely popular , so they wanted a \u201cproperly engineered\u201d version of it for the next version but did not have the in - house resources to do it themselves alongside their work on the main product . effectively it was a cut - down client and policy administration tool for enterprise vault but without the back - end archiving services , so older messages could be deleted but not saved . the agreement with microsoft was that vmm would be an optional add - on to exchange v6 . 0 and would accompany that product when it shipped later in 2000 . we would supply it for free but , in microsoft\u2019s words , we would have \u201cfull bragging rights\u201d to then promote the full compaq archiving product to the customers . of course this was the marketers\u2019 dream \u2013 access to 100 % of our target market with the distribution all done via microsoft . what could go wrong ?\nsynergon understands the need to keep sensitive data safe and secure . we also understand the importance of complying with local , state and federal regulations . to meet these needs , synergon has implemented system level and administrative security roles and access , incorporated into 256 - bit aes end - to - end encryption , along with complete audit trails of all events within vault\u2122 . to further enhance our security , vault\u2122 digitally stamps all call signatures to ensure that no call can be tampered with .\na myth has occasionally arisen that somehow enterprise vault was derived from , or was even a rebadging of all - in - 1 , but it was a ground - up brand new development on the windows platform ( then windows nt ) rather than openvms . the confusion probably arose because the engineering team had all come from all - in - 1 . however , what we did carry forward as an engineering team was the sort of process - driven engineering methodology that we had developed for all - in - 1 engineering ( following the sei capability maturity model ) as well as building translatability into the product from the start .\nvault\u2122 is designed to meet hipaa compliance for both voice and data recording . all vault\u2122 recordings are stored in an encrypted format , preserving the original recording without an ability to edit . all recordings within the system can be accessed with permission - based

comments on - demand .\nas would be expected , there was a significant program of continuing enhancement of the base products as well as the new licensed products mentioned above , and given the increasingly competitive environment , most archive products were following the same path . the initial pc - based outlook client support was enhanced with functionality such as offline vault for laptop users , outlook web access support and the web - based archive explorer . the product was implemented from day one to be fully translatable , so foreign language versions ( including asian ) were developed from an early stage .\neach night the system scans a user ' s mailbox and moves items older than 60 days into the corresponding folder in the vault . in addition to this , mail will be moved sooner when the mailbox reaches 85 % capacity . messages with large attachments ( i . e . , 2 . 5 mb or larger ) will be moved sooner than messages with smaller attachments . this is done to keep the mailbox to a manageable level . accordingly users should no longer experience a \u201cmailbox is full\u201d situation preventing them from sending and receiving e - mail .\nby august 1999 , two point releases of the vault had been shipped , twenty or so sales had been made and a number of pilots were under way . then , following the usual early warning signs as compaq cut down on the software side of the business , the product was cancelled and the whole engineering team was made redundant . the very next day we all stood outside and watched a total eclipse of the sun , which seemed somehow symbolic at the time . while most of the group went off on their gardening leave , a few of us stayed behind to produce an \u201cunarchive\u201d tool to enable the existing customers to

mailbox .\ni have the checkbox for all other mail folders enabled , but they do not journal .\nwell from my understanding , ocs messages are not actually sent - they are just saved into the conversion history folder in the users mailbox . so they will never end up in the journal mailbox .\njust to add by default these will be archived as the included message class in the exchange policy is ipm .

from a major multi - national , the prospective customers were being asked to put their faith in a small british - based start - up , and for the most part that wasn\u2019t about to happen . however , we did make some very early sales , the first being to libertel in the netherlands who purchased in our first week of operation . they were followed as early adopters by freshfields in the uk , clearstream in luxemburg , shaw cable in canada and jackson national life in the usa , which meant that we were instantly a multi - national !\nthese early sales were all via compaq , except for freshfields that was a resolution systems deal . in our first month we also partnered with essential computing who we knew well from our digital days and they organised our kvs launch in london in december 1999 . this event then led to more early business through essential .\nsimilarly , because of the uncertainty when we were first cancelled by compaq , the vmm project with microsoft fell through , so we missed what would have been a fabulous opportunity for a small company to kick - start the business .\nwe set up a technical support and sales presence in the usa almost immediately and our us hq was eventually established in arlington ( texas ) if for no other reason than that was where our north americas manager lived . over time several home - based regional offices were set up around north america , in particular in the new york area , reflecting the strong financial sector business we were doing there .\nhaving started with the ideal situation ( ideal for engineers that is ) of being an engineer - only company , we and our investors knew that we would need to hire a ceo and then develop the sales and marketing functions , and that started to happen after a few months

16 there were many other triumphs , including the cruise missile family \u2013 the standard missile , the ram and the phalanx \u2013 that were so effective during the persian gulf war . general dynamics also built the stinger antiaircraft missile , the essential weapon in the afghans\u2019 war with the former soviet union .\n\u201che survived so well because he was a man of great discipline , \u201d says robert abboud , one - time executive at first national bank of chicago , who backed henry crown in some of his boldest ventures . \u201che was disciplined in mind , and in his personal habits . some entrepreneurs go basically on instinct and then rationalize their actions later . but he was unique . he had the instinct combined with the cerebral capacity . he was always a disciplined risk - taker . \u201d\nbusiness was flowing in , but what mattered most to henry crown wasn\u2019t wealth but people . they were the source of his \u201cgreatest happiness and the reason for his greatest success . \u201d he built his career by forging friendships and partnerships which often ran so deep that they lasted a lifetime . he never saw business as a zero - sum game . he believed a successful deal should always benefit both sides . \u201cthe more transactions you make , the more friends you ought to make with them , \u201d he said .\nearly in the 1980s the family decided they\u2019d like to contribute to chicago\u2019s renowned museum of science and industry . they had already been instrumental in putting a captured german u - 505 submarine on display and had also helped create a coal mine exhibit . working with museum officials susan developed the idea for the space museum . \u201cthe family realized that it would serve as the ultimate tribute to henry crown , \u201d she said . \u201chis proudest achievement was the progress in aerospace developed during his leadership at general dynamics . \u201d even greater was the pride he took in his country and its amazing scientific and technological breakthroughs .\nthroughout his long business career , henry was the embodiment of strict ethical values in business . \u201chenry crown . . . prizes his honor in a way that would be familiar at camelot , \u201d wrote the new york times . \u201chis reputation is more important to him than any possession . his handshake is as good as a signed contract . \u201d he had the habit of following the golden rule , even when it seemed against his best interests . he wasn\u2019t given much to philosophizing , but when asked about his \u201cunusual\u201d business techniques he explained : \u201ci\u2019ve always believed that success comes as a result of honorable acts , not in spite of them . \u201d\nin 1966 in a power play for strategic control of general dynamics during a crisis , the board betrayed henry crown and exercised a merger option to buy him out . cut off from the business he and his brothers had built over 47 years , he set out to build a new company for his family . in the act of rebuilding , he went back to his roots \u2013 buying stock in a small building materials company called dolese and shepherd , and investing in a fleet of barges and tow trucks and railroads . then he merged dolese with vulcan , another materials company . but always at the forefront of his concern was the fate of general dynamics .\nthus henry crown enlisted in the corps of engineers . when they discovered what he did in civilian life they promptly appointed him a procurement officer , negotiating and buying materials for the u . s . government \u2013 the largest business in the world . unfortunately , from henry\u2019s point of view , along with his job came a potential conflict of interest issue . he either owned or had financial interests in companies that could bid on government contracts . to eliminate any possible hint of a conflict of interest , he resigned from every business he ran , and from every board , and insisted that no bids be submitted and no purchases made from companies that he or his family were associated with .\nhe was a classic horatio alger rags - to - riches story . in 1912 when he was a 16 - year - old earning $ 6 a week as a freight - rate assistant , he enrolled in a night bookkeeping class . the assignment throughout the year - long course was to create a business and keep financial statements . at the end of the year the teacher announced that three students \u2013 four if he counted henry crown \u2013 were correct . \u201cbut henry , \u201d he said , \u201ci told you to start the business with $ 2 , 000 \u2013 not $ 2 million . \u201d the class burst out laughing , but henry just grinned . \u201cwell , sir , \u201d he said , \u201ci just added the extra zeros , but look how much greater the profit is . \u201d\nhe was deeply disappointed when he was rejected for first world war service because of poor eyesight . during world war ii he was determined to wear his country\u2019s uniform . in 1941 , when he was 45 and father of three sons , robert , lester and john , then 21 , 17 and 13 , with his wife bea\u2019s support he decided to enlist . this time he was determined not to let an eye - test stand in his way . he memorized the eye - chart and passed it . the next hurdle he had to overcome was the medical exam . he had a faint heart murmur , but on his brother sol\u2019s suggestion he camouflaged the murmur by chatting incessantly while the doctor used his stethoscope . it was the only known instance in which henry crown resorted to trickery to accomplish his purpose , so great was his desire to serve his country .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nwe use cookies to enhance your experience on our website . by continuing to use our website , you are agreeing to our use of cookies . you can change your cookie settings at any time .\nprinted from oxford reference ( www . oxfordreference . com ) .

end jobs delivering newspapers , selling shoes and doing clerical work , henry decided it was time for a job with prospects .\ninspired by magazine stories with titles like \u201cpluck and luck\u201d and \u201cfame and fortune , \u201d he wrote 40 letters to the presidents of chicago companies asking for a job . the manager of union drop forge , a manufacturer of steel machine tools , interviewed and hired him because he had \u201cso much imagination . \u201d as the years passed henry made progress in the firm but was denied the senior jobs he wanted because he was so young .\nhe decided the way to solve that was to have his own business . eventually , he found a business niche for which he didn\u2019t need much capital , or equipment , or office space . best of all , no one else had thought of it . he brokered steel mill overruns , buying at mill price , which was $ 20 per ton lower , discounting $ 10 to his customers and keeping $ 10 for profit .\nin the late 1920s , henry found himself trying to negotiate employee wages with teamsters\u2019 local representative jim norris , who was still holding his union position while he was doing prison time for murder . when norris\u2019s term in prison was over , he was paroled into the custody of the owner of one of the city\u2019s largest construction material companies . the results of this arrangement were hardly surprising . no strike had been called against material service , but the unionized employees just failed to show up , bringing the business to a standstill . with the help of state senator john daily , chair of a senate hearing into unfair labor practices , henry broke the impasse , which didn\u2019t increase his popularity with the union .\nat times like these henry\u2019s formidable networking skills reaped rewards . \u201ci discovered that there were more honest labor leaders and politicians than dishonest ones , \u201d he said , \u201cso i did business with them . \u201d by 1928 this outsider who had stepped into the ring with 80 other material supply companies was the declared champion . his company went public . the initial shares traded at $ 28 . the new offering described material service as \u201cone of chicago\u2019s largest , if not the largest , dealer in concrete materials . \u201d the company had 5 , 000 active accounts divided between building and paving , and had recently acquired a stone quarry .\nas his circle of friends expanded , so did his business \u2013 the \u201cripple effect , \u201d his son lester calls it . a friendship with attorney arnold grant led to a meeting with colonel jacob raskob , who helped found general motors and dupont chemical , which later led to the purchase of the empire state building . ownership of the building led to involvement with tenant lou rosentiel , which led to a long - term partnership with the tishman family . and on and on it went .\nhenry took great pleasure in mentoring young people with potential . and he had an unerring sense of their abilities . one example was young robert anderson , son of a swedish immigrant who\u2019d been henry\u2019s loyal banker and friend . robert rejected henry\u2019s efforts to lure him into the cement business when he graduated from the university of chicago . \u201ci really want to go into the oil business , \u201d anderson said . \u201cwell , you should do what you want to do , \u201d henry told him . he took out a loan on young anderson\u2019s behalf , and helped him launch an oil concern in new mexico . he stayed involved for years giving advice and financial support when needed . anderson rose to become the ceo of arco .\nhenry\u2019s vision was sharpest when he was under fire . it was adversity , more than anything , that sparked his determination . it drove him to roll up his sleeves and fight his way through the roadblocks . the results were often brilliant innovations , and new technologies .\nwhen the teamsters shut down material service\u2019s delivery department , he looked for alternative and less expensive transportation systems to truck and rail freight . taking advantage of the just - completed navigable channel in the chicago river , he moved his distributing yards to the riverside and started to use barges to haul his materials . one barge could carry as much as 50 train cars . this reduced his transportation costs from $ 1 . 68 a ton to 32 cents a ton \u2013 and business soared . then he bought his own source of material , a sand and gravel plant , with a $ 200 , 000 loan from the bank . next he built a state - of - the - art barge . the barge had a continuous belt - loading system that allowed for self - loading and unloading , which dramatically cut labor costs .\nhis tow boats were built with collapsing pilot houses so they could pass under bridges . when the barge was idle , it cruised the lake operating as a sand - sucker , and , not so incidentally , the barge was fitted with a classifier , which sorted the sand according to size while the barge was cruising down to the supply yards . henry\u2019s company was the first to bring the redi - mix concrete process to chicago . and when the teamsters attempted to kill the idea , he convinced them that it would create more work for its members \u2013 not less . he was right .\nhe loved the building and it was a bitter blow to him when in 1961 , during a time of financial crisis at general dynamics , he felt compelled to sell the building to raise money . the sale \u2013 to harry helmsley \u2013 was extremely profitable but it could have been more so , if the colonel had not turned down an extra $ 1 million profit from a late bidder . he had given his word that he was going to close the deal and he would not go back on his word . \u201cone can\u2019t afford to be dishonorable , \u201d he said . \u201ckeeping your word is the least you can do . no one should get any credit for that . \u201d\nhe also believed that employees should share in the company\u2019s success . when he came out of the army in 1946 he set up an employee pension plan that was a model of its kind . \u201cdad had a tremendous regard for the men and women who had been loyal to him , \u201d said his son lester who was active in the business with him . \u201che put together probably the finest profit - sharing plan conceived at that time . \u201d\nhis generosity attracted the attention of time magazine , which wrote about the respect his employees had for him . there was almost no turnover at his companies . the employees didn\u2019t have to contribute a penny to their pension plan .\nthey received up to 15 percent of their annual income , which henry invested for them , doubling and tripling their money . but he refused to invest their funds in this own company . \u201ci didn\u2019t want the employees to think we were exploiting them , \u201d he said .\n\u201chenry believed that to achieve any goal there could be no compromise with integrity , hard work , perseverance against all odds , infinite patience and unflinching loyalty , \u201d said his wife gladys . \u201chis philosophy of \u2018giving\u2019 was always that it must be of oneself . these qualities , i believe , were the foundation of henry\u2019s success . \u201d\nto get the best experience with our website , we suggest using a newer version of internet explorer / edge , or using another supported browser such as google chrome .\nnutrien produces and distributes over 26 million tonnes of potash , nitrogen and phosphate products for agricultural , industrial and feed customers world -

its more fresh than sweet . however its a pretty good take on aventus , the drydown is very good , similar to cdni . i would recommend l ' aventure , damn good fragrance .\nhas anyone tried cavalier men from arabian oud ? it is not in the list of perfumes to review but it is really good smell and very similar to creed aventus . if someone has tried it can they please post a comparision with l ' aventure .\nl ' aventure du sucre , the sugar museum is very close to the pamplemousse botanical gardens . comprehensive information and sugar refining machinery detailing the history of the sugar industry on mauritius . best part is at the end when get to taste numerous different rums !\nimagine my delight to return to l\u2019aventure after taking my wife on our first date and meal in december 1980 . i now took my daughter for her 21st anniversare with our family to celebrate . the food produced values all the best ideals in the convivial . . .\ni wouldn\u2019t even really say cdnim is better or l\u2019aventure is better , they both smell like aventus , just different batches of aventus and it really boils down to what you like . . . cdnim is your smokier batch of aventus , l\u2019aventure is more of your \u201cwell - rounded\u201d batches of aventus . . . both perform really great , both are affordable . . . i love both of them . . . it\u2019s like comparing lebron to mj , they\u2019re both great but play 2 different positions . . . same with these , both are great , but they\u2019re both different . . . l\u2019aventure and cdnim both smell like the better batches of aventus that creed use to make a few years back which is why i own both of them because it\u2019s like owning 2 different batches of aventus to me lol i love both of these tho . . . my buddy at work wears aventus all the time and i\u2019ve smelled so many different batches of aventus from him and l\u2019aventure and cdnim both smell exactly like some of his better aventus batches and nobody can tell them apart , everybody asks me if we have the same cologne and i\u2019m like . . . yeah , pretty much except i\u2019m saving like $ 300 lmao . . . me personally i like the smoky batches better ( cdnim ) but i also like the more well - rounded batches ( l\u2019aventure ) so i tend to switch up a lot lol l\u2019aventure isn\u2019t really smoky , it\u2019s more musky in the dry down , not real dark and more fruity it\u2019s really really nice in the air and you\u2019ll garner the same amount of compliments wearing this as you would wearing cdnim , i do at least .\n\u00b4s good , no problem with it my friend\u00b4s got club de nuit intense but i decided to go for l\u00b4aventure because of packaging / design of the scent and more citrusy / summer vibe of the smell . . . it\u00b4s not that smoky as club de nuit . . .\nit remains a mystery how come l ' aventure manages to keep the standards high after all the years and how come they do not get tired of being good at what they do . their own brand of arrogant yet quite friendly and certainly very professional service , . . .\nmany thanks for your appreciation and for sharing your family experience . indeed our new children\u2019s guide was recently launched in french and will soon be available in english . our range of rums contends only high -

at this price i expecting spot on identical scent and performance , but not getting it . here is my secret of getting 95 % aventus scent and performance from inexpensive clones , and sometimes even better performance than bad aventus batch : i ' m using l ' aventure or insurrection pure 2 as a projection and sillage buster for al - rehab avenue roll on oil . avenue is very close to aventus in scent and has even better longevity , but sillage and projection is very modest at best . l ' aventure has beast sillage and projection , but short longevity and lacks of pineapple note . insurrection is a bit too smoky , good projection and sillage , but moderate longevity . on my skin i use 4 sprays of insurrection and dab of avenue right on every spray in summer or hot spring and autumn days , and 4 sprays of l ' aventure and little roll of avenue right on top of each sprayed spot for winter or colder days . in both cases it lasts 12 - 14 hours on my skin , and projects about 6ft for 4 - 5 hours , and then another 3 - 4 hours more within arm reach .\nduring our private north day tour , one of the mauritius attractions you will have the opportunity to visit is the sugar museum , also known as l\u2019aventure du sucre . located in an old sugar factory in the northern village of pamplemousses , this museum is quickly becoming one of the most popular places to visit in mauritius . it takes about one and a half to two hours to complete the \u2018sugar trail\u2019 inside the beau plan mill but we know clients who wish they had en entire day to spend there !\nwow ! in the opening you get a blast of fresh lemons and pineapple which is combined in a beautiful way , and in the dry - down you get a 99 % comparison to the more lemony batches of creed aventus , despite maybe a little less quality of ingredients is noticeable compared to the king , as l ' aventure is more sharp where aventus is more rounded and balanced . however , a very good clone and at times i prefer this over aventus , if you wanna go for the very lemony fresh overload of pineapple and citrus .\nnice little number this . the comparisons to aventus creed are definitely spot on i ' d say . to be honest this fragrance surprised me as i hadn ' t heard about it at all until i went to my local sunna musk and the chap there recommended this - maybe it ' s because it was december but the scent really came alive during the cold weather compared to the summer where it didn ' t really project quite as well . it is a fabulous fragrance though and with the winter season looming i ' m definitely going to be putting l ' aventure to good use again .\ni bought this for my husband on a whim because of the aventus creed comparison . i have never smelled aventus and if aventus smells better than this . . . wowzer . l ' aventure smells amazing . i can ' t stress that enough . it hits me right in the root chakra . fresh , woodsy ? i don ' t know it all just melts together into a manly man scent . this could be for an executive lumberjack who rides a motorcycle . does that makes sense ? i get a sense of being safe but this man is trouble kind of vibe . it lasts on my husband from shower to shower . 12 hours plus . lasts on clothes for days . has gotten him complimented . and when he says that i got it for him i ' m then complimented on my selection . he has stopped wearing it all the time cause he wants to smell good but not so good to the point of being hit on . so , i have to look for something more mediocre . i wish i were joking . i love l ' aventure . i sometimes just take the cap off and smell the nozzle . it ' s a 10 / 10 for longevity and sillage . i probably won ' t go out of my way to smell aventus because this cologne can stand on its own .\nfragrance - l ' aventure al haramain bottle from - 2016 l ' aventure opens with a burst of sharp , fresh , bright and a bit fruity citrus with bergamot as a dominant note . he ' s got that tropical vibe in the opening . than as it lingers on the skin , luminous citrus / fruity notes slowly give way to a woody , elegant , smokey , ambery and musky blend with a wisper of gentle flowers . this fragrance is very similar to aventus by creed , there is no question about it . longevity - 8 / 10 ( 8 + hours ) silage / projection - 7 , 5 / 10 ( moderate to high projection and silage for the first 2 - 3 hours ) weather - for more or less any time of year . best in spring and summer . i personally wouldn ' t wear this on a really cold winter days . versatility - 10 / 10 age - 20 + compliments - 9 / 10 scent - 8 , 5 / 10 main notes according to me - bergamot , lemon , musk , woody notes , flowers , resins . the drydown is nice and i get some - woodiness , musk , amber and flowers . emotions - timeless , fresh , sharp , bright , elegant , calming . occasion - for more or less any ocasion . great for signature scent . you ' ll get compliments with this fragrance .\nas of right now the most expensive aventus clone , pineapple vintage , is on sale on the main site for $ 65 off . it ' s not listed in fragrantica , yet , and while it ' s supposed to be very close to aventus , the creative spin the creators put into it is a much higher emphasis on a juicy , long - lasting pineapple note . i have not personally tried it , but since i see some of you guys talking about aventus clones i figured i ' d let you know . remember , it ' s purposely not a straight clone , but if you love the pineapple note from aventus ( which l ' aventure clearly lacks ) then definitely check it out .\ni ' d like to preface this review by saying i ' ve owned creed ' s aventus since it came out in 2010 , and i currently still have a 90 % - full bottle of the coveted 11z01 batch , so i know this fragrance better than most . having said this , i was shocked when i first sprayed l ' aventure , because honestly , it is almost indistinguishable from the smokier batch of aventus i used to own . no hyperbole , just the truth . i can afford creed , but i ' d have to be a cast iron mug to buy aventus when i can get this . also , some kool - aid connoisseurs will have you believe this is ' more synthetic ' than aventus - no truth there whatsoever .\ni ' ve been following this a little bit . i first got a carded sample of this and it ' s very aventus - like . my favorite clone of it . then i got a mostly full bottle without a box in a swap . it ' s silver or chrome with the black cap . says al haramain on the top of one side and l ' aventure on the lower area of the same side . on the bottom it ' s just a smooth surface with no batch number or anything . it smells like the sample , pineapple accords and some smoke . so no idea of its provenance , but i ' m enjoying it as my favorite aventus clone . thought about a back up bottle at the right price , so interested how this thread goes .\ni own this and club de nuit inttense . i do not own aventus . i absolutely love club de nuit and being l adventure was inexpensive and supposed to be equally as good i blind bought it . sprayed both on my arms to compare . club de nuit is smokies and stronger whereas adventure is fresher , nowhere near as smoky , still woodsy mind you but a more cleaner refined woods . i really love both but if i only had to have one it would be club de nuit intense . the longevity is better too with club . i will own both though because l adventure will be just fine for even the hottest summer days and to my nose club de nuit intense may be too smoky and rich . i love both , i see value in owning both . i have not tried avantus but i will be purchasing a sample or small decant so i can truly compare and see if the differences / positives of aventus to justify the enormous price difference . as i said prior in my club de nuit review that if it were discontinued ( same with l adventure ) then i would buy avantus without question sight unseen because i absolutely love these fragrances . well worth a blind buy .\nlaetitia winery ( formerly maison deutz ) is located just off highway 1 and high enough to forget the traffic below . the tasting room is large , with an l - shaped tiled tasting bar on the right , a large fireplace on the back wall , and a wall of windows to the left . there are some food and gift items for sale . being a joint venture with barnwood cellars , wines under the barnwood label are also available for tasting and purchase .\nlet ' s be honest : i have the orginals creed green irish tweed , virgin island water and silver mountain water . for a trained expert nose , it is very easy to find wich one is green irish tweed and wich one is cool water . but just for an expert , for most of common people , they virtually are the same . sorry , but i will not pay for creed or amouage quality anymore ( i have reflections too ) . something 90 - 99 % equal for an untrained nose is good enough for me . even cdni is good enough . of course , if i am among experts , i will use something original . but frankly , stay among experts is a rare event . so i am happy with l ' aventure . no need to say it is not equal aventus . several persons wrote this in their reviews . but , for common situatios with regular people , it virtually is equal . and my pocket don ' t get more 200 - 300u $ bottle perfumes , sorry .\nin nov 2013 i took my 2nd trip to l ' aventure du sucre . i tried to have an open mind because this museum really tries to make itself interesting but i really didn ' t enjoy it either time . the museum has too much in it . it would take me a week to read it all and for my kids - forget it ! they raced through to get to the sugar tasting - 12 types of sugar in the very pricey gift shop at the end of the tour . i can ' t say any of us were enlightened by our visit . our conclusion is that making sugar is a lot of work ! the only other highlight is the train engine that you can make whistle and roar into action ( the wheels turn but it doesn ' t move ) if you get 2 answers correct in a row . the fact that the questions are in french added to the challenge . my kids loved the glass and tea factories and the insect museum ( at the crocodile zoo ) in mauritius , but we ' re not going back to the sugar adventure .\ni really like the way this exposition is prepared , you can learn a lot not only about the sugar production , but also about the history of mauritius . there is also a lot of interesting old photos . the pannels are quite clear and organized in a way you can easily find things that interest you the most . at the end of the visit you are rewarded by a sugar tasting , very interesting , you can also buy the sugar in the gift shop . if you do not come to mauritius only to sunbathe , but you are also interested in the island\u00b4s history , definitely visit the aventure du sucre .\nwinemaker stephan asseo began working in paso robles 10 years ago , after 15 years in france .\nwine spectator : what has the growing season been like in 2006 ? stephan asseo : we ' ve had a good season . the charm of paso robles is that we ' re really consistent with the weather . because of the late picking date , it will be good for people with early varieties like merlot and chardonnay and for people like me who have late - maturing varieties like petit verdot and mourv\u00e8dre . for people who did their job - - managed their canopy and size of the crop - - it will be a good year .\nws : what do you expect from the 2006 wines ? sa : they will be big but not as soft as in riper years . the tannins will be a little bit more european in style , and there will be lower alcohol levels and beautiful acidity . it ' s the kind of vintage i love the most .\nws : how would you describe the terroir of your vineyard ? sa : we ' re on the west side of paso . there ' s kind of a geological break where highway 101 passes . on the east side it ' s more loamy and sandy and situated at a lower elevation . on the west , we ' re higher and we have a lot of limestone . it ' s also cooler because the templeton gap brings in more of the ocean air . we have a lot of heat in the day but it ' s very cold at night . it ' s about a 45 to 50 degree difference in temperatures between night and day . that gives us good ripeness but we also have excellent acidity .\nws : anything new this year in the vineyard or winery ? sa : this year i ' m not using any more pumps to bring my juice to the tanks . i have two new conveyors and it will bring the fruit from the crusher to the tanks and really respect the berries . 2006 will also be the last year i use purchased fruit . i had a huge planting in 2004 and i now have 56 acres and i should get some fruit from those vines this year . in 2007 , we will be 100 percent estate .\nws : what ' s the most exciting part about harvest for you ? sa : to discover a new vintage every year , to see what will be the style of the wine . even though it ' s very consistent in paso , each vintage is different .\nws : what ' s the scariest part about harvest ? sa : coming from bordeaux , it ' s a piece of cake here . the weather and climate is like a dream .\nws : how many harvests does this make for you ? sa : twenty - five . my first vintage was 1982 in bordeaux , where i was a bottle washer , winemaker and slave . that was quite a vintage to get started on .\nto protect the quality of our conversations , only members may submit comments . member benefits include access to more than 315 , 000 reviews in our wine ratings search ; a first look at ratings in our insider , advance and tasting highlights ; value wines ; the personal wine list / my cellar tool , hundreds of wine -

owners mark nesbitt and john simpson , he opened chumeia ( pronounced koo - may - a , greek for alchemy ) in may 2001 . the winery is small and the tasting bar is situated in a corner of the winery , surrounded by stainless steel tanks and wine boxes -

238 - 2809\nfratelli perata winery was established in 1987 by brothers gino and joe perata and remains family - owned and operated . the winery may be a little hard to find from the road , and even after successfully locating it , one can wonder if this is the winery at all . unlike the larger commercial wineries , fratelli perata has a very unpretentious and homey feel to it . the tasting room ( look for the beautiful wall mural ) is almost entirely filled with wine barrels - - reminiscent of the way wineries used to look prior to the onset of\nvisitor centers .\nall wines are hand made , unfined and unfiltered and are produced from estate vineyards planted in 1980 . the winery produces syrah , sangiovese , nebbiolo , merlot , cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc . the sangiovese and merlot were the standouts .\nthe jankris winery tasting room , formerly of dover canyon , is located in a 120 -

interested but naturally like to help others .\nlooking at how long box ' s strength will endure in the long run , gillett suggested a few different roadmaps , including the possibility of being acquired by a larger enterprise software provider ( perhaps even a player at the level of an sap or a salesforce . com ) after an ipo . he also hinted that box ' s current strategy of focusing on the enterprise , which is arguably its biggest differentiator from the likes of dropbox and other growing cloud storage services , might not be enough .\nonce again , smith was more measured in his evaluation , noting that an ipo should serve as\nanother milestone in what is going to be a very long game for us .\nthe contract ( h92240 - 13 - p - 0250 ) awarded was the first contract award after many years of rigorous testing of the mk48 vortex flash hider by crane naval surface warfare center . crane was so impressed with the mk48 , it awarded smith enterprise a national stock number ( 1005 - 01 - 600 - 8577 ) and also safety certified the device . crane naval surface warfare center is the contracting division for the navy seals .\nto scan the documents , s . j . smith uses a fujitsu fi - 6670 , a high - speed , duplex - capable document scanner that lets the company scan about 90 pages per minute , nearly triple the volume of the old system . during the scanning process , knowledgelake capture lets s . j . smith establish templates for the different types of documents being scanned .\nin short , smith argues that the division of labor and specialization produces prosperity . \u201cit is the great multiplication of the productions of all the different arts , in consequence of the division of labor , which occasions , in a well - governed society , that universal opulence which extends itself to the lowest ranks of the people , \u201d states smith in \u201cthe wealth of nations .\nbut much like levie and smith , hamid had his work cut out for him in proving to his bosses that box was worth the investment . for starters , hamid noted that enterprise software like this wasn ' t on the radar yet . additionally , hamid jokingly lamented that box actually had\nrevenue\nback in 2007 , which he explained wasn ' t a\ngreat\nword during the peak of the web 2 . 0 era .\ni probably spent more time talking with aaron than i did with my family at that stage , so we stayed in pretty close contact when we went off to school ,\nsmith noted .\n\u201cthe knowledgelake search capabilities and metadata associated with the documents allows s . j . smith to access information quicker , which in turn helps our employees provide customers with better service , \u201d says shradel .\nsmith said it is here where box has been able to solve a burning pain point that cios across all industries are trying desperately to remedy . slowly but surely , there has been a noticeable shift toward more willingness , even\nexcitement and energy ,\nas smith puts it , among businesses in moving to the cloud . smith maintained a somewhat conservative analysis though , saying we ' re still in the early stages of seeing adoption , and that there are still\nalways\ngoing to be many slower - moving it departments and cios , especially when it comes to regulated industries like healthcare and financial services .\nsmith micro now offers a comprehensive portfolio of wireless solutions that enable wireless carriers to build stronger relationships with subscribers , while also maximizing average revenue per user ( arpu ) through value - added services like digital lifestyle solutions and premium messaging services . in addition , smith micro ' s well - known graphics solutions provide powerful tools to digital artists of all skill sets and experience levels , from amateur hobbyists to professional animators and illustrators .\nbox as a platform and company was born in 2005 , but even that was well after the establishment of the friendship between levie and his co - founder and box ' s chief financial officer , dylan smith .\ni have an idea of which country this is based on the discussion i had with ron smith . the u . s . department of state is still reviewing the paperwork so i ' ll just keep quiet .\nif you are concerned about the price , it may be useful to compare these rifles with the white feather rifle made by springfield armory , inc . these rifles generally sell for approximately $ 5000 . the crazy horse\u00ae rifle does not have any commercial cast components and is equipped with the leupold scope which the military specifies . these scopes cost at least $ 1000 , with some models being more .\nsmith is most famous for his 1776 - piece ,\nthe wealth of nations ,\nbut his first major treatise ,\nthe theory of moral sentiments ,\nreleased in 1759 created many ideas still practiced today .\non a blustery afternoon in november 2013 , i had the chance to catch up with smith and levie and witness their camaraderie in person . instead of the icy stereotype in which co - founders of the most successful startups are usually not on speaking terms outside the office ( or maybe even in the office ) , smith and levie ' s friendship looks stronger than ever , with levie comparing the decision to quit school to jumping off a cliff .\nultimately through the ideas presented in\nthe wealth of nations ,\nsmith changed the import / export business , created the concept of what is now known as gross domestic product ( gdp ) and argued for free exchange .\nmore than 20 years ago , the company produced semi - automatic m14 - type receivers\u2014machined by ron smith and his father , richard , from forged billet and investment cast 8620 steel\u2014that became highly regarded among highpower service rifle competitors .\ng6a2 -

sbv sold separately . see next item below .\nmoreover , the m14 uscg / navy muzzle brake is not compatible with the sei wind talker m14dc sound suppressor , which must be used with the vortex dc flash eliminator . it installs with a castle nut . the suggested retail price for the smith enterprise good iron 7 . 62mm m14 uscg / navy muzzle brake is $ 145 . also listed under the good iron family is the good iron . 338 lapua muzzle brake , good iron m1 garand brake , and much more . see below for specifications of the 7 . 62mm m14 muzzle brake .\nin the case of someone who grew up in a big enterprise software company , box chief operating officer dan levin touted that younger hires help the senior management better understand what ' s going on with the latest cutting edge stuff and how to think about the ways the next generations of workers are going to behave .\ncrazy horse\u00ae rifles are equipped exactly as if built for the us government . in the event you live in occupied territory where liberty does not exist ( california , illinois , mass , new jersey , etc ) and which do not permit standard capacity magazines , flash hiders , bayonet lugs , or silencers , you may still be able to purchase a crazy horse\u00ae rifle . this rifle does have a vortex\u00ae flash hider , however , that flash hider can be replaced by a smith enterprise muzzle break which is extremely effective and legal in many of the occupied territories\ndespite going to college on opposite sides of the country , levie and smith kept in touch frequently , primarily via email and instant messenger . the two would meet up in person from time - to - time back in seattle during school breaks .\nour . 260 remington smith - hart m14 barrel is ready to go . we shot it both suppressed and unsuppressed . these barrels will be made when the order is placed . they are 416 stainless , each barrel is hand lapped . . .\nthe only difference between the civilian and military rifles is the select fire capability . military rifles are made using usgi military receivers which have the select fire lug on the receiver . while this is blocked to permit semi - automatic fire only , it is still classified as a machinegun . the civilian rifles are made using a receiver made by lrb . a very limited number of rifles are made using a smith enterprise receiver . it is worth noting that none of these rifles have rear lugs because when built on the crazy horse\u00ae fiberglass stock , a rear lug is not necessary .\nthe consumerization of it is driven by consumer devices , but you still have to have enterprise applications on those devices ,\nlevie explained .\nwhat we found was the best mix was the ipad , the new form factor that could let people do entirely new things in the enterprise that weren ' t possible before . a doctor can pull up a medical image , a construction worker can pull up the plans for the construction site , and we realized they would need new types of software to make that happen . that consumer grade software wasn ' t going to be enough to allow them to really pull out the kinds of workflows and business scenarios that they needed .\nwith that money , box was finally able to get real marketing momentum going by october 2005 as well as more engineers . but even at the beginning of december 2005 , smith still seemed like he was on the fence about where all this was going .\nbox has grown rapidly since it was established , from offering a simple cloud storage service to hosting an all - inclusive enterprise platform for workplace collaboration to content management and editing . the los altos , california - based business has inked deals to integrate its portfolio with some of the biggest brands in tech including google , salesforce . com , and netsuite .\n\u201cwe found that knowledgelake\u2019s integration with microsoft sharepoint was the easiest solution we could deploy for our enterprise content management , \u201d says shradel . \u201csharepoint addressed our need to provide a searchable library interface that displays scanned images in a non - proprietary , web - compatible format . compared to the competition , knowledgelake shined in all the areas we looked at . \u201d\nthe knowledgelake solution is significantly easier and faster to use than the prior document imaging solution at s . j . smith . it adds speed and efficiency to tasks that used to be time - consuming , enabling employees to redirect their time and efforts to other duties .\nwhen ron smith , president of smith enterprise was asked about this he stated , \u201cthis is a no brainer . for what 1sg onstine did for his men and this country , the least we could do was get their suppressors upgraded for them . these sound suppressors they have are quite the find . imagine how many battles they went through over the last 9 years ? there must have easily been tens of thousands of rounds fired through them and many of fine fighting men must have taken these suppressors on and off their rifles over the years . they were in as good a shape as when we first sent them off , just needed to have the carbon cleaned off . we wanted 1sg and his men to have our new light weight coupler , our new baffles , our new end cap , and our new vortex . we want these heroes to have the best we have to offer them . \u201d\nit gave us pause for concern because google can just eat your lunch ,\nhamid said plainly . smith also recalled when google was working on a storage service around the same time box held its series a round , remembering the project codename as\nplatypus .\nadam smith was an 18th - century philosopher renowned as the father of modern economics , and a major proponent of laissez - faire economic policies . in his first book ,\nthe theory of moral sentiments ,\nsmith proposed the idea of the invisible hand\u2014the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by means of competition , supply and demand , and self - interest . smith is also known for his theory of compensating wage differentials , meaning that dangerous or undesirable jobs tend to pay higher wages to attract workers to these positions , but he is most famous for his 1776 book :\nan inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations .\nread on to learn about how this scottish philosopher argued against mercantilism to become the father of modern free trade and the creator of the concept now known as gdp .\nthe fund aims to achieve positive returns on a rolling 12 months basis , with low risk and low volatility expected , primarily through the use of equities and cfds . the fund invests primarily in the united kingdom . the fund\u2019s proposition is that it is a ucits iiii uk long / short fund , that aims to achieve a target return of 10 - 12 % per annum irrespective of market conditions although this is not guaranteed . the fund is a ucits scheme ( fsa recognised ) launched on 15 january 2010 with the transfer of assets from the cayman - domiciled smith & williamson enterprise fund . the unregulated scheme was launched on 3 april 2006 .\nsmith\u2019s 1776 work ,\nan inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations ,\nalso shortened as\nthe wealth of nations ,\ndocumented industrial development in europe . while critics note that smith didn ' t invent many of the ideas that he wrote about , he was the first person to compile and publish them in a format designed to explain them to the average reader of the day . as a result , he is responsible for popularizing many of the ideas that underpin the school of thought that became known as classical economics .\nout of all the company ' s i have got parts from . i put smith at the top . i have a m14 in a sage stock from them and i have to say the fit and finish is top of the line . you get what you pay for . thanks\nlack of interoperability has always been a major roadblock to enterprise communications and collaboration as the disparate platforms are proprietary and therefore cannot talk to each other . unified communications and collaboration ( ucc ) offerings have failed to give users full contextual collaboration , or even provide much native integration or interoperability with other platforms and systems . this has especially hampered external collaboration with business partners and customers .\nwith enterprises now flooded with application proliferation and fragmentation , it becomes difficult to manage and govern securely . the interoperability problem rears its head again with disparate collaboration applications . there is valuable interaction data in all of these application silos , but much of it is inaccessible . it cannot be reliably curated , leveraged by other apps , or fed back into enterprise workflows for subsequent reuse .\nthe crazy horse\u00ae concept for military applications was first explored in 2003 by smith enterprise in conjunction with ( picatinny arsenal and the army infantry school , ) the original concept was to develop a semi - automatic precision rifle which employed used the 7 . 62x51 cartridge . the rifle was to be capable of 1 moa or better . the 7 . 62 round is a proven caliber for precision rifle applications and is readily available . there exists plentiful supplies of the m118lr ammunition in inventories and this round is approved for military operations under the laws of armed conflict under the geneva convention . finally , a plentiful reserve of rifles suited for this use ( the m14 ) exists .\nused by us armed forces worldwide , the us dept of homeland security and law enforcement agencies across the nation , the vortex flash hider features a patented 15 degree , right hand helical flute design that effectively eliminates muzzle flash . machined from ordnance grade 8620 steel and finished with a mil - spec phosphate , the vortex is a self - tightening flash suppressor that will not loosen or shift position under sustained fire . the new g6a3 vortex comes equipped with a grooved exterior for less contact surface and reduced carbon build up , making the removal sound suppressors easier . compatible with gemtech halo and smith enterprise / fisher quick attach / detach direct connect ( dc ) silencers . notes :\nby the late \u201890s , dial - up internet access was being replaced by cable internet , dsl and wireless broadband technologies , due to the substantially higher speeds and reliability they afforded . this change led smith micro to re - apply its network connection expertise to new wireless and mobility applications .\nsix cap screws and double clamp bolts with 1\u20442 ' ' ' ' nuts , solidly lock scope , rings and base into one unit . prevents large objective 30mm scopes from slipping under recoil on . 50 bmg rifles . povides clearance for 56mm objective scopes . square cross bolts provide secure , ring -

faire philosophies , such as minimizing the role of government intervention and taxation in the free markets , and the idea that an\ninvisible hand\nguides supply and demand are among the key ideas smith ' s writing is responsible for promoting . these ideas reflect the concept that each person , by looking out for him or herself , inadvertently helps to create the best outcome for all .\nit is not from the benevolence of the butcher , the brewer , or the baker , that we can expect our dinner , but from their regard to their own interest ,\nsmith wrote ."]}

and - mortar . t\namazon got its start as an online bookseller , and now \u2014 over 20 years later \u2014 it ' s decided to sell books the old - fashioned way . on tuesday , amazon will open a store in seattle called amazon books . not only is it one of amazon ' s first physical locations , but it ' s also amazon ' s first physical bookstore . amazon says that it won ' t entirely be doing things like a traditional store , however ; it ' ll be relying on urltoken data \u2014 including customer ratings , sales totals , and goodread ' s popularity \u2014 to decide which books to stock . curators will have some say , too .\none of the first things you ' ll notice is that all of the books are displayed with their covers outward .\n. . . as well as categories that you wouldn ' t find at your typical bookstore , like books with more than 10 , 000 reviews on amazon . com .\nthe stores are mostly focused on books , but also sell amazon ' s line of consumer electronics , including its kindle e - readers and fire tv streaming media players .\nof course using data to make decisions alone is not a bad thing . what is interesting about amazon books is that it is seemingly quick to adapt once it learns what doesn\u2019t work\u2014a challenge for traditional bookstores . store locations that opened earlier in other cities , for example , placed self - help books near religion , says cast , but customers said they thought they would be better suited near business books . after consulting its sales data , amazon decided to change .\namazon books is not your average bookstore . taylor , who visited soon after it opened , described the store as \u201csterile\u201d and \u201cnot what we think of as a normal bookstore\u201d .\nregarding amazon books\u2019s impact on independent bookstores , bass said : \u201cwe think successful stores will remain successful . offline retail is a big space with room for lots of winners . \u201d\namazon books is slated to open in hudson yards , the massive retail , commercial and residential space developed by related cos . and oxford properties group , sources tell the post .\nwe are excited to be bringing amazon books to washington square this fall , and we are currently hiring store managers and associates . stay tuned for additional details down the road .\nin addition , you ' ll find great book recommendations that may be of interest to you based on your search and purchase history , as well as the most wished for and most gifted books . we hope you enjoy the urltoken books homepage !\ncorrection : an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the store stocked only books with an average online rating of 4 . 5 stars or above . this location stocks new releases as well as books with a four - star rating or above .\n\u201cwe talk about ourselves as a physical extension of amazon . com , \u201d said jennifer cast , vice president of amazon books , on a tour for press . indeed : amazon books heavily promotes its data - driven approach all around the store , just like the site does with its many recommendations\u2014and makes amazon\u2019s prime service feel irresistible , just like the site does . but by making the store an extension of amazon . com , rather than a place in which people really want to spend time and forget their screens in lieu of something quieter , amazon books takes away one of the greatest pleasures of a bookstore : escapism . with the entire store blinking like a banner ad for amazon prime above your head , you lose the ability to fade away into the printed word .\nwith online sales still accounting for about 8 % of all retail sales in the us , the goal of amazon books ' physical store is to help capture those purchases that happen offline .\namazon and ggp declined to comment . it ' s unclear where mathrani got the figure for amazon ' s plans .\nthe stores share some basic characteristics , such as displaying their books face out , carrying digital devices and accessories , and only stocking books that receive high ratings from amazon reviewers . in a new wrinkle added after the first few stores opened , customers who are members of amazon\u2019s prime membership service receive the same discounts they get for online purchases ; books are full price for nonmembers . most stores , which range from 3 , 500 to 6 , 000 sq . ft . , employ around 20 booksellers and staff .\nat the amazon bookstore in seattle\u2019s university village , prime members who pay $ 99 for an annual membership \u2014 or $ 10 . 99 per month \u2014 can purchase books and other items at the same price that they sell for on amazon . com .\namazon books is a physical extension of urltoken that integrates the benefits of offline and online shopping to help you discover products you\u2019ll love , like your next great read . we select books based on urltoken customer ratings , pre - orders , sales , popularity on goodreads , and our curators\u2019 assessments . stop by to explore the aisles , and test drive amazon devices including amazon echo , kindle e - readers , fire tablets , and fire tv .\n\u201cowners of independent bookstores do this because we love books and we love people who love books . we are willing to make an income that is next to nothing in order to serve our communities . amazon has size and resources , but they will never hold the heart of their communities in their hands as we do . \u201d\nurltoken offers you over 10 million titles across categories such as children\u2019s books , business & economics , indian writing and literature & fiction .\n\u201cwe\u2019re giving customers an additional way to discover books and devices they\u2019ll love by integrating the benefits of offline and online shopping in a physical store , \u201d company spokesperson deborah bass said of amazon\u2019s strategy .\nthe online retailer plans to open another brick -

readers and fire tablets .\nprime members enjoy free two - day shipping and exclusive access to music , movies , tv shows , original audio series , and kindle books .\nand that is ok with amazon , according to mike elgan , a contributing columnist for computerworld , who , when amazon first began opening brick - and - mortar stores , wrote that what amazon really is selling \u201cis the impulse to buy everything from amazon . \u201d\nthey ' re also a physical advertisement for amazon ' s profitable $ 99 - a - year free delivery and extras prime program . the bookstores feature a two - tier pricing system . amazon prime members pay amazon ' s online price for books while non - prime customers pay the list price , typically 10 % to 30 % more .\n\u201ci think it\u2019s very nice to see the books faced outwards . i like that very much . the reviews , not so much . i tend not to put my faith in personal reviews of books . everyone\u2019s taste is different . i don\u2019t know who these people are , \u201d she said .\namazon books , the e - commerce giant\u2019s seemingly incongruous brick - and - mortar venture , is now open at westfield utc mall in university city . the bookstore marks the company\u2019s second formal foray into offline retail .\namazon , which used books to build its e - commerce empire \u2014 and to convince shoppers to buy online and avoid a trip to the local bookstore \u2014 is now opening its own version of a local bookstore .\nreading books is the favourite pastime of many people . if you\u2019re bitten by the book - bug too , then there is a massive collection of books for you to read . from bestsellers to new & future releases , the choices are exhaustive when you shop online at india ' s largest bookstore .\namazon does have one physical bookstore , which it opened in its hometown of seattle back in november . books are offered at the same price as those online , the company says . customers are also able to peruse amazon devices including kindle , echo , fire tv and fire tablet series .\namazon is currently hiring for a new amazon books bookstore in southern california that has yet to be announced , according to job listings . one listing , for an amazon books assistant store manager in la jolla or san diego , says : \u201cyou love the excitement of running a bookstore . you have a flair for leading teams and adjusting your leadership style based on the situation . you enjoy reading and keep yourself updated on the latest in the digital devices front . you are part of the store leadership team . \u201d\nthe store doesn\u2019t let you escape the noise of shopping online : one section is for books with more than 10 , 000 reviews ; another display is for \u201cpage - turners , \u201d based on ebooks that customers have read in three or fewer days ; with a few exceptions , books need a 4 - star review to be in the store ; to enter , you have to walk around a table showing books 4 . 8 star - rated or higher .\nsome of that data includes reviews from the millions of amazon customers who have left appraisals of books on the website . below each book on the shelf is a card with either a review or a rating from the site .\n\u201cthe bookstores i love celebrate reading , \u201d cast said . \u201cwhat better way to celebrate reading than to have the voices of readers under our books ? \u201d\nbut cady tells a different story . \u201ceveryone\u2019s had to adjust to amazon online , \u201d she says , , \u201cbut having a store just down the street is a little different . we\u2019re at ground zero . we\u2019re in the blast . \u201d university book store is less than a mile away from amazon books .\nurltoken launched its online bookselling site at a time when bookstore chains such as barnes & noble , waldenbooks and crown books were familiar storefronts in american shopping malls .\nthe store , called amazon books , looks a lot like bookstores that populate malls across the country . its wood shelves are stocked with 5 , 000 to 6 , 000 titles , best - sellers as well as urltoken customer favorites .\namazon\u2019s customers help select books for the store in other ways as well . the new store includes , for example , \u201cbald , fat & crazy : how i beat cancer while pregnant with one daughter and adopting another\u201d by stephanie hosford , a title that ranks 622 , 923 in books sold on amazon . but those who have read it seem to love it . the book has a 5 -

commerce marketplace . sales associates\u2019 most frequent refrain \u2014 the question : \u201cdo you have the amazon app on your phone ? \u201d \u2014 is a constant reminder that something larger is at play . shoppers are not only trained on how to download the amazon app and scan books to check prices , but are also encouraged to pay with their amazon account , via smartphone , at checkout .\nmall owner backtracks from amazon bookstore statement a rumor that amazon might open 400 bookstores sent ripples across the bookselling world . check out this story on urltoken urltoken\nyou can also use the search inside ! \u2122 feature to look inside the book and browse through a few pages of the book , just as you would at a bookstore . read book reviews written by amazon customers , and review your favourite books too . urltoken also offers you personalised recommendations based on your browsing and purchasing history to help you discover new books that might interest you . so , whether you are looking to buy a story book for children ; study guides for engineering , law or medicine ; biographies or books on computing & digital media ; urltoken has a book for you .\n\u201cthis is a neighborhood where people live and want to support a bookstore , \u201d says tracy taylor , general manager of the elliott bay bookstore . many of her customers work for amazon , she says , which actually helps since they care about books .\nso , can amazon books succeed where others have not ?\nwe sure hope so ,\nsaid cast , noting that the goal is to bring customers a new way of shopping .\nwe have 20 years of experience delighting people online .\ncast notes that the stores are a\nblend of art and science .\nthe books are categorized in a way that makes it clear how the retail behemoth is using its troves of data . sections of the store include :\nbooks kindle readers finish in 3 days or less ,\nand\nfiction bestsellers in new york city .\ndespite its name , the venue isn\u2019t really a bookstore \u2014 at least not in the familiar sense . here , books act as a vehicle to drive consumers deeper into the amazon system , copic said . books , he said , are small but browsable , don ' t have a shelf - life and , more importantly , can act as conversation starters with staffers , who can then teach customers about the benefits of prime membership .\na rumor that amazon might open 400 bookstores sent ripples across the bookselling world .\nfigure 5 : existing amazon prime now hubs in the united states of america .\nfigure 12 : existing and projected new amazon fulfillment centers in the united kingdom .\nfigure 13 : existing and projected new amazon fulfillment centers in the united kingdom .\nprime members get the same prices as on urltoken for everything in the store . amazon devices are the same prices as on urltoken for all customers . non - prime members are welcome to learn about all the other amazon prime benefits and join prime in store . books and other items are available at list price for non - prime customers .\nin the case of children\u2019s books and cookbooks , which comprise two substantial sections of the store , that\u2019s a good thing . thick cookbooks with handsome covers benefit from being turned out .\nthe new store looks much like a traditional bookstore . you\u2019ll find sections for cookbooks , travel guides , and fiction . but other sections are based on amazon\u2019s years of accumulating data on which titles people look at and buy through its website , from its goodreads ebook platform , and user reviews , said jennifer cast , vice president of amazon books .\nthe program helps college mailrooms deal with an influx of orders from amazon prime and also provides a more convenient way for students to get textbooks for cheaper on amazon .\namazon also scored a $ 30 million contract to sell e - books to new york city schools , the nation\u2019s largest school district , according to the wall street journal . the contract comes with a $ 34 . 5 million option to extend for two more years .\namazon does seem to be up to something within its bookseller roots . robert sindelar , managing partner at the popular seattle shop third place books , said a few of his booksellers were contacted by amazon recruiters on linkedin . the booksellers didn\u2019t follow up with the recruiter , but from what they could tell , the project seemed related to a retail establishment .\nthe amazon book store takes a slightly different approach to retail . all book titles face outward , making it easy for customers to browse titles . also , none of the books have price tags . instead , customers wave the bar code on the book under a scanner in order to determine the price , which matches prices found on amazon . com .\nthose who are more into facts and figures will discover popular nonfiction books covering a vast array of topics like current events , economics , history , politics , and the latest biographies and memoirs . and let\u2019s not forget young readers . students can discover great textbook deals on millions of new and used titles in our textbook store , as well as test prep resources , study guides , and dictionaries . urltoken also carries professional reference books on everything from the national electric code to business law . no matter your profession , urltoken strives to carry the books you need .\npromoting itself as \u201cearth\u2019s biggest bookstore , \u201d amazon opened for business in july 1995 , using major book distributors and wholesalers to rapidly fill its orders . \u201cthe idea of selling books online was a foreign one , it took a while to take off , \u201d o\u2019keefe said .\nindeed , the selection ( or lack of selection at amazon books ) is one of the most puzzling things about it . for the company that expanded the concept of a bookstore to include every title imaginable available at the click of a mouse , amazon\u2019s experiment in irl - bookselling is an exercise in contraction , with only about 5 , 000 titles available .\namazon is currently hiring store managers and sales associates for the outpost , she added .\nthat store is slated to open this spring , amazon ' s spokeswoman said tuesday .\neven if amazon does so , independent owners aren\u2019t sure it would be a threat .\nthese lists , updated hourly , contain bestselling items . here you can discover the best history in amazon best sellers , and find the top 100 most popular amazon history .\nto actual booksellers , the amazon stores don\u2019t pose much of a threat \u2014 yet .\ndoes not represent amazon in any way and this article is only for informational purposes .\nthe store is small\u2014about 4 , 000 sq ft , compared to barnes & noble\u2019s typical 25 , 000 . the shelves are tidy , because the books are placed with their covers facing out , meaning the store contains about half of what it could if the books were arranged spines - out\u20148 , 000 titles compared to the 3 , 000 it carries , according to the store .\nthe new bookstore at legacy place mall in dedham , mass . , looks like other bookstores , with rows and rows of novels , a coffee bar , and browsing customers . but the main purpose of the store isn\u2019t to sell books . it\u2019s selling a brand called amazon .\namazon currently operates a network of ambient and cold storage grocery distribution centers across the united states service amazon pantry and amazon . fresh customers orders . this distribution network is unfolding slowly and the list of facilities below is likely incomplete . some of the amazon food - related facilities are shared with other operations such as the sortation center facilities . the buildings listed below are used in part or in whole for amazon . fresh or pantry operations .\nbut , strangely , the new amazon books in new york city doesn\u2019t do this , either . it has a slim fiction section , clearly chosen based on what people buy in print , not what people like to read more generally . i counted just 13 titles in the romance section , for example , even though romance is the best - selling fiction genre in the us . that\u2019s likely because amazon knows how people behave : romance buyers , while voracious , tend to buy ebooks . so the fiction section has books the human curators , based on analytics , know will sell well in the store . as a result the children\u2019s fiction section is noticeably massive . given limited real estate , this is smart . but it also gives one the sense that when you visit amazon books , you only see what an algorithm has sloppily decided for you .\ncustomers seem less interested in the amazon gadgets strategically but not obtrusively placed throughout the store \u2013 aside from the large amazon fire tv screen sitting right in front of the doors .\nin addition to its college campus stores and the new seattle bookstore , amazon currently operates pop - up shops in some california malls and amazon device vending machines in some airports .\nplease do not call us if you need to speak to amazon or need their phone numbers . we are not amazon . this is a news article for informational purposes only .\namazon\u2019s expansion into brick - and - mortar bookstores likely isn\u2019t due to the money in book sales . the stores also serve as a showroom for amazon devices such as the echo and echo dot and allows amazon to push its prime service by giving members discounted prices .\n\u201cpeople are going to think i\u2019m chicken little , \u201d says pam cady , the manager of general books at seattle\u2019s 116 - year - old university book store , \u201cbut the sky is falling . \u201d\nif you\u2019re at a bookstore and not looking for a unique brand of shade , you\u2019re probably looking for a book . that\u2019s where barnes & noble and urltoken , faceless corporations that nonetheless have the books you want , come in . in particular , this is what urltoken has excelled at , even more so than chain bookstores : getting you the books you want , cheap and hassle - free .\nu village\u2019s proximity to the university of washington has added to rumors of amazon\u2019s possible entrance .\nat amazon\u2019s bookstore in seattle , signs instruct customers about the pricing discounts prime members receive .\nit\u2019s equally interesting to see amazon now merge its prime membership with online and offline benefits .\nthe $ 13 . 7 -

checking crowd and works very well . it\u2019s been around since the 1990\u2019s and has been recently updated to version 5 . 1 . there is also a beta v6 in the works at the time of this writing .\none major disadvantage of using docmemory is that it requires that you create a bootable floppy disk . most computers today don ' t even have floppy drives . the better memory test programs ( above ) use bootable discs like cds and dvds , or bootable usb drives , instead .\nit might seem a bit strange that i rank memtest86 + as the # 3 pick , but since it ' s so incredibly similar to memtest86 , your best bet is to try memtest86 followed by wmd , which operates differently , providing you with a more well - rounded set of memory tests .\nyour computer will restart and the windows memory diagnostics tool screen will appear . just leave it be and let it perform the test . this may take several minutes . during this process , you\u2019ll see a progress bar and a \u201cstatus\u201d message will inform you if any problems have been detected during the process .\n6 . when you boot the computer , you hear a beep , multiple beeps and a continuous beep . depending on your manufacturer , a memory problem will be reported with a series of beeps . i\u2019ve seen this a lot of dell machines . it\u2019s almost always a ram problem when the computer beeps .\nin order to use it , you have to burn the iso image that you download to a cd and then configure the pc to boot from the cd drive first . this is exactly what the windows memory diagnostics tool does , but it\u2019s all built in and therefore doesn\u2019t require these two extra steps .\nit\u2019s also hard to instantly diagnose a problem as a ram problem because most pcs have multiple ram chips and not all of them will fail at once . when one fails and others work properly , a variety of odd behaviors will start to occur . here are some symptoms of bad memory on a pc .\nthe newly designed high - frequency test engine and scaleable data interface provides faster tests and gives you a higher resolution of timing measurements . ramcheck ' s architecture has been optimized to better support the memory devices of today and tomorrow . ramcheck supports all popular registered , unbuffered , ecc and non - ecc parity dimms .\npowered by a 40mhz texas instruments 486 processor , the ramcheck also uses an 184mhz altera cpld as a secondary sdram test engine . with 6mb of onboard memory the unit features an internet upgradeable 512kb flash rom , serial port for pc communication , 128x32 pixel backlit lcd and proprietory test algorithms . the device measures 9 . 5\nx6 . 5\nx3\n, weighs 3 . 5lbs and comes with an external ac adaptor . test algorithms used in the evaluation of memory include : checker patterns , walking 0 / 1 , voltage cycling and voltage bounce , march up / down , self - refresh and auto loop with changing patterns .\nmagnum\u2019s software has been architected to provide test engineers with true device - oriented parallel test programming environment . a test engineer writes a test program for a single device and the systems hardware clones the tests into multiple sites automatically . test programs developed on the magnum ev or pv can be used on production version magnum\u2019s to maximize parallel test . all the software tools are site savvy , enabling test engineers to investigate device performance , on any dut site , as though it was a one - site tester .\nthere are essentially two possible configurations for the ramcheck to be operated under . the first is simply to plug the unit in and read off the data from the small backlit lcd display . this works well for situations where memory modules in are being tested for compliance to one or two points of reference data ( speed , error bits , etc . ) .\nhowever , in environments where memory is being sorted according to more complex parameters , and test data for each module needs to be recorded , a more effective option is available . using the ramcheck ' s serial port , the unit can be connected to a standard desktop computer and the data logged in real time as the testing progresses using a companion software program .\nwhile these symptoms suggest faulty memory as a possibility , keep in mind they may not necessarily occur regularly : they may instead happen only when the specific faulty areas of your installed ram are accessed , the frequency of which may change depending on the amount of ram installed and how much you use it , which will govern how often the faulty areas of ram are accessed .\nyou can find a bit more description of the memory error in event viewer . to access it , click start , type event in the search box , and then click the event viewer icon . in the event viewer window , select system and then under the source column look for memorydiagnosticsresults and event id 1102 . double - click it to open up an event properties dialog similar to the one in figure f .\nthe burst length indicates the number of address spaces occupied by burst addresses among all of the address spaces of a memory . for example , in the case that the number of all of address bits is \u201c6\u201d , the number of address spaces is \u201c64\u201d . further , in the case that the number of burst address bits is \u201c2\u201d among the \u201c6\u201d , the number of burst address spaces is \u201c4\u201d and the burst length is \u201c4\u201d .\n4 . you start to notice files becoming corrupt on your system . if you\u2019re working with a lot with certain files and notice that they are not saving properly or the data is being corrupted , you can narrow it down to the hard drive or memory . if you\u2019ve run diagnostics on the hard drive and all is fine , then these read / write errors can be caused when parts of the file are stored in ram .\ni thoroughly enjoyed the evening , especially the second half of the evening , where attendees were encouraged to actually do some testing . now , as the sessions are aimed at people new to testing as well as people looking to expand their testing knowledge , the attendees are a combination of students and mentors . i was attending as a mentor . so the testing exercise was arranged so that 3 students were paired with a mentor . my first student was demetra cucueanu , a budding new tester , proving to all that it\u2019s never to late to try a new career . demetra is actively seeking a junior testing position . the second was bhagya mudiyanselage and the third was joe mcguinness ."]}

scale study of contact - center and self - service interactions , however , finds that what customers really want ( but rarely get ) is just a satisfactory solution to their service issue .\na distillation of more than 166 years , 59 , 000 issues and billions of words drawn from the new york times\u2019s archives and electronic database , the company\u2019s records and various histories of the paper and its people .\nto help when starting a company , it\u2019s a good idea to get as much advice as you can . talk to people you know who\u2019ve started companies or who advise business owners , eg accountants and business mentors .\ncheck your company policies . most employee manuals will have procedures for reporting harassment . follow them as closely as possible , barnes says . however , if you feel as though reporting the incident to the person indicated is going to be a problem\u2013for example , if you\u2019re supposed to report to your supervisor when he is the one harassing you\u2013find a senior ally in the company who can help you get your message to the right people , she says .\nif you want to buy shares of companies which are going to announce bonus issues , hold on . one should not buy purely on the basis of expected bonus shares unless one is certain about the fundamentals of the company .\nowner and operator a retail outlet offering men ' s clothing and apparel . the company offers men ' s formal shirts , clothes , apparel , trousers and other accessories that they distribute via their retail stores across the states .\nconventionally , companies have sought funds from foreign investors after they have tapped the domestic banks and other financial institutions . in the case of manappuram , the order was upended . because the domestic banks were uncomfortable lending to nbfcs , especially one with an untested business model focused on gold loans , the company went out of india and roped in the foreign players first . once they were persuaded , the domestic players became more confident about lending to the company .\na historical importance is attached to the issuance of one hundred shares . limited companies were mandated to include authorised share capital in their articles before the companies act of 2006 was introduced . this was the determinant of stamp duty a company was required to pay after incorporation ; the preference was with one hundred shares limit because the stamp duty payment was restricted , even though it still supported the issuance of a reasonable amount of shares during or after the formation of the company .\nfor some companies , that imperative takes the form of an intense rivalry . our september issue highlights some of the more recent rivalries to emerge , from vice versus cnn to xiaomi versus apple . here we examine some of the most influential business rivalries of the late 20th century , along with their lessons for today\u2019s corporate leaders .\nhowever , not all companies that pursue rights offerings are in financial trouble . even companies with clean balance sheets may use rights issues to raise extra capital to fund expenditures designed to expand the company ' s business , such as acquisitions or opening new facilities for manufacturing or sales . if the company is using the extra capital to fund expansion , it can eventually lead to increased capital gains for shareholders despite the dilution of the outstanding shares as a result of the rights offering .\nas for which is the victor in this contest : ups is well - positioned and remains dominant , worth $ 94 billion to fedex\u2019s $ 51 billion . but the company that manages to secure a foothold in international markets stands to win big .\nbut until the date at which the new shares can be purchased , shareholders may trade the rights on the market the same way that they would trade ordinary shares . the rights issued to a shareholder have value , thus compensating current shareholders for the future dilution of their existing shares ' value . dilution occurs because a rights offering spreads a company\u2019s net profit over a wider number of shares . thus , the company\u2019s earnings per share , or eps , decreases as the allocated earnings result in share dilution .\narthur ochs sulzberger , publisher since 1963 , steps down at age 65 . the job passes to his son , arthur sulzberger jr . , 40 . ( the elder mr . sulzberger remains chairman of the new york times company until october 1997 . )\ninnovative approach to raising finance : for a non banking financial company ( nbfc ) , raising funds was a big challenge in the nineties . in the aftermath of the crb scam of 1997 , raising deposits from the public was difficult and banks were not comfortable with lending to nbfcs in general . moreover , manappuram\u2019s foray into gold loans was untested as a business model . growth was slow in the initial days . the picture was to change only after the company hit upon unconventional ways to raise funds .\nthis type of share gives shareholders the opportunity to receive a percentage of firm profits as dividend before the shareholders from other classes . also , if the company gets wound up , this share type will receive preferential treatment in the disbursement of the remaining capital .\nnext month , in celebration of these achievements and its 125th anniversary , national geographic magazine will publish \u201cthe photography issue\u201d and launch two new online platforms highlighting the power of photography : a new photo blog , proof , and a photo -

up to last year\u2019s holiday shopping season , pilots who work for amazon\u2019s prime air shipping contractors went on strike , demanding hiring increases to reduce their workload . it\u2019s no wonder that the blistering 2015 new york times article about bruising work environments at amazon remains in the popular consciousness .\nwhile all the leading institutional investors use capitaline databases , capital market magazine gives access to the databases to individual investors through corporate scoreboard . besides stock market and company -

site is\ncontagious and can spread through the organization [ until ] the nature of the organizational facility changes from having distributed individuals and groups to having a distributed workforce . what defines this tipping point is the lack of enough physically present co -

largest accounting fraud in history . it filed for bankruptcy in 2002 , and sold to verizon for $ 7 . 6 billion in 2005 .\nwe believe that the superior performance of ces in the service environment derives from two factors : its ability to capture customer impressions at the transactional level ( as opposed to nps , which captures more - holistic impressions of a company ) and its ability to capture negative experiences as well as positive ones .\nall the while , gm was steadily gaining market share . in 1931 , the younger rival unseated ford as the world\u2019s leading car manufacturer\u2013and maintained the dominance for the next eight decades . as the ad for one of gm\u2019s chevy trucks would say : the company\u2019s sales were \u201clike a rock . \u201d the company went through a shaky period starting in 2008 , when it dropped to number two in the sales rankings and subsequently filed for bankruptcy . but by 2011 , after shedding brands saturn , pontiac , and hummer\u2013and costing u . s . taxpayers $ 12 billion in bailout funds\u2013gm was back in fighting form .\ntwo critical findings emerged that should affect every company\u2019s customer service strategy . first , delighting customers doesn\u2019t build loyalty ; reducing their effort\u2014the work they must do to get their problem solved\u2014does . second , acting deliberately on this insight can help improve customer service , reduce customer service costs , and decrease customer churn .\nan australian telecommunications provider eliminated all productivity metrics from its frontline reps\u2019 performance scorecards . although handle time increased slightly , repeat calls fell by 58 % . today the company evaluates its reps solely on the basis of short , direct interviews with customers , essentially asking them if the service they received met their needs .\nthe manappuram foundation has set up the manappuram academy for professional education to impart free coaching for professional courses like ca / cs / icwa , to bright students from low income households . the company was honoured with a ' special commendation ' at the golden peacock awards for corporate social responsibility for the year 2014 .\ndress for success / the workplace . in june , united rentals was named the \u201ccompany partner of the year\u201d by the workplace , which is a nonprofit that educates , trains , and helps place individuals in the workplace . we were nominated by dress for success of fairfield county , for our contributions in 2014 .\none share often represents 1 percent , so companies limited by shares often issue one hundred shares . this minimises financial liability of a shareholder and makes it easy to know how much of the business is owned by a particular shareholder and how much control such a person can have . since only a few people buy a large chunk of the shares , more capital can be raised as opposed to selling smaller portions to so many people .\nhe has been helping unsw australian graduate school of management with its executive mba program , taking an active part in its\nlive venture\nchallenge , where the students have to analyse a start -

( for details , see the sidebar \u201cintroducing the customer effort score . \u201d )\nbezos\u2019s strategy of continuous evolution has allowed the company to experiment in adjacent areas\u2014and then build them into franchises . the website that once sold only books now lets anyone set up a storefront and sell just about anything . the warehouse and logistics capabilities that amazon built to sort , pack , and ship those books are available , for a price , to any seller . amazon web services , which grew out of the company\u2019s own e - commerce infrastructure needs , has become a $ 13 billion business that not only powers the likes of airbnb and netflix , but stores your kindle e - book library and makes it possible for alexa to tell you whether or not you\u2019ll need an umbrella today .\nthe rivalry between mcdonald\u2019s and burger king used to come down to one thing : the hamburger . which company\u2019s burger was cheaper ? better tasting ? more convenient ? during the \u201950s and \u201960s , the golden age of car culture and fast food , the burger chains\u2019 menus told a story of moves and counter - moves in their pursuit of consumers\u2019 loyalty .\nsole traders are people who start in business or contracting on their own , without registering as a company . many small business owners , contractors and self - employed people begin as sole traders . it\u2019s the cheapest and easiest option , and may appeal to you if you want to make a living by following your passion , or to work as a contractor ."]}

mail alerts to the firewall manager .\nonce files are retrieved and stored , firewall analyzer runs a risk analysis based on pci compliance , nist , sans top 20 and vendor best practices . in addition , we found that we could create custom analysis reports . selecting the firewall reports option displays charts and a connectivity diagram summarizing changes , findings , policy optimization , rule reordering , firewall information and a firewall connectivity diagram . choosing the risks option displays the findings with risk codes and details about the risk with suggestions and diagrams on how to deal with it .\nthe optimization policy feature provides the rules cleanup and reordering tools . the cleanup report lists any rules that need correction and their number of instances . some rule types flagged in a cleanup report are labeled as unused , covered , redundant , disabled , and rules with a non - compliant name . a similar list is provided for object cleanup . the rule reordering report gave us information on how to improve a rule and how much the rule can be improved . you can access a detailed report that tells you how to make the changes .\nwith redseal network advisor 4 . 1 and vulnerability advisor 4 . 1 , you can automate the process of analyzing , identifying , quantifying and mitigating risk and vulnerabilities in complex networks . network advisor uses plugins to import configuration files from each supported device . we liked that we could create a unified network topology map with a best practices analysis and solutions for remediation after we imported risk and vulnerability analyses .\nwe installed red seal software on our dell server running windows xp . once the server is installed and started , the client is installed . after we logged in with the client application , we could access the server that had a feature - rich gui dashboard .\nboth network advisor and vulnerability advisor require importing router , switch and firewall configuration files to the database . the analytical engine processes information that includes host names , ip addresses , subnet masks and device interfaces . analysis results appear in the form of graphical displays , reports , maps and charts detailing the current status and configuration of the network . plugins are available for a wide range of products from cisco , check point , juniper and dozens of others .\nafter device configuration files are imported into the redseal advisor , the files were checked against redseal ' s best practices database . we could drill down to locate the offending policy by double - clicking on a selected row . any changes to hosts and devices could be analyzed and reported with the view changes application .\nwe accomplished rule usage analysis and reordering by using redseal ' s custom best practice check feature . using a regular expression tool , we could search the configuration files and use the available plugin associated with the device . since configuration files can be edited , we performed what - if analysis to determine if changes to a rule would adversely affect the network .\nredseal provides preconfigured compliance management analysis reports . we could add and schedule custom reports to run at specific times . we could analyze and report on how well our network was configured compared to best practice checks , and what assets were exposed to the internet .\nwe liked how redseal ' s interface for running vulnerability analysis presents a topology map of the network , offering a graphical method for analyzing network vulnerabilities . arrows point from the source of the threat to the assets at risk . the map states highly detailed information quantifying the risk , based on the common vulnerability scoring system ( cvss ) . this is an important feature for saving time and preventing attacks on valuable assets . we were impressed with seeing the threats at a high level and drilling down into the report to explore the details . the topology map feature provides a similar method for running the pre - defined pci - dss analysis on targeted network segments . we could select a network segment and run an analysis report on it with one mouse click .\nredseal integrates their product with several well known vulnerability scanners , such as qualys , ncircle and mcafee , to provide vulnerability and risk metrics . we recommend this product for quantifying risk and vulnerabilities and to allocate resources based on asset value .\nfiremon from secure passage manages firewalls by reporting on changes to the firewall policy , checking unused rules and reporting how traffic flows through rules . compliance is safe guarded by the program ' s automated analysis of compliance guidelines such as payment card industry ( pci ) and national security agency ( nsa ) .\nthe firemon architecture includes an application server , data collector and a graphical user interface ( gui ) . the application server tracked the data collected , performed real - time analysis on transactions and device configuration and generated scheduled reports . the data collector is a firemon application running on an appliance or pc to monitor and collect data from firewalls , switches and routers , and any other security devices on the network .\nafter installing the firemon management client on windows vista , which was a quick process , we could log into the firemon server with a user name , password , ip address and port number to bring up the management console .\nfiremon offers a wizard for importing check point , cisco , f5 , juniper , nokia and mcafee / secure computing devices . once the entries are made to the wizard , all the associated firewalls , management servers and log servers are auto - discovered and added automatically in sequence .\nfiremon provides several tools for analyzing firewall , router and switch rules and policies . we used the firewall traffic flow analysis tool to produce a report that zeros in on\nany\nrules configured on firewalls in a large network . we could fine tune the firewall rules by reducing or eliminating overly permissive\nany\nrules and large complicated ones .\nwe looked at some of the reports for rule policy management . we generated firemon ' s rule recommendation report that offers analyzing issues , such as a request for https traffic from source and destination addresses . the report showed us if a policy already existed for the requested access . at the bottom , the report listed a table of each policy tested and the source and destination routes involved . you can get the report in http , pdf and xml format .\nwe examined the rule comparison feature that analyzes the changes to a device ' s policy rule changes made over time . we saw color - coded icons for change , inserted , deleted and the same . you can revert back to a known good state using this report , which helps with institutional knowledge transfer .\nsecure passage has an interface that is well organized with features that are easy to navigate . we saw that some of the analysis and report wizards , such as the rule recommendation report , displayed helpful examples showing how to set parameters . the firemon traffic flow analysis feature is a handy tool for determining how to eliminate audit - triggering firewall any rules . we could print a logically organized report detailing the traffic flow from source to destination that revealed the ports and services actually used . a firewall administrator can create a more secure rule to eliminate the any rule using this report .\nalthough the firemon rule comparison analysis report was confusing at first with its color - coded parameters that indicated changes , we feel that firemon has excellent analysis features for optimizing rules and creating audit trails . this product should be considered a good firewall management solution for the enterprise environment .\nthe skybox risk view platform is comprised of two products : the skybox secure 4 . 5 for risk exposure and security profile analysis , and threat alert management , and skybox assure that manages the firewall and performs network compliance auditing . the platform application is scalable and is made of the skybox view server , skybox view collector , skybox view manager and skybox view dictionary . the dictionary is the database for definitions and profiles for vulnerabilities , threats , worms and network security policies .\nskybox uses vulnerability scanners and analysis to categorize , quantify and prioritize threats to the network . using the skybox assure software suite , we could manage network policy validations , regulatory compliance audits and network device changes . with the automation features provided , we could run audit checks on thousands of firewall rule - bases .\nwe found that the install documentation for skybox was excellent . the user manuals and tutorials are automatically loaded onto the c : drive .\nskybox provides several methods to import device configuration files into the skybox view database . you can use the add device wizard application that has a collect feature to import the configuration files directly from the device . there are also several ways to automate the configuration collection process . if configuration data is located in a database or file repository , the data can be directly imported into skybox view . you need additional skybox view collectors if you want to directly import configuration files on segmented networks .\nwe used the operational console to create tasks using the new task wizard and selecting a task type . there is a convenient option for scheduling collection that can be set for a specific hour , or to be run daily , weekly , monthly or yearly . we could also program the task wizard to schedule data import from file repositories with configuration files .\nwe could create task sequences to run the tasks at a scheduled time . task sequences have exit codes so that if a task fails , any other tasks set to import configurations , run audits and change management will not be blocked .\nwe saw that apis were also available to facilitate integration with large third party management tools , such as opsware , to obtain stored configuration files .\nonce the configuration files are loaded into skybox view , the compliance auditor in skybox view assure uses its predefined best - practice access policy to analyze the firewall policies . the best practice policies are compared with the device configuration rules and policies to display security violations and configuration errors . we used the policy compliance report table to view violated rules , access compliance and rule compliance . in the case of an access compliance report failure , the rule violation is highlighted and detailed information about the violation is presented .\nwe tested the risk exposure analyzer that simulates potential attack and access scenarios . after skybox secure builds a virtual map of the security model , a business impact analysis is created for what - if attack scenarios . these scenarios are based on malicious code and human attackers . using the analyzer , we saw a graphical flow chart diagram displaying the step - by - step process taken by the attacker and the network access path available for the attack .\nresults of the attack are used to calculate the business impact of a security breach in terms of confidentiality , integrity and availability . skybox secure can import business - impact rules and regulations to classify assets and determine an accurate risk assessment metric . we saw that they also had predefined regulation templates .\nrule - usage analysis requires three to 12 months of information to obtain a valid rule use analysis report . shadowing and redundancy analysis can be run as soon as the configuration information for the network devices is imported and the network model is built .\nwe used the access analyzer feature in skybox view assure to answer questions about network access . it can be used for what - if model test scenarios and for connectivity analysis on live networks . queries can be created for access within a firewall and for networks .\nfor tracking changes , we used the change tracking option in skybox view assure by selecting it under the expanded device object icon in the gui . when data is collected periodically to update network models , you can display and analyze comparisons between acl rules , routing rules and network interface changes . we saw that you could keep records of network and firewall changes for compliance recordkeeping . what - if modeling changes can be made as firewall rules in the model and then compared with the actual firewall rules .\nskybox view assure offers change control and workflow with a ticketing system . while the firewall compliance auditor supports access change tickets , the network compliance auditor supports both access change and policy violation tickets . we were impressed with the modeling capabilities of the skybox view firewall assurance product . we could simultaneously store three models of the network for running comparison analyses . a side - by - side analysis report makes it effortless to see the changes between two versions of the same network model .\nskybox view risk exposure analyzer presents features to organize the network based on business units and assets . we obtained network vulnerability data from second party vulnerability scanners such as nessus and qualys . using attack scenario options , we generated detailed reports on vulnerabilities uncovered by the simulation . although we did not see a predefined vulnerability test suite for running attack situations , the risk exposure analyzer is a valuable asset when combined with the modeling capabilities of view firewall assurance . vulnerabilities could be tested on a network model before deploying any equipment .\nwith securetrack from tufin , you can manage and audit firewalls , routers and switches , plus access an incorporated view of firewalls and other devices in your network . securetrack supplies automated reporting of risk and audit status , monitors firewall operating systems and supports security compliance standards .\nsince the tufin t - 500 appliance has the tufinos and securetrack pre - installed , the install process was conducted on a vmware appliance . installation was quick , with no problem . after we saved the settings , the login screen appeared and we could access the tufin securetrack server .\nthe screen has icons for policy change reports , rule usage statistics , security risk reports and best practices audit . users can choose to be notified immediately of policy changes and to receive weekly reports .\ntufin securetrack categorizes the devices it can monitor as devices , plugins and firewall os monitoring . plugins are preinstalled for blue coat proxysg , f5 big ip and linux iptables we also could select plugins for devices from check point , cisco , juniper , fortinet , blue coat , f5 and others . the tab for firewall os monitoring is a separately licensed feature for extending securetrack to use snmp for device changes , in addition to monitoring .\noptimization and cleanup is a big part of securetrack ' s capabilities . with the goal of ensuring the rule base is not in violation of corporate and regulatory compliance , securetrack continually monitors firewalls , routers and switches . the securetrack compare feature lists the number of recent revisions next to the device name . new revision alerts appear when revisions are generated . the revision list can be filtered based on 10 attributes .\nwe used securetrack analyzer to identify overlapping and redundant rules . to access predefined best practice policies that are stored in the securetrack database , we used the audit and compliance option . there are best practice checks for all firewalls and specific firewalls such as check point . securetrack also offers predefined policy analysis audits for pci - dss compliance . you can also set up alerts to be sent when security policy rule changes are made .\nwe found the browser dashboard to be crisp and well laid out . we liked the compare analysis option for comparing firewall revisions and maintaining the audit trail . users familiar with the interfaces and screen presentations of major firewall vendors will appreciate this feature .\ncustom firewall audits were created with the securetrack audit wizard for detailed answers on compliance policies . an impressive list of predefined audit templates can be selected with a wizard , thereby saving time . there is also a predefined pci - dss audit analysis feature used to create reports for audit policy with a summary detailing the compliance verification . we liked the security trend analysis reports with charts , graphs and a summary table displaying risk scoring . tufin does not base the scores on the cvss as is common practice with similar products . we did find securetrack to be a good product for auditing and maintaining compliance with best practices based on industry and corporate policies .\nsmithers is a network world test alliance partner and ceo of miercom , a testing lab and network consultancy . he can be reached at rsmithers @ miercom . com .\nread more about wide area network in network world ' s wide area network section .\nsunny days spell more computing power for cognia uk call recording and analysis company cognia has said it is able to cut energy and costs by using weather data to predict when to scale up to support demand .\nmanpowergroup predicts tripling of hirings in telecoms and media the hiring intentions in the telecoms and media sector have more than tripled for this quarter according to manpowergroup , with superfast broadband and 4g deployments driving the c ( . . . )\njust wave docomo wearable sim for network access instead of burying them in phones , japanese mobile carrier ntt docomo wants people to start wearing their sim cards .\nnetflix won ' t budge in dispute with verizon over video quality netflix defended its error messages to customers that blamed verizon communications ' network , despite a cease -

functional operations , and minimize disconnects between security and network operations that can lead to non - compliant firewall configurations across the enterprise .\nintegrate security workflow with networking and it ticketing systems . most of the firewall management vendors are integrating with it job ticket systems to automate the processing , review / approval , and compliance auditing associated with changes to firewalls . the integration with job ticketing systems provides a common system for cross functional cooperation and visibility of security operations to senior management , without having to merge reports from separate security systems .\nthis trend of enhancing operations is also appearing in other security segments . palo alto networks is one example of this dynamic in action - its growth is as attributable to real - time application intelligence of what the business is really running as it is to the security features of its firewall and vpn functions . enterprises now see firewall rules management products as operational efficiency tools as well as security tools , something that i expect to hear from other security practitioners .\neric ogren is the principal analyst of the ogren group . the ogren group has no financial interests in any of the companies mentioned in this post .\nwhat are you doing to accelerate it agility ? learn about the it model that serves as a catalyst for digital transformation .\nunlock the potential of your data . how well are you harnessing information to improve business outcomes ? a new cio playbook will help .\nfor inquiries related to this message please contact support . for sales inquiries , please visit urltoken\nif you believe this to be in error , please confirm below that you are not a robot by clicking\ni ' m not a robot\nbelow .\nplease make sure your browser supports javascript and cookies and that you are not blocking them from loading . for more information you can review the terms of service and cookie policy .\nthe integration provides linkage between the two processes . so , for example , as firewall analyzer identifies rules that should be created , modified or removed , a ticket is opened in fireflow . both products are available separately , as well .\nthe integration is two -

drainer and irrigation will be used where , when and if appropriate . the start and finish will be close to the stables . the course runs clockwise and will again incorporate some of bramham park\u2019s wonderful features . ian stark , along with course - builder david evans - have once again come up with some great plans to ensure an exciting and true three - star test .\n\u201cthis win was unplanned but i wanted to be competitive , \u201d admitted 40 - year - old yoshi . \u201cmy horse is so careful and can sometimes jump too high , wasting time . i didn\u2019t ride as well as i wanted to today as i was a bit backwards \u2014 i wanted to be more flowing \u2014 but i\u2019m so happy and this is the biggest win of my career . \u201d\nthe cross - country phase proved costly for almost the entire field of riders with rain battering the cci * * * course throughout the day , meaning many withdrew and other contenders experienced difficulties . 33 horses started the course , richard jones was injured meaning he couldn\u2019t complete and french rider sebastien cavaillon , is undergoing operations to mend damage to his pelvic . his horse , sarah d\u2019argouges , was uninjured .\nafter returning home to fulfil my commitments to the belvoir on saturday i returned to bramham on sunday morning to complete the main cci3 * eventing competitions . the main ring is dedicated to show jumping for the day with the u25 and senior competition final phase jumping rounds being interspersed with national show jumping competitions , including the wetherby skips grand prix to close the event in style .\nall cci horses must stable onsite . stabling \u00a3160 per horse . stabling for cic horses - 1 night \u00a360 , 2 nights \u00a3100 , 3 nights or more \u00a3160 . all prices include vat . stabling for non - competition horses will only be available if space allows . stabling refunds - 100 % refund prior to ballot date , from ballot date until 25th may - no refund unless replaced from waitlist , after 25th may - no refund .\nin order to get a decent selection of both landscape and portrait images of each rider i chose to shoot from inside the ring , between the fences . this requires a good understanding of the course and timely movements from fence to fence so as not to ever be in the rider\u2019s or horse\u2019s line of sight . course designers and judges can always be consulted if you are not sure where you should stand , and they will be quick to move you if they don\u2019t think you are working safely .\nshe jumped a clear round on christopher stone\u2019s chico bella p to move up from second overnight .\n\u201cquicklook was slightly distracted by someone shouting \u2014 it\u2019s very unlike her to have a fence and she certainly said sorry all the way round , she wasn\u2019t going to touch another one , \u201d said gemma . \u201cchico bella p was amazing , she\u2019s such a trier .\nthe class was an important selection trial for the british team for the rio 2016 olympics and eight of the top 10 placings went to the home side . but the showjumping shuffled the order significantly .\nholly woodhead was the leader after yesterday\u2019s cross - country , but she and dhi lupison had three down today and dropped to eighth .\na clear round also elevated tina cook one place to second with elisabeth murdoch\u2019s billy the red .\n\u201che\u2019s been progressing all year , \u201d said tina . \u201ci think a lot of him and i\u2019m thrilled to be second . \u201d\npippa funnell moved up five places to take third with a fault - free performance from carol toliver\u2019s billy the biz .\nkitty king ( ceylor lan ) rose from sixth to fourth with a single time - fault , while new zealand\u2019s tim price had two time - penalties to move up from seventh to fifth with bango .\nnicola wilson\u2019s clear on one two many elevated her three places to sixth and it was the same story for william fox -

point penalty for falling foul of the new flag rule over her cross - country test on quicklook v .\nthe penalty threatened to dump tattersall from first to 30th , but the rider was successful in her appeal , leaving her 1 . 7 penalty points ahead of birch heading into the showjumping finale .\n\u201cit\u2019s the first rail she\u2019s ever had down at a three -

columbia ) is increasing its chiller plant performance\u2013 and reaping big savings \u2013 with the use of weather forecast - based analytics . the hospital saved approximately $ 6 . 5 million from may i , 2010 through may 31 , 2015 compared to its baseline chiller plant performance ( on average , $ 1 . 3 million a year ) .\nstriving for continuous improvement in quality and operations distinguishes nyp , which is nationally recognized for the quality of its health care and for its environmental sustainability . in 2014 , nyp received the u . s . environmental protection agency ( epa ) energy star partner of the year - sustained excellence award for its long - term commitment to energy efficiency .\none of nyp - columbia\u2019s long - term energy initiatives is continuous improvement of its chiller plant operations . the 8 , 800 - ton central plant serving the 4 , 000 , 000 - sq - ft campus in new york city comprises seven york chillers \u2013 three 2 , 000 - ton steam - turbine - driven chillers , three 2 , 000 - ton electric - motor - drive chillers ( one with a variable - speed drive ) , and one 2 , 800 - ton steam - turbine - driven chiller \u2013 and fourteen 75 - hp cooling tower fans .\nbased on prior performance metrics , the predictive analysis models forecast the optimal sequence of equipment operation in conjunction with utility rates for chilled water plants , hot water , steam , and power generation .\nnyp - columbia chiller plant operators view a graphic matrix of the predictive analysis on a dedicated user web page at the service\u2019s operations center in new york city . the matrix presents the optimal chiller sequence and operations points by time of day and provides graphic alerts when plant efficiency drops below the target .\n\u201cpredictive analysis shows our tonnage based on the weather forecast for a given day , which helps us tremendously , \u201d said rawlins callender , chief / plant supervisor and facilities services management at new york presbyterian hospital . \u201cfor example , if the matrix shows that we will stay within 4 , 000 tons for the day , there is no need to start our 2 , 800 - ton chiller ; as a result , we save energy . similarly , we see our minimum and maximum wet bulb and dry bulb temperatures for the day , which enables us to effectively stage our cooling towers . this is a much clearer and sharper way to operate . \u201d\nin 2015 , optimization of chiller plant sequencing using predictive analysis yielded approximately $ 37 , 000 in savings above existing savings \u201cwhat if\u201d analyses . this results in better optimization of plant equipment and greater energy savings from continuous remote energy monitoring and oversight in 2014 . similarly , chilled water pump staging yielded approximately $ 49 , 000 in additional savings and cooling tower selection ( based on total chilled water flow / chiller tonnage ) staging saved another $ 21 , 000 \u2013 all with no capital outlay .\noperators also receive real - time alerts when plant performance decreases , enabling them to stage down chiller equipment as outdoor temperature drops . this is advantageous during the \u201cshoulder months\u201d of april , may , october , and november . at nyp - columbia , every hour that the plant is not operating at low loads during these months represents approximately $ 145 in additional savings . maximizing on these temperatures represented approximately $ 23 , 000 ( 157 hours ) saved through december 2015 .\nbased on actual operating data , the models provide accurate , timely forecasts of future energy demands , greatly increasing the accuracy of \u201cwhat if\u201d analyses . this results in better optimization of plant equipment and greater energy savings .\neven more important , said rawlins callender , predictive analysis enables operators to maintain a consistent comfort level for nyp\u2019s patients . \u201cin every aspect of care ; \u2019 he said , \u201cnyp puts patients first . \u201d\nthe greatest energy savings available to larger airports can be generated from a facility\u2019s existing chiller plant operation , where even small tweaks can result in significant improvements . today\u2019s web - based monitoring systems can be an effective tool for the analysis of large chiller plants and district cooling systems . built on open standards , they offer networked solutions that collect and format data in real - time and defined timeframe increments , monitor operations and equipment errors , and deliver oversight via web - based alerts and alarms . based on the information generated , engineers are able to track performance and remedy any malfunction in order to optimize energy efficiencies .\nthe monitoring process starts with an initial analysis of chiller plant operations . in most cases , industrial measurement devices are installed and existing equipment tested for accuracy . the data from the various systems is pulled together in one platform with data routed to an automation system and pushed to the web every five minutes via ftp . once all of the accurate data collection is complete , an evaluation is done to understand how all chiller plant components are working and to determine the most efficient method of operating the plant .\nonce the initial reconfigurations have been achieved , the web interface enables continuous remote monitoring of a plant to ensure optimum operation is maintained on a continuous basis . monthly reports are submitted to the airport\u2019s operating team suggesting necessary system enhancements or improvements .\nwith new airport facilities , generating ongoing energy savings can be achieved through a comprehensive monitoring - based commissioning ( mbcx ) process to ensure that all building systems remain \u201cin tune . \u201d it is common knowledge that buildings rarely perform as intended . that\u2019s why mbcx is beginning to emerge as an important new approach to keep buildings operating at maximum energy efficiency . complementing other energy savings strategies , it refers to the \u201csoft\u201d process of verifying performance and design intent and correcting deficiencies through a continuous web - based monitoring program .\nalready there is plenty of anecdotal evidence out there showing the value of monitoring - based commissioning in identifying savings opportunities that would not otherwise have been found . a recent study prepared for the california energy commission by lawrence berkeley national laboratory stated : \u201con a portfolio basis we find mbcx to be a highly cost - effective means of obtaining significant portfolio / program - level energy savings across a variety of building types . mbcx helped identify a very wide range of deficiencies . anecdotal evidence shows the value of monitoring in identifying savings opportunities that would not otherwise have been identified . \u201d\nby adding utility rates to the equation , the team was able to determine the real - time cost to operate the chiller plant . an analysis of chiller plant performance under a variety of operating scenarios and load conditions was performed , leading to the implementation of several no - cost energy conservation measures . these included : plant equipment sequencing ; providing an ongoing energy balance between the gas consumption , steam production , and chilled water production ; recommissioning and reprogramming sequences on the hot gas bypass and inlet guide vanes of the existing chillers ; reconfiguring water treatment pumping schedule to reduce pumping kw ; and sequencing chilled water pumps based on needed flow thresholds .\nenergy conservation measures for the first quarter of 2011 showed verified savings of over $ 200 , 000 . based on the plant load required during the remaining nine months of the year , annual energy savings are expected to eclipse $ 1 million with a payback on the project of 1 . 5 years .\nfor airports looking to get a better handle on their existing energy costs and new facilities seeking to maximize their investment in sophisticated chiller equipment and building automation system technologies , remote energy monitoring offers a cost effective means of realizing greater energy efficiencies and lowering operating costs over the life cycle of a facility . monitoring offers an important risk - management strategy leading to verifiable and durable energy demand reductions for any size airport .\nactive learning classroom , california institute for men , dick & fritsche design group , eastern u . s . , sd crane builders\nthe project is being performed as part of the pse & g hospital efficiency program , a $ 129 million carbon abatement initiative that will fund installation of energy conservation measures at about 35 hospitals in the utility\u2019s service territory . pse & g provides an investment -

- a former party ally - - lashed out , accusing him of a lack of attention to the economy and structural reforms that italy needs . the prime minister survived three votes of confidence in parliament during 2010 and 2011 , winning one by just three votes , but his authority continued to ebb .\neconomists said berlusconi commanded neither sufficient political authority to push through spending cuts nor the moral high ground to squeeze more taxes out of italians while he faced trial on various charges . other european leaders criticized him for failing to implement economic reform with sufficient urgency .\nmeanwhile , berlusconi faced a serious personal challenge with charges of sex with an underage nightclub dancer and abuse of power .\nberlusconi had sex 13 times with underage dancer karima el mahroug , nicknamed\nruby the heart - stealer ,\nsay prosecutors who allege the prime minister abused his position when he intervened in may 2010 to get her released from the jail where she was being held on charges of theft . el mahroug has said she never had sex with berlusconi and that she lied to him about her age , telling him she was 24 .\nin september 2011 , prosecutors submitted transcripts of approximately 100 , 000 pages of wiretaps - - from 2008 and 2009 - - to a court in bari . the prosecutors have accused eight people of paying young women to attend so - called\nbunga bunga\nparties at berlusconi ' s home .\nberlusconi denied the charges and accused prosecutors of conspiring against him in a left - wing plot .\ncommunism never changes in italy . there are still people who use the penal code as a weapon in their ideological battles ,\nhe said earlier this year .\nbut , according to the transcripts of the calls , berlusconi made several controversial remarks , vowing at one point to leave italy , which he described as a\ns * * * * y country\nthat\nsickened\nhim . when confronted with these remarks , berlusconi laughed off this and other gaffes .\n\u00a9 2018 cable news network . turner broadcasting system , inc . all rights reserved . cnn sans \u2122 & \u00a9 2016 cable news network .\non monday , with italy ' s economic stability still uncertain , berlusconi , 75 , denied rumours that he was preparing to resign , which immediately reversed the brief recovery in stock and government bond markets . with yet another confidence vote likely to come in the next two weeks , the post takes a look back at berlusconi ' s long and embattled career as media magnate and politician .\nsilvio berlusconi has been elected prime minister of italy three times in the last 20 years , and although he also lost two elections to his left - wing rival romano prodi , the billionaire businessman has managed to lead the longest - running post - second world war government in italian history ( from 2001 - 2006 ) and , in the last three years , survive 51 votes of confidence . despite his winning record , though , berlusconi is never far from controversy ."]}

linear ? \u2026 well in a sense of wysiwyg yes , it ' s non - linear since you set your color swatch to color you see on monitor and you want to have the same color in final picture if that setting is 1 , then the color you see on monitor is not the color represented by numerical values set on the color parameter , since monitor has gamma 2 . 2 and therefore changes that color , basically it ' s the same as for textures . so if you set color settings to correct all outputs to 2 . 2 , then you will see the swatch with gamma 2 . 2 applied on top to compensate monitor , which keeps the value of the color parameter linear , because you see directly the color which is represented by numerical values edit : so if you are going to use linear workflow in houdini , set that setting to 2 . 2 ( or whatewer gamma is your monitor ) and keep all checkboxes checked , then the only concern is to make sure all your textures are linear or make them linear in the shader . and if you are not rendering to linear formats ( like exr or other floating point data ) , you can bake in the gamma 2 . 2 to your renders by adding vm _ gamma property to mantra rop , in that case you would need to make sure you are not having gamma set on mplay or render window since it will be already baked in\nwarning ! to get all of the features imdbpro offers , you must enable javascript .\nyou can share this page with

of 5cm , a sphere have a radius of 0 . 025 which makes it insanely tiny . is this going affect the lighting , texturing or rendering process , is it be advisable to treat 1 houdini unit as 1cm instead to work with bigger props within the viewport ? another doubt is shown inside the viewport , i highlighted 2 boxes on the construction grid is equals to 1 houdini unit - am i wrong ? please ! : ? eitht .\nas long as you don ' t have to deal with matching real world ' s focal lengths / disctances , or exchange data with other apps were it could matter , the only thing i know of that ' s more or less scale - dependend in h is : dops and pops this doesn ' t mean , you can ' t work with other scales , but it ' s much easier , because standard values ( e . g . gravity ) , parts of the tools shelf , \u2026 are optimized for 1 unit = 1 meter\nappreciate both your replies ! i ' m matching a still photo with local length . there ' s no dop / pop involved . is it safe to say i will not encounter any lighting / texturing problems if i use the default of 1 unit = 1 metre ? eitht .\nrob , if you are willing to answer another question\u2026 all along i de - gamma by setting 0 . 455 gamma to my texture images in photoshop , is this the proper way or do one need other editing softwares to perform this task ? thanks in advance ! eitht .\ni think the best you can do is convert your files to rat files and you can specify gamma of the texture while converting it , therefore you will have correct linear rat files you can directly use in all shaders , so no need for other software other thing you can do instead of converting is append power vop after each srgb texture in shader and set it to 2 . 2 which has the same effect as setting gamma to 0 . 45 ( rat files might be better though ) and of course don ' t forget to have linear color swatches as well , but this is handled automatically if you have edit / color settings / color correction set to 2 . 2 and checked everything\ni strip out the gamma in the shader . ive found it will do 99 % of the time rob\ntamte of course don ' t forget to have linear color swatches as well , but this is handled automatically if you have edit / color settings / color correction set to 2 . 2 and checked everything you referring to the color swatches in houdini ? by default , color correction / gamma was set to 1 . 0 and that makes it non - linear ? trying to wrap my head around the whole lwf , here ' s a screen - cap of what i did to the de - gamma . does the renders look like they were done correctly ? this is what i would work in the future , 1 ) de - gamma textures 2 ) render stuff out with linear color space in my mantra rop 3 ) render out my final composite with srgb color space in nuke anybody see a problem or am i on the right track now ? apologize for being long - winded ! eitht .\ni assume the color settings and swatches greatly affects how the virtual lights behave too huh ? : ? eitht .\nthey don ' t change rendering behaviour at all , it actually doesn ' t matter how you set that setting , mantra will still compute the same result given the same input values it just changes how you see the values , so setting all to 2 . 2 gets rid of monitor gamma correction so you see directly linear values and therefore set them correctly for mantra , which can give you much realistic result compared to feeding mantra with false values and expect correct result . but it ' s all the same principle , just search for linear workflow on the internet , plenty of info there , it ' s not specific to houdini btw , saving an image from mplay which has correction 2 . 2 doesn ' t automatically bake that correction into the files ( there is an other option for gamma when you chose to save the frame ) so you probably saved images ( in your updated post ) without baking the gamma in , because neither of them looks correct , but if you apply gamma 2 . 2 on the second one , it may be correct .\ni am understanding this much better now ! baking the gamma in is this checkbox in the screen - cap ? that ' s what i did when i saved both of the images above . i was told simply typing 2 . 2 into mplay doesn ' t bake it but setting this when saving out images bakes it . eitht .\nit just changes how you see the values , so setting all to 2 . 2 gets rid of monitor gamma correction so you see directly linear values and therefore set them correctly for mantra , which can give you much realistic result compared to feeding mantra with false values and expect correct result . i leave all that at default and strip the gamma from textures in the shader refer to my site ( urltoken [ circusmonkey . com . au ] . i then render and in the mplay display and set my gamma to 2 . 2 . what i see in mplay on my monitor it whats important and as long as there ' s lots of range . all my renders are linear and then in comp when you output your image you can set the gamma to 2 . 2 if you wish . as a standard though i always deliver linear for the render out of nuke . the next question i swear we will get is why are lights in houdini set using intensity and not stops ! rob\ni cant thank you guys enough for the explanations given so far ! and rob ' s prediction was spot on\u2026 i started a topic related to lights . : shock : will visit your webby , cheers ! eitht .\nwith the screen shot below

. but there are a handful of highlighter mistakes you ' re making that could be the reason you think this trend isn ' t working for you . don ' t worry , i fancy myself somewhat of a highlighter expert and can teach you exactly how to correct those mistakes .\nthe highlighting or strobing trend can make us look like glowy , gorgeous vampires in the sun \u2014 if we do it right . correctly done , a highlight on the face lifts , brightens , and improves the overall look of your skin and makeup . it ' s a great way to play up the features you love , while making your natural skin look more luminous and healthy .\nif the trend isn ' t working for you , you may have an application or formulation issue . a great highlight is made to look dewy , not oily . it grabs attention , instead of spotlighting something you ' d rather hide , like scar or uneven skin texture . but if you ' re having trouble achieving a perfect sparkling highlight that looks great on you , you may be making some serious highlighter mistakes .\ninstead of looking like a golden , mythical greek goddess you wanted to , you came out looking like a grease ball . no worries . to achieve a more\nglowing from within\nlook that doesn ' t play up natural oily skin , apply your highlighter after your foundation but before your blush . doing this will minimize the shine while still giving you an illuminated appearance .\nbeaming like a lighthouse ? if you ' re not into the extreme strobe look or just want to tone things down for a more daytime appropriate style , you can blend a drop of liquid highlight into your foundation . this is a great alternative if you prefer a\nless is more\nlook , or aren ' t into packing on the products .\nlight is great , but sparkles are best left for the ' 90s ( unless that ' s your jam ! ) . if your highlight looks like you just took a sparkly body roller to the face , you may be using a bad formulation . drugstore dupes for higher - end products can work , but sometimes there ' s a reason they come at a lower price point : the formulation is chalky , patchy , or sparkly . if this sounds like you , begin the hunt for a creamier powder . my favorite is , of course , jaclyn hill ' s champagne pop . it ' s extremely creamy , so it blends seamlessly into my skin instead of sitting on top of it like a bad frosting .\nface looking a bit larger than usual ? yes , strobing can actually make your face look wider if you are not highlighting in the correct spot . it ' s important to highlight the cheeks and above , never sweeping highlight below the cheekbone . remember : lifting up ( literally , anything like bronzer , eyeshadow , blush , or highlight ) will help the whole face look lifted , tighter , and younger . dragging product down lower than it needs to go on your face will only make you look more tired .\nyou tried the highlight trend , only to find every pore of your face visible ? you may be highlighting in the wrong area for you . i love the highlighted look , but i often get uneven texture on the tops of my cheeks and have to skip highlighting in that area . instead , i highlight my cupid ' s bow , nose , chin , and above the brow bone . if there ' s a particular area you have trouble in ( let ' s say , you hate the bridge of your nose ) then definitely skip highlighting that area . just because you can , doesn ' t mean you have to . find the highlight area that looks best on you and forget the rest !\nlooking more casper and less cara delevingne ? you may be using a highlight shade that is too light for your skin tone . there are all kinds of highlighter shades on the market , some with peachy , pinky , bronze , or white undertones . if you are pale skinned , pinks look gorgeous on you . if you are medium , peachy highlighters are beautiful . if you have dark skin , you should rock peach to bronze highlights . as long as the powder or cream is two to three shades lighter than your foundation , you are good to go .\nif you want to watch a highlight pro in action , check out jaclyn hill ' s makeup tutorial for how to properly use a highlighter cream .\ndo you know how many calls agent number 29 can handle in a given hour ? is this the only metric you need to measure ? in the era of the call center on demand , what metrics are you using to determine success ? if it\u2019s simply based on the number of calls , you may be headed for disaster .\na recent metrics piece highlighted the challenge of looking at success with just the number of calls mentality . the example given had much to do with \u201ci love lucy\u201d and a certain candy factory assembly line episode . whether you\u2019re old enough to remember the episode or not ( i am only old enough to remember the \u201cnick at night\u201d version , thank you very much ) the point is simple \u2013 they received too little training to maintain the expected level of activity .\nthe first few minutes on the chocolate line went fine , but as soon as the assembly line needed to increase in speed , there was no way our beloved characters could keep up . is this really the approach agents should take in the call center on demand ? if the goal is simply to complete a set number of calls within a set amount of time , will you truly achieve goals that mean anything ?\nin the lasagna example , i\u2019ve trained my daughter to do one lasagna well and then expected her to apply it across too many in less time . i didn\u2019t show her how to develop an assembly line to putting the lasagnas together or give her adequate time so that quality was maintained . the timing pressure also is sure to lead to a bigger mess in the kitchen and a stressed out teenager .\nthe call center on demand requires a different approach as well . while you do want to have guidelines for the number of calls you would like agents to complete , isn\u2019t the outcome of the call more important ? if they reach 20 prospects in a given hour and none of them turn into sales , were these 20 quality interactions ? if the same agent could instead reach five prospects in the hour and turn three of them into sales and two of them into potential leads to contact later , the outcome is so much better .\nthis is why it\u2019s important to get away from the calls per hour mentality . while the \u201cquality over quantity\u201d mantra may seem tired , it\u2019s still a valuable rule in the call center on demand . go for the metrics that drive the outcomes you need and not just activity or there soon won\u2019t be any activity to drive .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nif this is your first visit , be sure to check out the faq by clicking the link above . you may have to register

( alternatively , use the mcloth modifier . ) the easiest way to convert an object to a rigid body is by selecting the object and then choosing the appropriate rigid body type from the flyout on the massfx toolbar .\nas indicated by the path annotations at the start of this topic , you can apply the rigid body modifier to objects in any of several different ways . when applying the modifier to more than one object at a time , using the animation menu or massfx toolbar method results in a separate modifier per object . however , choosing the modifier from the modifier list results in an instanced modifier on each object . to edit the instanced modifier , you can select any object to which it is applied , and the changes will affect all instances of the modifier .\nwith non - instanced modifiers , the modify panel rollouts for the rigid body modifier are available for only one object at a time ; if multiple rigid bodies are selected , the rollouts do not appear . however , you can edit multiple selected rigid bodies on the\nof the massfx tools dialog . most of the editor controls are the same as those on the modify panel .\nthe modifier stack for rigid bodies provides access to visualization of a number of settings that affect the simulation . when a sub - object level is active , you can change how the simulation begins and proceeds by transforming the respective gizmo .\nthis level shows a visualization of the axis and direction of the initial spin for the rigid body . use the rotate tool to change the axis .\nthis level shows a visualization of the location of the center of mass for the rigid body . use the move tool to change the location .\nthis level lets you adjust the position and rotation of a physical shape for the rigid body . highlight the physical shape to transform in the list on the physical shapes rollout ; the physical shape will draw in white wireframe in the viewports . use the move and rotate tools to adjust the physical shape ' s relative placement with respect to the rigid body .\nthe simulation type for all selected rigid bodies . the available choices are dynamic , kinematic , and static . for details , see\nwhen on , massfx converts the selected kinematic body to a dynamic one at the specified frame . available only when rigid body type is set to kinematic .\nthis means you can animate an object using standard methods and set rigid body type to kinematic so it performs as animated until the designated frame . at that point it becomes a dynamic object and is then subject to the full massfx simulation forces .\nfor example , to re - create a baseball game , you might animate the ball leaving the pitcher ' s hand and flying toward the bat . then , using until frame , when the bat strikes the ball , massfx would take over and accurately simulate the action of the batter hitting a home run ( or fouling out ) .\na rigid body need not be animated to take advantage of this feature . for example , you might want to suspend several stationary bodies and then drop them at different times . to do so , simply set them all to kinematic and turn on until frame , then select each one in turn and specify the frame at which it should start being subject to gravity and / or other forces .\nconverts the simulated motion of the rigid body to standard animation keyframes for rendering . applies only to dynamic rigid bodies .\n. this means that it will not move until struck by a non - sleeping rigid body . for example , to simulate a domino rally , start all of the dominos except the first in sleep mode .\nwhen on ( the default ) , the rigid body collides with other rigid bodies in the scene .\nthe physical material properties control the way the rigid body interacts with other elements in the simulation : its mass , friction , bounciness , and so on . you can set the material properties one at a time , or use a preset to simulate real - world substances such as cardboard or rubber .\nuse the drop - down list to choose the physical shape of the rigid body for which you are changing the material parameters . by default , all physical shapes use the common material setting labeled\n( object )\n. only physical shapes whose\nchoose a preset from the list to specify all physical material properties . ( the mass of the rigid body is recalculated based on the value of the density and the volume of the object . ) when a preset is chosen the settings are not editable , but when preset is set to ( none ) you can edit the values freely .\nto use the settings from a different rigid body in the scene , click and then select a rigid body in the scene .\nat the bottom of the list are commands to load and save a preset as a file and to create a new preset .\n( grams per cubic centimeter ) . this is one thousandth of the equivalent measurement in si units : kg / m\n. changing this value automatically calculates the correct mass for the object , based on its volume .\nthe weight of this rigid body , measured in kg ( kilograms ) . changing this value automatically updates the density of the object , based on its volume .\nthe degree of difficulty for two rigid bodies to start sliding against one another . a value of 0 . 0 indicates no friction ( more slippery than teflon ) ; a value of 1 . 0 indicates full friction ( rubber cement on sandpaper ) .\nthe effective static friction between two rigid bodies is the product of their static friction values . if one rigid body has a static friction of 0 . 0 , it doesn ' t matter how what the value of the other is . ( everything slides on wet ice ; even sandpaper . ) once the two objects start sliding , the dynamic friction ( see following ) applies instead .\nthe degree of difficulty for two rigid bodies to keep sliding against one another . technically , this parameter is called the\ncoefficient of kinematic friction .\na value of 0 . 0 indicates no friction ( more slippery than teflon ) ; a value of 1 . 0 indicates full friction ( rubber cement on sandpaper ) .\nin the real world , this value should be less than the coefficient of static friction . ( it ' s harder to start pushing a couch across the floor than it is to keep it moving . ) as with static friction , the effective value between two rigid bodies is the product of their respective values .\nhow easily and high an object bounces when it hits another rigid body . technically , this parameter is called the\ncoefficient of restitution .\na value of 0 . 0 indicates no bounce ( a lump of peanut butter dropped on carpet ) ; a value of 1 . 0 indicates that the object will bounce off just about as hard as it hit . the effective bounciness between two rigid bodies is the product of their bounciness values . a super - bouncy rubber ball landing on peanut butter will not recover .\nuse this rollout to edit the physical shapes assigned to an object in the simulation . you can use the controls to add and remove physical shapes , change the shape type , copy physical shapes between objects , and more . when you run the simulation , massfx uses all assigned physical shapes to represent the object ' s physical presence . for more information , see rigid body overview .\nshows all the physical shapes that comprise the rigid body . highlight a physical shape in the list to rename it , delete it , copy and paste it , change its mesh parameters or affect its transform via the\napplies a new physical shape to the rigid body . by default , the new shape is the convex type and covers the entire graphical mesh , the same was when you first apply the massfx rigid body modifier to an object . after you add a shape , it ' s highlighted in the list so you can change the shape type , properties , and so on .\nchange the name for the highlighted physical shape . this name is just for your own use to easily identify multiple physical shapes .\ndelete the highlighted physical shape from the rigid body . ( the last remaining physical shape for a rigid body cannot be deleted . )\ncopy the highlighted physical shape to the clipboard for subsequent pasting ( see following ) . the physical shape ' s parameters and local transform are copied along with the mesh .\npaste a previously copied physical shape ( see preceding ) onto the current rigid body .\nthe new physical shape is not an instance ; any changes you make to the originally copied physical shape do not affect the new physical shape after pasting .\nflips the shape geometry around the specified axis ( see mirror shape settings , following ) .\nopens a dialog for setting the axis along which the shape is mirrored , and whether to use the local axis or the world axis .\nadapts the highlighted shape in the list to the current state of the graphical mesh . use this to re - fit the physical shape to the graphical mesh after editing either . examples might involve transforming sub - objects or scaling the object .\napplied to the highlighted item in the modify shapes list . the available types are sphere , box , capsule , convex , concave , original , and custom . sphere , box , and custom are massfx primitives and simulate more quickly than other hulls . for best performance , use the simplest type you can get away with .\nthe contents of this rollout vary , depending on the shape type setting . for descriptions of the parameters for each type , see massfx physical shape types .\nchanging the shape type generates a new shape of the chosen type sized to fit around the graphical mesh . the options for the shape , which depend on the chosen shape type , are available on the physical mesh parameters rollout ( see following ) .\nfor example , take the teapot primitive and apply the rigid body modifier with generate shape per element on . this creates four physical - shape elements by default , of which the first is the body of the teapot : element 1 . if , with element 1 highlighted in the shapes list , you choose element 2 ( the handle ) from the shape element list , massfx reshapes the teapot body physical shape to the handle . or if you choose all elements , element 1 takes on the shape and size of the entire teapot mesh . if you then change the shape type setting , say from convex to box , the result is a physical shape of that type that fits around the active shape element item .\nclicking this button creates a new editable mesh object in the scene from the highlighted physical shape and sets the shape type to custom . you can use standard mesh - editing tools to adjust the mesh , then update the physical shape from it . for more information , see\n. however , you might be working with a complex rigid body that comprises many physical shapes , where you want to use different settings for certain physical shapes . in this case , turn on override physical material . all properties in this section work as described for the physical material rollout , but apply only to the selected physical mesh .\nwhen on , renders the physical shapes as shaded , solid objects in shaded viewports , rather than as wireframes . also turns on the\nthe contents of this rollout vary , depending on the shape type setting . for descriptions of the parameters for each type , see massfx physical shape types .\nuse the forces rollout to control gravity and apply force space warps to the rigid body .\nuse world gravity when off , the rigid body uses only forces applied here and ignores the global gravity setup . when on , the rigid body uses the global gravity setup . scene forces applied lists force space warps in the scene that affect this object in the simulation . use add to apply a space warp to the object . to prevent a space warp from affecting the object , highlight it in the list and then click remove . add applies a force space warp in the scene to the object in the simulation . after adding the space warp to the scene , click add and then click the space warp in the viewport . remove prevents an applied space warp from affecting the object . first highlight it in the list , then click remove .\nset the numeric value to the desired number of times the solver enforces collisions and constraints . higher values might be necessary when the simulation uses many constraints , or the tolerance for joint errors is very low . a value higher than 30 is generally unnecessary .\nfor a concave static rigid body , turn this on to ensure that dynamic objects in the simulation collide with its back faces .\nfor example , take a box primitive , convert it to editable poly format , remove a side , and then make it a static rigid body with the original shape type . if you then place a dynamic object inside the box , turn on enable backface collision for the box to keep the object from falling through the sides .\nuse these settings to determine the surrounding volume within which massfx detects collisions between bodies in the simulation .\nan excessively high value can cause objects to interpenetrate visibly . setting this value too low can cause jittering because objects alternate between interpenetrating one frame and being forcibly separated the next .\nthe best value depends upon variety of factors , including the size of objects in the scene , the proximity of the camera to possible interpenetrations , the settings for gravity acceleration and solver iterations , the inflation amount of the physical shapes , and the frame rate of the simulation .\nthe distance that resting bodies are allowed to overlap . this setting can come into play when using\nchanging the contact distance value automatically changes the rest depth value to the new contact distance value plus the difference between the two . for example , say contact distance is 10 . 0 and rest depth is 8 . 0 ( difference = \u20132 . 0 ) . if you then change contact distance to 6 . 5 , rest depth automatically changes to 4 . 5 ( 6 . 5 + ( \u20132 . 0 ) ) . however , changing the rest depth value does not affect contact distance .\nthis setting applies only to rigid bodies that start out kinematic ( typically these are already animated ) and then switch to dynamic at the frame specified by the until frame setting on the rigid body properties rollout . normally , the initial velocity and initial spin of such bodies are calculated based on the animation for the last frame before they become dynamic . when this option is set to absolute , the values of initial velocity and initial spin ( see following ) are substituted for the animation - based values . when set to relative , the specified values are added to the values calculated from the animation .\nthe starting direction and speed ( in units per second ) for the rigid body when it becomes dynamic . the xyz parameters are maintained as a normalized vector , which can be difficult to edit or picture . to visualize the initial velocity direction and optionally change it with the\nthe starting axis and speed ( in degrees per second ) for the rigid body ' s rotation when it becomes dynamic . the xyz parameters are maintained as a normalized vector , which can be difficult to edit or picture . to visualize the initial spin axis and optionally change it with the\napplies to animated , kinematic rigid bodies . determines the motion values ( see preceding ) for the animated object at the current frame and then sets the initial velocity and initial spin fields to those values .\nuse this function to apply initial motion values from a point in the animation of the kinematic body other than those at the frame at which it becomes dynamic .\nthe point around which a rigid body rotates unless constrained in some way . to visualize and adjust this point graphically for the rigid body , use the center of mass sub - object level .\ncalculate from meshes automatically determines an appropriate center of mass for the rigid body based on its geometry .\nlets you set a distance from the object ' s pivot on the x , y , and z axes to use as the center of mass .\nmove pivot to com relocates the object ' s pivot at the center of mass specified by the local offset xyz values . available only when local offset is active .\ndamping slows down the rigid bodies . typical uses include reducing oscillations in a simulation or causing an object to appear to be traveling through a dense medium .\nselect ragdoll selects the ragdoll to which the rigid body belongs . available only when the rigid body is part of a ragdoll object .\nmassfx physical shape types this topic covers the parameters rollouts and settings for the various physical shape types in massfx .\nconnect , consult with , and hire trusted industry experts on the autodesk services marketplace .\nexcept where otherwise noted , work provided on autodesk knowledge network is licensed under a creative commons attribution -

atitis is a huge market , primarily asia - based , where biogen would have to compete directly with its own far - larger marketing partner , schering plough .\none measure of the market ' s response took biogen by surprise . after avonex was introduced in the united states , large numbers of multiple sclerosis patients called the company directly , seeking advice . in most diseases , drug companies rarely have contact with patients . but biogen executives say m . s . primarily strikes relatively young , affluent and educated white women , and the loss of control associated with the disease seemed to prompt many patients to seek greater understanding of the drug .\nin october 2003 , biogen idec licensed certain exclusive worldwide rights to develop and market bg -

man\u201d company ; in bilta there were two directors , one of whom was the only shareholder , and both of whom were involved in the conspiracy ) , an opportunity presented itself to the court of appeal to extend the operation of the \u201csole actor\u201d exception . for example , the decision in stone & rolls had left open the question of whether the exception applied to such factual scenarios ( rather than a simple \u201coneman\u201d company ) and / or to a claim by a company against its directors .\ncited \u2013 ashmore , benson , pease and co v a v dawson ltd ca ( [ 1973 ] 1 wlr 828 ) by acquiescing in the overloading of the hauliers\u2019 lorries , the consignors\u2019 assistant transport manager and his assistant made the haulage contract unenforceable at the instance of the consignors , who were unable to recover when a lorry toppled over . .\ns 213 is one of a number of discretionary powers conferred by statute on the english court to require persons to contribute to the deficiency who have dealt with a company now in liquidation in a manner which has depleted its assets , with no express limits on their territorial application . it provides as follows :\nit was alleged that in february 1998 , leung yat tung ( the \u201c bankrupt \u201d ) transferred to harbour front limited ( \u201c harbour front \u201d ) certain shares owned by him at a gross undervalue . in march 2001 , the bankrupt was adjudicated bankrupt and official receiver ( \u201c or \u201d ) was appointed as trustee in bankruptcy .\nto begin with , the fact that a company is in liquidation in a particular country does not by itself give rise to a basis to recognize that liquidation in singapore . something more has to be shown . the court acknowledges that there has been a general trend towards recognition that universal cooperation between jurisdictions is a necessary part of the contemporary world in the context of cross - border insolvency . in line with such a universalist approach , there is a greater readiness to go beyond traditional bases for recognizing foreign insolvency proceedings . the place of incorporation of a company may be an accident of many factors , and may be far removed from the actual place of business .\ncited \u2013 salomon v a salomon and company ltd hl ( [ 1897 ] ac 22 , 66 ljch 35 , [ 1895 - 99 ] all er 33 ) mr salomon had incorporated his long standing personal business of shoe manufacture into a limited company . he held nearly all the shares , and had received debentures on the transfer into the company of his former business . the business failed , and . .\nunlike their counterparts in the uk , consumers in hong kong seem to be in a worse position . in the absence of a statutory regime , consumers can only rely on the voluntary \u201cchargeback\u201d arrangements offered by credit card issuers in limited circumstances . a simple google search will reveal that not all credit card issuers offer chargeback arrangements and even they do , card issuers do not always do enough to inform consumers about how to raise a chargeback claim and what documentation needs to be provided to the bank . the bank regulator\u2019s executive director of the monetary authority , carmen chu , also warned that in some situations , where the banks paid the business in full first , before later on collecting the sum from credit card users in instalments , the customer is still obliged to make monthly repayments to the bank , even if the business has closed down .\nthe decision in bilta serves to illustrate the uncertainty that had existed , following stone & rolls , as to the potential availability of the \u201csole actor\u201d exception . the court of appeal\u2019s judgment goes some way in clarifying the position , in that it held that the \u201csole actor\u201d exception was of limited application , and in particular does not apply to claims by a company against its fraudulent director ( s ) . patten lj does not , however , provide a great deal of explanation for circumscribing the extent of the \u201csole actor\u201d exception in this way . this was also a court of appeal rather than a supreme court decision and it remains to be seen whether the legal position will be tested further .\nat common law , liquidation of a foreign company has no automatic consequences in relation to the property of such company in a local jurisdiction . the common law maintains that the court has power to recognise foreign liquidators and assist the courts of the place of incorporation of an insolvent company operating a similar insolvency regime in ensuring that the affairs of the company are properly investigated .\nthe court held that in order for the plaintiff to defend the counterclaim successfully , the plaintiff must establish that she has a beneficial interest in the property : cheung wing kwan tommy v hong kong export credit insurance corp [ 2012 ] 2 hklrd 1255 ; health v tang [ 1993 ] 1 wlr 1421 . but she cannot establish such an interest because any such interest she may have had is vested in the tib . hence , she has no defence .\nthe supreme court\u2019s decision in jetivia will be one of the most important decisions in insolvency for many years . if the supreme court upholds the appeal , the impact on proceedings brought by administrators and liquidators against fraudulent directors will be significant . additionally , any decision which denies the extra - territorial reach of the insolvency act will have serious implications for office holders who are ever more frequently trying to make recoveries for the benefit of creditors in relation to businesses which have a global reach .\nthe court was satisfied that it had jurisdiction over itto , as it was a shareholder of the fund and had submitted a proof of debt . noting that the appointment of bankruptcy trustee in barbados would definitely interfere with the conduct of the cayman islands liquidation , the court granted the anti - suit injunction .\nan application for recognition and assistance was made by the joint and several official liquidators ( the \u201c liquidators \u201d ) of rennie produce ( aust ) pty ltd which was in liquidation in australia . such application was made pursuant to a letter of request issued by the federal court of australia . a separate application was made for production of documents by two banks in hong kong .\nthe english high court referred to the court of appeal decision in salford estates ( no . 2 ) ltd v altomart ltd [ 2014 ] ewca civ 1575 , in which it was held that the court should , save in wholly exceptional circumstances , exercise its discretion in an application for winding up consistently with the legislative policy embodied in the arbitration act 1996 .\nas noted above , jetivia and mr brunschweiler were said by the liquidators to have dishonestly assisted the directors in the conspiracy to defraud the company . at first instance , and on appeal , the appellants sought to have this claim struck out , relying on the principle of ex turpi causa non oritur actio , on the basis that the company itself was part of a conspiracy to defraud hmrc . the principle of ex turpi causa was originally defined by lord mansfield cj in holman v johnson ( 1775 ) as the rule that \u201c no court will lend its aid to a man who founds his cause of action upon an immoral or illegal act \u201d .\nback in mid - 1990s , there was discussion in hong kong regarding the introduction of an insolvent trading provision , which closely mirrors the wrongful trading provision of the uk insolvency act 1986 . the purpose of the introduction of the insolvent trading provision is to encourage better corporate governance . it was designed to raise the awareness of company directors of their duty to creditors , rather than just having regard to the interests of themselves or the shareholders .\nthe law commission believes that an additional category of preferential creditor would not add much complexity , delays and costs , since the limited preference is not designed to protect consumers in all circumstances . rather , it would cover only the most serious cases , where businesses take new ( and substantial ) cash payments from consumers in the run - up to insolvency .\nat trial the defendants relied on the house of lords decision in stone & rolls ltd ( in liquidation ) v moore stephens ( a firm ) ( 2009 ) , where it was held by a majority that a claim by a \u2018one - man\u2019 company defrauded by its director , against auditors who were said to have failed , negligently , to alert the company to the fraud , was prevented by the principle of \u2018ex turpi causa\u2019 ( see above ) as that director was the company\u2019s sole mind , will and beneficial owner and his dishonesty was therefore to be attributed to the company .\nthe appellants\u2019 application was dismissed at first instance and on appeal . at first instance and in the court of appeal , the appellants submitted that in respect of bilta\u2019s claims , the court was bound by the decision of the house of lords in stone and rolls \u2013 in which the house of lords attributed knowledge of a director\u2019s fraud to a one - person company , creating an exception to the rule in re hampshire land co ( no . 2 ) [ 2 ] and allowing the company\u2019s auditors to resist the company\u2019s claim in negligence on the basis of ex turpi causa .\nmr . innhaug , being the founding shareholder of nordic international limited ( the \u201c company \u201d ) entered into a shareholders\u2019 agreement with sinwa ss ( hong kong ) co ltd ( \u201c sinwa \u201d ) , which took up 50 % stake in the company . not long after , disputes surfaced between the parties and the parties have since been involved in multiple litigation and arbitration proceedings .\ndisputes arose over the allotment of shares in the subsequent itamae restaurants . as a result , the ajisen shareholders entered into a shareholders\u2019 agreement known as the hero elegant agreement at the end of 2015 , under which it was agreed that jason and daisy would be allotted shares in the itamae sushi business through their corporate vehicle , fine elite group limited ( \u201c fine elite \u201d ) .\nnot to be followed \u2013 moore stephens ( a firm ) v stone rolls ltd ( in liquidation ) hl ( bailii , [ 2009 ] ukhl 39 , times 11 -

executive director of the company , knew or ought to have known , that the company was insolvent and there was no hope to trade out of insolvency . she should have procured the appointment of provisional liquidators , or otherwise blown the whistle . but she did not . instead , she left the company to trade on and as a result , there was an increased net deficiency of hk $ 1 . 23 billion by the time the company was wound up . on appeal , barma j\u2019s order was set aside , but restored by the court of final appeal . while the final outcome is still pending , the moulin case demonstrates the possibility of a claim based on insolvent trading .\nthe case was appealed to the supreme court , the court of appeal not having gone into huge detail about the circumstances where the ex turpi causa defence might apply or be defeated . however the supreme court has decided this is not the case in which to expand the discussion . it did say that stone & rolls was limited to its facts . lord neuberger said that\nhowever , the court decided that the \u201csole actor\u201d exception did not apply to a case like bilta , where the claim was against the fraudulent directors themselves ( and / or those dishonestly assisting them ) . amongst other things , patten lj agreed with the court below that the reasoning in stone & rolls is not applicable to a case in which the claim is based on breach of a duty which ( unlike the duty owed by the auditors in stone & rolls , which the majority of the house of lords accepted was a duty owed to the company alone ) extends beyond the interests of the fraudsters as shareholders , to creditors . stone & rolls did not , therefore , apply in bilta , where ( as patten lj noted ) the directors\u2019 duties had always included a duty to consider the interests of creditors under s . 172 of the companies act 2006 ( and it should be noted that there were also parallel proceedings under s . 213 of the insolvency act 1986 ) . patten lj said that this would be the position even in a case where a true \u201cone - man\u201d company sued its sole director and owner for a breach of duty against the company . indeed , patten lj held that the circumstances in which the \u201c sole actor\u201d exception should apply are extremely limited , saying that the decision in stone & rolls \u201cshould be confined in my view to the claim and facts in that case \u201d and that \u201c in the context of a claim by the company against its fraudulent directors , the rule has no place in english law \u201d .\nin the recent decision of shlosberg v avonwick holdings ltd and others [ 2016 ] ewhc 1001 ( ch ) , the english high court considered the nature and devolution of legal professional privilege in the context of bankruptcy . it was held that the trustee in bankruptcy might be unable to waive privilege even when entitled to possession of privileged documents to administer the bankrupt\u2019s estate .\nthe court agreed with the english court of appeal\u2019s decision in liquidator of west mercia safetywear ltd v dodd and another ( 1988 ) bcc 30 , in which a director was made personally liable for procuring an undue preference . the court found that holding a director who procures an undue preference directly responsible for restoring the company to the position it would otherwise have been in is not only just , but also in line with the clear direction of the singapore court of appeal in liquidators of progen engineering pte ltd v progen holdings ltd [ 2010 ] 4 slr 1089 that a director has a fiduciary duty to take into account the interests of the company\u2019s creditors when a company is insolvent , or near insolvency .\nanother such provision , s 238 ( which empowers the court to make orders against any person to reverse transactions at an undervalue ) , was held by the court of appeal to apply without territorial limitations in in re paramount airways ltd [ 1993 ] ch 223 . in this case , sir donald nicholls v - c observed : ( i ) that current patterns of cross - border business weaken the conducting the liquidation of a united kingdom company ; ( ii ) that the absence in the statute of any test for what would constitute presence in the united kingdom makes it unlikely that presence there was intended to be a condition of the exercise of the power ; and ( iii ) that the absence of a connection with the united kingdom would be a factor in the exercise of the discretion to permit service out of the proceedings as well in the discretion whether to grant the relief , which was enough to prevent injustice ( para . 110 ) .\nian robert ( trustee in bankruptcy of mr . elichaoff deceased ) v sarah jane duncanson woodall [ 2016 ] ewhc 538 ( ch ) the tib contended that causes in action , as property of the bankrupt estate , vest in a trustee in bankruptcy upon his appointment unless the claims are of an entirely personal nature : section 283 of the insolvency act and heath v tang [ 1993 ] 1 wlr 1421 . the tib observed that claims for financial provisions will not be entirely personal because they may include sums which will be paid to creditors . the court concluded that the right to seek financial provision does not vest in the tib . hence , the court granted the application to strike out the relief claimed within the tib\u2019s application .\nthe court in bilta , a case involving the different situation of a claim by a company against parties said to have dishonestly assisted the company\u2019s directors in defrauding the company , circumscribed the ambit of this \u201csole actor\u201d exception and decided that it did not apply in this case . a question remains , however , as to the implications of this for third party professionals such as solicitors or accountants who might be sued by an insolvent company on the basis that those professionals have failed to spot or alert the company to a fraud perpetrated by its directors .\nthe first restaurant was opened by smart wave limited ( \u201c smart wave \u201d ) , using the trade name \u201citamae\u201d ( \u677f\u9577\u58fd\u53f8 ) . apart from ajisen shareholders , smart wave also had five minority shareholders , who were suppliers and key staff . ricky was the sole director of smart wave . three additional itamae restaurants were opened within two years of the first .\nfieldfisher llp v pennyfeathers limited [ 2016 ] ewhc 566 ( ch ) the evidence disclosed that there is a good arguable case that ff is owed large sums and is therefore a creditor with sufficient status to apply for an administration order : hammonds v pro - fit usa ltd [ 2007 ] ewhc 1998 ( ch ) . however , the cfa contains an arbitration clause , whereby the parties agree to refer any dispute arising out of or in connection with the cfa to arbitration . the court noted that exercise of the discretion otherwise than consistently with the policy underlying the arbitration act 1996 would inevitably encourage parties to an arbitration agreement to bypass the arbitration agreement by invoking insolvency procedures in the companies court . parties should not be allowed to do so , since it would be entirely contrary to the parties\u2019 agreement as to the proper forum for the resolution of such an issue and to the legislative policy of the arbitration act 1996 : salford estates . the application was accordingly dismissed .\nstephen paul grant and james richard tickell ( joint liquidators of ralls builders limited ) v william ralph ralls , nicholas lee ralls and gary christopher hailstones [ 2016 ] ewhc 243 ( ch ) the liquidators then applied to the court for an order that the additional costs and expenses incurred by them in dealing with the wrongful trading claim , which amounted to \u00a3256 , 160 . 75 , be contributed by the directors to the assets of the company . moreover , the court pointed out that it had found that the continued trading did not result in any increase in the net deficiency of the company . it would be illogical if the court , despite such findings , nevertheless ordered the directors to pay for the additional fees and costs incurred by the liquidators in investigating and unsuccessfully trying to prove that some loss was sustained .\nthe position in new york is in fact consistent with the position in hong kong . in east asia satellite television ( holdings ) ltd v new cotai llc & ors [ 2011 ] 3 hklrd 734 , the hong kong court of appel held that whether a derivative action can be brought on behalf of a foreign company is a matter of substantive law , determined by the law of the place of incorporation . similarly , in wong ming bun v wang ming fan [ 2014 ] 1 hklrd 1108 , peter ng j quoted the following passage from graeme johnston , the conflict of law in hong kong , at p . 592 : \u201cthe ability to bring a derivative action in hong kong is a matter for the law of the place of incorporation of the company , though it is also necessary to comply with hong kong procedural requirements for the bringing of such actions . \u201d\ninterestingly , in bilta , as is commonly the case in a claim brought by an insolvent company , the main beneficiary of a successful claim would be the revenue and , ultimately , the taxpayer . as such , in some ways , the decision facing the court of appeal was a simple one . either the court allowed a claim to progress that could result in substantial recovery for the taxpayer or it allowed alleged fraudsters ( the appellants ) to defeat the claim and avoid liability . it is easy to identify the public policy in play , although it would be interesting to see how the court might respond in circumstances where the claim , if successful , would not ultimately benefit the taxpayer but some other third party , such as a litigation funder .\nexpress electrical distributors ltd ( \u201c express \u201d ) is a company which trades in the wholesale supply of electrical goods . edge electrical limited ( \u201c edge \u201d ) was in the business of installing electrical equipment in high value properties . in about 2011 , edge became a customer of express and purchased significant quantities of goods from express every month or so . in order to utilize the maximum credit to which edge was entitled , edge generally paid for the supplies on the last available payment date allowed under express\u2019s terms and conditions . however , from november 2012 , edge started to pay late . on 29 may 2013 , in response to a number of attempts by express to contact edge , edge made a payment of \u00a330 , 000 to express in respect of goods already supplied .\n\u00a9 2018 enyo law llp | privacy | terms of business enyo law llp is authorised and regulated by the solicitors regulation authority ( 548866 ) and is a limited liability partnership registered in england and wales with registered number oc356313 . a list of members is open to inspection at the registered office , 11 pilgrim street , london ec4v 6rn , and any reference to a partner of enyo law llp means a member of enyo law llp . our professional rules can be found in the sra code of conduct 2011 and the sra handbook : urltoken\ncited \u2013 abrath v north eastern railway co hl ( ( 1886 ) 11 app cas 247 ) the plaintiff had brought an action against the company of malicious prosecution . it was rejected by the jury and again on appeal . held : the appeal failed . in an action for damages for the tort of malicious prosecution one of the elements of . ."]}

hindi agitations and demonstrations , ordered the removal of hindi in all state government affairs . on january 23 , 1968 tamil nadu government dropped the three - language formula ( tamil , english , hindi ) and adopted the two - language formula ( tamil and english ) .\nthe two - language policy ( state language and english ) is a reasonable solution for any state ; state language for those who live and / or work in the state and english for those on a short visit . it is the duty of those who live / work in the state to learn the state language and it is the responsibility for visitors to know the state language or english , or come with a little travelers dictionary or come with someone who knows the state language or english . this is what non -

february 1965 which was brutally suppressed resulting the police , out - of - state police , central police and army shooting deaths of 63 unarmed protesters [ reference 2 ] . that lead to the utter defeat of the ruling congress party in the 1967 legislative assembly election . dravida munnetra kazhagam ( dmk ) which stood against hindi imposition received a majority in the election and formed state government under chief minister c . n . annadurai .\nas a fallout , proposed services between karnataka and kerala too have been affected . both the states had recently entered into an agreement to float new services connecting cities like thiruvananthapuram and ernakulam in kerala with bengaluru , particularly during festive seasons . but since it would involve buses passing through cities in tamil nadu , like coimbatore and salem , the services have been grounded . strained relations between karnataka and tamil nadu , sustained pressure from private operators\u2019 lobby and an unstable government in tamil nadu have contributed to the delay at arriving at an arrangement . setc officials also apprehend that reciprocal agreements between the states will work largely in ksrtc\u2019s favour because of its fleet of luxury buses as opposed to ill - maintained tn buses .\nthe two - language policy introduced by the dmk government of c . n . annadurai in 1968 was accepted and followed by every tamil nadu government that came after ( dmk and all india anna dravida munnetra kazhagam ( aiadmk ) governments under chief ministers karunanidhi ( dmk ) , m . g . ramachandran ( aiadmk ) , jayalalithaa jeyaram ( aiadmk ) , o . panneerselvam ( aiadmk ) and the current aiadmk government of edappadi k palaniswami . so who is including hindi in the state express bus schedule in kanyakumari ?\nthere was one incidence of hindi use by state government in the past . madurai city corporation commissioner ( an ias officer from hindi region ) ordered in 2013 that name boards in major streets of madurai city include hindi . opposition to the use of hindi mounted . tamil desa pothuvudamai katchi took the lead and organized a demonstration against it on january 25 , 2013 . the commissioner heard tamil people ' s message and withdrew his order\nrespecting sentiments of our tamil brothers and sisters\n. the commissioner is a honourable man . he made a mistake and corrected it when it was brought to his attention [ reference 3 ] .\nif you would like to translate this article to tamil for us , please write us . your help would be greatly appreciated .\nthe views expressed in comments published on urltoken are those of the comment writers alone . they do not represent the views or opinions of urltoken or its staff , nor do they represent the views or opinions of the new indian express group , or any entity of , or affiliated with , the new indian express group . urltoken reserves the right to take any or all comments down at any time .\nhe also also announced that the government , in association with public sector oil firms , would set up retail fuel outlets in 100 sites owned by transport corporations , to monetise its real estate assets .\nthe problem is not with the individual officers but with the indian government policy of posting out -

the - book detective kristin sims ( fern sutherland ) and , as might be expected , to begin with they don\u2019t hit it off . but as inexplicable murder follows inexplicable murder , it\u2019s also to be expected that they\u2019ll start to form a bond as mike adjusts to life in the country , where everybody seems to be connected to everybody else and deep , dark secrets abound \u2026 .\nbrokenwood is a small place . the population seems to be around five thousand , although it\u2019s constantly decreasing ( depending on how many people get killed in any given episode ) . brokenwood\u2019s bucolic beauty is one of the series\u2019 selling points \u2013 no wonder that some have dubbed the show \u201ca new zealand midsomer murders \u201d \u2013 whilst the interplay between mike and kristin is another obvious plus - point .\nit\u2019s hardly an original concept for a series . a mismatched partnership \u2013 male / female \u2013 with very different takes on just about everything . but since the formula works it\u2019s not surprising that it gets repeated again and again . the brokenwood mysteries might not bring anything particularly new to the table , but it does what it does very well .\nit\u2019s always handy to start a new series with an outsider , since they can function as the audience identification figure and we can learn along with them . mike shepherd is pitched headlong into the town of brokenwood in the opening episode \u2013 blood and water \u2013 which sees a local farmer \u2013 nate dunn ( chris sherwood ) \u2013 fished out of the river . did he commit suicide or was it a case of murder ? the parameters of the series are firmly set here \u2013 a leisurely running time ( 90 minutes plus per episode ) , lashings of country music ( mike\u2019s a firm fan ) and a story where long - hidden secrets hold the key to solving the mystery .\nneill rea instantly appeals as mike shepherd . mike is a friendly and slightly rumpled character , easily able to put just about everybody he meets at their ease ( a useful skill for a detective ) . his private life is a bit of a mystery though . there are definitely ex - wives in his past , although exactly how many isn\u2019t known . that he elects to stay in brokenwood after solving the first case suggests that he had nothing or no - one special to return home to ( he\u2019s very much a self - contained person , happy with his own company ) .\nhe does have passions though \u2013 a 1971 car he\u2019s very proud of ( although nobody else agrees with him ) and a large supply of country music cassettes . he prefers music on cassette and he loves country music because \u201cthey\u2019re the best three - minute crime stories ever sung . there\u2019s heartache , adultery , jealousy , divorce , death\u201d . his quirks \u2013 he likes to crack inappropriate jokes when inspecting bodies ( \u201ctoo soon ? \u201d ) as well as conversing with the corpses \u2013 ensures that he stands out from the rank and file .\nhis strengths are matched in equal and opposite ways by kristin sims ( fern sutherland ) . kristin is everything that mike isn\u2019t \u2013 young , meticulous and computer savvy . initially she rubs mike up the wrong way , but it isn\u2019t long before they settle down and form a fairly harmonious working relationship , although kristin can still sometimes be appalled at mike\u2019s reluctance to follow procedure . but as time goes by there\u2019s a definite ying / yang feel to their relationship as both have positive character traits that the other lacks .\nthose familiar with the parameters of this type of series should be easily able to spot the upcoming murder victim during the opening minutes of the second episode , sour grapes . brokenwood is an area with a thriving wine industry , so it\u2019s no surprise to learn that the annual wine contest always sparks a great deal of interest . amanda james\u2019 ( josephine davison ) winery has walked away with the top prize for the last five years , therefore she is appalled when judge paul winterson ( alistair browning ) overlooks her this time .\nthe appearance of dead winterson\u2019s body is a jolting reveal \u2013 it comes bobbing to the surface from one of amanda james\u2019 vast wine vats \u2013 and his presence there means that amanda is a prime suspect . but although the brokenwood mysteries has no qualms in embracing predictability at times , with ninety five minutes to fill it\u2019s pretty obvious that the solution isn\u2019t quite as cut and dried as it first appears .\nthe remaining two episodes of the first series \u2013 playing the lie and hunting the stag \u2013 maintain the high standard already established . arresting reveals of the dead or dying is something of a brokenwood trait and playing the lie certainly doesn\u2019t disappoint on this score . the sight of adele stone ( roz turnbull ) , owner of the brokenwood golf club , lurching towards a group of golfers \u2013 her face red and distorted \u2013 is certainly something out of the ordinary . death by poisoning ? that\u2019s what mike and kristen have to establish .\nin hunting the stag , hayden renner ( francis mountjoy ) elects to combine his stag party with the hunt for a real animal , so he and his friends head out into the forest . but bride - to - be renner never makes it back \u2013 he\u2019s shot through the head . at first it appears to be a tragic hunting accident , but since none of his friends will admit to shooting him and all of them discharged their rifles , things turn out to be quite complex .\nas series one progresses , we begin to learn a little more about the other regulars . detective constable sam breen ( nic sampson ) is always on hand to do a spot of research or provide some necessary exposition . playing third banana on a police show isn\u2019t a terribly rewarding job , but sampson does the best with the material he\u2019s provided with .\npana hema taylor has a more interesting role as jared morehu . when mike moves to brokenwood , jared becomes his neighbour as well as his drinking buddy and confidant . in his early twenties , jared has the air of a wide - boy who enjoys skirting around the edges of the law . possibly it\u2019s a case of opposites attracting , but he and mike quickly form a bond ( there\u2019s a surrogate father / son vibe about them ) and jared sometimes finds himself assisting \u2013 totally unofficially , of course \u2013 mike in the odd investigation .\ngina kadinsky ( christina serban ionda ) is brokenwood\u2019s idiosyncratic medical examiner whilst meredith wilmott ( andi crown ) appears in several episodes . meredith is the head of police communications as well as being one of mike\u2019s ex - wives , so there\u2019s inevitable mileage to be found in their personal and professional conflicts .\nstrange murders keep occurring as the series enters its second series . in leather and lace , arnie langstone ( phil vaughan ) , coach of the brokenwood cheetahs rugby team , is discovered dead , stripped naked and tied to a goalpost with a pair of women\u2019s underwear stuffed down his throat . the brokenwood cheetahs are a record - breaking side \u2013 with an incredible losing streak of fifty straight games \u2013 so arnie\u2019s death doesn\u2019t distress many at the club . but then a second body turns up \u2026\none of the strengths of the series is the way that it hops from different groups and sections of society ( winegrowers , rugby teams , etc ) . the next episode , to die or not to die , maintains this run as mike and kristen investigate a mysterious death at the brokenwood theatre society . the back - stabbing world of amateur dramatics is a fertile area for both drama and comedy , making this episode a highlight of series two .\ncatch of the day poses yet another baffling mystery . when jared discovers a severed human hand in a crayfish pot , the team have to consider several questions \u2013 who does the hand belong to and are they still alive ? this one may feel a little drawn out , but the interplay of the regulars ensures that it still ticks along quite nicely .\nafter that slight dip , series two ends on a strong note with blood pink . as we\u2019ve seen , mike is a big country music fan and is naturally delighted when his favourite singer , holly collins ( browwyn turei ) , arrives in brokenwood for a gig . no surprises that she doesn\u2019t make it out alive \u2013 which immediately points the finger at her dysfunctional band members \u2013 slim fingers ( peter dabue ) , waylon strings ( jordan maguer ) and jesse james ( colleen davis ) .\nlike other long - form detective dramas \u2013 midsomer murders , inspector morse \u2013 the lengthy running time of the brokenwood mysteries can be both a blessing and a curse . whilst it means that the mysteries are given time to unfold , there are also occasions when a less than engaging story can feel like something of a slog . but luckily there\u2019s more hits than misses across these two series , so this isn\u2019t too much of a problem .\nboth releases include a number of short special features . series one has two interviews \u2013 the first with neill rea and fern sutherland and the other with head writer tim balme whilst series two has a behind the scenes featurette . the brief running times of the interviews and featurettes ( five minutes each for the interviews , three minutes for the behind the scenes feature ) means that they obviously can\u2019t go into any great depth , but they do help to place the series in context . both series also include photo galleries , each running for around a minute .\nthe brokenwood mysteries is an engaging series which should definitely appeal to crime fans . recommended .\naudio commentary on domino with actor stephen marsh ( p . c . harry dunne ) .\nthe final cases : documentary on the making of this last series , with actors nicholas donnelly ( sgt . johnny wills ) , richard heffer ( d . s . alan bruton ) , gregory de polnay ( d . s . mike brewer ) and production assistant vivienne cozens .\ngood evening all : a tribute to jack warner , with nicholas donnelly , richard heffer , stephen marsh , gregory de polnay and vivenne cozens .\npersonnel files : extended interviews with nicholas donnelly , richard heffer and gregory de polnay .\nhaving the episodes themselves would have justified the purchase price , but this set of special features is more than welcome . more information on collection three can be found here whilst there\u2019s an overview of collection one here .\ncollections one and two contained all the existing colour episodes broadcast between 1970 and 1975 ( with the exception of molenzicht which was omitted for unspecified rights reasons ) .\ncollection three will have all eight episodes from the 22nd and final series ( broadcast in 1976 ) . this is the only series of dixon of dock green to exist in its entirety , which sadly indicates just how depleted the dixon archive is .\nthis final series sees george dixon ( jack warner ) working as a civilian collator at dock green police station , following his retirement from the force . given that jack warner was eighty years old at the time , this was a reasonable move ( indeed , his obvious age and immobility had been a problem for a few years prior to this ) .\nmissing from the final series was andy crawford ( played by peter byrne ) . as byrne had been a regular since 1955 , his decision not to take part in this series was puzzling \u2013 as it was pretty obvious that the series ( due to warner\u2019s age ) wouldn\u2019t be continuing for much longer .\ni\u2019ve written here about my appreciation of the first collection of episodes , released in 2012 , and hopefully these final eight will be of a similar standard .\nenter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email .\nsorry , we just need to make sure you ' re not a robot . for best results , please make sure your browser is accepting cookies .\none of their most interesting upcoming releases is casanova ' 73 ( pictured , right ) , starring british cinema legend leslie phillips . penned by ray galton and alan simpson - the highly regarded writing duo behind hancock ' s half hour and steptoe and son - the show focuses on henry newhouse ( ' new house ' , a translation of the italian ' casa nova ' - geddit ? ) , a slightly reluctant middle - aged lothario ; he loves his wife , but no matter how hard he tries , just can ' t help falling into bed with a string of glamorous , saucy and alluring young women .\nan indirect spin - off from hancock ' s half hour , the sitcom saw comedy legend sid james take on his own starring role . his character ' s almost identical to that which we grew to love alongside the lad ' imself ; a wheeler - deeler type , quick - witted gambler and constant fianc\u00e9 with an eye for money - making schemes .\nsadly , citizen james is one series that hasn ' t survived the infamous videotape purges of the 1960s , 70s and 80s : whilst galton and simpson ' s first series exists in its entirety ( 6 episodes ) , only 2 episodes each from series 2 and 3 - penned by sid green and dick hills ( who also wrote for morecambe & wise ) - survive .\nthose green and hills series marked a curious change for the series , with sid becoming less of a cheeky ' spiv ' and more of a social crusader , taking up various causes in each episode ."]}

home to the second largest natural harbour in the world , halifax is rich in history with architecture dating back to colonial times . the city is very compact and walkable , meaning most amenities are just a short walk away ( if you ' re downtown ) , such as the citadel hill , canadian museum of the atlantic , the public gardens ( oldest park in canada ) , and pier 21 .\nthe high floor buses work well in this town . there are ruts and dips all over the roads due to the extreme temperatures experienced . first transit staff feel that low floor buses would not work in yellowknife as they would bottom out and after having driven a rental car on the city streets , i agree with them .\n. a monthly publication of the dominion bureau of statistics ( dbs ) . this publication occasionally made note of events in canadian transit , usually only by city name and not carrier . library holdings included only volumes 7 and 8 ( 1953 and 1954 ) , cs53 - d . was replaced in 1955 by the monthly dbs / statistics canada\ncanada ' s southern neighbour , the united states , can become a side trip from canada or even a major part of your vacation . places like niagara falls , new york state , new york city , detroit , and seattle are easily reached on public transportation or on foot in some cases . see the main article on the u . s . for entry requirements - if you need a visa be sure to apply well in advance .\nwe are committed to publicly report on the progress under this program in order to demonstrate how these investments are achieving measurable and concrete results for canadians . performance measures for infrastructure investments will be included in the agreements signed between the federal government and the provinces and territories . for key outcomes and results , this will include common definitions and negotiated targets . we will work collaboratively with provinces and territories to ensure that we have an effective way to measure and report on key outcomes and results over time . information on the projects funded through the program , the climate lens , and the community employment benefits reporting framework will be publicly reported on a website of the government of canada , in a way similar to the public transit infrastructure fund ( ptif ) and clean water and wastewater fund ( cwwf ) programs .\nour government\u2019s has been providing record support for public infrastructure in nunavut . marine infrastructure is very important to our communities and as m . p for nunavut i am proud to have championed this project as it will directly benefit nunavummiut . our government will continue to work with the government of nunavut to ensure infrastructure funding continues to flow in our territory as we focus on creating jobs , promoting growth , and building strong , prosperous communities across canada\u2019s north .\nas minister of economic development and transportation and mla for iqaluit - manirajak , this is truly great news . this will fundamentally change resupply here and into the communities . new marine infrastructure is crucial to improving the lives of all nunavummiut and is a vital part of the nunavut transportation strategy , ingirrasiliqta . we look forward to continuing to work with the government of canada to build marine facilities in other nunavut communities .\nthe nunavut final agreement between the federal government and inuit leaders was signed in 1993 , setting the direction for the creation of the new territory of nunavut in 1999 . two years later , iqaluit was chosen to be the territorial capital . this brought rapid change : construction and employment opportunities boomed , with a corresponding population increase ( 47 per cent between 1991 and 2001 ) . today , over half of the population is inuit .\ncities , towns and regions often have their own police forces , with the toronto , vancouver and montreal forces being three of the largest . some cities also have special transit police who have full police powers . some quasi - government agencies , such as universities and power utilities also employ private special police . the canadian national railway and canadian pacific railway each have their own police force .\nhere are some yellowknife transit shots taken during a visit on april 29 and 30th . yellowknife has 10 buses in the fleet which includes 2 cutaway buses that are only used in paratrans service . i was surprised to see the bluebird tc2000 still in service as it was not included in the yellowknife fleet survey in 2009 that was submitted to cuta and used for the cthf street side guide .\niqaluit is canada\u2019s most northerly capital . its municipal administration consists of a mayor and eight councillors elected citywide for a four - year term . it provides the usual community services and faces the same municipal issues that confront most other canadian local administrations . what makes it different is that it serves a diverse mix of citizens who have moved there from others parts of nunavut and canada , while trying to preserve a balance between inuit traditions and more recent changes brought from the south .\nas in more southerly cities , iqaluit has the full range of services , such as a modern hospital , banks , law courts , schools , day cares and service clubs . the main campus of nunavut arctic college is located here . there is also a museum , a visitors ' centre , art galleries , several churches , a mosque , satellite communications and an up - to - date computer network . there is a small but vibrant francophone community with its own school and community centre .\nthe north ( northwest territories , nunavut , yukon ) the territories are some of the most remote regions on earth and constitute most of canada ' s landmass . though more known for their unique fauna and landscapes , the territories also have some interesting human settlements , including dawson city , a city that looks nearly untouched from the gold rush of 1898 , and iqaluit , canada ' s newest territorial capital , which is home to some interestingly adaptive architecture to the harsh climate of the north .\nand since the service is accessible but has high floor buses mixed in , you would call into the transit department to tell them you need a low floor on your route for a particular run . if a high floor is assigned to your route for the day , they would get a low floor off another run and ask the driver on that bus for to do your run , while the high floor driver covers the other run .\nhowever , it is still the strength of the land that dominates life in iqaluit and the arctic . although a host of indoor programs , often sport oriented , are offered during the winter , many recreational pastimes \u2014 snowmobiling , camping , hunting , boating and hiking \u2014 are linked to the great outdoors . three nearby territorial parks ( qaummaarviit , katannilik and sylvia grinnell ) are accessible through local outfitters via boat , snowmobile or dog team , and people from all backgrounds enjoy the easy access to nature and northern flora and fauna .\nwi - fi access is common in cities and can be found at most coffee shops , public libraries , and some restaurants . although some locations charge an excessive fee for its use , others provide free wifi , including blenz coffee houses , mcdonalds , second cup , tim horton ' s , and starbucks . note that purchasing the establishment ' s product is expected , even if they are charging for internet access . buying a small coffee or tea typically meets this requirement . most airports and certain via rail stations also offer free wi - fi in passenger areas . see urltoken for a partial listing of establishments offering free wifi .\nby northern standards , the city is a hub of political activity . as the capital , it houses the territorial legislative assembly , all government departments and is the home for many inuit birthright organizations . for these reasons , it is the linchpin of the three nunavut regions of qikiqtaaluk ( baffin ) , kivalliq and kitikmeot . the small satellite community of apex is five kilometres east of iqaluit . nestled around an old - style hudson ' s bay company store , it came into being in the 1950s as a model village for the inuit , built by the canadian government .\nbankruptcy and debt related litigation are public records that will come up in background checks and are considered character concerns - refusal is very likely unless you can make and prove a highly compelling case for it to be set aside ( such as if the judgement resulted from identity theft or a disability ) . if this describes you , and you can afford it - discuss your situation with an immigration attorney prior to making travel plans or applying for a visa . keep in mind also that depending on the jurisdiction where the bankruptcy or litigation occurred ( such as australia and the united kingdom ) you may not be allowed to travel internationally at all , or may require a waiver or permission from the court .\ngenerally the only people who legally permitted to carry handguns in public are federal , provincial , and municipal police , border services officers , wildlife officers in most provinces , sheriff ' s officers in some provinces , private security guards who transport money and people who work in remote\nwilderness\nareas who are properly licensed . it is possible to import non - prohibited firearms such as most types of rifle and shotgun for sporting purposes like target shooting and hunting , and non - prohibited handguns for target shooting may also be imported with the correct paperwork . prohibited firearms will be seized at customs and destroyed . travellers should check with the canada firearms centre [ 61 ] and the canada border services agency [ 62 ] before importing firearms of any type before arrival .\ngreenland , canada ' s major eastern island neighbour , despite being separated by less than 50km of water in some locations is not easily accessible from north america . the flag carrier air greenland flies from iqaluit in nunavut ( yfb ) to the capital nuuk ( goh ) twice a week from june through september . seasonal flights are also available from reykjavik , iceland ( kef ) and year round via copenhagen ( cph ) . another , albeit more expensive option are the summer cruise ships originating in both the u . s . and canada . despite the relative difficulty of reaching the island , the untouched natural arctic beauty of one of the most remote places on earth makes it well worth the effort .\nif your default us time is going to run out while you are in canada , and you want to return to the us direct from canada , you need to apply for a us visa with a longer time period ( eg b - 1 / b - 2 , or a c - 1 transit visa ) before your first trip through the us . for example , if you are going to stay in canada for six months , and you transit through the us on a visa waiver , then the us will regard your six months in canada as not allowing you to return to the us without leaving north america first , as you have stayed more than 90 days in north america in total . note that in this scenario , you have not done anything wrong by visiting the us and then staying in canada for a long time , simply that the us will not allow you to return directly from canada , you have to reset their clock by leaving north america . visa waiver travellers may be able to avoid this by returning their i - 94w ( green ) form to their airline upon departing the us , or to the canadian immigration inspector if entering canada by land ; since the us has no outbound immigration check , it ' s up to the traveller to remember this .\ntrying to distil the climate of canada into an easy - to - understand statement is impossible , given the vast area and diverse geography within the country . overall , in most places , winters are harsh compared to much of the world , on par with northern eurasia . the most populated region , southern ontario , has a less severe climate , similar to the bordering regions of the midwestern and northeastern united states . iqaluit , the capital of nunavut , is just south of the arctic circle and remains very cold except for the months of july and august , when the july average maximum is only 12\u00b0c ( 54\u00b0f ) . on the other hand , the coastlines of british columbia are very mild for their latitude , remaining above freezing for most of winter , yet they are not far away from some of the largest mountain glaciers found on the continent .\nfour people \u2014 allen hayward , paul kaludjak , jim little and madeleine redfern \u2014 are running for mayor .\nand three people \u2014 joanasie akumalik , ed devries and stephen mansell \u2014 are contesting one vacant council seat . akumalik , who was weathered in at cape dorset , could not attend the gathering .\neach candidate was given one minute to answer questions read by moderator lynda gunn .\nbut only one candidate could answer any given question , making it difficult to compare their positions on issues .\nhayward , a mayoral candidate and former city councillor earned the first round applause when he criticized the city\u2019s longstanding practice of publishing the names of delinquent property taxpayers and doing little else to collect the money .\n\u201cthe city has to revisit the issue of garnishing wages and having court action against people that refuse to pay because these are the same people that are a burden on our society and our community , \u201d he said .\n\u201cwhat about the guy who\u2019s getting kicked out of the shelter at eight in the morning on a - 40 degree day ? why don\u2019t we have a place for them to go ? what about the women that are abused in this town ? \u201d he said .\nhis next court appearance on charges of marijuana apossession and trafficking is set for jan . 15 , 2011 .\nwhile giving his opening statement , devries urged voters to look past his reputation and vote for someone who would stand up for them .\nfirst - time council candidate mansell responded to one of several questions on topics that aren\u2019t within the city\u2019s jurisdiction : a question about drug dealers .\nmansell responded by saying this matter is the responsibility of the rcmp and crown lawyers .\nhowever , he proposed more cooperation with those agencies , the expansion of emergency services , and the establishment of an anonymous tip line for iqalummiut who want to report illegal activity but don\u2019t feel they can do that from their homes .\nanother non - city question went to the sole woman running for mayor , redfern , on economic development for youth , a domain which is largely the responsibility of the gn .\ndespite the absence of any unilingual inuktitut - speakers in the audience , mayoral candidate kaludjak answered each question in inuktitut and english , halving his effective response time .\njudging by the questions drawn , it was clear that litter and sanitation were recurring concerns .\nredfern said the city should put out more garbage cans , including dumpsters on the beach for hunters returning from trips , while devries said the city needs to recycle and continue shipping out scrap metal , and he recommended the city keep using the contaminated land in the west 40 area as a place to store waste .\n\u201cit\u2019s a great spot out there right where we dumped that metal , \u201d he said . \u201cthe land unfortunately is contaminated and it\u2019s going to take a huge effort to reclaim that land into any kind of green state again . so let\u2019s not contaminate other lands . \u201d\nredfern said there were creative solutions that other small communities in canada have implemented , such as subsidized taxis .\nbut little turned the bus question \u2013 as he did with other questions \u2013 toward another of his longstanding causes , the safety of non - motorists .\nhe said a bus route was part of that , as is removing rocks and boulders along city streets .\na question directed at hayward asked whether he would support a hotel tax , to which he replied that the last time the city had looked at it they found the matter was under the jurisdiction of the gn .\nbut he said he supported the idea of user fees like a hotel tax , and promised that as mayor he\u2019d push for it with the revenues split between the city and nunavut tourism .\nin a response to a later question about youth and recreation , redfern expressed concerns about the kinds of user fees that hayward said he supports .\n\u201cone of the things we also need to look is that when we do maybe impose user fees that we don\u2019t make it inaccessible to those who cannot pay or who cannot afford , \u201d she said .\n\u201cit is important to remember these are also members of our community and we have to work as a community to find solutions together , \u201d she said .\nthe 1998 nunavut handbook , a world wide web site at the url : urltoken , 1999 .\nthe author is always interested in comments , corrections and further information . please email to : dawwpg @ urltoken this page last modified : wednesday , 30 -

i am building a sanger models ( vac - form ) avro shackleton mr2 and am searching for some photos of the lindholme gear carried in the bomb bay of said\ngrowler\n/ 22000 rivets in close formation\n.\nthe lindholme gear are the three ' stacked ' containers , whilst the large container with shj 1 on the end is a cle mk 3 paratroop supplies container in use as a land supplies container . the other two items are smoke floats or parachute flares ( not sure ) .\nthe gear would be carried in the weapons bay of the aircraft and dropped in a long line up - wind of the survivors .\nthe lindholme asra ( air sea rescue apparatus ) were linked together by a bouyant rope and they were two containers with supplies and a larger container containing a life raft .\nbelieve it or not i do recollect that the gear was tested by dropping it into the river trent lower reaches . the defiant may have been the aircraft test platform .\nthe most important use of the warwick was as an air - sea rescue aircraft . it was decided to equip these aircraft with lindholme rescue gear and with air - droppable lifeboats . the asr warwick entered service in small numbers late in 1943 , and appeared in large numbers in 1944 , operating from bases around the british coast , on iceland , in the mediterranean and over the bay of bengal .\nlindholme containers were made from waxed cardboard tubes with a metal cap on one end and the other end closed by fabric flaps retaining the parachute and hanks of bouyant rope , all three containers were yellow in colour .\n. . . it would indicate the historical progression of development for airdropped dinghies was the defiants and others using type ms - the defiant asr was active in the med in 1942 - to airdropped hardhulled lifeboats like the uffa fox boat also dropped by the warwick . . . active from 1944 onwards . . . to the lindholme gear which was designed alongside them as the hardhulled lifeboats weren ' t overly satisfactory .\nthis may help . shack mr3 phase 3 sharja asr standby . we also hung lindholme on to our valetta c1 on malta comm squadron after the mod disbanded 38 sqdn - and carried a few more plus smoke floats in the cabin : -\ni ' ve just seen a painting of a shackleton dropping a set of lindholme gear to shipwreck survivors . the drop has been made downwind . i thought the drop was made upwind so that the automatically inflated life - raft and accompanying survival containers ( attached to the life - raft by 100 yd ropes ) would be blown towards the survivors ? is my brain playing its usual tricks or has the artist been badly advised ? any coastal navigators out there remember the procedure ?\ndepended on the drift rate of the survivors . usually upwind but sometimes downwind . once dropped upwind on an inverted yacht , before the gear got to them the mast and rigging broke off and the hull sped away . next drop was downwind .\nseveral early attempts were made to improve the equipment that aircraft already carried or which could be dropped to airmen in dinghies . first of all came the \u2018lindholme gear\u2019 \u2013 an emergency supply cannister \u2013 invented by raf group captain waring and from this evolved the \u2018bircham barrel\u2019 , ( developed at nearby raf bircham newton , langham\u2019s \u2018parent\u2019 air field ) . it was made from a cardboard delivery container for a bomb tail - fin , strengthened with steel . it held signal flares , tinned water , condensed milk , emergency rations and a first aid kit .\nlanding gear : the landing gear was a two - stage retractable type with the main wheels retracting vertically and then backwards into the inner engine nacelles taking part of their fairings with them . retraction was powered by electric motors with alternative hand operation . twin castoring retractable tailwheels type dunlop ws30 . in order to accommodate the raf bomber command requirement to shorten the take - off and landing , a very long landing gear was utilized making the aircraft prone to swing violently on take - off and landing . the undercarriage retraction motors were originally located inside the nacelle , but were later relocated inside the fuselage to allow for manual retraction in the event of motor failure . the electric retraction motors often failed , being wholly inadequate for the task . the stirling had one of the largest tires , manufactured by dunlop , on a british aircraft at the time .\n40 b . is were converted in production to\nwarwick asr mark i\nconfiguration , retaining defensive armament , and hauling two airdropped lindholme rescue kits , each with an inflatable raft and survival kit , entering service in august 1943 . they were followed by production asr . is , in three\nstages\n:\nthe earliest asr aircraft were conversions that were equipped to carry two sets of lindholme rescue equipment , a set of ten boxes that carried life rafts and supplies . in this configuration the aircraft was given the designation warwick bomber / asr . 40 or 50 were produced , some by converting the existing b . mk is .\n* the wellesley was likely a futuristic - looking machine when it was introduced , and indeed it retains a certain sci - fi\nretropunk\nlook in the 21st century . it had twin cockpits , one forward and one aft , connected by a cabin with windows on each side . it was powered by a bristol pegasus xx air - cooled nine - cylinder radial engine providing 690 kw ( 925 hp ) , driving a de havilland - hamilton three - bladed variable - pitch propeller . it had taildragger landing gear , the tailwheel being fixed , the single - wheel main gear pivoting from the wings towards the fuselage .\nwhy include inflatable dinghies ? . the airborne lifeboats , by their very nature , were dropped from aircraft , and in most cases to assist ditched airmen that were adrift in their aircraft dinghies . some explanation would have sufficed , but it is thought that more in depth details of design , development and construction was required to supplement the associated development of airborne lifeboats . airborne lifeboats were devised from observations of inflatable dinghies , and indeed the inflatable dinghy in the form of the air dropped lindholme gear was the eventual demise of the airborne lifeboat . raf marine craft also carried inflatable dinghies , and two types of marine craft were designed to carry airborne lifeboats - both for the same purpose .\nthe type 447 windsor had the geodetic construction of the wellesley , wellington , and warwick , with a skinning of a steel wire mesh - based composite material . it had taildragger landing gear ; unusually , there were four main gear , one in each engine nacelle , all with single wheels . the type 447 had a wingspan of 35 . 71 meters ( 117 feet 2 inches ) , a length of 23 . 43 meters ( 76 feet 10 inches ) , and an empty weight of 17 , 750 kilograms ( 28 , 605 pounds ) . top speed was about 510 kph ( 315 mph / 275 kt ) , with a ceiling of 8 , 300 meters ( 27 , 250 feet ) .\nninety more gr . mk iis were ordered for meteorological duties , although only fourteen were ever built . as with the gr . mk ii , the meteorological version never entered squadron service . the fourteen aircraft had their nose gun removed and replaced with a wide - vision glass nose , all bombing gear was removed to reduce weight and an oxygen system was installed .\nhmmmmmmmmmmm ! some say upwind , some say downwind . . . . . . . . suck it and sea ! ( i don ' t feel bad about not remembering maybe that ' s why we always carried two sets of lindholme on sar aircraft . thanks shackman , the 200 / 400 ft rings a bell - i always wondered why they didn ' t use 300ft each side of the liferaft ?\nwhen rfd gq , the equipment manufactures , heard that we were hanging lindholme mk3 on to our valetta , they very kindly sent us a few brochures out together with the offer to come out to malta to give us a hand to mount it under the aircraft . the offer was gently refused by the mod but i kept one of the brochures and have cobbled together bits and pieces from it that are relevant to this query .\ni ' ll give you a clue . . ! 140 ' . . . 140kts . . . after faffing around with flame floats for a while . .\nbeam , capt , when i say mark drop one flame float . .\none gone !\nnot yet you eejit !\nad infinitum . . pretty sure the lindholme was dropped upwind so that the ms9 would drift down towards the survivor ( s ) . happy days ! sv\nas a result , the wellington b . ia was followed by the\nwellington bomber ic\n, with 2 , 685 built into 1942 by the main factory at weybridge ( 1 , 052 ) , plus the shadow factories at chester ( 1 , 583 ) , and blackpool ( 50 ) . it had the updated armament fit , larger main gear wheels , plus better electrical and hydraulic systems . with refinements in production techniques , the complexity of the geodetic airframe became much less of an obstacle to manufacture .\n* the\nwellington bomber mark ii\nwas introduced in october 1940 , the primary change being replacement of the pegasus xviii engines with rolls - royce merlin x water - cooled vee - 16 engines , providing 855 kw ( 1 , 145 hp ) , instead of radials . it also had a larger tailplane , and beefed - up landing gear . an initial prototype , the\ntype 298\n, had been flown before the outbreak of war . 401 b . is were built , all at weybridge .\n* a viking 1b , the 158th viking built , became the prototype of the military\nvalletta\n, named after the maltese city , this machine performing its initial flight on 30 june 1947 , with mutt summers at the controls . the valleta featured more powerful hercules 230 radials with 1 , 475 kw ( 1 , 975 hp ) each ; a double cargo door , with an inset passenger door , on the left rear side of the fuselage ; a reinforced floor ; and longer - stroke landing gear . 211 were delivered to the raf as\nvalletta c . 1\nutility transports , capable of carrying 34 equipped troops , 20 paratroops , or cargo .\nvirgo , my memory , like most on this thread it seems , is somewhat hazy ! but something in the deep , dark , recesses of my brain is telling me that the sop for lindholme / asra drops from the andover was downwind . i do however remember the practice drops we used to do off the coast of masirah marking the pattern with smoke floats and marine markers . on one occasion the nav called\nmark\nand my mate , stood in the door with a float in his hand , replied\ndid you call nav ?\nbefore realizing it was a command . you can probably guess what his name was ! you also had to remember to take the\nsafety\npins out before the drop , very embarrasing if the ms 9 didn ' t inflate ! !\nthe b . 9 / 32 prototype , the vickers\ntype 271\n, took to the air for the first time on 15 june 1936 , the pilot being joseph\nmutt\nsummers . it was a midwing monoplane with twin bristol pegasus x radial engines , providing 680 kw ( 915 hp ) each and driving three - bladed variable - pitch props ; retractable taildragger landing gear ; and a fabric - covered geodesic airframe . the prototype was unarmed , though it was designed to have a single machine gun on a flexible mount in nose , tail , and dorsal positions . the prototype crashed after a flight structural failure on on 19 april 1937 , the pilot being thrown out and parachuting to safety , the flight engineer being killed .\nfollowing end of production of the valletta , vickers then built a crew trainer variant , the\nvarsity t . 1\n, as per air ministry specification t . 13 / 48 , the initial prototype performing its first flight on 17 july 1949 . the varsity was a major redesign , with tricycle landing gear ; wider wingspan ; a longer fuselage , with a longer nose , stretching length again by 71 centimeters ( 28 inches ) to 20 . 57 meters ( 67 feet 6 inches ) ; a ventral pannier for a bombardier and practice bombs ; and hercules 264 engines with 1 , 455 kw ( 1 , 950 hp ) each . the maximum number of people carried was up to 11 , though it was generally less than that , the number depending on the specific training requirement .\n* following trials fit of bristol hercules iii radials , with 1 , 065 kw ( 1 , 425 hp ) each , on a b . ic , production moved on to the\nwellington bomber mark iii\n, with hercules xi radials , providing 1 , 185 kw ( 1 , 590 hp ) each . the b . iii also featured de - icing gear , plus - - following initial production - - a new fn mark 20 tail turret , with four 7 . 7 - millimeter machine guns , instead of two . a total of 1 , 519 b . iiis was built at weybridge ( 2 ) , chester ( 737 ) , and blackpool ( 780 ) . the b . iii was the backbone of raf bomber command until the four - engine\nheavies\nsuch as the lancaster arrived .\nto test the aerodynamics and controllability of the new type , the s . 31 was designed as the half - scale prototype with a powerplant of four 90 hp ( 67 kw ) pobjoy niagara iii radial engines . the short s . 31 made its first flight on 19 september 1938 and revealed good overall handling characteristics . short had originally decided on an incidence of 3\u00b0 giving the best possible cruise performance , but the raf asked that the incidence be increased to 6 . 5\u00b0 , being more concerned with improving take - off performance than the cruising speed . in order to accommodate the raf request for increased wing incidence a major re - design of the central fuselage would have normally be undertaken , but because of time restraints , short decided on a\nquick fix\nby lengthening the main landing gear legs to give a higher ground angle .\nvariant built mod notes _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ viking 3 prototypes . viking 1a 19 initial production , with wellington wings . viking 1 29 ? metal wings , 12 as raf\nviking c . 2\n. viking 1b 113 fuselage stretch . nene viking - 1 temporary jet viking 1b conversion . 164 subtotal valletta c . 1 211 military utility transport . valletta c . 2 11 military vip transport with more fuel . valletta t . 3 40 crew trainer . valletta t . 4 - 18 t . 3 with radar nose . 262 subtotal varsity t . 1 163 crew trainer with tricycle landing gear , etc . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 589 total _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nyour web browser is not enabled for javascript . some features of worldcat will not be available .\nyour list has reached the maximum number of items . please create a new list with a new name ;

gunned nose , ventral and tail turrets . the initial maximum take - off weight had to be between 48 , 000 lbs ( 21769 kg ) and 53 , 000 lbs ( 24036 kg ) , but with the capability of that figure being increased to around 65 , 000 lbs ( 29478 kg ) . the weapons bays also had to be compatible with all standard raf bomb ordnance in use at that time . the specification also demanded that the aircraft be capable of lifting off a 500 ft ( 152 . 4 m ) runway and is able to clear 50 ft ( 15 . 2 m ) trees at the end , with the wingspan not exceeding 100 ft ( 30 . 48 m ) .\nseveral companies submitted their designs to the air ministry , these being armstrong whitworth , short brothers and supermarine . the armstrong whitworth design was rejected , and both short brothers and supermarine were asked to construct prototypes . supermarine ' s type 317 prototype was still under construction when the factory was bombed by the luftwaffe early in the war . the factory and prototype were virtually destroyed , causing supermarine to withdraw from the competition leaving only the short brothers design .\nat the end of 1938 , this change was incorporated on the short s . 31 prototype . other changes included the installation of four 115 hp ( 86 kw ) pobjoy niagara iv radial engines . in order to address longitudinal control problems horn - balanced elevators were installed but these were soon replaced by a larger tailplane with conventional elevators .\na short s . 29 stirling mk iii ( w7455 oj - b ) based in mildenhall in early 1942 with no . 149 squadron . later in the war this particular aircraft was lost to a night intruder over great thurlow .\nas 1942 progressed , no . 7 squadron ( with its stirling ' s ) and other bomber command squadrons were transferred to form the nucleus of the newly formed no . 8 ( pathfinder ) group . by the end of the year , the new mk . iii stirling ' s , equipped with 1 , 675 hp bristol hercules xvi engines and a new dorsal turret design , were entering service and slowly replacing the mk i ' s .\nby late 1943 , german flak defences were inflicting serious losses to the stirlings , mostly due to its low ceiling caused by its restricted wing span . it was soon evident that such losses could not continue and air marshal harris , was forced to withdraw the aircraft from operations . by early 1944 , as supplies of the avro lancaster became available , most of the stirling squadron ' s began to re - equipped with this type . although , it would not be until september 8 , 1944 that no . 149 squadron , flew last operation stirling sorties against le havre .\nthe stirling never lived up to it potential as a great bomber ( in no small part to the raf bomber commands requirement changes ) but it a proved very popular aircraft with its crews , who dubbed it the\nfighter bomber\ndue to its excellent manoeuvrability and rugged construction . on one occasion four german night fighters attacked a stirling from no . 218 squadron on a night raid in 1942 . manoeuvring for its life , the stirling managed to shoot down three of the attackers before returning to base safely , although a little battered . as a result of its high wing loading , the stirling had a high roll rate and was manoeuvrable enough to out - turn the junkers ju 88 and bf 110 night fighters .\nthe stirling mk v transport was the last version of the aircraft built for raf transport command . this was configured to carry 40 troops , or 20 fully equipped paratroops , or 12 stretchers and 14 seated casualties . it could be used also for loads such as two jeeps with trailers , or a jeep with a field gun , trailer and ammunition . the mk vs were the last stirlings in service , being gradually replaced by the avro york , with the last of them withdrawn from use in 1946 . production on belfast built mk v totalled 160 aircraft . during 1947 airtech limited of thame , oxon , converted 12 stirling mk vs for use by a belgian civil operator under the name silver stirling .\nofficial service figures credit the stirling with 18 , 440 sorties flown in which 27 , 821 tons ( 28268 tonnes ) of bombs were dropped and 20 , 000 mines were laid , for the loss of 769 aircraft .\nmanufacturer : short brothers ( rochester & bedford ) limited based in rochester , kent , england . the company was founded in 1898 by the brothers eustace and oswald short , originally building spherical balloons but they later concentrated on the building of flying boats . in 1936 , short brothers limited and harland & wolff limited ( shipbuilders ) of queen ' s island , belfast , northern ireland , formed a partnership under the name short & harland limited . also built by austin motors limited in longbridge . production would eventually be dispersed to over 20 different factories .\npowerplant : four 1 , 675 hp ( 1250 kw ) bristol hercules xvi 14 -

bladed de havilland hydromatic type 55 / 10 variable pitch , constant speed full - feathering airscrew with a diameter of 13 ft 6 in ( 4 . 11 m ) .\nperformance : maximum speed 270 mph ( 435 km / h ) at 14 , 500 ft ( 4420 m ) ; economical cruising speed of 233 mph ( 375 km / h ) at 11 , 000 ft ( 3355 m ) ; service ceiling 17 , 000 ft ( 5180 m ) ; initial rate of climb 800 ft ( 245 m ) per minute .\nfuel capacity : seven cylindrical self - sealing ( except the leading - edge tank ) fuel tanks in each wing outboard of the wing bomb cells , giving a total of 2 , 254 imperial gallons ( 2 , 707 us gallons or 10246 litres ) , plus provision for 220 imperial gallons ( 264 us gallons or 1000 litres ) of auxiliary fuel in tanks installed in each of the wing bomb cells for an additional total of 440 imperial gallons ( 528 us gallons or 2000 litres ) . the systems could be interconnected if necessary by operating an inter - system balance cock in the centre section .\noil capacity : each engine had its own oil tank with a capacity of 33 imperial gallons ( 40 us gallons or 150 litres ) .\nrange : 590 miles ( 950 km ) on internal fuel with a bombload of 14 , 000 lbs ( 6350 kg ) . 2 , 010 miles ( 3237 km ) on normal internal fuel with a bombload of 3 , 500 lbs ( 1587 kg ) . ferry range ( clean ) of over 3 , 000 miles ( 4831 km ) was possible using auxiliary fuel tanks . range on the short s . 29 stirling was one of its major weaknesses . while it was capable of carrying a tremendous amount of ordnance , it could only do this a very short distance . as a result , on most missions to get the desired range , bombload was sacrificed .\nweights & loadings : empty ( clean ) 43 , 200 lbs ( 19595 kg ) , empty ( equipped ) 59 , 400 lbs ( 26939 kg ) with a maximum take - off weight of 70 , 000 lbs ( 31751 kg ) . wing loading 48 lbs / sq ft ( 234 kg / sq m ) ; power loading 10 . 6 lbs / hp ( 4 . 85 kg / hp ) .\ndimensions : span 99 ft 1 in ( 30 . 20 m ) ; length 87 ft 3 in ( 26 . 59 m ) ; height 22 ft 9 in ( 6 . 93 m ) ; wing area 1 , 460 . 0 sq ft ( 135 . 63 sq m ) .\narmament : a total of eight 7 . 7 mm ( 0 . 303 in ) browning machine - guns plus up to 14 , 000 lbs ( 6350 kg ) of bombs . disposable stores were carried in a lower fuselage weapons bay rated at 11 , 000 lbs ( 4989 kg ) and in 6 wing cells each rated at 500 lbs ( 227 kg ) . normal loadout usually consisted of 2 , 000 lbs ( 907 kg ) armour - piercing bombs and / or 500 lbs ( 227 kg ) general - purpose high explosive bombs . the main bomb - bay in the fuselage is formed of two main longitudinal girders with arched members to the main floor . the bay is 42 ft 7 in ( 13 . 0 m ) long and fitted with six hinged doors . internal stowage for bombs is also provided in the centre - section inboard of the inner engine nacelles . a bomb overload of up to 25 , 500 lbs ( 11567 kg ) was possible but it reduced the range considerably .\n2 \u00d7 7 . 7 mm ( 0 . 303 in ) browning trainable forward -

wing cantilever monoplane type with a two - spar all - metal structure similar to that of the short\nempire\nflying boat . gouge type trailing - edge flaps with chord equal to 48 percent of the total chord . the leading - edges of the wings are armoured and are provided with barrage - balloon cable cutters . the fuselage is a rectangular section with rounded corners with an all - metal structure built up of transverse frames covered with aluminium - alloy sheet with intercoastal stiffeners and all joints joggled flush with flush riveting . the tail unit is a cantilever monoplane type with a single fin and rudder similar in form and construction to those of the\nempire\nflying boats .\nhistory : first flight ( s . 31 research aircraft ) 19 september 1938 ; first flight ( s . 29 prototype ) 14 may 1939 ; first flight ( production mk i ) 7 may 1940 ; final operational sortie 8 september 1944 ; final production ( mk v ) november 1945 ; withdrawn from service ( raf ) 1946 .\nthe vickers warwick was one of many examples of promising aircraft whose development was delayed by the choice of engines . it was originally designed as a twin - engined heavy bomber , and like the avro manchester was to use the rolls royce vulture . when the vulture failed to live up to expectations avro installed four merlin engines in the manchester , to produce the excellent avro lancaster , but vickers decided to keep the twin - engined design , and searched for more powerful engines . eventually over 800 warwicks would be produced , powered by either the pratt & whitney double wasp or the bristol centaurus .\nthe vickers warwick was developed as a twin - engined heavy bomber to satisfy specification b . 1 / 35 . this was a thoroughly un - ambitious specification , calling for an aircraft powered by two 1 , 000hp engines and capable of carrying 2 , 000lb of bombs over 1 , 500 miles at a speed of 195mph \u2013 by the time it entered service the wellington medium bomber could carry twice the bomb load , had a range of 2 , 550 miles and a speed of 235mph , and the wellington was powered by two 1 , 050hp bristol pegasus engines , giving it only 100hp more than envisaged for the b . 1 / 35 .\nthe warwick was developed alongside the final version of the wellington . although the specification for the wellington had been issued in 1932 ( b . 9 / 32 ) , it had taken four years for the first prototype to make its maiden flight ( 15 june 1936 ) . this early version of the aircraft was then virtually abandoned , and a complete redesign was begun . the redesigned b . 9 / 32 became the vickers type 285 , while the prototype of the warwick was the type 284 . structurally the wellington was essentially a cut - down version of the warwick . as a result the two aircraft had many components in common , especially in the geodesic members .\nthe first vickers design , of july 1935 , was powered by two bristol hercules heism engines . the company was awarded a contract to produce one prototype on 7 october 1935 . this prototype ( serial number k8178 ) would not make its maiden flight until 13 august 1939 . by this point the aircraft was powered by rolls royce vulture engines , a complex piece of machinery that merged two inline v engines and failed to produce as much power as had been hoped , while also proving very unreliable .\na second prototype was ordered on 2 july 1937 ( serial number l9704 ) . this aircraft eventually made its maiden flight in april 1940 , by which time it was powered by a pair of bristol centaurus engines . it had been hoped to use the napier sabre , but that engine failed to materialise in time , and when it did become available was reserved for fighter aircraft .\nby the time the second prototype took to the air , the warwick was no longer needed as a heavy bomber , that role having been taken by the new four - engined heavies . despite that , on 3 january 1941 vickers was given a contract to produce 150 warwick mk is , powered by the pratt & whitney double wasp and 100 warwick mk iis , powered by the centaurus . only 16 mk . is and 1 mk . ii were ever completed .\nthe warwick was eventually produced in significant numbers . in january 1943 it was decided to turn it into an air - sea rescue aircraft . a total of 369 asr warwicks were produced . another 328 warwicks were produced as general reconnaissance aircraft for coastal command , but only a handful were ever used in combat . another 114 were produced as transport aircraft , and by the time production finished 845 had been built .\non 3 january 1941 150 warwick b . mk is , powered by the pratt & whitney double wasp r - 2800 - s1a4 - g engine were ordered . of these aircraft only sixteen were completed as bombers , for by the time the warwick was ready in the spring of 1942 the need for it no longer existed \u2013 the avro lancaster had already begun to enter service . some of the warwick b . mk is were used for service tests during the second half of 1942 , before most were converted to the asr / bomber role ."]}

way flight . however , instead of just another mundane transaction , regular flyers with the airline can purchase an airbaltic - branded samsonite suitcase that comes in two sizes ( eur169 and eur181 respectively ) , and carry it as free checked luggage on an unlimited number of airbaltic flights for twelve months . passengers are required to register for airbaltic\u2019s balticmiles frequent flyer program in order to receive a personalised \u2018free baggage tag\u2019 with their full name and balticmiles number , which must be attached to the samsonite suitcase and correspond with the name on the flight ticket .\nairbaltic is followed in the global top 10 ranking by copa airlines , azul , japan airlines , all nippon airways , finnair , tam , austrian airlines , hawaiian airlines and lot .\nhe said that the state has started looking for a strategic investor for airbaltic , and ideally it would be a large airline . results in this respect can be expected next year .\nairbaltic had been seen as favouring the a319neo as its narrowbody replacement . airbus has heavily criticised the cseries , but so far airbus has not attracted too many buyers for its a319neo .\nja sap\u0146o k\u013c\u016bt par pilotu , pasteidzies ! pieteik\u0161an\u0101s airbaltic training pilotu akad\u0113mijas rudens grupai ilgs tikai l\u012bdz 9 . j\u016blijam . bet tikm\u0113r vari atrast atbildes uz visiem interes\u0113jo\u0161ajiem jaut\u0101jumiem m\u016bsu blog\u0101 :\nfor the summer season of 2018 airbaltic has added malaga ( spain ) , lisbon ( portugal ) , split ( croatia ) , bordeaux ( france ) and gdansk ( poland ) .\ndiscounted tikets , tv sets , cars , holiday houses taking its \u2018travel megastore\u2019 concept quite literally , airbaltic in the past two years has held several onboard retail campaigns in which it offered passengers the option to buy discounted flight tickets , flat screen tv sets and even a custom - designed mini cooper car in airbaltic colors and sporting the text \u201ci love flyin . \u201d\nairbaltic is based in latvia and operates flights from its main hub located in riga . it is a latvian flag airline and a low - cost carrier that was established in 1995 .\nnyras came in to airbaltic at a time when the survival of the airline was in doubt . their innovative approach was the start of a successful five - year programme to return to sustained profitability . core to our long - term plan was their realignment of our aircraft selection process that allowed airbaltic to secure a benchmark deal that has helped underwrite the airline\u2019s future .\nairbaltic serves 60 destinations from its home base in riga , latvia , spanning europe , scandinavia , russia , cis and the middle east . for summer 2013 , airbaltic has introduced six new destinations \u2013 prague ( czech republic ) , heviz - balaton ( hungary ) , olbia ( sardinia , italy ) , rijeka ( croatia ) , larnaca ( cyprus ) , and malta .\nthe financial - - provisional data show that in august 2017 , the latvian airline airbaltic carried more than 380 000 passengers or roughly 20 % more than in the same period of 2016 .\nmartin gauss , chief executive officer of airbaltic : \u201cwe put very high focus on our customers and the service they receive before , during and after their flight . user friendly mobile booking services , a wide variety of inflight meals and an exceptional customer service is a crucial part for expansion of our business . airbaltic celebrates this global recognition together with the awarded crew members . \u201d\ndespite its hybrid features , airbaltic\u2019s chief commercial officer tero taskila says the airline\u2019s cost per average seat kilometer are on par with the likes of easyjet and norwegian and 30 to 40 percent lower than finnair and sas . interestingly , airbaltic sees turkish airlines , which has also established an extensive network in europec coupled with a low cost base , as one of its main emerging competitors .\nlatvia\u2019s national carrier airbaltic will gradually renew its fleet with cs300 aircraft made by canadian bombardier and will sell its boeing 737 planes , the company\u2019s ceo martin gauss told the press leta on friday .\nthe airline has been state owned since november 2011 . airbaltic has codeshare agreements with some members of the skyteam and star alliance . the airline runs its own frequent flyer program named baltic miles .\nwant to read more about the arrival of the cs300 ? stop by the airbaltic blog to find out how we\u2019re preparing for the big moment and be the first to know about cs300 news .\nan airbaltic spokesperson told capa that the company aims to sign a firm agreement with bombardier \u201cshortly\u201d and that pre - delivery payments will come from the company\u2019s own cash flow . airbaltic corp\u2019s supervisory board , which includes members of its primary shareholder , the latvian state ( which has owned 99 . 8 % of the company\u2019s shares since the end of 2011 ) , has endorsed the cseries order .\n\u201cbombardier\u2019s cs300 airliners are integral to the execution of airbaltic\u2019s business development strategy horizon 2021 and fleet optimisation plan , \u201d said gauss . \u201cwith its longer range capabilities , lower fuel burn and reduced noise emissions compared to other airliners in its segment , the cs300 aircraft will enable airbaltic to open new routes and connect people all across europe , while offering passengers an unparalleled in - flight experience .\nairbaltic has gone through three main stages of development since the beginning of the 21st century . from 2000 to 2003 , capacity growth ( ask ) was modest and revenue growth more or less matched capacity . over this period , the fleet grew from six to nine aircraft . next came a period of rapid expansion , with airbaltic growing its capacity almost three times more than the market by 2008 .\naccording to previous media reports , latvijas krajbanka and snoras are airbaltic creditors , investbank is associated with snoras shareholders\n, taurus asset management fund limited is one of the bas shareholders , where russian citizen andrei rudeshko is the actual beneficiary . transatlantic holdings company is the entity that previously announced buying 59 , 110 airbaltic shares ( the so - called sas stake ) for eur 9 , 622 million .\nwhen their current business were going well , the former flylal owners showed little interest in confronting airbaltic , but when they faced problems , their interest in legal action would suddenly revive , vanags suggested .\nbusiness class : local , organic catering , nespresso coffee besides its focus on transit traffic , other \u2018hybrid\u2019 features of airbaltic include a separate business class cabin , airport lounge and a frequent flyer program .\nduring the first six months of 2017 , airbaltic has carried a total of 1 565 462 passengers throughout its network spanning europe , scandinavia , russia , cis and the middle east , which is the second highest number of passengers in the history of the airline . airbaltic\u2019s improved connectivity , efficient aircraft and low cost base will further enable to continue its expansion as no 1 carrier of the baltic region .\nairbaltic has a strong share of seats at its riga hub , with 61 % . nevertheless , it faces growing competition from foreign competitors , in particular lccs . ryanair is number two at riga , with 18 % of seats , and wizz air number three with 4 % . lufthansa and aeroflot , fourth and fifth respectively , are both codeshare partners of airbaltic , as is ninth - placed transaero .\nleta reported that last year airbaltic performed 43 , 000 flights and carried 2 . 6 million passengers . the average load factor was 71 % , and the average yield per passenger was \u20ac94 . 2 .\ngauss also points out former airbaltic ceo bertolt flick ' s contribution in the past . without flick ' s efforts , the airline would not have been as strong as it is now , notes gauss .\nthe latvian cabinet of ministers has approved plans to sell 20 % of airbaltic to german investor ralf dieter montag - girmes for eur 52 million and agreed to invest a further eur 80 million in the airline . the total of eur 132 million of fresh capital for the latvian carrier will spur its horizon 2021 business plan and fleet modernisation . , informed bc vice president of corporate communications at airbaltic janis vanags .\nlatvian national airline airbaltic will appeal against a lithuanian court ruling that it must pay substantial compensation to a bankrupt former competitor , company spokesman janis vanags told ltv ' s rita panorama news show friday morning .\na previous lithuanian court decision in 2008 even went so far as to order the seizure of airbaltic ' s headquarters at riga airport - though the ruling was completely unenforceable as it was outside lithuanian jurisdiction .\nthe problem is that airbaltic\u2019s cask has been growing since 2009 and it remains higher than its rask ( calculated using total revenues ) . the good news for airbaltic is that cask growth is slowing and that rask has also grown since 2009 , so that the gap between the two is narrowing . the company\u2019s 2013 plan sees a further narrowing of the gap , based on stable rask and a fall in cask .\nairbaltic\u2019s short - haul focus is reflected in the concentration of its weekly frequencies around routes of a roughly two hour flight duration . of its 42 destinations , it serves almost half ( 22 ) with less than a daily frequency and only nine with a frequency of twice daily or more . local capital cities helsinki , vilnius and tallinn are airbaltic\u2019s most highly served destinations , each with a four times daily schedule .\nairbaltic , latvia ' s flag carrier airline , is\nstable like never before\n, as it posted a profit of \u20ac19m last year , transport minister uldis augulis ( greens ) told latvian television thursday .\nthe airline hopes to receive its first cs300 in the final quarter of 2015 . the bulk of the firm order for 10 of the aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2016 , an airbaltic spokesperson told capa .\nmartin gauss , chief executive officer of airbaltic : \u201cour customers can rely on a consistently punctual service . airbaltic team is extremely proud to have been ranked as the world\u2019s most punctual airline for the second year running . we have history of excelling in punctuality , but with around 94 flights out of 100 arriving on or ahead of schedule , we have managed to maintain our position at the very top for two years . \u201d\non a city pair basis , airbaltic already faces lcc competition on three of its top 10 routes : the scandinavian capitals stockholm , copenhagen and oslo . on stockholm , both ryanair and norwegian are present , while these two are joined by wizz air on oslo . airbaltic faces competition from all three principal russian operators on riga to moscow ( although it also has codeshare agreements with two of them , aeroflot and transaero ) .\nlatvian national airline airbaltic is set to become an all bombardier operator following its decision to replace its aging 737 fleet with bombardier\u2019s cseries as it forges ahead with a restructuring plan to return to profitability . airbaltic has signed a letter of intent ( loi ) to acquire 10 cs300 jetliners and take purchase rights on a further 10 cs300s with the first of the new aircraft scheduled to arrive at the airline\u2019s base in riga in 4q2015 ."]}

called\nprivate labeling\nis nothing new \u2014 grocery stores and big - box retailers have been increasingly pushing their in - house brands \u2014 this is a much bigger deal .\nthat ' s because the growth in retail is all going to be online , and amazon owns online . it already accounts for half of all sales growth in u . s . e - commerce .\nso amazon ' s move into consumer packaged goods gives it even more opportunity to flex its muscle with suppliers . that means giving its own products better placement on its site and undercutting competitors on pricing .\nthe move also offers amazon the chance to pad its bottom line \u2014 something jeff bezos hasn ' t traditionally been willing or able to do . private - label brands typically carry higher profit margins , in part because the companies selling them don ' t put big marketing campaigns behind them .\nthink of the damage amazon already does to competitors as a low - margin business . now imagine what happens when it starts generating real profits on stuff like cereal and soap .\nthe move is also a way to increase the power of amazon prime , the $ 99 - a - year unlimited shipping program that fuels amazon ' s retail growth .\nprime customers spend more on amazon than non - members and are more loyal , too . by adding another perk , amazon can make its best customers even more loyal .\nthere ' s risk here , of course . some amazon - branded products have already flopped , including its amazon element diapers , which were pulled for design flaws shortly after launch .\nnow amazon is selling its own brand of products that people will eat and drink . so a bad experience with that stuff , let alone a safety issue , can do harm to amazon ' s well - cultivated brand .\nbut amazon sits on so much data that it has a good chance at getting at least some of these new bets right .\njuul is a $ 15 billion company . so what\u2019s so wrong with silicon valley investing in sin ?\nthe daily -

profile gene testing companies that operate in california include 23andme , founded by the wife of a top google billionaire , and navigenics , based in redwood shores .\nwhether the consumer genomics services are indeed medical tests or \u2014 as 23andme contends \u2014 merely informational , is not just a regulatory issue . it is a business question , too . and the two leading companies in the business , 23andme and navigenics , have different views of the matter .\nthe top 10 competitors in navigenics ' competitive set are 23andme , family tree dna , complete genomics , reprogenetics , recombine , on - q - ity , genomic express , courtagen , gnubio and gene by gene . together they have raised over 850 . 5m between their estimated 973 employees .\nto find out , the cleveland clinic ' s eng recruited 44 people \u2014 22 patients in her family cancer clinic and their spouses \u2014 for a family health history and a saliva test from one of those genomic services , navigenics , to calculate their risk for colon cancer and breast or prostate cancer .\ndigging deeper , the researchers found that some of the individual risk factors were strikingly different . for psoriasis , 23andme reported a risk factor of 4 . 02 ( four times greater ) for one individual , while navigenics reported only a 1 . 25 risk factor ( 25 percent greater ) , a threefold difference .\n23andme cofounder anne wojcicki and navigenics cofounder david agus both agree with the recommendations . \u201cthere is a distinct need for transparency and quality in genetic association studies , \u201d says agus . \u201cwe are giving critical information to individuals to help them with their personal health . that information needs to be correct , or we have done a disservice . \u201d\n\u201cwell , that\u2019s because it comes with a time limit \u2013 the navigenics web -

it world \u201cbest practices\u201d winner in 2005 , runs one of the largest high - throughput affymetrix genotyping centers in the country . in the video , stephan explains the basic navigenics premise : \u201cyou would get on the website and you would order a saliva collection kit . you would then return that to our laboratory , where we would sift through the entire human blueprint you\u2019ve provided to us . \u201d\nventer , the founder of the j . craig venter institute in san diego , ca , and collaborators from that institute and from scripps translational science institute in la jolla , ca , sent the saliva of five individuals\u2013they don\u2019t say whose spit they used\u2013to 23andme and navigenics , two major online dna - testing companies both based in the san francisco bay area . venter\u2019s team then analyzed and compared the results to see if the sites provided consistent information .\none controversy is that some gene testing web sites take orders directly from patients without a doctor ' s involvement . ( navigenics says it uses a doctor . ) california law requires that a licensed physician order any lab tests , including genetic tests , says karen nickel , chief of laboratory field services for the california department of public health . all lab tests must also be validated for accuracy and medical utility , according to state requirements , nickel says .\nnavigenics and 23andme attracted the most focus of the companies receiving the letters . both are based in california\u2019s silicon valley and both offer services , costing from $ 1 , 000 to $ 2 , 500 , that scan a person\u2019s whole genome , providing a variety of information about the risk of various diseases . google is a backer of 23andme , and one of the company\u2019s founders , anne wojcicki , is married to a google co - founder , sergey brin .\nthe venter study notes that , in some cases , companies define the average population disease risk differently . \u201cnavigenics distinguishes population disease risk between men and women ( for example , men are more likely to have heart attacks than women ) , whereas 23andme primarily takes into account age ( for example , incidence of rheumatoid arthritis increases with age ) , \u201d the authors write . \u201cthis ambiguity in the definition of a \u2018population\u2019 underscores the caution one must exercise when interpreting absolute risk results . \u201d\nnow , i agree with steve murphy about a lot of things , but i totally diverge from him on this . having been tested by both 23andme and navigenics , i can say that , yes , it ' s complicated . but frankly i don ' t need a doctor , and i don ' t want a doctor , to facilitate my understanding of what my dna means . yes , there are some medical implications , but these are hardly live - or - die moments .\nas the years pass , it ' s only natural to start worrying about how your health may change . but until recently , we ' ve only been able to gauge what the future may bring by looking at our current health and family history . enter navigenics , a silicon valley - based personal genetics company dedicated to helping you understand your genetic dispositions to 28 common conditions , from alzheimers to breast cancer , so that you ' re able to take preventative measures to ensure a long , healthy life .\nas for downloading your data off - line : sure , you can do it , but it\u2019s worth noting that navigenics actively discourages this ( at least for their snp chip package ) . their view seems to be that too much knowledge could be scary or dangerous for ignorant consumers ; well , that , and they don\u2019t want you taking your raw data off to be analysed by a third party . it\u2019s a deeply regressive , paternalistic approach compared to the \u201cknowledge is power\u201d perspective advocated by both 23andme and decodeme .\nthe results of our study are consistent with those found by heald et al . , 14 which reported poor concordance between risk assessment methods for three conditions tested in navigenics pgt ( breast cancer , prostate cancer , and colon cancer ) . we expand on their work by analyzing more conditions included in the pgt panel and in a larger sample of individuals . the finding that overall these risk estimates do not agree for most conditions tested implies that these two risk assessment methods may not provide equivalent risk information for most individuals .\nin contrast to our findings , bloss et al . 13 reported association between navigenics pgt risk estimates and family history for a subset of five conditions . two of these five conditions ( type 2 diabetes and graves disease ) were included in our analysis and were found to show poor concordance between pgt and family history risk estimates . differences between our findings are likely explained by a significantly lower prevalence of family history reports in our cohort and a difference in sample size , as well as different statistical methodologies used to assess association and concordance .\nthe agreement between family history and navigenics pgt risk assessment is shown in figure 1a , b and table 2 . overall , the two methods of risk assessment had poor concordance , as shown by the calculated kappa statistic ( \u03ba ) values . there were no conditions for either males or females that showed more than slight agreement between risk assessments ( i . e . , had a \u03ba value > 0 . 20 ; table 1 ) , aside from deep vein thrombosis in females ( \u03ba = 0 . 201 ) . similarly , when combining males and females into a single sample for the 18 conditions that overlapped between the sexes , there were no conditions that showed significant agreement between risk assessment methods ( see supplementary table s2 online ) .\nto me , this reflects as much a cultural disagreement as a legal or regulatory one . that is , there is the assumption in the states ' letters that , because genetic information has medical implications , the dissemination of this information must fall under their jurisdiction .\nbut there are , in fact , all sorts of areas in life that have medical implications that we don ' t consider the province of government \u2013 a pregnancy test , most obviously . we neither want nor assume that doctors should have a gatekeeper role in establishing whether we are or are not pregnant , nor do we look to the state to protect us from that information . pregnancy is a part of life , and it has all sorts of implications and ramifications . so too with dna .\nwhat ' s more , when i have shared my results with physicians , they ' re largely greeted with a shrug . i don ' t want to\ntrust\na doctor , no matter how skilled or well trained , i want the access to my genetic data just as i want to know , without government approval or physician filtering , all sorts of information about myself .\nthis is * my * data , not a doctor ' s . please , send in your regulators when a doctor needs to cut me open , or even draw my blood . regulation should protect me from bodily harm and injury , not from information that ' s mine to begin with .\nuse of and / or registration on any portion of this site constitutes acceptance of our user agreement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) and privacy policy and cookie statement ( updated 5 / 25 / 18 ) . your california privacy rights . the material on this site may not be reproduced , distributed , transmitted , cached or otherwise used , except with the prior written permission of cond\u00e9 nast . ad choices .\ncalifornia becomes the second big state to crack down on companies that offer gene tests to consumers via the web . this week , the state health department sent cease -

to - consumer product .\nventer\u2019s group found that the raw genetic sequencing data supplied by each company was almost 100 percent consistent . that is , for the 500 , 000 to 1 million genetic markers tested for each person , the as , cs , ts , and gs were almost exactly the same .\nhow the genetic testing sites interpreted the data was less consistent . each used studies in the scientific literature that have scanned human populations for dna markers associated with risk factors in order to predict whether a person will succumb to a particular disease . a person might have , say , a 30 percent increased risk for type 2 diabetes if they have a particular version of the relevant genetic marker .\nthe differences arise for two main reasons : because different companies sometimes use different markers , and combinations of markers , to determine an overall risk score for a disease , and because the algorithms the sites use differ in how they weigh the risk factors for different genetic markers .\nthe venter study makes several recommendations for direct - to - consumer genetic testing companies . these include a greater focus on the genetic variations that have a high impact on disease risk and a call to use more markers that provide information on risk factors for taking medications , such as the blood - thinner warfarin and cholesterol - lowering statins . ( 23andme does provide a marker that can indicate a risk of side effects for warfarin . ) the researchers also suggest that sites better explain how their markers fit into the overall impact of genes on a disease ( for example , whether a given marker represents 5 percent , 20 percent , or 100 percent of the genetic impact on a disease ) .\nrecommendations to the genetics community include conducting clinical studies to validate genetic markers for disease and for behavioral traits in actual patients tracked over time , and giving more attention to non -

nucleotide polymorphisms associated with an increased risk for common complex disorders . an area of concern in the use of personal genome testing is how risk estimates generated differ from traditional measures of risk ( e . g . , family history analysis ) . we sought to analyze the concordance of risk estimates generated by family history analysis and by personal genome testing .\nthe only conditions showing slight agreement between risk assessment methods were alzheimer disease ( \u03ba = 0 . 131 ) , breast cancer ( \u03ba = 0 . 154 ) , and deep vein thrombosis ( \u03ba = 0 . 201 ) in females , and colon cancer ( \u03ba = 0 . 124 ) in males . eighty - six individuals ( 11 . 4 % ) were found to have additional genetic risks not assessed by personal genome testing after family and medical history assessment , including 38 individuals with family histories suggestive of hereditary cancer syndromes .\ndiscordance between personal genome testing and family history risk estimates suggests that these methods may provide independent information that could be used in a complementary manner . results also support that eliciting family history adds value to overall risk assessment for individuals undergoing personal genome testing .\nthe medical history of each client , as collected by the genetic counselor , was reviewed , and the total number of individuals affected by any of the 20 conditions was recorded . the maternal and paternal family history for each client was reviewed , and any family members affected with any of the 20 conditions were noted .\non the basis of family history assessment , individual lifetime risk for each condition was classified into two categories : \u201cgreater than general population\u201d risk , or \u201cgeneral population\u201d risk . \u201cgreater than general population\u201d risk categorization was defined according to the presence of a positive family history : either one affected first - degree relative or multiple affected relatives ( two or more first - degree relatives , and / or two or more second - degree relatives on the same side of the family ) . lack of a positive family history of any condition resulted in classification of individuals as at \u201cgeneral population\u201d risk .\ninformation was collected regarding additional genetic risks identified during family and medical history assessments , as well as pursuit of genetic testing outside of pgt as recommended based on these risks , if known . such genetic risks were defined by a reported family history of a specific genetic syndrome or a family / medical history suggestive of a genetic syndrome ( e . g . , hereditary cancer syndromes ) .\nconcordance between family history and personal genome testing risk assessments in ( a ) males and ( b ) females . error bars represent 95 % confidence interval . \u03ba values as listed in table 2 . conditions showing slight concordance are displayed in bold ; all other conditions analyzed had poor concordance .\nfor males , 18 of 19 conditions analyzed had \u03ba values whose 95 % confidence intervals ( cis ) crossed zero ( table 2 ) , indicating poor agreement between risk assessment methods , similar to what would be expected by chance . colon cancer was the sole condition for males for which there was slight agreement . pgt and family history assessment agreed on risk categorization for colon cancer 79 . 7 % of the time ; however , the agreement between the measures was only modest ( \u03ba = 0 . 124 ; 95 % ci = 0 . 0165\u20130 . 232 ) . fifty -

[ 3 ]\nmichael , 3 things come to mind : 1 . murray garrson must have gotten further along in his own investigation than we might have thought as evidenced by his long interview with chowlewskey . also , its not just chit - chat , but every word written down as questions and answers in a seemingly professional manner . 2 . so how many persons did murray and his team actually interview ? all the servants ? wondering which interview got him recalled to wash dc ? ? what about charlie shippell ? i have not read the interview with red johnson , could you post that onto the board if you have it ? thanks 3 . very few persons in this life are all good or all evil . lets just count how many us senators , reps and governors are currently under criminal indictment or just resigned ? stevens / blagoavitch / etc . etc . etc .\nanyway , more relevant to this case and this thread is the fact that lots of vermin like garsson were coming out of the woodwork as they tend to do when the opportunity presents itself . it ' s just important to keep these people and their actions in perspective in the same way we do ( hopefully ) with the yellow journalism .\nthanks michael - - just a related thought . . . . . it connects to cal letting murray garsson et . al . come into his house like a hurricane at 1pm at nite . somewhat odd or weird right off the bat ? first , its been bothering me how drastically or dramatically the lindbergh family changed its , well , public persona or public access after the\nkidnap\n? beforehand they were practically reclusive hermits , shieldiing themselves and charlie jr . from the public and the press . but literally overnite , they turned their own home into a njsp barracks and press central . like a wide - open door policy . - - including nuts and crackpots ? i dont think it was necessary to do this , unless cal wanted minute by minute access to control every nuaince and developement in the developing case - - at least initially ? isnt this an odd way to grieve the loss of your first son and create an imposition on anne , servants and extended family ? second , although cal wasnt home for murray ' midnite intrusion , at least not # 1 , it appears , that all the lindbergh house guests and detectives and police were gone by march 22nd as well ? didnt cal kick them out after a certain date ? ( who let the dogs out - - woof , woof ? )\nthere are six defendants in this case , five individuals and one corporate defendant . all of them except two individuals , henry m . garsson and murray w . garsson , have moved for transfer of the proceeding with respect to each of them to the district court for the northern district of illinois , eastern division , relying upon the provisions of rule 21 of the federal rules of criminal procedure , 18 u . s . c . a . in support of these motions , these four defendants filed motions for bills of particulars , which , after hearing , were granted over the objection of the government . after the government had responded to this court ' s order requiring it , as the result of these defendants ' granted motions , to supply the requested particulars , these defendants filed additional motions for further particulars , to which the united states excepted . these exceptions were heard , and the court concluded that there had been substantial compliance by the government with the court ' s order with respect to supplying the additional information to the defendants , and that , all in all , at that stage of the proceeding , the defendants had obtained from the government all information which they could reasonably ask for under the circumstances .\nnow i don ' t post this to undermine kevin ' s point , only to show garsson seems to have an ability for the\ngood\nside of things prior to his\nbribe\nof may . and so i think you must take the good with the bad and apply it accordingly . ( may , by the way , was eventually pardoned by president truman . )\ntetlow and brown were both part of garsson ' s team of investigators . i have a letter ( somewhere ) from brown to hoffman . i have the fbi report which references garsson going through the furnace and having anne walk upstairs in the nursery to see if she could be heard downstairs . i believe this is in lloyd ' s book too but i ' ll have to check . obviously this was insulting to lindbergh . that ' s why everyone made such a big deal out of it . but secretly , every cop on the premises had wanted to conduct that angle of investigation but knew it would mean their jobs . could you imagine if this crime happened today what kind of investigation would be made concerning its residents ? concerning the family ? are you kidding me ? you see , lindbergh was pulling schwarzkopf ' s strings . whatever lindbergh wanted schwarzkopf did . whenever lindbergh was upset , things would change to his liking . it ' s why the fbi were pulled in the first place as well . he allowed what appeared to be prudent but had schwarzkopf raise hell to pull the rug out from under things if it went somewhere he didn ' t want it to go . according to one of bornmann ' s reports , garsson was withdrawn on april 1st .\ni know what you are saying but i think the accusation should apply accordingly . what are you basing your dislike for garsson on exactly ? is it his future misconduct , his investigative techniques , his reports , his employer , or his possible theory ? if its the theory then i think we have to start calling some of those very close to the investigation\nvermin\nas well . i think its also important to note that i have never seen garsson quoted as saying what his theory was . the investigations were done in with the njsp ' s fullest knowledge and blessing . the statements seem to be professionally done and handed over to lt . keaton . they are also done , at times , teamed up with the njsp . he was\nrecalled\non april 1st and apparently the immigration team ended its investigation at the time . in my opinion they did a good job while they were there and there is much to be learned from the reports that i have which originate from them . greed is rampant within the lindbergh kidnapping but i don ' t see any evidence of garsson being\ngreedy\nduring this investigation . ideals , convictions , and beliefs are there too , and if one thinks quickly back to loeb and leopold - they can be deadly .\nfor a man of 71 with a bad heart and a queasy stomach , andrew jackson may of kentucky looked remarkably fit when his trial began last april . for a man on trial for conspiracy to defraud the government , he was amazingly full of bluster . for a onetime chairman of the house military affairs committee , he was in the company of unsavory codefendants : the mysterious brothers garsson , * owners of a shadowy wartime munitions empire . but andy may was an amazing man .\ni ' m not defending garsson in his role there , but in reality , i am a little more afraid of an ideology that convinces an entire country of people its ok to exterminate another group of people . like i said before , each and every law enforcement officer followed their own\nmoral compass .\nfor example , garrett schenck while complaining to an njsp officer that he had been kidnapped was laughed at while the officer sold diamonds ( on duty ) to the gas station attendant guiness ( informant ) . doesn ' t make it right , but these types of things , to varying degrees - happened all the time .\nmurray garrson was the kind of character an investigating committee likes to find . according to the f . b . i , he was once tied up in new york ' s brewery trade with gangsters dutch schultz and owney madden . he had twice gone through bankruptcy , had been arrested on charges ranging from disorderly conduct to grand larceny , but never served a sentence . brother henry garrson had an impressive array of engineering degrees and a spotless record as an engineering consultant . but he had been indicted , tried and acquitted on a charge of pocketing a $ 5 , 000 bribe while working as an internal revenue agent . when war came the garrson boys were ready with a good scheme for quick - & - easy profits . with no assets except a borrowed letterhead they established the erie basin metal products co . then they grabbed a $ 3 , 000 , 000 contract from the chemical warfare service to produce mortar shells , and went to town . . . . . . [ time magazine july 1946 ]\n1 . they did interview quite a few people . i have several statements and some njsp reports which indicate some investigations were made jointly . for example , bornmann & garsson were together on one endeavor . this point alone causes problems for\nwwii\nand his position he makes above . 2 . hard to say how many . i only could say what i have and could only hazard a guess about what i don ' t have . i am sure there was a ton given over to sec . doak . i filed a foia years ago which went unanswered . i do believe garsson was interested in betty gow which was probably the reason for his being called in . that ' s all i can say without my paperwork in front of me . the johnson interview is lengthy . once i have it then it may be easier for me just to send it to you rick . 3 . i agree . also , sometimes people change , or they take risks at certain times of their life they would never take at another time . some are just bad . i don ' t think people realize that you had some police officers who actually had a record before becoming a cop . most of my research turns up police having a degree of right and wrong within their minds at the time . some would use their positions for gain . . . some moreso then others and some to varying degrees . there were some things they might do and other things they would not . not all of course but i think you get the jist of my position .\nsorry the red johnson interview wasn ' t what you expected rick . . . . i do believe if something was developed from garsson that his character should be considered . however , my position is to take it in the context of the situation and the like conduct by other law enforcement whose information contributes to one ' s own personal theories . see my point ? if you consider something in one place then you must consider it elsewhere as well . too often we dismiss what we don ' t like but accept what we do when the situation which develops the information is exactly the same . in other words we will point to character to impeach an investigator ' s creditability when they develop something we don ' t like but ignore that issue when they bring to light something we like . by the same token , we ignore like conduct by a different officer who develops information that bolsters our own personal theory . it ' s my position this cannot be done . we can ' t have our cake and eat it too . if an argument applies in one place then if the exact same situation exist elsewhere then it must be applied there too and not just where we choose to invoke it . that would be selective observation .\nfinally , in this connection the court feels it is appropriate to make allusion to the point which counsel for these four defendants have brought up , namely , that if this court be sound in its conclusion just reached , then , in the interest of justice , in the public interest , in the interest of time and money - saving , and in greater fairness to all concerned , it would seem that the department of justice should have given more complete consideration to the question whether , in the first instance , this indictment should not have been brought in the illinois jurisdiction . and , also , it seems appropriate for the court to point out that it is perfectly proper , even now , to combine the trial of all defendants in that other jurisdiction by indictment there of the messrs . garsson . but , whatever the government may see fit to do in this respect , the decision which this court has reached is not based upon hope or expectation that through limited transfer of the proceeding it may be relieved of what would appear to be a very tedious trial of long duration . if any of the defendants must be tried here , then it is the duty of this court to proceed with reasonable promptness with the trial , and promote the efficient administration of justice in fairness to all concerned . but in conclusion the court wants to say that even though the trial is now narrowed in this jurisdiction to two defendants , and even though the court is impressed with the necessity , in the interest of these defendants and in the public interest , of assigning a date in the reasonably near future for the trial , the court will not do so unless there is a more definite disclosure to the court through pre - trial conferences as to why the government believes , if it still does , that this case will require several months for trial . such seems to be a totally unwarranted belief , if the case is properly prepared for trial .\nthe story unfolded by government witnesses picked up where the senate ' s war investigating . . .\nmonthly pay - as - you - go digital access \u2014 $ 2 . 99\nif you check the\nremember me\nbox , you will be automatically signed in for 30 days to urltoken when you visit in the future .\nif you are accessing urltoken on a public computer , you are advised not to click on the\nremember me\noption .\nmany a u . s . businessman has wished that he was big enough to get in to see elisha walker in his official habitat : the austere offices of wall street ' s famed international banking firm of kuhn , loeb & co . , of which he is senior partner . stiff - starched banker walker is not an easy man to get at .\nelisha walker has long been accustomed to dealing in sums ending in six zeroes and with such titans of finance and industry as harry f . sinclair ( oil ) , frederick h . prince ( railroads ) , . . .\nlakeith stanfield and his sorry to bother you crew reveal their most soul - crushing jobs in our freewheeling interview .\nwith jurassic world : fallen kingdom now in cinemas , we take a look at how imdb users rated the films of the franchise . plus , browse exclusive lego\u00ae jurassic world playsets , presented by lego .\nsome of garrson ' s reports are in the original state police collection . there are also some others in keaton ' s personal files which were donated to the archives by his family . there are a few in the hoffman collection , and mention ( to include quotes ) in some fbi files . i believe garrson felt it was an inside job . but then again , a lot of people felt there had been an inside connection to include mrs . morrow . i wonder who her candidate was ?

what was garrson ' s motivation : illegal aliens ? a timely topic . ( 09 )\nthe department of labor was working the immigration angle of the case . that is , they were fully investigating those illegals in the hopewell area . from the reports that i have they were attempting to use the illegal status for the dual purpose of enforcing the immigration laws and squeezing information out of those interviewed for anything relating to the kidnapping .\ni do have a garrson file , but most of the information about him , specifically , is contained in multiple fbi reports . for example , there might be a 15 page report concerning betty gow and on page 11 there appears a paragraph about garrson . most of the immigration inspector ' s reports appear to have been turned over to lt . keaton . however , there is evidence that as early as march 11th hoover is asking secretary doak for his\nlindbergh file\nand is being flatly refused access to it . just as a reminder , it wasn ' t only garrson working on this case for the department of labor . there were many inspectors . . . .\nthe quote you make sounds very familiar to me . i do remember a western union sent to hoffman that might have contained such a quote but i will have to check . i can say however that i have never found a\ngarrson\nlindbergh kidnapping investigation report ( per se ) like one would expect to find . i will check in the near future to see what i have in my file and if i can locate the fbi reports which specifically mention him .\nif you look hard enough , you find problems with just about everyone involved with the exception of the fbi . if you take issues concerning garrson mostly from his future , and apply them to whatever he finds / concludes during his hopewell investigations , i would assume this same argument then exists to impeach creditability everywhere else .\nmany njsp investigators were implicated for taking bribes during the hall - mills case . they later investigate the lindbergh kidnapping . bornmann is disciplined for a serious infraction on one occasion , and yet again for another matter before the lindbergh kidnapping occurred . does this mean we disregard all of his reports ? do we use this to show he framed rail 16 ? hoover has many complaints against many investigators . he never says one bad thing that i could find about garrson . walsh , like garrson , believed there was an inside connection . williamson believed it too , as did mulrooney .\nthe department of labor was working the immigration angle of the case . that is , they were fully investigating those illegals in the hopewell area . from the reports that i have they were attempting to use the illegal status for the dual purpose of enforcing the immigration laws and squeezing information out of those interviewed for anything relating to the kidnapping . michael\nyes - - mark sent me a lengthy interview of antonio chowlewsky by garrson and two other boi agents . this included alot of questions about digging and burying on antonio ' s property around the time of the kidnap ?\nlooking at wwii ' s post again it reminds me of everyone attacking hoffman ' s use of the various people he did during the re - investigation . for example , lt . robert w . hick ' s , is a great investigator receiving high praise from h . h . martin of the mixed claims commission in his letter of appreciation in 1941 for all the years of excellent work . but during his investigation of the lindbergh kidnapping we ' re led to believe by those who want hauptmann to be a lone wolf that hick ' s is a\ndunce .\nsure , apply whatever you have and consider it , but you must consider it everywhere and apply it accordingly within its proper context . what in garrson ' s interview with red johnson , for example , shows that he is either incapable or a criminal ? why when hoover is attacking schwarzkopf , keaton , lamb , etc . as dishonest , untruthful , and / or liars doesn ' t he attack garrson in this way ?\nthat ' s kind of a double edged sword argument isn ' t it ?

afternoons are devoted to working in the studio . he tries to listen to new works one or two times a week , and sets aside one afternoon each week to speak to people . he also uses sampling to help speed the composition process and has said he is limited only by how much music he can write , which seems to still be prolific .\neither way , it ' s still going to be more expensive than you thought . twice as expensive according to our experts . that electrician might ' ve quoted $ 1 , 300 , but then they had to come a second day and it turned into $ 2 , 000 . design elements like glass tabletops and light fixtures can easily cost thousands of dollars . just remember which expenses will positively affect your business financially . light fixtures that cost $ 18 , 000 aren ' t going to generate revenue .\nminimalism , which was en vogue as a compositional style in the late 1960s , emphasized a simplification of the music rather than complex musical structures such as harmony , melody , modulation , and rhythm .\nwith minimalism , philip glass invented a new kind of music that attracted an enormous group of people who had never listened to classical music before and , in some cases , who still only listen to his form of it ,\njoseph mclellan , classical music critic emeritus of the washington post told smithsonian in 2003 .\nborn january 31 , 1937 , in baltimore , md . ;

fertilization of ideas and theories among researchers in different fields through the simultaneous search of hundreds of important collections that a researcher might not otherwise find .\nlederman says ,\nto the best of our knowledge , no other federated search application simultaneously searches 400 sources .\nbut he stressed that this is still in an early stage of what the company would like to achieve . it is trying to get to 1 , 000 sources within 1 year and eventually to 10 , 000 sources . to make the federated search application more scalable , lederman says it is deploying urltoken at an amazon cloud computing data center .\ni asked lederman about comparing urltoken to elsevier ' s scirus , its well -

education seriously . so much so , that his job responsibilities continue to expand to this day .\nafter starting out in one of our entry - level positions , corey now dabbles in a variety of data processes . if you ever apply for\n, he is the one who will customize and guide you through the process . he also is responsible for the data visualizations that come along with these processes .\nfor our present projects , corey creates the logic behind tagging new entities and properties within the text . if a client has a list of keywords that they want to be notified , he helps them create different lists and manages tagging them .\ndespite this , corey found mastery in our applications through mentorship from who he calls our \u201cabsolute genius developers . \u201d as he began learning new data visualization techniques , writing scripts , learning programming languages , querying sql , and manipulating our data base , corey diligently worked under the guidance of our senior\na recent project that corey has been a key -

record search brought back many good results , including the top - ranked results containing all of the search terms in the title .\nwe would also like to point out that the additional search results should be displayed when the search completes as these additional results may contain some of the most relevant results available . also displaying the additional results should significantly reduce the variability in the results returned by running the same search multiple times .\noverall urltoken is another one - stop - shopping platform that one should consider when searching for publications , data , and media files from governmental and international scientific domains .\nwe\u2019re proud of urltoken and proud to support the doe office of scientific and technical information ( osti ) in bringing this free , publicly available , multilingual search portal to science and technology researchers around the world .\nindexed discovery services are a lot like google : you can search simply and get results quickly , but the sources you are searching tend to be mysterious . do you know if you are searching specialized sources or generic sources ? authoritative or with an agenda ? when a researcher pushes the search button , they get whatever results are deemed relevant from whatever sources are included , and they can\u2019t limit their search to only the sources that matter to them .\nfor some researchers , knowing the sources behind the search really makes no difference to them at all . to these researchers , often undergraduates , it\u2019s the results that count . most results nowadays do show the source , publication or journal that result is from . this makes it somewhat easier to eyeball a page of results , disregard those from irrelevant sources , or select results as appropriate if they are from an authoritative source . but that research methodology seems inefficient to say the least .\nserious researchers , on the other hand , want to know what they are searching . if they know that their information will most likely be in three or four specific resources out of the 20 or 30 their organization subscribes to , then why should they wade through a massive results list or spend one iota of extra time filtering out the extra sources to view their nuggets of information ? ( quick answer , they shouldn\u2019t . )\nmost of us know the benefits of a single search of all resources . one search improves the efficiency of searching disparate sources , makes comparing and contrasting results faster , and provides an opportunity to save , export or email selected results . however , explorit everywhere ! goes one step further by lending transparency of sources to researchers so they can search even faster . one of our customers mentioned that they moved from a well known discovery service because they were frustrated with all of the news results that were returned . it didn\u2019t help that their researchers couldn\u2019t select specific sources to search , particularly when their searches always seemed to bring back less than relevant results .\nexplorit everywhere ! helps to narrow a search up front with not only the standard advanced search fields , but a list of sources to pick and choose from . a researcher looking to search in four different sources doesn\u2019t want to run a search against 25 sources . they can narrow the playing field to hone in on the needle in the haystack faster . and from the results page , they can limit to each individual source to view only those results , in the order that the source ranked them . a serious researcher\u2019s dream ? that\u2019s what we\u2019ve heard .\nnot all researcher\u2019s care about drilling down into individual sources like this . but in explorit everywhere ! the option is there to search the broad or narrow path . we even filter out the rocks .\nspend between five and 25 minutes searching every time they want to find a document , while only one in five searches is correct the first time . the search for corporate information is eating into workplace productivity . only 20 per cent of respondents reported first time successful searches . other key findings from the survey include that it takes workers up to eight searches to find the right document and information , according to 80 per cent of respondents . \u201d\nsearch , simon comments , hasn\u2019t really improved over the last 20 years . companies such as microsoft and autonomy , while assuming the mantle of usable search through the acquisition of search veterans like verity and fast , actually focused their efforts on consultancy rather than on improving results retrieval .\nthe introduction of big data , however , has offered a twist to the information retieval conundrum . piles of data , lots of repositories , different security levels and multiple devices all funnel down to researchers who must adapt their search to the search interface of the individual database or repository , meaning they are often searching databases one by one by one .\nwe call this serial searching , and it is hardly efficient . add to this that not all researchers know where to look , know the search syntax of the databases they are searching , or have time to search all of their databases .\nluckily , federated search have arrived on scene , assessed the situation and now offer alternatives to serial searching .\n\u201c with the advent of federated search , the ability to search across multiple repositories has improved . moreover , with federated de - duplicated results , users do not receive thousands of irrelevant documents or emails . users can simultaneously search across applications . it is best to take a non - repository processing approach and keep the existing data silos separate . a large repository can be kludgy with inherent security risks and to combine multiple silos may create problems in reconciling different processing power and security levels . \u201d\nfederated search is still moving search along with it\u2019s adaptable infrastructure . it\u2019s like it was made for modern , dynamic , fast - growing data streams .\ni met a friend of mine in the library last week who i haven\u2019t seen for ages ! in the course of catching up on gossip she told me that she was studying for a health & safety course in ucc and had been looking for a case report relevant to her group project . she had gone through all the printed law reports and had searched all the major law databases individually , but couldn\u2019t find the case ! so i gave her a one minute quick tour of explorit everywhere ! ( we call it searcher here ) . she didn\u2019t know the name of the case or when it was heard / reported . i showed her how to do an advanced search limiting only to law specific databases and using keywords , and then limiting to topics on the results screen . i was in a hurry , so i left . within a minute i got a text from her saying she found the case ! now , that\u2019s what i call a miracle ! a whole day\u2019s search was resolved within minutes by searching through explorit everywhere ! .\nour customers are often surprised that they can limit to specific sources or categories of sources to know exactly what they are searching . researchers have control over their searches , rather than searching \u201ceverything\u201d and wading through ambiguously ranked results , weighted to a publisher\u2019s content . explorit everywhere ! , through a transparent interface and search of information puts our researchers into the driver\u2019s seat . it\u2019s a powerful tool , for power - researchers .\nlibrary \u2013 a place to store your digital results , reference and organize your data , or share information with others . it\u2019s a place to build your research world .\nwhether collaborative or solitary , your research can consume big chunks of time out of a day . if you\u2019re moving fast , you may browse dozens of results rapidly and set some aside to explore further . those results might hold some interest for you on a topic separate from what you are currently researching and you want explore them at a later date . they might be relevant , but need additional follow up . or maybe your workday has ended , and you\u2019ll resume researching again tomorrow . whatever the reason , mylibrary allows you to put your research on hold without missing a beat .\nyour results can be filed away similar to organizing folders in a filing cabinet . once you\u2019ve selected your results , mylibrary lets you tag and categorize those results in a system that makes sense to you . reference those saved results whenever you want \u2013 they are there until you delete them . just log in to your explorit everywhere ! application and click mylibrary . when you are ready , you can print , email or export any or all of those results from any folder , at any time .\noh , and don\u2019t think our ambitious engineers could resist tweaking a few other things while they were fiddling with mylibrary in explorit everywhere ! . now , once you log in , you can save results preferences and language preferences in localized applications . have an idea to make mylibrary even better ? let us know !\nthis on - demand approach works for random , public websites researchers encounter , but not for steadfast explorit everywhere ! users who regularly use explorit everywhere ! as their main search application to retrieve information from diverse sources . researchers starting from explorit everywhere ! should begin from a\nthe tools and the sources are exactly what they need to find results quickly and efficiently .\n, including navigational text , help text , menus and application tool and tooltips . localization does not translate results . the localized language or languages are determined when an application is created . if there are multiple languages to choose from , a user can determine what they want to be their default localized interface language after they have logged in to an application .\n. for example , english language sources of information will return english to the explorit everywhere ! application , regardless of a user\u2019s localized interface language . the multilingual feature will translate results from other languages into a selected language .\nyou can see why these two features may accompany each other in many applications ; together , they provide a seamless search experience . however , user interface localization provides a level of user comfort to multilingual researchers regardless of what language the results return in . navigating the search application , entering queries and browsing text is much easier and faster when performed in native languages .\nexplorit everywhere ! supports seven major languages at this point : dutch , english , french , german , italian , portuguese and spanish . 2016\nfor explorit everywhere ! applications by introducing support of arabic right to left text .\na localized user interface creates a fluid research path , bypassing language barriers that may obstruct an intuitive search . to see an example of localization and multilingual translation , please visit urltoken .\nwhen we\u2019re young and naive , we think that google knows everything , from climate change to competitor data , from media impressions to military intelligence . if it\u2019s not in google , then we won\u2019t find it anywhere . thanks , and have a nice day .\nthis unfortunate misconception is the plight many libraries face today : how do you reclaim your library from the overpowering presence of google ? this question isn\u2019t just a philosophical question . authoritative sources of information that libraries subscribe to ( yes , actually spend money on ) are searched by uniformed researchers 16 % of the time . this is a paltry number compared to 94 % of researchers who will begin their search ( and often complete their search ) on google or another generic search engine when looking for authoritative information .\nbrainwashing powers aside , google has captured researchers with speedy results that seem to be the \u201cright\u201d results every time . and , to give credit where credit is due , google is an amazing , ever evolving search engine that is the perfect search for everyday queries . it also is an excellent place to start broad research that doesn\u2019t need to be supported by vetted information .\nlibraries are central to a researcher\u2019s quests for knowledge . they should be a font of information , housing books , magazines and catalogs , and directing researchers to the external resources to fuel and deliver on these information requests . maturing and expert researchers who realize that google falls short of their information needs shouldn\u2019t be limited by a library that isn\u2019t vehemently countering the google myth . a self - aware library will be asking these questions :\ngoogle has made the search and retrieval process easy . good search engines follow that pattern too \u2013 simple and elegant , yet robust .\nif you\u2019re a librarian facing google encroachment in your libary , consider resurrecting yourself to a position of authority . find a way to go the distance for your researchers .\nwhat makes a search app easy to use ? lots of things , such as intuitive navigation , a sleek interface , tooltips , and\u2026personalization . sometimes spending the extra time making an app \u201cyours\u201d is exactly what it takes to make the app more \u201cusable . \u201d\nfor example , the first thing i do when i find a new start page or website that i\u2019ll be using robustly every day is to personalize it . i add in the widgets that i know will help me out on my quest for efficiency . i change the colors to reflect my mood . i alter the text to cue me to next actions . when i tailor apps to my tastes , i inevitable use them more because they are more comfortable to use .\nwe have many customers who spend the time to tailor their applications to their researcher\u2019s preferences or organization\u2019s style .\nour customer , the virginia department of transportation ( vdot ) , wanted to install a chat widget into their application that appears on the right side of the page and connects users with a librarian . it was a simple piece of javascript to install on the back - end , but on the front end allows users to get immediate answers from library staff , is connected to a ticketing system for issue tracking and personalizes the application so that their users can connect quickly and the librarians can monitor questions .\ni had the opportunity to try it out . within seconds , a librarian was online chatting with me . when done , i received a transcript of our conversation and was pleasantly surprised at the \u201chuman\u201d element of the search page . vdot had personalized their explorit everywhere ! application in a way that created comfort , provided excellent service and immediately connected the user to the library .\nour customer successes are our successes . whether it\u2019s adding google analytics to track users , a custom thesaurus , plugging in different widgets for document delivery or a chat widget , we\u2019ll help you to tailor your application so that your users can best take advantage of explorit everywhere ! to find information quickly .\none little peek can\u2019t hurt , can it ?

manufacturer since 2003 . the company claims to be the only memory manufacturer located in central and eastern europe . wilk\u2019s main product lines now include memory modules for pc , notebooks , servers , and other equipment that requires dram memory , as well as flash products including usb drives , flash cards and ssd .\nby zsolt kerekes , editor - urltoken - march 2017 wilk elektronik is a

the transition from hdd to ssd .\n\u201capart from being the manufacturer of goodram and gooddrive memory products , we are also the official and sole distributor of toshiba - branded flash products for cee markets as well as official distributor for mea region , \u201d wilk concluded .\n\u201cwe have successfully developed this business model with software manufacturers , industrial customers and enterprise accounts in a few countries including poland , slovakia , the czech republic and ukraine , and we are planning to copy this model in other countries , \u201d explained wilk .\nwilk elektronik sa shall , at its own discretion , repair or replace the products complained about which have been recognised as defective . the product may be replaced with a new one or a reconditioned product of the same model as the product complained about . should it be impossible to replace the product complained about with a product of the same model , it may be replaced with a new generation product with the same parameters as those of the product complained about or better . a reconditioned product is understood as a used product which is fully operable and has equivalent features and parameters .\n\u201cdistree xxl is important because of the opportunity to meet new potential partners and discuss what we can offer and how we can cooperate , \u201d added wilk . \u201cit is also possible to meet existing partners in order to discuss how to develop and improve our business and to present our new products . \u201d\n\u201cfrom 2010 we would like to extend the area of our

customers , which bring visible advantages compared to competitors from outside of europe , \u201d added wilk . \u201calso , our distribution model differs from many of our competitors : we work with a limited number of partners per country allowing our partners to better position the products and protect them from price competition , which helps to control margins . \u201d\nhtml public\n- / / w3c

2001 saw the greatest crisis in the computer industry . nevertheless , our company not only maintained its leadership position , but also managed to establish close cooperation with infineon ( qimonda ) , one of the world\u2019s technological leaders . this was the company\u2019s second strategic alliance , the first being an agreement signed with american micron technology five years earlier .

production plant in central and eastern europe .\nbeginning with 2010 , the company observed a considerable increase of sale in export markets coupled with increased presence of goodram brand in the global world\u2019s market . the expansion of the polish brand in export markets has continued until today by conquering subsequent foreign markets .\nat the turn of 2013 , the company took up a new challenging task , presenting a new product line addressed to industrial applications . the line of those advanced products was signed with goodram industrial logo . within the scope of the new product group , the offer included a memory card series ( including compact flash cards ) , solid state drives and memory modules applicable in both internal and external industrial solutions .\naiming for the consistent development and extension of the offer , in 2013 goodram brand introduced to its consumer offer hard disk drives ( hdds ) and modern solid state drives ( ssds ) . thanks to the high quality and reliability of the marketed ssds , goodram has gained 2 nd rank of the market share in poland , and the iridium pro model is currently the best selling consumer ssd in the country . the brand has also achieved high ranks with other products in its country of origin : the memory card market accounted for 18 % share , the flash drive market accounted for 20 % share , and the memory module market share with 50 % .\nthe huge commercial success of iridium pro ssd and years of building consumer trust pushed the company to extend the offer with more performance - oriented products , establishing a complete series under the irdm subbrand . the new irdm series consists of ssds , memory cards and ram modules .\nfor inquiries related to this message please contact support

time performance of the biggest u . s . carriers ( excluding regional feeder airlines ) over the thanksgiving and christmas - new year ' s periods the last three years , using data from the bureau of transportation statistics . since many consumers may have multiple air carrier options from their home airports , recent product development ( including wi - fi ) and loyalty programs were also highlighted .\nconsidering major carriers that operate primarily within the contiguous 48 states , delta air lines is the best carrier in terms of on - time performance : 86 . 01 % of that carrier ' s holiday flights have arrived on time over the last three years , almost 15 percentage points higher than the least punctual carrier , frontier . among the legacy carriers of american , delta , southwest and united , southwest delivered the worst holiday performance , bringing in only 74 . 71 % of flights on time . and outside of the major alliances , alaska airlines also delivered a strong performance in this year ' s study , taking third place with 84 . 85 % of flights on time .\nanother holiday season is around the corner and with it , a brave new world of airlines and airports . with 2016 though , comes a slightly different game : revenue - based loyalty programs have been integrated at large , changing the fundamental way that passengers earn frequent flyer miles on most carriers . and in a race to improve on - time performance , some legacy carriers made big changes to schedules and boarding procedures to help smooth out any operational hiccups that regularly delay aircraft .\nif you book with us and later find your holiday on sale , and available , at a lower price on a travel website of a competitor based in the same country , we will refund the difference to you .\ngrab your rolling bag , and pack your patience . the holiday air travel season is about to begin . and if you want to have a stress -

tier members earn up to 11 . put another way , in early 2016 a basic member of aadvantage would earn 5160 miles on a $ 300 ticket from jfk to sfo and back . over this year ' s holiday season , that same member will earn about 1500 .\nindex / updates / search please see the list of airlines with timetable cover images on this site . there is a separate list of complete timetables . you can also check the latest updates . if you don ' t find what you are looking for , please use the search engine .\ncrew in the lower -

cost carriers like frontier and spirit , basic economy cabins or fares offer the same hard product as regular economy but strip away the main perks of that cabin like free drinks , advanced seat selection or upgrade rights . and though the basic economy fares were originally only rolled out by delta to compete on routes where low -

fi that they offer , but for a near - guaranteed connection , virgin america is the best option . that carrier operates nearly 100 % of its aircraft with inflight internet , leading delta , which has connectivity on nearly 90 % of its aircraft . southwest and united both offer wi -

- 11 . 27 percent of its flights arrived late .\nyou might think hawaiian has it relatively easy , since its flights rarely have to contend with the kind of challenging weather conditions found on the mainland . hawaiian perennially rates high in on - time performance rankings , topping the most recent dot list i n september . it recently announced it will branch well beyond its island home with non - stop service to beijing .\nbut huy vo , a senior specialist in public relations at hawaiian , said the short flights , which make up half the airline ' s routes , aren ' t all that easy to operate .\nour geographic location certainly does give us an advantage , as well as our short - haul routes ,\nvo said .\nhowever , the short - haul routes are the hardest to keep punctual , because the hops are very short , with brief ground time between flights , so any delay is difficult to make up .\nvo said with each plane flying 12 to 16 segments a day , one late flight can easily cascade into several delays in a single day . to offset that , the airline ' s systems operation and control center makes adjustments when needed . that can involve inserting spare planes and extra crews into the schedule to make sure flights stay on time .\non the flip side , why do so many jetblue flights arrive late during the holidays ( 22 percent ) ? for one thing , it flies to and from some of the busiest airports in the country , including new york ' s jfk , laguardia and newark airports . and it encounters some of the same issues as hawaiian does over the pacific .\nwith 75 percent of our flights touching the northeast , either new york or boston , one delay in the morning can affect the entire line of flying for that airplane ,\nsaid jenny dervin , a jetblue spokeswoman . and , the northeast is particularly affected by the kind of winter storms that delay flights .\nthis is not an excuse - - this is the reality of the environment we operate in ,\ndervin said . since 2012 , jetblue has been implementing a series of technology efforts to help it recover more quickly from bad weather . she said other tools are coming online that will help the airline keep to its schedules .\nflying during the holidays takes special strategies , which we ' ve outlined here . it also means being prepared for significant weather delays , especially in the northeast and midwest .\ninstantly receive a \u00a310 urltoken gift card if you\u2019re approved for the amazon platinum mastercard with instant spend . representative 21 . 9 % apr ( variable ) .\ncredit offered by newday ltd , over 18s only , subject to status . terms apply .\nthis shopping feature will continue to load items . in order to navigate out of this carousel please use your heading shortcut key to navigate to the next or previous heading .\nenter your mobile number or email address below and we ' ll send you a link to download the free kindle app . then you can start reading kindle books on your smartphone , tablet , or computer -

probably dates from the 1930s .\nlabel sj responds to sungmi . . .\nthe youtube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third - party notifications of copyright infringement .\nthey already had freedom on their solo works even before label sj it ' s useless they produce music if no one is going to listen to it for much\nartistic freedom\nthey have now .\nin response to sungmin\u2019s recent apology to fans and his declaration that he will not be participating in super junior\u2019s upcoming album , label sj released an official statement about sungmin \u2019s decision as well as his future activities .\nrecently , super junior\u2019s agency sj label announced that they will be holding a conference with representatives from super junior\u2019s fan pages to gather opinions and discuss what direction the group should be heading in with their new album .\nthe thing is label sj has a bigger paper than just solo ' s creative freedom ( you care about ) and all i ' m seeing they are running something that doesn ' t work yet or they don ' t know how .\non the side note , i hope that there will be sm x yg collabs . . . . . hee chul is close to psy . imagine label sj and psyg produce something ? daebak . i better start praying right away ! !\nthe label will be in full charge of producing super junior ' s albums and managing the group .\nsee , this is what is confusing me - is label sj in charge of promos ? nobody seems able to agree on this one bit : some people say they are in - charge , some people say it ' s sm , some a combination , etc .\ni ' m refraining from being too judgmental because there doesn ' t seem to be any official statement on who is conducting the promotions . if anything , the emphasis of label sj seems to be creative control - and we do see that hand in it from their recent releases .\nit is never useless to do what you love . change doesn ' t happen over night and the label isn ' t even one year old yet . if some fans thought sj will suddenly start slaying the charts once under the label then that ' s very naive and unrealistic . complaining about bad promotions and the label ' s short comings as far as promotions go is one thing but to question it ' s entire existence is just - they have had creative control to some extent before but what they have now is independence and complete artistic freedom .\nquote from naver article trans by reneeei :\nlabel sj will receive support from sm for marketing system and production costs . however album production , promotional activities , and label sj operations will be decided by the members and their current managers .\nfor now i ' ve not seen any kind of promotion for their part , and they need it . i used to feel bad when they were under sm and didn ' t receive the treatment other groups got but now i don ' t see there ' s even intention of their part to invest on their work so i can ' t bring myself to care .\ncomments 5 & 6 make no sense , but i guess that ' s to be expected . hope the new label is a success\narticle : [ exclusive ] psy achieves his longtime dream . . . his own label ' psyg ' source : joy news 24 via naver \u200b\nlol ^ this was the only thing that came to my mind i saw this . also the black label consisting of kush and ziont too > <\nthat ' s why i mentioned that they are just starting . maybe if label sj got more help from sm on how to promote their stuff would have been received better . sm chooses what they want to promote well and what they don ' t want to promote well . like exo ' s debut and ijwd were commercial hits while the things you mention were subpar .\ni mean my post is about the naver article translation that talks about what to expect about suju label and going by the translation promotional activities are under it .\nthe label appears on the underside of a perfume atomiser bottle and a perfume flask from a ( presumably crystal ) trinket / vanity set trio . no markings on the atomiser head . i\u0092ll be posting photos of the whole trio on the glass trinket sets section shortly , but thought that i would try to get an id of the label from gmb czech - glass section first . ( in my first post , i\u0092ve inadvertently omitted to credit the photo of the label to patrick sturkyn ) .\nthe new label will handle all of super junior ' s individual , unit and group activities . there are a lot of members , a lot of unit groups and a lot of various promotions for the popular boy group , so it makes a lot of sense that they ' ll be managed under their own sub - label !\n8 .

charge , what is their budget like , what the budget they need for good promotion is . . . because if anything , i ' m beginning to get the impression that sm might not be helping them in the promotional regard - who knows , maybe sm just expected them to know how to do it by themselves . maybe they just need time to learn . maybe they need better people helping them , because really , while it ' s great leeteuk is giving their managers positions , are their managers really qualified to have certain kinds of jobs ? it ' s all so confusing because we don ' t see how label sj works . give us the transparency !\nthough the new label will be affiliated with sm , it will be independently and wholly responsible for super junior\u2019s management , producing their albums , and all group , unit , and individual activities .\nsuper junior ' s sungmin fans have announced they will boycott him , and label sj has replied . super junior ' s sungmin is facing a lot of criticism from his fans for being far away and not updating fans about the changes in life and milestones . in september 2014 , fans learned about sungmin ' s marriage to actress kim sa eun through articles , not sungmin ' s , and when fans asked for more information on my marriage , he did not respond .\neverybody has a story . the problem is that some of them are boring . if yours is not , contact dave bakke at 788 -

all - jeff benjamin mary beth franklin greg iacurci bruce kelly ryan w . neal mark schoeff jr .\nfor years , the advice industry has been hearing about a coming wave of actively managed exchange - traded funds . yet as each year passes , very little happens .\nout of a total universe of 1 , 366 exchange - traded funds , the asset management industry has launched only 84 actively managed etfs , according to morningstar inc .\nactive etfs represent about 1 % of the overall etf market , and roughly half of those active - etf assets are concentrated in two funds managed by [ pacific investment management co . ] ,\nsaid stephen clarke , president of navigate fund solutions , an eaton vance corp . subsidiary that was created specifically to develop a new active - etf model .\nthe party line against the creation of active etfs by mutual fund companies typically boils down to those pesky rules that require daily portfolio transparency in the active - etf format . but some critics say the real reason is that the industry wants to protect the higher management fees it is able to collect for mutual funds compared with etfs .\nin 2008 , when the securities and exchange commission initially approved active etfs , the stipulation was that the portfolio holdings had to be disclosed daily . before 2008 , the etf industry was made up entirely of index - based strategies , and portfolio transparency was never an issue .\na growing voice from the mutual fund industry is claiming that managing an active etf would give the world a free look at what portfolio managers were doing inside their funds . daily disclosure is a far cry from what the mutual fund industry has gotten used to in the form of quarterly portfolio transparency requirements , reported on a 60 - day lag .\nthe fund companies say they ' re concerned about shadowing and front running of their portfolios , although we think both of those issues are overblown ,\nsaid robert goldsborough , an etf analyst at morningstar .\nyou have some enormously talented active managers at the mutual fund companies , but they ' re also very paranoid ,\nhe said .\nthe portfolio disclosure issue has become sort of a psychological hurdle .\nthat hurdle has led to a long and growing list of mutual fund companies appealing to the sec for permission to launch less transparent variations on the active - etf model .\nsome of the firms applying for portfolio disclosure exemptions include well - established etf players such as blackrock inc . , guggenheim investments and state street global advisors . but other firms such as eaton vance and t . rowe price group , which aren ' t even in the etf business , have also applied for exemptions . the reason may be the size of the etf industry and its potential down the road .\nthe fast - growing etf industry already has $ 1 . 7 trillion in assets . urltoken in january predicted that within 10 years , total etf assets will reach $ 15 . 5 trillion and eclipse the size of the mutual fund industry .\nthat $ 1 . 7 trillion is the number the fund companies are looking at today , because the growth in [ index - based investing ] over the last 10 years has been predominantly in etfs ,\nsaid jim ross , executive vice president at state street .\ni think it ' s hard to predict how big the active - etf space will be ,\nhe added ,\nbut we have seen the appetite among advisers for targeted active - etf strategies .\nssga already offers more than 130 etfs , including a few active ones , but the company still has filed with the sec for permission to launch a nontransparent active version .\nfull transparency hasn ' t proven to be a significant challenge for existing active etfs ,\nmr . ross said .\nthe thing that ' s yet to be proven , and the big ' if ' on sec approval , is whether the nontransparent versions even work .\nwhile the mutual fund industry pleads for exemptions to protect its intellectual property , regulators and critics warn that masking portfolio holdings will lead to wider spreads and other challenges as etf market makers try to hedge their exposure while taking on the added risk of not knowing exactly what they are trying to hedge .\nthe sec did not respond to a request for comment on whether it would grant disclosure exemptions to any of the asset managers that have applied for them . mr . goldborough believes the regulator will ultimately allow some form of masked portfolios for some active etfs .\neaton vance ' s navigate unit is seeking transparency relief for a hybrid fund , which might be more mutual fund than etf .\ndubbed an exchange - traded mutual fund , the navigate model would trade like an etf all day long but price only at the end of the day like a mutual fund .\nour approach is an investment vehicle , not a trading vehicle ,\nmr . clarke said .\nwe look at it as an evolution on the theme of the mutual fund .\neven if it does get through the regulatory gantlet , such hybrid active - etf strategies still likely will end up going head - to - head with pure active etfs .\non the issue of portfolio transparency and the threat of other traders ' trying to invest based on published portfolio holdings , mr . hamman says bring it on .\nif you like what i ' m doing so much , don ' t just try and trade based on what you think i ' m trying to do \u2014 just buy my fund ,\nhe said .\nif somebody is trying to copy what i ' m doing , chances are , they ' re getting far worse prices than i ' m getting .\nmr . hamman also shoots down arguments that if it takes a portfolio manager a few days to unwind a large position , the transparency factor could drive the stock price down before the entire position is sold .\nif other investors see me unwinding a position and follow suit , that could push the stock price down to a level where i don ' t want to sell anymore ,\nhe said .\nthere ' s no rule that says i have to keep unwinding if a stock price drops down to a more attractive level .\nas mr . hamman sees it , the biggest reason why more mutual fund companies aren ' t aggressively entering the active - etf sector is that fund companies can still charge higher management fees for mutual funds than they can for etfs .\nactive mutual funds are not going anywhere soon , because commission - based brokers and advisers are still feeding that space ,\nhe said .\nthat ' s one thing a mutual fund does a much better job at than an etf \u2014 charging fees at the individual level through multiple share classes .\nmr . clarke doesn ' t agree with mr . hamman . in fact , he claimed he had never heard that argument before . he said that from the investor ' s standpoint , the focus should be on better performance in a better structure .\nfor the sixth year , investmentnews will host the best practices workshop & awards , bringing together the industry\u0092s top -

except the qualifying shares held by directors . as the company is dutchowned , its banking accounts were frozen under the presidential proclamation of may 10 , 1940 .\nbrown brothers harriman & co . have never had any financial interest in the union banking corporation or any of its subsidiaries , and have never profited in any way from its activities . the association of some of its partners with the thyssen corporation , it points , out , was entirely a matter of courtesy .\ngovernment circles assert that the assets of the union banking corporation and its subsidiaries were frozen because capital and control came from netherlands institution called the , bank voor handel en scheepvaart ( bank for trade , and shipping ) in rotterdam one of the thyssen string of banking houses on

documentary : \u0093original documents of the amsterdam based international institute of social history ( instituut voor sociale geschiedenis ) clearly show the connection between the bhs , the august thyssen bank from fritz thyssen and harriman\u0092s union banking corporation . \u0094\nthe union banking corporation was capitalized at $ 400 , 000 ( most of the stock held by roland harriman ) and

corporation first surfaced in antony sutton\u0092s 1975 book , wall street and the rise of hitler . sutton at that time did not know about the order of skull & bones . after becoming aware of the order in 1983 he expanded his writings on the subject in how the order creates war and revolution in 1984 , which was later published , with antony\u0092s three other booklets on the order of skull &

seizure of the company assets . what these files show is that on october 20 1942 the alien property custodian seized the assets of the ubc , of which prescott bush was a director . having gone through the books of the bank , further seizures were made against two affiliates , the holland - american trading corporation and the seamless steel equipment corporation . by november , the silesian - american company , another of prescott bush ' s ventures , had also been seized .\nin 1924 , his father - in - law , a well - known st louis investment banker , helped set him up in business in new york with averill harriman , the wealthy son of railroad magnate e h harriman in new york , who had gone into banking .\nthe thyssen bank in rotterdam which nominally owned the new york corporation was bombed out of existence by the invading nazis in may , 1940 . no one in new york professes to know what has happened to the officers of the rotterdam institution . not a word of instruction or advice has come from abroad .\n\u0093in order that you may understand clearly the reasons for our doubts , i should like to give you the background of our connection with the union banking corporation . our partner w . a . harriman was in europe in 1925 , and at that time he became acquainted with mr . fritz thyssen , the german industrialist . to the best of my knowledge , mr . thyssen formed the bank voor handel en scheepvaart and presumably controlled that institution . - at one of his meetings with mr . harriman , he told him he was forming a bank in new york to look after his interests in the united states and he asked mr . harriman to serve on the board . mr . harriman agreed that certain of his associates would serve in this capacity , and as a result various members of the harriman organizations and now of brown brothers harriman & co . , have been on the board ever since .\n\u0093while the department would , not feel free to object if your partners , mr . harriman , mr . bush , and your firm\u0092s manager , mr . pennington , should desire to resign as directors of the corporation , nevertheless the department would be gratified if these gentlemen could find it possible to remain on the board during this period of uncertainty .\nas it turned out , his involvement wasn\u0092t pursued by the press or political opponents during his senate campaigns a decade later . but the episode may well have been one of the catalysts for a dramatic change in his life . just as the union banking story broke , bush volunteered to be chairman of united service organizations , putting himself on the national stage for the first time . he traveled the country raising millions of dollars to help boost the morale of us troops during world war ii , enhancing his stature in a way that helped him get elected us senator . a son and grandson would become presidents .\nthe thyssen / union banking article was continued on page 22 in the financial news section , with three almost full columns plus another full column ancillary story on thyssen . the articles are reproduced in full in the following pages . michael kranish , the boston globe reporter , when we contacted in august 2003 to tell him that the articles were actually published in 1941 said , \u0093well , i wrote that so long ago , i can\u0092t remember now why ? if it is \u009141 ? why it says \u009142 . it is a mystery to me . i do not know what the situation is . but it definitely was there , that is all i can say . the copy that i have , you know , someone put the date in it ? maybe that was wrong . i certainly would have tried carefully to put the right date . \u0094 mike then wanted to know my purpose for looking in to this . i tell him i am a researcher and writer looking into prescott bush and union banking . his then last words on the subject were , \u0093i have looked very thoroughly and i did not find the evidence that the conspiracy theorist allege , so ? if the date is different i just don\u0092t know why that is . \u0094\nwe believe people have a right to expect more from the companies they do business with \u2013 and they can expect more from union bank & trust , a bank whose virginia roots go back to 1902 . by offering fair financial solutions and honest advice , we create opportunities for families and business owners .\nboth groeninger and kouwenhoven are directors of the local holland american trading corporation . groeninger is also on the board of the bank voor handel en scheepvaart and is a director of the vulcan rhine shipping co . , another unit in thyssen\u0092s industrial kingdom . kouwenhoven visited the united states about four or five years ago , mr . lievense said , but groeninger appears never to have been here .\nmr . lievense speaks in soft , low tones and merely smiled broadly when questioned about his association with herr thyssen . his name appears as a director of the thyssen holland american investment corporation , at rotterdam . he is a member of the board of the august thyssen bank , aktiengesellschaft , at berlin , and , he is also a director of the handelscompagnie ruilvkeer , a thyssen bartering company at amsterdam .\nwhat is also at issue is how much money bush made from his involvement . his supporters suggest that he had one token share . loftus disputes this , citing sources in\nthe banking and intelligence communities\nand suggesting that the bush family , through george herbert walker and prescott , got $ 1 . 5m out of the involvement . there is , however , no paper trail to this sum .\nbush and his partners at brown brothers harriman informed the government regulators that the account , opened in the late 1930s , was \u0093an unpaid courtesy for a client . the situation , \u0094 wrote kranish , \u0093grew more serious when the government seized union\u0092s assets under the trading with the enemy act , the sort of action that could have ruined bush\u0092s political dreams . \u0094\npacing the floor of his office on the twentyfifth floor of 39 broadway , he said , \u0093all i know is that i am here and that the united states government is exercising strict supervision of all activities of the bank and these corporation . i cannot tell you whom i am working . you may be sure there is really little to do . all these corporations in their best years have done less than $ 1 , 000 , 000 annually . \u0094\nhe is a member of the advisory board of the harvard law school program on corporate governance and a member of the board of directors of japan society inc . mr .

could have ruined bush\u0092s political dreams . \u0094 the phrase was an ominous one .\nby september may had traced the origins of the non - american board members and found that dutchman hj kouwenhoven - who met with harriman in 1924 to set up ubc - had several other jobs : in addition to being the managing director of voor handel he was also the director of the august thyssen bank in berlin and a director of fritz thyssen ' s union steel works , the holding company that controlled thyssen ' s steel and coal mine empire in germany .\ngroeninger is managing director of the thyssenowned halcyon line , with headquarters at rotterdam . it was this corporation which refused to transfer its headquarters and assets outside holland when the netherlands government warned all industrialists to take their properties to dutch colonies at the time of the nazi invasion . just before the arrival of the german forces at rotterdam , the british and dutch navies seized eleven of the thirteen ships of the line and incorporated them in the british shipping pool . it is understood that three of these ships have since been destroyed . only two ships of the line fell into the nazis , hands .\nwell , we have found proof that the article did indeed appear in july of 1941 . first we found on alex jones\u0092 urltoken website an article from the july 31 , 1941 , zanesville signal in ohio . the thyssen / union banking news story was in an ins ( international news service ) wire report , which says that it was \u0093disclosed today in a news story in the new york journal american . we then found , at ancestry . com , an ap wire report in the sheboygan press , a wisconsin newspaper of august 1 , 1941 which stated : \u0093the herald - tribune said thursday [ july , 31 , 1941 ] , that fritz thyssen , german industrialist credited with helping finance adolf hitler\u0092s rise to power , \u0091has $ 3 , 000 , 000 in american cash salted away in the bank vaults of downtown new york . \u0092\u0094 armed with the correct date , we were then able to find both the new york herald - tribune and new york journal american stories . the articles are presented in full later in this chapter .\nsenator bush served on the banking committee , many times as a contact person for world bank and federal reserve officials , who sometimes looked for more casual places to do business than the senate committee rooms . in his second term protecting his state\u0092s interests prescott also served as a member of the armed service committee . for years connecticut had received more per capita of the defense dollar than any other state earning itself the sobriquet , the \u0093arsenal of democracy . \u0094 that the military - industrial complex began in connecticut in the 1800s is relevant but another tale .\n\u2013 ms . jaedicke is the former deputy comptroller for compliance policy with the office of the comptroller of the currency , where she spent 33 years in a number of senior roles , including national bank examiner , director for multinational banking and deputy comptroller for supervision operations . ms . jaedicke also served as chair or member of the following regulatory committees : occ committee on consumer issues ; ffiec task force for consumer compliance ; occ enforcement committee and the occ bank secrecy act / anti - money laundering committee . after her government service , she joined promontory financial group as managing director .\n. . . as the general manager , he acted on behalf of the harrimans and invested their money in the third reich . i remember when the corporate media finally acknowledged the existence of this story a year or so ago , and it immediately got played down because prescott was a\nminority shareholder\nin union bank . but as the general manager , grandpa bush was paid to make those investments for the harrimans , though they obviously weren ' t complaining . silesian - american , incidentally , was connected to a german steel company which used concentration camp labor . halliburton would have been proud .\npresident bush ' s grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the federal government because of its ties to a german industrialist who helped bankroll adolf hitler ' s rise to power , government documents show .\ne . roland harriman , the bank chairman and brother of former new york gov . w . averell harriman ( search ) , held 3 , 991 shares . bush had one share .\nboth harrimans and bush were partners in the new york investment firm of brown brothers , harriman and co . , which handled the financial transactions of the bank as well as other financial dealings with several other companies linked to bank voor handel that were confiscated by the u . s

reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the trading with the enemy act are still being felt by today ' s president\ngeorge bush ' s grandfather , the late us senator prescott bush , was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of nazi germany .\nthe guardian has obtained confirmation from newly discovered files in the us national archives that a firm of which prescott bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of nazism .\nhis business dealings , which continued until his company ' s assets were seized in 1942 under the trading with the enemy act , has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in germany against the bush family by two former slave labourers at auschwitz and to a hum of pre - election controversy .\nthe evidence has also prompted one former us nazi war crimes prosecutor to argue that the late senator ' s action should have been grounds for prosecution for giving aid and comfort to the enemy .\nthe debate over prescott bush ' s behaviour has been bubbling under the surface for some time . there has been a steady internet chatter about the\nbush / nazi\nconnection , much of it inaccurate and unfair . but the new documents , many of which were only declassified last year , show that even after america had entered the war and when there was already significant information about the nazis ' plans and policies , he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very german businesses that financed hitler ' s rise to power . it has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty .\nremarkably , little of bush ' s dealings with germany has received public scrutiny , partly because of the secret status of the documentation involving him . but now the multibillion dollar legal action for damages by two holocaust survivors against the bush family , and the imminent publication of three books on the subject are threatening to make prescott bush ' s business history an uncomfortable issue for his grandson , george w , as he seeks re - election .\nbush was also on the board of at least one of the companies that formed part of a multinational network of front companies to allow thyssen to move assets around the world .\nthree sets of archives spell out prescott bush ' s involvement . all three are readily available , thanks to the efficient us archive system and a helpful and dedicated staff at both the library of congress in washington and the national archives at the university of maryland .\nthe first set of files , the harriman papers in the

and mining ) properties have been in possession of and have been operated by the german government and have undoubtedly been of considerable assistance to that country ' s war effort\n.\nprescott bush , a 6ft 4in charmer with a rich singing voice , was the founder of the bush political dynasty and was once considered a potential presidential candidate himself . like his son , george , and grandson , george w , he went to yale where he was , again like his descendants , a member of the secretive and influential skull and bones student society . he was an artillery captain in the first world war and married dorothy walker , the daughter of george herbert walker , in 1921 .\none of the first jobs walker gave bush was to manage ubc . bush was a founding member of the bank and the incorporation documents , which list him as one of seven directors , show he owned one share in ubc worth $ 125 .\nthe bank was set up by harriman and bush ' s father - in - law to provide a us bank for the thyssens , germany ' s most powerful industrial family .\naugust thyssen , the founder of the dynasty had been a major contributor to germany ' s first world war effort and in the 1920s , he and his sons fritz and heinrich established a network of overseas banks and companies so their assets and money could be whisked offshore if threatened again .\nby the time fritz thyssen inherited the business empire in 1926 , germany ' s economic recovery was faltering . after hearing adolf hitler speak , thyssen became mesmerised by the young firebrand . he joined the nazi party in december 1931 and admits backing hitler in his autobiography , i paid hitler , when the national socialists were still a radical fringe party . he stepped in several times to bail out the struggling party : in 1928 thyssen had bought the barlow palace on briennerstrasse , in munich , which hitler converted into the brown house , the headquarters of the nazi party . the money came from another thyssen overseas institution , the bank voor handel en scheepvarrt in rotterdam .\nby the late 1930s , brown brothers harriman , which claimed to be the world ' s largest private investment bank , and ubc had bought and shipped millions of dollars of gold , fuel , steel , coal and us treasury bonds to germany , both feeding and financing hitler ' s build - up to war .\nbetween 1931 and 1933 ubc bought more than $ 8m worth of gold , of which $ 3m was shipped abroad . according to documents seen by the guardian , after ubc was set up it transferred $ 2m to bbh accounts and between 1924 and 1940 the assets of ubc hovered around $ 3m , dropping to $ 1m only on a few occasions .\nin 1941 , thyssen fled germany after falling out with hitler but he was captured in france and detained for the remainder of the war .\nthere was nothing illegal in doing business with the thyssens throughout the 1930s and many of america ' s best - known business names invested heavily in the german economic recovery . however , everything changed after germany invaded poland in 1939 . even then it could be argued that bbh was within its rights continuing business relations with the thyssens until the end of 1941 as the us was still technically neutral until the attack on pearl harbor . the trouble started on july 30 1942 when the new york herald - tribune ran an article entitled\nhitler ' s angel has $ 3m in us bank\n. ubc ' s huge gold purchases had raised suspicions that the bank was in fact a\nsecret nest egg\nhidden in new york for thyssen and other nazi bigwigs . the alien property commission ( apc ) launched an investigation ."]}

called multilateral interchange fee .\nthe commission was concerned that the multilateral interchange fees charged by visa were disproportionate and restricted competition between the banks of the merchants , thereby inflating charges to shops and other merchants that accept payment cards and ultimately increasing prices for consumers .\nafter a lengthy investigation and discussions with visa europe , the commission today adopted a commitments decision , under article 9 of the antitrust regulation , making legally - binding the remedies provided by visa europe to solve the competition problems we had identified .\nthis case is far reaching as it concerns all cross - border transactions as well as national transactions where the interchange fee is fixed by visa . when the commitments were proposed the countries concerned were greece , hungary , iceland , ireland , italy , malta , sweden , luxembourg and the netherlands . but this list could change during the course of the commitments , for example if visa becomes responsible for setting the interchange fees in other countries .\nunder the decision , the multilateral interchange fee for consumer debit cards in the countries concerned will be substantially cut to 0 . 2 % of the transaction cost , the level where merchants have no preference whether consumers pay with a visa debit card or with cash .\nthe commitments will cover several hundred million transactions every year worth between \u20ac10 and 20 billion . today ' s commitments decision will bring concrete benefits to merchants , who are often small and medium sized firms , and to consumers themselves .\npermettez -

it would be a brave investor who was happy with 49 % control . i know sia did it with virgin , but in general if i was an airline cfo or ceo , i wouldn ' t like it .\nthere is your problem with foreign ownership then . no airline in their right mind would be interested in touching a troubled alliance partner with a bargepole . having said that , qantas were interested in american while prices were low though i doubt ba or lufthansa would be so forward in helping out .\ngovernments around the world seem to regard airlines as being immune to market forces . i can ' t think of any other business where all these draconian and restirctive regulations exist , apart from defence work . the irony is that the airlines need to consolidate . the only big market where this is possible is europe - a ban on\nforeign\nownership would be illegal within the eu ( foreign = another country within the eu ) so there will certainly be consolidation in europe . the rest of the world needs to follow .\ni 100 % agree . too much emphasis is placed on airlines as a national icon , it is an outdated system and frankly airlines should be a business not part of a countries vital infrastructure . governments bailing airlines out in crisis ( would this of happened in any other industry ? ) and agreements that protect an airlines identity plus market are all rooted in a different era . it is survival of the fittest today and with concepts such as open skies plus foreign ownership it is time airlines and governments woke up to the fact that to survive national identity cannot be a stumbling block and consolidation must occur . though within the eu does competition regulations not come into play ?\nanother idea : uk airways london city to birmingham 1x daily manchester 2x daily leeds 1x daily newcastle 1xdaily amsterdam 6x daily fleet : 2 dash 8 100s it would be primarily targeting buisness travelers , with low fares and some frills . seating pitch higher than most airlines , only 30 seats on the planes .\nthe first aeroplane to land in jersey touched down on the beach at west park , on the island\u2019s south coast in august 1912 . however , it was to be another 25 years before jersey had an airport on dry land !\nrecognising the growing importance and popularity of air travel , the jersey chamber of commerce pushed for a purpose -

crunching resources made available by the app ecosystem , went from an ownership rate of 35 percent just five years ago to 68 percent today . tablets have taken a similar explosive trajectory , going from 3 percent ownership in 2010 to 45 percent today .\nthis growing hunger for mobile devices required exponentially more data processing power and a vast leap in traffic across wireless networks . the growth rate can only be described in terms of zettabytes ( trillions of gigabytes ) . in 2009 , the world had three quarters of one zettabyte under management . one year later , data generated across networks had nearly doubled to 1 . 2 zb , most of it enterprise traffic . by the end of last year there were 7 . 9 zb of data generated and 6 . 3 zb were under management by enterprises . in the next four years , you can expect there to be 35 zb of data created by devices , with 28 zb managed by enterprises .\ndevelopers have had to work furiously to restructure their approach to software , databases , and network management tools just to avoid being swamped in all this data .\na brief history of financial record keeping in the world of commerce , the data that matters most all relates to financial records . these define the health of the business today and the potential for growing the customer base in the future . that\u2019s why financial data has become ground zero in the war between cybercriminals and data - security experts .\nin the 1980s , the financial industry was still dominated by mainframes . the personal computer revolution that was sweeping the rest of the business world didn\u2019t impact finance . huge servers and clients were the only way to manage the vast amount of data ( compared to processor speeds at the time ) that had to be crunched . you might have to use cobol or write sql queries against a db2 database to get the financial answers you needed to make the right business decisions ( versus what is possible today ) . mainframes were normally closed systems with applications written specifically for them by outside consultants .\nall that changed dramatically in the 1990s , with the growth of faster servers , open systems , and the connectivity of internet protocols . mid - sized computers for business gained immense processing power at lower costs . mainframes began to be repurposed for back - end processing of transaction data as the finance industry consolidated batch - processing projects like billing .\ncomputers like the ibm as / 400 , which had run on ibm proprietary software in the past , gained the facility for running financial software like sap , peoplesoft , and jd edwards . by the late 1990s , the appearance of linux and virtual machines running inside mainframes opened up the entire finance sector to a flurry of new open - source development projects .\nsimultaneously , network connectivity to the internet and then the web opened up financial data providers to a new threat from outside : hackers . before , password management and inside jobs were the biggest threat to financial data security . connectivity opened a window to a new generation of cybercriminals .\nprogramming challenges for data security in the weeks after black friday in 2013 , as the holiday shopping rush was in full swing , a data - security specialist announced that a supermarket chain had become a target . his report warned that the breach was serious , \u201cpotentially involving millions of customer credit and debit card records . \u201d there had been attacks on companies before , but this attack netted financial data on 40 million shoppers during the busiest retail period of the year .\nthe biggest problem is that attacks like these are increasing in their intensity and sophistication . in fact , 2016 saw a 458 percent jump in attacks that searched iot connections for vulnerabilities . meanwhile , another front has opened up on employee mobile devices for enterprises . last year alone , there were over 8 billion malware attacks , twice the number of the year before , most of which went after weaknesses in the android ecosystem . in terms of the data most sought after by hackers , healthcare businesses registered slightly more attacks than even those in the financial industry .\ndata - security experts have to stay ahead of risks from both the outside and the inside , whether they are malicious or accidental . both can be equally devastating , regardless of intent .\nprotect the physical servers by tightly limiting access to a shortlist of only employees who must access them for work . make sure the list is updated regularly .\ncreate a network vulnerability profile . assess any weak points , update antivirus software , test firewalls , and change tcp / ip ports from default settings .\nprotect every file and folder that captures database information like log files . maintain access levels and permissions dynamically .\nreview which server upgrade software is necessary . all features and services not in common use provide an attack vector for cybercriminals .\nidentify and encrypt your most sensitive data , even if it resides on the back end with no interface to end users .\nthese are really just the basics , though . monitoring network traffic , recognizing malicious code , and responding in time to make a difference represent the biggest challenges for the future .\nwhat\u2019s next for fintech programming for financial technology ( fintech ) is among the most exciting , fastest changing areas of it right now . startups involved in online or peer - to - peer payments , wealth management , equity crowdfunding , and related innovations were able to bring in $ 19 billion in investment in the past year alone . the white house signaled its support for the contribution of financial software to the greater economy in saying , \u201ctechnology has always been an integral part of financial services \u2014 from atms to securities trading platforms . but , increasingly , technology isn\u2019t just changing the financial services industry , it\u2019s changing the way consumers and business owners relate to their finances , and the way institutions function in our financial system . \u201d\n\u201call banks have the same problems , but the capabilities to solve these problems have changed . banks are taking different approaches , but the endgame is the same , making sure the customers can access their money when they want and how they want . \u201d\nimagining the future the technologies developed to handle the above difficulties have much wider applications for programmers in 2020 and beyond . the bigger picture is that the coming age of ubiquitous connectivity will require much greater enterprise commitment to infrastructure maintenance and software performance . as the iot brings machine - to - machine ( m2m ) networking to our homes and cars , that will also demand a vastly higher bar in terms of experience . fortunately , those embracing the latest in devops best - practices are uniquely qualified to approach these problems with one eye on what customers expect and another on what will keep the business flourishing .\nthe post code compiled : a short history of programming \u2014 part iii appeared first on application performance monitoring blog | appdynamics .\npublished february 11 , 2017 \u0096 reads 4 , 629 copyright \u00a9 2017 sys -

value offerings within a \u201csystem of systems\u201d . for example , you might sell a tractor today . but once that tractor is smart and connected to the cloud , your products and services will become part of a highly interconnected agricultural management solution . take this example of a smart , connected home bar product . is it in the consumer electronics industry ? the liquor industry ? the home entertainment industry ? all of the above ?\ngrid connect manufacturers wireless networking products . they also have their own cloud platform integration services and a smart home product line called connectsense .\nbarcelona -

attendance at nickelodeons had doubled since 1908 , and an estimated 49 million tickets were sold each week in the u . s . by 1914 . those customers expected to see some news alongside the melodramas and comedy shorts that were the staples of early cinema . and there were obvious advantages in controlling the way in which the newsreel men chose to portray the revolution , particularly for villa , whose main bases were close to the u . s . border .\nthere was plenty of bias : a contemporary cartoon from the new york times . click to view in higher resolution .\ntoday\u2019s post is an attempt to uncover the truth about this little - known incident\u2013and , as it turns out , it\u2019s a story that is well worth telling , not least because , researching it , i found that tale of villa and his movie contract informs the broader question how just how accurate other early newsreels were . so this is also a post about the borderlands where truth meets fiction , and the problematic lure of the entertaining story . finally , it deals in passing with the odd way that fictions can become real , if they are rooted in the truth and enough people believe them .\nthere was plenty of bias , most of it in the form of prejudice against mexican \u201cgreasers . \u201d there were conflicts of interest as well . several american media owners had extensive commercial interests in mexico ; william randolph hearst , who controlled vast tracts in northern mexico , wasted no time in pressing for u . s . intervention when villa plundered his estates , appropriating 60 , 000 head of cattle . and there was eagerness to file ticket - selling , circulation - boosting sensation , too ; villa himself was frequently portrayed as \u201ca monster of brutality and cruelty , \u201d particularly later in the war , when he crossed the border and raided the town of columbus , new mexico .\n\u201cbattles\u201d innumerable have been fought , scores of armies have been annihilated , wiped out , blown up , massacred and wholly destroyed according to the glowing reports of commanders on either side , but the supply of cannon fodder does not appear to have diminished appreciably\u2026 . never was there a war in which more gunpowder went off with less harm to the opposing forces .\npancho villa ( seated , in the presidential chair ) and emiliano zapata ( seated , right , behind sombrero ) in the national palace in mexico city , november 1914 .\nwhat is certain is that fierce competition for \u201cnews\u201d produced a situation ripe for exploitation . all three of the principal leaders of the period\u2014villa , zapata and the federal generalissimo victoriano huerta \u2014sold access and eventually themselves to u . s . newsmen , trading inconvenience for the chance to position themselves as worthy recipients of foreign aid .\npancho villa , general in command of the constitutionalist army in northern mexico , will in future carry on his warfare against president huerta as a full partner in a moving - picture venture with harry e . aitken\u2026 . the business of gen . villa will be to provide moving picture thrillers in any way that is consistent with his plans to depose and drive huerta out of mexico , and the business of mr . aitken , the other partner , will be to distribute the resulting films throughout the peaceable sections of mexico and to the united states and canada ."]}

hours scenario for all our favorite playstation characters . then we got our super geek director / writer zeb wells ( who y\u2019all may know from his comic book writing history ) to dive in and direct . magic in a bottle . \u201d\nso yes , all three star wars specials are just a complication of quick sketches . the first robot chicken star wars was really a mix of all star wars movies . it included a few sketches they had already done , as well as a lot of new material . the second and third ones focused almost solely on empire and jedi , respectively .\ninfowars host and alex jones sells a lot more than just conspiracy theories . as revealed on last week tonight with john oliver , jones has an extensive online store that sells products ranging from the odd to the downright bizarre . as host john oliver pointed out , jones spends a lot of infowars \u2018 running time directing viewers to his online store . there , they can buy survival gear , organic body wash , coffee , chocolate bone broth , and aggressively and masculinely branded moist wipes for \u201cthe perineal area . \u201d there\u2019s even a \u201cbill clinton rape whistle , \u201d because of course there is .\nmd : he has to deal with the knowledge that his father owns him . this episode also did a nice job of portraying a dynamic where lea only owns a handful of slaves . when he talks to chicken george about the possibility of george getting married , he is very clear that he expects him to keep his wife\u2019s \u201cbelly full\u201d in order to \u201cincrease my stock . \u201d\nmd : this duel scene was not in the book or the original series . i agree that it fits in the narrative . i could also see a more subtle commentary on what \u201ccivilized\u201d white culture looks like\u2014that you go out in a field and shoot at each other . i couldn\u2019t help laughing when chicken george has to encourage lea by saying , \u201cyou the gamecock now ! \u201d\nmd : it also showed how many of these enslaved characters have specialized knowledge that is really valuable . we didn\u2019t talk about that in the last episode , but kunta had skill with the horses , and mingo and chicken george have these valuable skills training the birds . what did you make of all the cockfighting ? this has to be the most cockfighting on television this decade , right ?\nmd : yes , this was a very violent episode , wasn\u2019t it ? and in very different ways : the duel is bloody , lea rapes kizzy repeatedly , and then the gamecocks are fighting to the death every other scene . each one has an impact on the lives and futures of the enslaved characters . one thing i liked about the cockfighting theme was the absurdity of chicken george\u2019s freedom turning on whether that bird won or lost .\nmd : chicken george and mingo become immediately suspect . it\u2019s like it suddenly dawns on lea and other slaveholders that enslaved people do not want to be held in bondage and might actively resist . the reference to nat turner also made me think of how much historical ground the series is trying to cover\u2014how we move from the war of independence to nat turner to [ in the finale ] the civil war . chunks of time keep passing by .\nprune face ! also i wish we could get a consensus on the movie reference because i am also sure the freeze frame , narration , song ( that specific song ) was from a movie . i saw a bit of this at nyc comic con so i knew going in it was an attempt at a long form story with skits orbiting around , i suppose if you didn ' t , it could be disconcerting since that is not robot chicken ' s style .\nyesterday , matt and i talked about the roots remake as an action flick , and the re - envisioning of kizzy , kunta kinte\u2019s daughter , as a warrior .

jean page ) and george\u2019s tricky relationship with tom lea ( jonathan rhys meyers ) , his ne\u2019er - do - well master and unacknowledged father .\nmm : it\u2019s hard not to love chicken george . he\u2019s this cocky , vibrant young guy who is allowed to train and fight his master\u2019s gamecocks rather than working the fields . he\u2019s optimistic and trusting , whereas everyone around him , from his mom to old mingo\u2014who teaches him everything he knows about the birds\u2014has learned by experience that white people are not to be trusted . we also get to know tom lea , kizzy\u2019s serial rapist . he\u2019s a small -

engaging with older lapsed consumers .\nour roots go all the way back to 1952 illinois , when entrepreneur and fast food franchising pioneer al tunick purchased some deep fryers from a restaurant that was going out of business .\ni also know that we are likely to make our way more successfully in the world if we are secure in our british identity , and confident about its future . that security and confidence is important for the inner strength it gives us in our conduct of business with others . i want to argue the case why we can be confident about the strength and the future of british identity .\nsadly , it has become fashionable for some to argue that british identity is under siege , perhaps even in a state of terminal decline . the threat is said to come in three forms .\nfirst , the arrival of immigrants who , allegedly , do not share our cultural values and who fail to support the england cricket team . few dare to state this case explicitly , but it is the unmistakable subliminal message .\nsecond , our continued membership of the european union , which is said to be absorbing member states into \u0091a country called europe\u0092 .\nthird , the devolution of power to scotland , wales and northern ireland , which is seen as a step to the break - up of the uk .\nthis evening , i want to set out the reasons for being optimistic about the future of britain and britishness . indeed , i want to go further and argue that in each of the areas where the pessimists identify a threat , we should instead see developments that will strengthen and renew british identity .\nthe first element in the debate about the future of britishness is the changing ethnic composition of the british people themselves . the british are not a race , but a gathering of countless different races and communities , the vast majority of which were not indigenous to these islands .\nin the pre - industrial era , when transport and communications were often easier by sea than by land , britain was unusually open to external influence ; first through foreign invasion , then , after britain achieved naval supremacy , through commerce and imperial expansion . it is not their purity that makes the british unique , but the sheer pluralism of their ancestry .\nlondon was first established as the capital of a celtic britain by romans from italy . they were in turn driven out by saxons and angles from germany . the great cathedrals of this land were built mostly by norman bishops , but the religion practised in them was secured by the succession of a dutch prince . outside our parliament , richard the lionheart proudly sits astride his steed . a symbol of british courage and defiance . yet he spoke french much of his life and depended on the jewish community of england to put up the ransom that freed him from prison .\nthe idea that britain was a \u0091pure\u0092 anglo - saxon society before the arrival of communities from the caribbean , asia and africa is fantasy . but if this view of british identity is false to our past , it is false to our future too . the global era has produced population movements of a breadth and richness without parallel in history .\nthis pluralism is not a burden we must reluctantly accept . it is an immense asset that contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of our nation .\nour cultural diversity is one of the reasons why britain continues to be the preferred location for multinational companies setting up in europe . the national airline of a major european country has recently relocated its booking operation to london precisely because of the linguistic variety of the staff whom it can recruit here .\nand it isn ' t just our economy that has been enriched by the arrival of new communities . our lifestyles and cultural horizons have also been broadened in the process . this point is perhaps more readily understood by young britons , who are more open to new influences and more likely to have been educated in a multi - ethnic environment . but it reaches into every aspect of our national life .\ncoming to terms with multiculturalism as a positive force for our economy and society will have significant implications for our understanding of britishness .\nthe modern notion of national identity cannot be based on race and ethnicity , but must be based on shared ideals and aspirations . some of the most successful countries in the modern world , such as the united states and canada , are immigrant societies . their experience shows how cultural diversity , allied to a shared concept of equal citizenship , can be a source of enormous strength . we should draw inspiration from their experience .\nto deny that britain is european is to deny both our geography and our history . our culture , our security , and our prosperity , are inseparable from the continent of europe .\nunderlying the anti - european case is the belief that there is an alternative future available to britain . it used to be argued that the european union is not europe and that britain could exist perfectly comfortably as one of a number of european countries maintaining a loose association with brussels . but with the majority of non - eu states now clamouring for full membership , the changing geopolitics of europe have consigned that argument to the past .\nsome anti - europeans now argue that britain ' s destiny lies outside europe , as part of \u0091the english - speaking world\u0092 and a member of nafta .\nyet britain trades three times more with the rest of the eu than we do with nafta . the reason why over four thousand us companies have located here is because they want to export to europe . if they only wanted to sell to nafta , they would have stayed at home .\neurope is where our domestic quality of life is most directly at stake , whether the issue is environmental standards , the fight against organised crime , policy on asylum or stability on the continent .\nbut it is not simply a question of economic and political realism that ties britain to europe , compelling as those arguments are . britain is also a european country in the more profound sense of sharing european assumptions about how society should be organised . the last international survey of social attitudes put britain squarely within the european mainstream on our approach to social justice and public services , such as health .\nthere are strong ties of kinship between britain and north america . these are an immense asset to us in the modern world . the us and the uk are each other\u0092s closest allies . but our value as an ally to our friends in washington is in direct proportion to our influence with our partners in europe .\ni do not accept that to acknowledge our european identity diminishes our britishness . nor do i accept that membership of the european union is a threat to our national identity .\nnone of our european partners , with their own proud national traditions , seem afflicted by this self - doubt and insecurity . the idea that the french , the germans or the spanish are attempting to erase their national identities by constructing a \u0091country called europe\u0092 is the mother of all euromyths . on the contrary , our partners see their membership of a successful european union as underwriting , not undermining , their assertion of national identity .\nfor france , germany and italy , the european community was central to the renewal of their nations and the regeneration of their economies in the post - war period . to spain , portugal and greece , joining the european community was an affirmation of their freedom from fascism and a guarantee of a democratic future . to austria and finland , joining the european community was a celebration of the end of the cold war , which enabled them to make a free choice in their national orientation .\nthe same is true of the dozen new candidates for membership from the former communist bloc . all of them aspire to membership of the european union because it will be an affirmation of their regained independence . none of them see it as a threat to their national identity .\nireland joined at the same time as britain . its period of membership has transformed ireland into a country with a dynamic economy and a cosmopolitan society . the result has been a new assertiveness of national identity , and confidence in their culture . we can see that for ourselves in britain through the new affection for irish music and dance , and the attachment to irish pubs ."]}

and third - largest cleaning products companies in the $ 15 billion industry .\njohnson wax said it expects some job losses and plant closings if the deal closes but said it did not have specifics at this time .\nthat ' s due in part to having a relatively new name and being a business that caters to commercial and industrial customers all over the world .\nfrom its sturtevant headquarters , the company directs a worldwide workforce of about 11 , 000 and has sales in 175 countries . it employs 1 , 000 people in wisconsin .\nmost people at home don ' t know about us because what we do by definition is outside the home ,\nsaid john matthews , senior vice president for corporate affairs and chief of staff to the company ' s president .\nan area where we really see a huge opportunity is in beginning to seriously treat the milwaukee -

in 2008 and 2009 , energoatom successfully extended the operating licenses of three of its reactors by 20 years . based on these and other subsequent success with npp life extensions , energoatom is working with the european bank for reconstruction and development ( ebrd ) as well as euratom to upgrade additional reactors . though the life extension program is being challenged under the un convention on environmental impact assessment in a transboundary context , energoatom continues with life extensions . fuel - for decades , ukraine had been nearly entirely dependent on russian nuclear fuel procurement from rosatom because ukraine does not convert , enrich , or fabricate its fuel . despite a lack of domestic enrichment capacity , ukraine does possess mineral uranium resources , including approximately 2 percent of the world\u2019s uranium reserves . traditionally , ukraine sent its uranium concentrate and zirconium alloy to russia for enrichment . to reduce the risk of complete dependence on russia , however , in december 2014 , ukraine signed the contract with westinghouse electric company to begin diversifying its nuclear fuel supply . in 2016 ukraine imported 28 . 3 percent of nuclear fuel elements from westinghouse , and in 2017 it plans to increase these imports . ukraine took an additional step towards diversification in august 2016 when it signed a supply contract for enriched uranium with the anglo - german - dutch company , urenco . waste management - ukraine has an open fuel cycle and two storage facilities for spent fuel , one dry at the zaporozhye plant and one wet at the chernobyl plant . currently , ukraine sends its spent fuel to russia and energoatom pays russia $ 150 - 200 million per annum to accept and store this spent nuclear fuel . in january 2015 , energoatom and the u . s . firm holtec signed a contract to construct a centralized dry storage facility for spent fuel ( csfsf ) in the chernobyl exclusion zone to reduce ukraine ' s reliance on russia . in january 2017 , energoatom announced a tender for the preparation of the construction site for csfsf , which it will commission in the third quarter of 2018 .\nkhmelnytskyi nuclear power plant is the start of the deactivated rzesz\u00f3w\u2013khmelnytskyi powerline , one of three 750 kv lines running from ukraine to the european union . energoatom are considering disconnecting unit 2 from the ukrainian power grid and connecting it to the burshtyn tes energy island which operates on the european power grid , to facilitate exports to poland and hungary .\nthe combined forces of south korea and ukraine represents a wealth of nuclear power experience and expertise . khnp operates 24 reactors and has six additional units under construction . for its part , energoatom operates 15 reactors at four different nuclear power plants . the countries have respective nuclear capacities of 21 , 716 mwe and 13 , 835 mwe , respectively .\nthe detectives of the national anti -

year reporting period , he said , was the cabinet of ministers ' 15 june decision to start a pilot project for a ukraine - european union energy bridge . as part of this project - to supply electricity from the khmelnitski nuclear power plant to poland and other eu countries - energoatom aims to prepare and submit six projects for government approval .\nthe two oldest units in ukraine , rovno 1 & 2 , were to be replaced as part of the 2006 nuclear power strategy . in 2018 , however , energoatom signed an agreement with holtec international to replace them by 2030 with multiple smr - 160 units . it is intended that this will be a pilot project , and will set up a manufacturing hub for these reactors .\nhowever , lack of payment is delaying the return of used fuel from ukraine too russia for reprocessing . russian state nuclear corporation rosatom has delayed acceptance of the first batch of used nuclear fuel from ukraine this year because of energoatom ' s failure to pay . oleg kryukov , director of public policy on radwaste , used fuel and nuclear decommissioning at rosatom , told journalists at the viii international forum atomexpo 2016 :\nthe contract is in force but there are problems with payments in ukraine now due to a suit against energoatom and the freezing of its accounts . there are no payments ; therefore , we had to postpone taking back the first batch of used fuel this year ,\nkryukov said . however , he added that rosatom intends to continue working under this contract .\nbut\nthe positives outweighed the negatives\nin the reporting period , he added , and energoatom managed to improve its financial position significantly , he said , with a net profit for january - june 2015 of uah 2 billion ( $ 93 . 7 million ) compared with a net loss in the same period of 2014 of uah 3 . 536 billion ( $ 166 million ) .\nin august and october 2004 khmelnitski 2 and rovno 4 respectively were connected to the grid , bringing their long and interrupted construction to an end and adding 1900 mwe to replace that lost by closure of chernobyl 1 & 3 in 1996 and 2000 respectively . they were completed by energoatom using a consortium of framatome anp and atomstroyexport . see fuller account of k2 -

it ' s the one with rare on the cover ) has an interview with hiroyuki takahashi , one of the head honchos of team sonic ( later camelot ) , the folks behind the shining force series . it ' s a neat read , if mainly because it shows their strained relationship at the time , and how they jumped ship to work mainly on nintendo properties ( what with mario tennis , mario golf , and golden sun . )\nnow , most srpgers view shining force as kind of a fire emblem - lite - the base mechanics are similar , but it ' s a bit simplified , and much more player friendly . yakahashi claims that he hated fire emblem and its turn - based style , and instead pointed to a pc88 strategy game called silver ghost , by a now defunct japanese company called\n. i was curious about the connection so i booted up an emulator and gave it a go .\nthe main reason takahashi pointed to liking silver ghost was due to its real time action and multi - character system . it ' s very similar to other japanese action - rpgs of the time , like ys and hydlide , where you scamper around and ram into enemies to attack them . instead of controlling a single character , though , you control an army of about a dozen people . by default , you control the leader , and the rest of your soldiers haphazardly follow you , engaging in combat with anything that comes close to them . you can switch to any other character at any time to take control of them , although your fellow soldiers usually won ' t bother following anyone beside the leader . it ' s a neat little game , but just what , exactly , was the shining force connection ? shining force was still turn - based and silver ghost plays nothing like it . i guess maybe the graphics and general style could ' ve inspired it , but silver ghost doesn ' t really look all that much different from any other similar game of the time . maybe it ' s just that silver ghost convinced him that strategy rpgs didn ' t necessarily have to be so boring , but he still want back to the genre standards when making his own console game ? shining force is , as mentioned before , a lot friendlier , allowing you to talk around towns like standard jrpgs , and you control characters directly rather than pointing and clicking with a cursor , so maybe that mentality spilled over . this brings up another point though . shining force iii for the saturn was the last true shining force game , because all of its spin - offs were crap lousy action - rpgs ( not counting the gba remake of the first game , or the recent jp - only ds game , which was outsourced to flight plan , which basically does nothing but srpgs . ) i always figured sega took the series in that direction because the original staff was long gone , but as it turned out , the original staff really wasn ' t all that enamored with turn - based games anyway . so it ' s more a typical case of sega being sega and doing stupid things with their properties then . anyway , you can download the disk image and give the game a shot , if you ' d like , or check out this japanese page for some in - depth info on it .\nnaked boy with bloody sword . . . wtf ! ? other than that , this looks like a cool game . is there any ppc - compatible pc88 emu for osx ?\nahh yes , this was written by jonti davies i believe . gamestm has now , sadly , taken to not crediting its writers in an attempt to create a unified image . that ' s just depresses .\nashley popped up on the shining force central forums awhile back talking about it so i think it was him . i ' ve never actually played bokosuka wars so i can ' t say about the comparison .\nwhat are you talking about ? the shining soul games were awesome . i actually like action rpgs , however , and find strategy rpgs abhorrent .\ni was more referring to neo , ex and tears for the ps2 , and wisdom for the saturn ( which was developed by the team sonic guys . ) i only played soul ( the second one , i think ) for a few minutes but it really wasn ' t my kind of action - rpg . too kludgy and\nget right close to the enemies and wail on the attack button while numbers pop up until they die\nsorta bit that reminds me of a lot of western rpgs . i know some people seem to dig the second one , at least , so please correct me if i have the wrong impression !\nhmm , he may have spoken about it on the forums to promote the mag , but i ' m sure when i last spoke with him he said it was jonti who had interviewed the guys and wrote the piece - i think specifically at his request . but i could be wrong ! is jonti listed in the contributer ' s section near letters ?\neither way , shining force is much better than shining soul . out of curiosity , have you played shining force final conflict ? how was it ? any plans for a shining force article ? : )\nhi all . it was indeed jonti davies who wrote the feature , although that was after about three years of me nagging him to do so . shining force iii is and always will be my favourite game . thanks for the insightful look into silver ghost , kurt . it actually makes a lot of sense . . . there was an interview with the director of shining force neo a few years ago . after complaints about the move to action - rpg , he revealed that team sonic had always wanted to create a squad based rpg that played out in real - time but that the idea just wasn ' t fully realisable on mega drive . i dismissed the claim as pr bullshit at the time , but it does add up a lot more now . i still hate action - rpgs though . : p\njust heard about this game for the first time , thanks to episode 4 of\nhayate the combat butler : can ' t take my eyes off you .\ni figured that when the lead female character , nagi , showed this game , it was made up . so i was surprised to see that it was a real game ( as were the other games , manga , anime , etc . mention in the episode ) . i never played any of the japanese rpg games , save\nbreath of fire ii ,\nas i was always a pc gamer . as such , i was always playing other things . ^ _ ^ ; anyway , thanks for the info and review of\nsilver ghost .\nupdate -

time strategy video games ( often abbreviated as rts ) are strategy video games which do not have\nturns\nlike conventional turn - based strategy video games or board games . rather , game time progresses in\nreal time\n; that is , it is continuous rather than turn - by - turn . even so , many such games still require players to follow a progression of events , especially relating to the order in which structures and / or units may be constructed .\nthough some game genres share conceptual and gameplay similarities with the rts template , recognized genres are generally not subsumed as rts games . [ 1 ] for instance , city - building games , construction and management simulations , and games of the real - time tactics variety , are generally not considered to be\nreal - time strategy\n. [ 2 ]\nthe genre that is recognized today as\nreal - time strategy\nemerged as a result of an extended period of evolution and refinement . games that are today sometimes perceived as ancestors of the real - time strategy genre were never marketed or designed as such at the original date of publication . as a result , designating\nearly real - time strategy\ntitles is problematic because such games are being held up to modern standards . the genre initially evolved separately in japan , the united kingdom , and north america , afterwards gradually merging into a unified worldwide tradition .\nat least one source considers the intellivision ' s utopia ( 1982 ) by don daglow to be a precursor to real - time strategy . [ 13 ] in utopia , two players build resources and carry out combat by proxy . it contains the direct - manipulation tactical combat now common in that the players can assume direct control over a pt boat and sink the opponent ' s fishing boats . however , the game used a turn - based strategy interface , though one where the turns are timed . [ 14 ] in north america , the oldest game retrospectively classified as a precursor of real - time strategy by several sources is the ancient art of war ( 1984 ) [ 1 ] [ 15 ] from evryware ( distributed by br\u00f8derbund ) . in the united kingdom , the oldest precursor was nether earth , published on the zx spectrum in 1987 .\n1up considers real - time examples prior to herzog zwei to be tactical rather than strategic , due to most lacking the ability to construct units or manage resources . [ 16 ] herzog zwei , released for the mega drive / genesis in 1989 , is the earliest example of a game with a feature set that falls under the contemporary definition of modern real - time strategy . [ 17 ] [ 18 ] in herzog zwei , though the player only controls one unit , the manner of control foreshadowed the point - and - click mechanic of later games . it introduced much of the genre conventions , including unit construction and resource management , with the control and destruction of bases being an important aspect of the game , as were the economic / production aspects of those bases . [ 16 ]\nwestwood ' s dune ii : the building of a dynasty ( 1992 ) featured all the core concepts and mechanics of modern real - time strategy games that are still used today , [ 19 ] [ 20 ] such as using the mouse to move units , and gathering resources , [ 1 ] and as such served as the prototype for later real - time strategy games . according to its co - designer and lead programmer , joe bostic , a\nbenefit over herzog zwei is that we had the advantage of a mouse and keyboard . this greatly facilitated precise player control , which enabled the player to give orders to individual units . the mouse , and the direct control it allowed , was critical in making the rts genre possible . \u201d [ 21 ] it featured the core concepts of rts games : resource - building , base development and direct unit control .\nthe success of dune ii encouraged the development of such games as warcraft : orcs and humans ( 1994 ) , command & conquer ( 1995 ) , total annihilation ( 1997 ) , age of empires ( 1997 ) , starcraft ( 1998 ) , warzone 2100 ( 1998 ) , empire earth ( 2001 ) , and empires : dawn of the modern world ( 2003 ) . in fact , the designers of dune 2 traced its spiritual lineage back to the real - time simulation simcity ( 1989 ) and their previous game battletech : the crescent hawk ' s revenge ( 1988 ) , a real - time wargame without base - building elements .\nbecause of the generally faster - paced nature ( and the usually shallower learning curve ) , rts games have surpassed the popularity of conventional turn - based strategy video games . in the past , some traditional strategy gamers regarded rts games as\ncheap imitations\nof turn - based games , arguing that rts games had a tendency to devolve into\nclickfests\n, in which the player who was faster with the mouse generally won , because they could give orders to their units at a faster rate . real - time strategy enthusiasts counter that micromanagement involves not just fast clicking but also the ability to make sound tactical decisions under time pressure . it is noteworthy , however , that due to the games being shorter because of the faster pace of the game and absence of turn switching pauses , rts games are far more suitable for internet play than turn - based games ; this is indubitably an important reason for their popularity . furthermore , turn - based games are ill - suited to meet the increasing demand for realism from casual gamers and they require a greater time commitment than real - time strategy games .\nthe more recent generations of rts games usually have features which reduce the importance of fast mousework , enabling the player to focus more on overall strategy . for example , queuing allows the player to put in an order for multiple units at a single building instead of requiring the player to return to that building to order the next unit built whenever a unit ordered earlier is completed . the ability to set way points allows the player to give multiple movement commands to a unit at once . most games also give each unit strengths and weaknesses , discouraging players from simply ( and unskilfully ) overwhelming an opponent with so called\nrush\ntactics or\nswarm\ntactics in favour of more balanced armies and some strategy .\nattack the enemy , attempting to deprive him of resources and destroy his infrastructure .\nhowever , some games do not allow the player to create new units , or build bases . some of these games include myth and ground control . these games are purely tactical , forcing the player to make do with the units he or she is given .\nmost rts games also feature single - player campaigns - - a series of missions where a human player plays against the computer with a defined scenario and objectives , usually within the context of a background story . often each mission has a different style of play , sometimes dramatically so . it has become something like to a tradition for single - player campaigns to include at least one mission with no base construction or resource - gathering ; typically at the start of these missions the player is given a number of combat units , occasionally with a\nhero\nunit . these units must be used to complete the mission in a level which is usually mazelike ; often additional units can be gained as reinforcements or rescued as the mission progresses . these missions eliminate the resource - gathering , or\nmacromanagement\n, as it ' s called , and focus solely on micromanagement .\nfinally , some rts games , most notably homeworld ( 1999 ) , have attempted not only to break away from the traditional turn structure of strategy games but also from the idea of a 2d board . these games are played on a 3d battlefield .\nof the games that do allow the player to build up a base and an army , they seem to be diverging into at least two main camps : micro - management and macro - management .\nmicro - management games allow an army and base to be built , but they limit the size of the army ( sometimes , rather severely ) . the purpose of this is to create more of a tactical atmosphere , and to prevent one side from simply cranking out units and throwing them at the enemy until he collapses .\nby limiting the size of the army , the game requires the player to intelligently utilize his\npartially\nlimited troops . this is more similar to the purely tactical myth - style games . a good example of this type of game is warcraft iii : reign of chaos , where further units require more upkeep . to simplify the control , however , the player can combine individual units into groups . this is even more found in the game arenawars , where every player only has 1000 credits to build units . if the unit dies the credits are refunded .\non the other end are the macro - management games . these games have more of a focus on economic production and large - scale strategic maneuvering , and include games such as total annihilation .\nsome games , especially on the video game consoles , use rts merely as a vehicle to tell the story . for example , in the playstation 2 game kessen ( 2000 ) the player has a limited control over the units , as the game unfolds historical battles with a heavy use of cut - scenes .\nmassively multi - player online real - time strategy video games ( mmorts ) combine aspects of massively multi - player video games with real - time strategy .\nreal - time strategy games , have had an immense production increase on next generation consoles . due to more demand , and widening space of rts games , more and more developers are attempting to produce a strategy game .\nhowever , many strategy games have a reputation of needing a massive quantity of buttons to properly function , and still be unconfusing ( which explains why the pc was perfect ) . one of the main problems , viewed by critics , is rtses on the console either have too much difficulty controlling all the units on screen ultimately destroying the players ' experience , or are simplified to the point of being too easy . here are a few of the methods that have been adapted to attempt to solve the problem :\ngraphically rts games have evolved from 2d board - like view of dune ii : the building of a dynasty and warcraft : orcs and humans to visually - richer 3d with more detailed environments , such as in the first , warzone 2100 , and later games , such as warcraft iii : reign of chaos , empire earth , and command & conquer : generals .\nas companies are striving to come close to a cinematic level of visual quality , the improvements in graphics accelerate . in 2004 two landmark games were released : rome : total war from creative assembly and the lord of the rings : the battle for middle - earth from electronic arts .\ntwo notable games were also released in 2005 : act of war : direct action and age of empires iii . both games featured realistic physics ( age of empires iii used the havok physics engine ) , realistically destructible buildings and ever more stunning graphics . in addition act of war boasted a well developed technothriller story by dale brown told via machinima and live action cinematics . games like company of heroes also made a name for themselves thanks to their cinematics , graphics and realistic physics , in addition to the story , which was based on the real life world war ii , the level of strategy implemented and the high level of the ai .\nthis is an outdated page that references or contains outdated information . this page should be edited to include more recent information .\nadams , dan ( 7 april 2006 ) . the state of the rts . ign . retrieved on 2007 -

2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 from wikipedia , the free encyclopedia yoshitaka amano ( amano yoshitaka ? ) ( born july 28 , 1952 ) is a japanese artist known for his illustrations for vampire hunter d and for his character designs , image illustrations and title logo designs for the final fantasy video game series developed by square enix ( formerly square ) .\nplease note : site admin does not answer any questions . this is our readers discussion only .\nboa is not arpg . only in some of the earlyer arpgs ' s had\nboa ' like characters that started out with op items that you couldnt remove or give to friends ( that you also had to develop the character around . ) . like the special 2 characters in baldur ' s gate dark alliance 2 you got after beating the game on the 2 hardest difficulties . they also take skill to play and faceroll content , not just op gear ( long post starts here ) i dont think many of you ever played a arpg , the whole point of it was to beat the game . then beat it on a harder difficulty , make a build through some sort of skill tree . find out it sucks start over and make it the best that you can . finding out what weapons worked best for skills ( like slow high dps or fast low dps ) were you melee ? ranged ? or did you like the art of magic ? was you a caster magic or some sort of necromancer ? what did you enjoy playing the most . then came\nmmoarpgs\nnow many of you like to say\nits a single player game shut up ( i hate you people btw ^ ^ ) yes true it can be played as a single player game , just like every other freeking game . but most people chose to play with and / or trade with other people thus making it more then just a single player game . putting boa items ingame and makng them the best inslot knda ruin it . ( it being the experience of trading and dealing with other people . ) and then you have gold .\ngold\nis a bad thing in arpgs , especially if you dont have anyway to have a better / less easily farmed competing currency . this game took the concept of gold way to far and helped ruin the game . every arpg has a tipping point . and the way d3 set it up made it run its course 1000x faster then normal and not having some sort of ladder , where people can start fresh and whips all items , lvls , skills , makes it worse . d3 had alot of cool things , but they missed the basics and these basics are the building blocks of a great arpg .\ni call bs . i ' m also sure that c9 , vindictus , dragon nest , and spiral knights disagree with you .\noh wait , the extent of this player ' s gaming and general knowledge comes from wikipedia copy pasta .\nto the op : the sense of arpg was destroyed with the rmah . so ! @ # $ off and gimme my boa items . . . . seriously % ^ - * off all of you with ur billion gold items ahhjaahhahaah\nlol . of course the herpderps who play nothing but public games are gonna have no idea people are leaving . they ' re still trying to finish up nightmare\nindeed . their awful itemization makes gives me no interest in the item hunt .\njay wilson loves boas , he wears them all the time while fairy princess playing dress - up .\nwhich is a disastrous state given the central role of loot as a reward mechanism in an arpg .\nthe gameplay of silver ghost gave rise to the first queen series later that same year . it was also a precursor to the rts ( real - time strategy ) genre later defined by herzog zwei and dune ii .\nthe game is perhaps best known outside of japan for its influence on hiroyuki takahashi , the creator of the shining force series . takahashi cited this game as his main inspiration for shining force .\njavascript is disabled . for a better experience , please enable javascript in your browser before proceeding .\noh man kuro no ken ( black blade ) was such a fun game . fun fact : a friend tried translating it a long time ago but gave up only about 2 months in . still a hell of a fun game though . the 3 / 4 back view for the battle system really hits home as i am a huge fan of it in the shining force and golden sun games . bless this thread .\nit ' s easily their most well - regarded game , too , and it got a playstation conversion possibly because of its sales footprint . meanwhile i just got munt working and am grooving to marching way from granada x68k . . . too good .\ni wouldn ' t call it an eroge machine , but rather the ultimate cyber punk gaming system .\ni would ' ve never guessed that this thing came out in 1987 just by looking at it . looks more like gaming pc from the early 2000s\nsound like you have a love for classic japanese cyberpunk ( as all good people should ) . i ' d recommend this tumblr here urltoken as that ' s pretty much what it ' s about . it ' s not all japanese or classic , but about 98 % of it is , and it is wonderful . sometimes ( thought rarely ) , it can also be a bit nsfw , as was not uncommon in such art . seriously , whenever i look at this tumblr , i just get all warm and giddy inside .\nevery time i go to rekall , i ' m stuck there for hours . . . somehow it ' s really hard to just stop looking at pictures there\none of these days i ' m going to figure out a way to play possessioner .\nwonderful thread ! brings me back . anime was just the coolest shit ever back then . i remember going into babbages and seeing knights of xentar and metal and lace on the shelf . boy did those two games stand out . . my eleven year old self was certainly\nthe day more people learn about this game , and how singularly cool and unusual it was coming from a light novel writer and a few programmers who did a mech wargame previously , will be strange and hilarious . naoyuki kato ' s one of the best fantasy artists in japan and no one seems to discuss his works , let alone suemi ' s or tanno ' s .\nthank you for this post ! i knew of these artists ' work but did not know their names ; now , i can hunt down some art books . noriyoshi ohrai , who recently passed away , was another great ( but i ' m sure you knew that already ) .\ni just cruise yahoo japan auctions , although it used to be better than it is now . someone ' s selling popful mail for 7800 yen right now !\noooh . i had no idea popful mail started as a pc98 title . i remember drooling over the screens from the gamefan coverage of the sega cd version . i never did get to play it . hmmm . . . i might pull my gfs out of the closet and see if i can scan it .\nnot only that , the combat in the original version of popful mail is ys - style in a side scrolling setting . you kinda ram into enemies with your regular weapon to damage them . that combat style is also in the pce cd version . sword slashes came to sfc and sega cd . of course , even the original version had the projectile weapons .\npopful mail was originally a pc - 88 game . the sega cd version is vastly different than all the others and was handled by sega and falcom together .\ni ' m not sure how this works . . . this whole home computer thing is still a little bit confusing to me . in terms of compatibility it ' s more like a console , right ? as in it doesn ' t play pc - 98 games , just platform exclusive ones , correct ?\nfinal crisis . nice music . i don ' t think most people know about techno grard , which was owned by the parent company of certain infamous eroge dev .\ndamn . . . how much did you pay ? i ' m not sure how this works . . . this whole home computer thing is still a little bit confusing to me . in terms of compatibility it ' s more like a console , right ? as in it doesn ' t play pc - 98 games , just platform exclusive ones , correct ?\nnope . it ' s a computer too . many pc - 98 games were ported to it .\nanyway , i still need to get working on that j - pc thread i promised you guys months back .\npasokon i would consume that thread like a man downing an entire beer in one go . just sayin ' .\ni need to move on to some other stuff but look up legend of heroes iii art . that game was legend on the pc - 98 and arguably helped falcom stay around after the disaster that was ys v .\ni remember seeing that possessioner gif posted in another thread here . i ' m still blown away .\nyep , i especially love jun suemi ' s illustrations . i wish this meticulous , more realistic style was still a popular thing in japan nowadays .\njun suemi is amazing . i really like the monster designs he did for the super famicom ports / remakes of wizardry i to iii .\non this topic , eroge dev giga as an april fools joke , made an announcement of one of those surprise boxes , with 200 possible giga games . including their pc - 9801 games . sadly not real .\nas i was trying to get pc 98 material to post here i found something i never thought i ' d ever see .\ntook some searching lol , but i finally found it . it ' s called ballade for maria ( & # 12510 ; & # 12522 ; & # 12450 ; & # 12395 ; & # 25447 ; & # 12370 ; & # 12427 ; & # 12496 ; & # 12521 ; & # 12540 ; & # 12489\nwow . this is right up my alley . i was tempted to buy a pc98 back before risingstuff closed up .\nthat game is dark . i ' ve seen on a certain blog , a chopped up naked body .\nit ' s part of fairytale ' s hardcover label , which is for their dark games . also it has an fm towns port .\nthere ' s also the upcoming va - 11 hall - a which i ' m really , really looking forward to . urltoken the game ' s in qa right now and according to the devs is 99 . 9 % complete , but man , this was supposed to be out winter 2014 . still , looking forward to it . takes place in the same universe as read only memories iirc . this is probably the most accurate to pc - 98 era\nstyle\ni ' ve seen , really . it ' s also got a soundtrack i loop in my car regularly . urltoken\nglad someone brought it up . va - 11 ' s aesthetic is gorgeous .\nthe gamesack guys did a great video on the x68000 , definitely recommend a watch .\nthat game is dark . i ' ve seen on a certain blog , a chopped up naked body . it ' s part of fairytale ' s hardcover label , which is for their dark games . also it has an fm towns port .\nyeah there is a good number of really dark titles on the pc98 . i don ' t have any interest in the game besides seeing trump tower in pc 98 graphics lol .\nhaha upskirt in the first pic , i see why you ' re a fan op ; o ) came into this thread kinda expecting these sorts of graphics but i had no idea there was a whole platform of this stuff ! wow i thought i would just be seeing mega cd games like time gal and turbogfx / pc engine games , i think this is the first i ' ve heard of the pc98 . i will really need to look into this a bit more as i ' m also a fan of anime games ( as long as there is some proper gameplay . . . . especially of the shmup variety ) .\nthis\naesthetic\nis currently quite popular online for some reason . tumblrfadgrafix that said , good time period for eroge .\nrusty is a cool castlevania - like game ( and one of the more playable pc98 games for non - japanese speakers . ) the art is not nearly as detailed as a lot posted here , but it has its pretty moments\nthere are a bunch . to get you started , the first 5 touhou games are on pc98 .\ni wonder , did computer game developers in europe and america have any idea of the above games ? or was there a prejudice towards those games due to the anime aesthetic , stemming from tv animation mostly ? amiga scene was certainly more open to those kind of games . eg there was the dreadful akira game and also apidya was a tribute to japanese shmups . it is just that european games took inspiration mostly from western comics and metal covers i know western computer games were also ported to japan , eg lucasarts games"]}

makers .\nthe decisive moment seems to have been samira ' s decision to leave school at 14 , tired of\nclich\u00e9\n.\ni hate any kind of clich\u00e9 ,\nshe says vehemently .\ni hated school because they tried to just give you answers , answers , answers and not let you experience or ask questions or see differently . anyhow , i tried to flee from it .\nby all accounts , the school offers a rigorous and eclectic curriculum , not just film but\nequal parts life and art\n, as mohsen puts it : everything from cycling , swimming and skating (\na film - maker needs to be physically strong\n) to cooking , computer science and languages , quite apart from the range of conventional filmic skills . the method involves focusing on a single subject every month for eight hours a day , on a principle of strict immersion ; as hana put it ,\nif school of makhmalbaf has one principle , that is the principle of concentration .\n83 . buddha collapsed out of shame : the tve award \u00ab la otra mirada \u00bb by spanish tv , san sebastian international film festival 2007 .\n97 - buddha collapsed out of shame : \u00ab cine - club \u00bb ( ficc jury ) the 38th molodist film festival , ukraine , 2008 .\nthe makhmalbaf family ' s production - line app - roach to film education is surely without a contemporary equivalent . fearful of charges of nepotism , members of prominent hollywood dynasties tend to channel their energies into distancing themselves from one another rather than into collaboration . ( imagine the cynical response if sofia coppola accepted as much open help and endorsement from her father as samira does . ) perhaps claude chab - rol ' s repeated inclusion of family members within his creative workforce provides the closest parallel , though no other chabrol has established an independent reputation let alone become a fixture on the red carpets of international film festivals .\nhana , meanwhile , found her gender and youth an advantage when shooting joy of madness .\ni had a better situation than my father . if my father goes to a house , all the people are angry because he ' s a man , and he ' s big . because i was a young girl , they didn ' t take me seriously ; i was just a kid with a camera .\nthough she insists that\ni was making a film thro - ugh my own point of view ; if somebody else made this film , it would be totally different\n, she ' s aware of the advantages she inherited along with the family name :\ni was born into a family with a great love of cinema . all the time , even when we were going to sleep , our father was speaking about cinema , and teaching all the time , teaching everybody .\nwith 14 feature film , 3 short films , 28 books and 22 film editings , i was the most active iranian filmmaker at that time . my mind was full of ideas , and my heart bursting from the thrill of creation . having just finished making \u00ab a moment of innocence \u00bb , my favorite film , i stopped working and spent four years on teaching the arts of cinema . instead of creating films , i was going to create filmmakers .\nmakhmalbaf became a controversial figure when the two films he made in 1991 , a time of love and the nights of the zayandeh - rood , were banned for dealing with physical love and raising doubts about the revolution . the same fundamentalist groups that had championed him earlier as a truly devout islamic filmmaker began to turn increasingly against him .\ntwo of his recent films , a moment of innocence ( bread and the vase ) and gabbeh , also were kept from distribution in iran after their initial screenings in the 1996 fajr film festival , an annual showcase for domestic films . gabbeh , a captivatingly lyrical saga of a woman and her romantic longing in a nomadic setting , was released domestically only after its successful festival run and a string of european openings , but a moment of innocence , a thought - provoking essay about the nature of truth , remained shelved for two additional years . the film recalls a traumatic chapter in makhmalbaf ' s youth that led to his imprisonment for stabbing a policeman .\nthe peddler ( 1987 ) , a film that brought makhmalbaf international attention , was the first turning point in a career full of twists and turns . in this moving three - episode film about a society caught in a web of moral and social decline , as well as in several subsequent films , mahkmalbaf began to seriously question the values he had dearly espoused in his earlier films . the cyclist ( 1989 ) traces the plight of a poor afghan man forced to ride his bicycle continuously for a week to raise money for his ailing wife ' s treatment . marriage of the blessed ( 1990 ) is about a bitterly disillusioned war veteran on the verge of mental breakdown .\n47 . the day i became a woman : the prize of the international film critics ( fipresci prize ) from films from the south festival . norway . 2000\nohsen makhmalbaf was born in a poor neighborhood in southern tehran in 1957 . while still an adolescent , he dropped out of school to form an islamic militant group and join the clandestine fight against the shah ' s regime . he was arrested when he was only 17 , and was serving a five - year sentence when the 1979 revolution brought an islamic regime to power .\n( corinth films ) premieres one of best iranian movies yet seen . its story of a despot ( mikheil gomiashvili ) caught in the midst of a revolution , who escapes his country\u2019s futuristically designed capital city to traverse the underdeveloped countryside with his cosseted grandson ( dachi orvelashvili ) in tow , surprises all anti - fascist expectations . makhmalbaf looks at brotherhood by satirizing the highhanded excesses of nationhood .\n42 . the day i became a woman : prize isvema of 100 , 000 , 000 italian lira of commercial promotion on the private televisions associated with isvema itself , assigned by the jury of the national syndicate of italian film critics , for its : \u00ab poetical representation of woman condition in nowadays iranian society \u00bb from 15th . international week of film critics , venice . italy . 2000\ni understand you are shooting a film in the afghan refugee camps in iran . was this an immediate reaction to the bombing , and how were you able to pull it together so quickly ?\nthe soft - spoken meshkini is the second wife of mohsen makhmalbaf , who wrote the screenplay .\nthe idea of eve came from a talk i had with mohsen one day when we were walking down the street , but the dialogues belong to me . i wanted to make a movie about the problems of young girls because in the islamic religion , people think that a 9 - year - old is ready to marry .\nand while mohsen makhmalbaf has long been something of a popular hero in iran , samira is now by far the most prominent family member abroad . she is a skilled and self - possessed media operator , a glamorous figurehead not only for young iranian cinema , but also - whether or not she intends to be - for young islamic women . already a seasoned veteran of the festival press conference circuit ( maysam ' s film features copious footage of her no - nonsense approach at cannes ) , samira packages herself with assured style : conducting interviews in accomplished english , she repeatedly flicks her hijab with long manicured fingers , giving this regulation covering a touch of disarming chic .\nbeyond its acute relevance to contemporary viewers , aesthetically kandahar transcends the plight of individuals , and , like gabbeh , makhmalbaf\u2019s magical tale of carpet weavers , works poetically : it achieves a wrenching emotional impact mostly by surreal images that evoke the permanent results of violence , such as mutilation , rather than through violence itself . one unforgettable image consists of parachutes dangling artificial limbs high above a group of men on crutches down below , running in a three - legged race to retrieve them .\nlike her father , samira sees her own role as a film - maker as both inspirational and pedagogic .\nbecause i had a better situation , better opportunities , compared to other women , i always feel a responsibility for these women . i think i have to do something .\nand perhaps she has succeeded : certainly it ' s notable that of the significant iranian films released since the apple , jafar panahi ' s _ the circle ( 2000 ) , makhmalbaf ' s kandahar and kiarostami ' s ten ( 2002 ) focus almost exclusively on female experience . indeed , there ' s a case to be made that it is male characters who now seem ' veiled ' and ambiguous in iranian cinema .\nborn and raised in a poor tehran neighborhood , makhmalbaf\u2019s early life was fraught with hardship and traumatic events . he worked from the age of eight to support his family . at 17 he joined an anti - shah movement . following an incident in which he was shot at and wounded by a policeman , he was hospitalized for 100 days after being tortured by members of savak , the shah\u2019s secret police , several of whom received political asylum in the united states and are still at large .\nit ' s tough being a film - maker in iran , says jonathan romney . so it ' s all the more remarkable that the makhmalbafs - including 14 - year - old hana - have turned it into a family business\nkiarostami\u2019s latest film , 10 ( 2002 ) , appears to be a deliberate attempt to rethink the predominantly masculinist concerns of many of his previous films . the film , shot on digital video , consists of ten scenes focusing either on the driver or passenger of a car driving around contemporary teheran , a number of them concentrating on female characters . for a more detailed account see geoff andrew , \u201c drive , he said , \u201d sight and sound ( october 2002 )\nmohsen makhmalbaf like everyone else , my reaction to september 11 was one of horror and disbelief . and to october 7 was deep sadness that from one human tragedy we are moving to a human catastrophe . what did the americans achieve with the death and destruction they brought to afghanistan ? thousands more dead , hundreds of thousands more in danger of starvation , millions more forced into refugee camps . is that the way to combat terrorism ? the root causes of terrorism are poverty and illiteracy , neither of which can be cured by bombing people .\nnasseredin shah , the movie actor ( once upon a time , the cinema - 1992 ) , an affectionate look at the history of iranian cinema , and the actor ( 1993 ) , an uneven comedy about a childless couple , revealed the lighter side of makhmalbaf ' s creative character . but it didn ' t take him long to go back to his penetrating explorations of social realities in the disturbingly self - reflexive salam cinema ( 1994 ) - the cinema verite - style account of an audition that turns into a meditation on the corruption of power .\nafghanistan and iran share a 500 - mile undefined frontier and there are maybe two - and - a - half million afghan refugees living in iran . but only about 50 thousand of those have any kind of identification . that\u2019s where we made the film .\nmeanwhile , samira carries a responsibility that few film - makers have to contend with , partly by virtue of her youth , partly by virtue of being the only young female director from an islamic country to achieve international fame - and who knows how many or how few will follow her .\nshe knows she has become a figurehead , and seems willing to live with it .\ni didn ' t try to be a symbol , i didn ' t think , ' i ' m a woman and i ' m young . ' i just wanted to make films . but it happened that i was a symbol for something . it ' s bad because we don ' t have so many women film - makers , so many young film - makers , so it seems i was one of the first persons breaking the clich\u00e9 . but it ' s good , because when you break the clich\u00e9 , some other people come . we need one person to do something , then after , it ' s easy . at the same time . . .\nshe breaks off and sighs wistfully ,\ni like feeling responsibility about a thing .\narguably more than anyone else in world cinema , samira makhmalbaf embodies a new spirit , which may yet have its day . watching her severe yet joyous films , and seeing her determined command of the media , you can ' t help but feel that tomorrow belongs to her . or if not to her , then to others like her and her sister , yet to emerge .\ni myself had to grow a longer beard and wear afghan clothes for camouflage . still , at one point i was in danger of being kidnapped ; i haven\u2019t discovered whether it was the opium smugglers or some other group . but it forced us to move a little further from the border to finish the film .\nin addition to making some 20 films and writing as many novels , you\u2019ve also helped all the women in your family , and your son , realize themselves creatively . and now you\u2019ve made a film about the fate of afghan women who don\u2019t have one zillionth percent of the freedom . i find it quite moving .\n43 . the day i became a woman : prize cict - unesco of the international council of cinema and television within unesco has awarded its prize for the following motivation : \u00ab for its honesty and for the quality of vision on the woman condition in iran \u00bb from 15th . international week of film critics , venice . italy . 2000\nsamira emerges as altogether ruthless about getting what and who she wants for her film , not always likeably . even so , hana seemed to be under no restrictions from her sister as to what she could or couldn ' t show . at one point , in fact , samira tells hana to stop shooting ; she simply ignores her .\nsamira first visited afghanistan at the age of eight , when she acted in her father ' s film the cyclist . she returned with mohsen in 2001 , when he made kandahar , the first feature to convey a vivid sense of the reality both of taliban rule and of landmines . samira made her new film , she says , out of a sense of a responsibility to the afghan people .\nthey didn ' t have any person to feel responsible about them - they didn ' t have anybody to talk deeply , to go there , see the reality . i feel i love the people - in a way , we have the same language , the same culture .\nour curriculum was not limited to cinema , it also included parts life and art . for example in sports , it consisted of cycling , swimming and skating . a filmmaker needs to be physically strong . from everyday life , we instructed on driving , traveling alone outside the country , urban navigation , cooking , computer science , and foreign language , as a filmmaker needs methods of communication . the following were subjects were also included : from other arts , an introduction to painting , photography , poetry and music , and from cinema , film economics , production programming , screenplay writing , acting , camera operation ( filming ) , editing , sound mix , decoupage , history of cinema , and film analysis .\nsamira\u2019s films present a consistently exacting and rigorous approach to situations , characters , real events , society , and the way each is viewed . this seems to be a quality which , initially , distinguishes between the work of mohsen and samira . as several critics such as robin wood have pointed out , mohsen makhmalbaf\u2019s career is very difficult to summarise due to its periodic shifts in tone , approach , social and even political orientation , from fundamentalism to humanism , self - consciousness to allegory . ( 8 ) samira\u2019s two feature films are more unified in approach , casting an almost anthropological eye over the border regions and practices of iranian society , exploring the domestic spaces of suburban teheran ( the apple ) and the mountain passes of iranian kurdistan , near the border with iraq ( blackboards ) .\narmed with a letter , a tape recorder and a fistful of american dollars , the film\u2019s english - speaking nafas ( pazira ) deplanes from a red cross helicopter and dons a burkha . as a single woman in taliban - controlled territory , male traveling companions are de rigueur though unreliable . she persuades a household traveling to kandahar to take her on as a fourth wife .\nliza b\u00e9ar very few people realize that afghanistan used to be part of iran 250 years ago . you already made one film in afghanistan , the cyclist ( 1988 ) , about an afghan refugee who gets tricked by a con man . what made you want to return to the subject of afghanistan , or rather what prepared you , in your own life , to enter such a highly charged political situation ?\nsamira ' s 1998 debut , the apple , was a quasi - documentary about two young tehran girls who had been effectively imprisoned at home for 12 years by their impoverished parents ; in semi - fictional form , the film showed the sisters ' first exposure to the world and was widely read as a protest against fundamentalist patriarchy . blackboards , the follow - up , followed two itinerant teachers through an arresting , austere mountainous region of iranian kurdistan .\nof course it was based on what i had seen and knew . what i had previously observed were meals being dropped by parachute , not legs . but whenever i\u2019m making a film , i leave a window open to thought and to what the wind will blow in , whether it\u2019s an idea or some interference from reality . sometimes one sentence spoken on the set was so profound and so much better than prewritten dialogue that i would use it instead .\nthe idea was to show what a woman ' s life is like at three different periods \u2014 childhood , young womanhood and old age ,\nmeshkini said .\nin traditional communities , girls are considered adults at the age of 9 ; the child needs to be free , she can ' t bend to the laws . i call the girl in the first part of the film havva , which means eve , because of the temptation of the apple .\nsamira herself is quietly scathing about the awed fascination that has greeted her entrance on to the international stage .\nthey say , ' you are young ' , so i would have to be old . ' you are a woman ' , so i would have to be a man . ' you ' re from iran ' , so i would have to be from somewhere else . and some people told me , ' you ' re very small . ' so i would have to be a fat old man to make a movie !\nyet while the previous generation of iranian directors had to wait for the world to catch up before they were f\u00eated outside their own country , samira ' s canonisation is happening before our very eyes , with her image and status being deconstructed even as they are formed . it ' s a set of attitudes that was hinted at in kiarostami ' s close - up ( 1989 ) , which relates in semi - documentary style the real - life case of a mohsen makhmalbaf fan arrested for impersonating his hero .\nthessaloniki , greece\u2014 some day , the western eye may be sated with the sheer beauty and simplicity of iranian cinema \u2014 messages planted like signposts in the landscape : children racing after balloons , old men bearing blackboards on their backs . but not yet , and not in thessaloniki , the greek harbor where festival audiences applauded marziyeh meshkini ' s first film ,\nroozi khe zan shodam\n( the day i became a woman ) , and the jury awarded her the prize for best director .\nthe day i became a woman\nis a look at three women buffeted by tradition . a gentle look . jafar panahi ' s\nthe circle ,\na film about women who leave prison to find themselves enclosed in yet another kind of prison , is far less gentle . if you say this to meshkini , she smiles and says ,\nmost women in iran understand what they are up against , what they look like on the street is not how they are at home .\n. i made it for unesco as part of a global campaign i wish to mobilize to address the question of educating the young afghan kids . i will premiere it on january 14 in paris at unesco . i shot it in zahedan and zabol , two border towns near afghanistan . when you see this film , you understand that the root cause of terrorism is the economic and cultural condition of a people . you cannot drop bombs on people and kill their loved ones and expect them to behave other than violently toward you .\nin her film , which was shot in the gulf , the second episode , entitled\nahoo\n( deer ) , opens on a herd of running deer . ahoo , a young woman draped in black , is biking along the rocky beach road , racing against a herd of women cyclists .\ni wanted to show a girl \u2014 it could be eve again \u2014 who has lost her freedom . she rides a bike to get free because biking is forbidden for women . don ' t ask me why , i don ' t know why .\nthat sense of fear - at least , of understandable caution - is visible in joy of madness , which records samira ' s attempt to cast actors for at five in the afternoon . not surprisingly in a country where images were so long proscribed , people were none too sure what was involved in the idea of appearing in a film ; hana ' s footage follows her sister ' s negotiations with prospective actors , watching as various interviewees say yes or no , repeatedly change their minds , or cautiously warm to samira ' s sometimes charming , sometimes downright ferocious approach .\nby contrast to these films ' authoritative concision , their follow - up , at five in the afternoon , feels more diffuse and tentative , a set of powerful images and arguments in search of cohesion . even so , it ' s samira ' s most ambitious and most direct statement . she shot it in and around kabul using non - professional actors to ponder afghanistan ' s post - taliban future and to ask whether afghan women will definitively emerge from under the burka to take power . the film begins at a secular school for girls , where the assembled pupils debate whether an afghan woman can ever become a benazir bhutto or an indira gandhi .\nhana ' s documentary , joy of madness , shows samira in afghanistan leading a discussion about female presidency , much like the one in her film . you wonder what afghan women must have made of such a confident foreign woman , given their own years as effective outlaws in their own land .\ni imagined i was going to see very backward women ,\nsamira says ,\nbut they were very powerful , and they were changing a lot .\nnevertheless , she was aware of seeing the residue of a culture of fear and , at first , much anxiety that the old order might return .\nit ' s better now , they don ' t think so much about taliban coming back , but women are afraid of doing something because of the tradition .\nunlike abbas kiarostami , who has seldom featured substantial roles for women in his films , mohsen has intermittently placed his female characters centre stage . ( 9 ) for example , the central figure in gabbeh ( 1996 ) and many of the women auditioned in salaam cinema ( 1995 ) represent forceful , resilient , if sometimes frustrating female characters . his recent film , kandahar ( 2001 ) , features his strongest and most socially critical female figure , a character who also drives the plot forward . one can sense that the experience of working closely with the female members of his family on women - centred films has given mohsen\u2019s films a greater urgency in terms of their willingness to address questions and problems of gender ( 10 ) . in this respect , one can perhaps see the reverse influence of mohsen\u2019s wife and daughter on his filmmaking practice .\nin year 2001 , he released kandahar , which captured the attention of the world after september 11 terrorist attack on world trade center in new york .\nwarning ! to get all of the features imdbpro offers , you must enable javascript .\nyou can share this page with anyone , including non - imdbpro subscribers . a shared page will expire 7 days after it is first opened .\nsubmit additional information and / or report errors on this page . if it is approved by imdb database managers , it will be added to the page in a future update .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html + rdfa 1 . 1 / / en\n\u201caren\u2019t you afraid ?

( 1 )\nin general , when discussing contemporary iranian cinema , it is necessary to foreground the cross - fertilisation process which marks many films ; whether they are films about films or other filmmakers , or works providing a different angle on a familiar region or topic . when discussing the key influences on the work of both samira and meshkini , it is important not to simply isolate iranian antecedents , but recognise specific shared concerns and aesthetic preoccupations in certain non - iranian films ( for example , the work of a georgian director sergei paradjanov can be seen to have influenced both mohsen and meshkini ) . it is also important to recognise the connections between samira and meshkini\u2019s work and the groundbreaking films of iranian female directors such as forough farrokhzad , rakshan bani - etemad and tahmineh milani .\nthere have been a few relatively successful wife and husband filmmaking \u2018teams\u2019 such as maya deren and alexander hammid , agnes varda and jacques demy , yulia solntseva and alexander dovzhenko , larisa shepitko and elem klimov , but they seldom worked together in any substantive fashion .\nsee , for example : sheila johnston , \u201cquietly ruling the roost , \u201d sight and sound , 9 . 1 , ns ( january 1999 ) : 18 ; john mount , \u201cthe apple , \u201d sight and sound , 9 . 1 , ns ( january 1999 ) : 41 ; and robin wood , \u201cthe apple , \u201d cineaction , 48 ( december 1998 ) : 57 - 8\ntesting democracy , a short made for the portmanteau feature stories of the island ( 2000 ) , also formed the acknowledged story blueprint for secret ballot ( babak payami , 2001 ) .\nthese consistent stylistic qualities have led many western critics to compare specific iranian films and filmmakers to their modernist , and even postmodernist , counterparts elsewhere . though such an approach recognises that iranian films are not made in a nationalist cultural vacuum , it nevertheless distorts the meaning and origins of specific aesthetic devices and choices . for a useful discussion of the perils of predominantly \u2018exterior\u2019 readings of iranian cinema see godfrey cheshire , \u201chow to read kiarostami , \u201d cineaste , 25 . 4 ( 2000 ) : 8 - 15\nfor a discussion of this division between the exterior and interior , social and inner self , in iranian cinema and a more general iranian culture see hamid naficy , life and art in new iranian cinema , ed . rose issa and sheila whitaker ( london : bfi , 1999 ) 48 - 53\njonathan romney , \u201cblackboards , \u201d sight and sound , 11 . 1 , ns ( january 2001 ) : 42\nadrian danks is director of higher degree research in the school of media and communication , rmit university . he is also co - curator of the melbourne cin\u00e9math\u00e8que and was an editor of senses of cinema from 2000 to 2014 . he has published hundreds of articles on various aspects of cinema and is the editor of a companion to robert altman ( wiley - blackwell , 2015 ) .\nclick here to make a donation . if you are an australian resident , any donations over $ 2 are tax deductible ."]}

generation iphone .\nthis enables disqus , inc . to process some of your data . disqus privacy policy\napple releases ios 11 . 4 . 1 , watchos 4 . 3 . 2 , and tvos 11 . 4 . 1\nchakra gnu / linux users get the kde plasma 5 . 13 treatment , lots of other updates\napple releases second public beta of ios 12 , macos mojave 10 . 14 , and tvos 12\n. all rights reserved . softpedia\u00ae and the softpedia\u00ae logo are registered trademarks of softnews net srl \u2022\nproduct documentation is used by many stakeholders in many formats from traditional print through online catalogues to fully interactive training and service manuals .\nnever the forte of cad applications themselves , technical publishing tools need to provide better integration than the traditional workflow of manually pasting and updating bitmap images into word or publisher documents .\nfortunately the dedicated authoring tools just keep getting better , providing cad data associativity to maintain up to date content , and enhancing effectiveness and control over graphical richness to suit the publication .\nbased on xml and using a paper space structure , a sequence of images can be generated and managed complete with annotations and interactive controls to communicate key product messages .\nwith product development timelines under increasing pressure the ability to commence documentation in parallel with design iteration allows for better proofing and documentation . one - way associativity means that a broader range of disciplines can have access to the product design data from an early stage , but with no danger of non - technical staff inadvertently altering this data .\nthe composer interface comprises a central graphics area that toggles between the standard page view mode and the animation interface complete with timeline appearing along the bottom .\na pane down the left contains assembly , collaboration and views . below that , a pane displays properties of any selected elements .\ngroupings of functionality are described as workshops and , when selected , relevant settings appear in a further pane down the right hand side .\nsomewhat theatrically , objects in the viewport are called \u2018actors\u2019 . so , parts , assemblies , and components of the 3d model are \u2018geometry actors\u2019 while annotations , measurements , and other mark - ups are \u2018collaborative actors\u2019 .\nmodel and view manipulation will be intuitive to cad users and comprehensive help topics together with standard windows and office shortcuts will aid non - technical users be rapidly productive .\nfor convenient multi - use , once selected , commands remain active until cancelled with esc . component visibility control is crucial to effective work and can be managed in many ways ranging from selection in the assembly tree , including highlighting even if hidden , to handy temporary hiding of selected geometry to show underlying components using the tab key .\nthe digger tool , readily accessible on the spacebar , provides powerful ways to create detail views . a movable , resizable ring can be placed over or adjacent to the model with associated controls to locate the centre of interest .\nthen zoom into the contents , apply a cutting plane and progressively peel away geometry with or without a ghosted image . the result can be captured as an image or by key framing parameters , viewed as fully animated digger effects . this is a great tool !\nribbon toolbars provide access to extensive functionality . the render tab includes render mode selection , depth of field to blur distant objects and lighting setup .\nauthor provides mark - up tools , panels for inclusion of images such as navigation buttons , label and call - out annotations , dimensions and cutting planes . grids can be applied to aid placement of geometry while magnetic lines align and uniformly space annotations , measurements and 2d panels .\nas opposed to manual creation of instructional arrows onto pre - created 2d images , placement intelligently snaps to axes and geometry , rapidly creating precise and intelligent mark - ups that can be readily customised to suit specific applications or conforming to a predefined style .\nthe path command creates lines to indicate geometry displacements in views or animations , and can be associative to update automatically if the geometry moves . transform provides a wide range of tools for aligning , moving , exploding and constraining geometry .\ngeometry actors can be dragged freely or more precisely using the axis triad to restrain translation or rotation to a specific axis . kinematics enable relative part movement and animation constrained by applied links .\nthe geometry tab includes tools to create primitives and manipulate existing geometry by duplicating , mirroring , replacing or scaling . clone detection reduces file size by identifying similar geometry and creating referenced copies rather than duplicated data .\nacknowledging potential intellectual property jeopardy through publishing , the secure 3d brush degrades geometric fidelity to prevent reverse engineering . measurements applied subsequently will not be accurate and the command cannot be undone .\nalthough this prevents transmission of geometric detail it clearly does not protect design intent ip . the final tab provides access to the range of task specific environments or workshops .\nthe styles pane provides visibility of the sheer range of settings and the ability to rapidly apply or update them as required .\nwith so many options and settings available it is helpful to be able to save combinations of frequently used settings for reuse in multiple documents or to share the profiles with other users . this will ensure that stylistic updates are applied to all actors in order to achieve visual consistency .\nthe textures workshop provides a gallery of bitmap textures and tools for positioning and rotating to suit . creation of bill of materials ( bom ) tables and associated callouts is very quick , with full content and appearance customisation options .\nbom ids can include a prefix or suffix and callouts can be displayed per instance , per id , or with leaders to multiple instances from one balloon . once created , hovering over table rows highlights the corresponding geometry actors and callouts to improve accessibility and understanding .\nthe technical illustration workshop generates high quality , re - scalable vector images . these are previewed in the default web browser as long as the adobe svg viewer plugin is installed . by controlling hidden line removal and outline options , dynamic images can be readily generated .\nthe user has the option to output multiple images from views or selected animation frames . similarly videos can be output to avi in user defi ned size and quality .\nthe final family of workshops are geometry tools . the simplification workshop provides several methods for simplifying the model to enhance performance .\ndecimation reduces the number of triangles in the model . although it inevitably degrades model geometry , small amounts of decimation can typically be applied without detracting noticeably from visual quality .\nocclusion removes parts from the model based on small , insignificant size or whether they are internal and therefore not visible . the clone detection tool also reappears here .\na clearance checking workshop provides static clash detection , clearance checking and minimal distance analysis for the entire model , selected parts or visible parts . the interactive collision detection tab gives feedback and can halt or zoom in on clashes during animated sequences .\nmost intriguingly , the path planning workshop computes collision - free paths between defined geometry locations enabling instructional animations to be created to show how those awkward , tight fitting parts need to be manipulated for assembly or removal .\ncomplex animations can be generated using explode tools or manually creating key frames for component locations , camera views , sections or opacity to control visibility . creation of multiple cameras enables rapid switching between views in animations .\nadditionally , comprehensive camera controls , including roll , pitch and yaw , provide full creative freedom . for electronic delivery a standalone player is available including a pro version with full api customisation capabilities in addition to browser plug - in readers .\nproduct communication is all about clarity and there are few limitations on information presentation allowing users to get the often complex messages across effectively .\nregister now for your free subscription * to the printed edition of develop3d and gain access to pdf versions of all our back issues .\nthis is just like taking your design or concept and having it put into a magazine for you . this is an extroadinary program tha will really increase those presentations intended to be sales tools for customers or even for collaboration reviews with your fellow team members . great stuff .\nhi , its a nice one i am working in this software from past 2 years in bangalore , india .\nhow stunning effects , suits and animals were created for this high -

'\nimagine that all of your favorite music \u2014 from wynton marsalis to kanye west \u2014 was released by the same record label . well , if you were african - american back in the 1920s , odds are that was the case . what makes the story even more interesting is that this record label was launched by a company that made chairs . its name was paramount records and its roster eventually included ma rainey , king oliver , louis armstrong , jelly roll morton , ethel waters , blind lemon jefferson \u2014 most of the top african - american blues and jazz performers of the day . despite that firepower , the label folded after just 15 years in business . now , a new reissue project tries to recapture some of the paramount magic .\nformer arab strap member malcolm middleton releases his first solo record in nine years . louder than war\u2019s dave beech reviews .\ndespite a complete unfamiliarity with the work of arab strap , malcolm middleton\u2019s solo material is something that\u2019s been on my periphery for almost a decade now . seemingly built around a deft balance of hope and hopelessness , middleton\u2019s usual solo fare dealt in feelings of the downtrodden and the desperate , all offset by major key meanderings . it\u2019s somewhat of a pleasant surprise then , that summer of \u201913 , his first solo outing in nine years , harbours a sunnier disposition than previous offerings , allowing optimism only previously hinted at , to flourish .\n\u201cwhen you reach rock bottom artistically , and i believe i have done on occasion . then the only way from there is up\u201d . says middleton of the record . a seemingly obvious sentiment that may be , at least for those of us fortunate enough never to have been there . for middleton however , it\u2019s more than that . it\u2019s a statement of intent . an aphorism . not just a new direction , but arguably a new beginning also .\nand it\u2019s evident from the outset . opener steps is a wonky pop number replete with synth squelches and pitch bends , while you & i casts a romantic veil over feelings of anxiety , backboned by a pulsating bass , fleshed out by its glossy synth hooks . such emphasis on upbeat electronics might feel a little out of character , but coupled with middleton\u2019s more optimistic outlook and the record\u2019s sleek pop production , it makes perfect sense .\nthere are occasions where the more traditional indie is brought to the fore , but even then they\u2019re subject to a certain degree of electronic noodling . halfway point and highlight like john lennon said for instance , builds innocuously until a wonky pitch bend becomes a pervasive drone . summer of \u201913 is another such occasion . a rolling drumbeat works as an ever - present anchor as the track becomes progressively more fractured and fucked with . subject to fleeting changes of tempo , pitch , tone , sometimes focused on just a single instrument / track , it\u2019s arguably the record\u2019s most off - kilter moment , but still retains a tangible level of melody and pop polish .\nin leaving behind the depression and neurosis , at least for the most part , middleton has created an album of shimmering pop proportions , not just retaining the nuance of his previous works , but transferring them to a more electronically ambitious medium . if earlier albums for pop for the downbeat and the despondent , then summer of \u201913 is just ashamedly pop . and it couldn\u2019t be better for it .\nmalcolm middleton can be found on his website : urltoken , facebook and he tweets as : @ m _ middleton _ uk .\ndave beech is a music writer based out of manchester . links to his work can be found over at his blog , life\u2019s a beech , as well as his louder than war author\u2019s archive . he tweets as @ dave _ _ beech .\n\u2018hazy and mellifluous\u2019 : lou rhodes . photograph : tabatha fireman / redferns via getty images\nbelongs to an earlier , kinder age when songs in praise of nature were crooned around a campfire and it was de rigueur to wear flowers in your hair . lyrically , then , her fourth album is hippy -

signed music and words lp , his 2014 collaboration with artist david shrigley .\nthat album fell between two offerings from middleton\u2019s ( largely ) instrumental 80s alter - ego , human don\u2019t be angry , which saw him shortlisted for 2013\u2019s scottish album of the year ( say ) award . the skewed - pop influences of music and words and human don\u2019t be angry can be discerned throughout summer of \u201913 , ( as can his 2009 ep , girl band pop song ) , but this is still vintage solo malcolm middleton , albeit with surprises .\n\u201cif you hadn ' t heard everything i\u2019ve been doing since waxing gibbous \u2013 if you hadn\u2019t heard human don\u2019t be angry , or the stuff i did with david shrigley \u2013 then maybe this is a bit of a departure , \u201d middleton ventures . \u201cbut even on waxing gibbous , the song zero had a rap in it , and it was quite poppy . i think there are some people who\u2019re not happy with that though , who still want to hear miserable , downbeat songs , the more kind of folky thing , \u201d he muses . \u201cbut i think that if you like what ' s gone before , you should like this too \u2013 it ' s not too far from the patch , it ' s just a bit fresher . \u201d\nit\u2019s also pleasingly replete with middleton\u2019s droll lyrical idiom , from the phonetic trickery of balearic synth anthem you and i ( which sounds wryly akin to \u201cyou and die\u201d ) , to the tentative 80s euphoria of steps ( \u201ci even regret having regrets\u201d ) .\nsteps opens the album , and barely draws breath before invoking sugababes , gary numan , moby and men without hats , and the rest of the record is similarly shot through with pop thrills \u2013 kraftwerk and jan hammer here ( little hurricane ) ; paul young and schneider tm there ( big black hole ) . if this is testament to middleton\u2019s insatiable drive - pop heart , then it\u2019s also to the credit of electro livewire julian corrie , aka miaoux miaoux , who produced the album .\n\u201cjulian\u2019s got a tasteful pop sensibility , which helped , because he basically took a lot of my rubbish and tactfully said , this is a bit cheesy , \u201d middleton says of corrie\u2019s pop alchemy . \u201cbut sometimes i had to put my foot down and say , it needs to be cheesy . that ' s why i ' m doing it . the production can be a bit ironic \u2013 sometimes , that ' s what i ' m aiming for . \u201d\nat what stage did he recruit corrie for production duties ? \u201ci ' d been working on the record for maybe five years , just in between doing human don\u2019t be angry and the shrigley stuff \u2013 it wasn\u2019t a rush , \u201d says middleton . \u201cbut at the beginning of last year , i realised i had a bunch of songs that were good , and when i compiled them i thought , i\u2019ve got a record here . but i had no idea how to finish it . so i put it out there and asked julian . i was amazed when he said yes . \u201d\ncorrie and middleton make for an inspired tag - team , especially on gorgeous electro - pop reverie brackets , and kosmische lullaby little hurricane . \u201cthat was originally a live band song , and then julian made the first half into that driving thing , with the drum beat and all these synths , \u201d middleton offers . \u201cand brackets used to be a full - band indie romp , but i said to him , look , i think there ' s a good song in there , but it ' s not there yet \u2013 so , what can you do ? and he kept the vocals . that was it . everything else was changed \u2013 the music , the chords . that ' s martin henry [ de rosa ] doing backing vocals on it , i think julian did some too . that ' s the song he had most of his mark on . \u201d\nthe album also features the beta band\u2019s gordon anderson ( alias the lone pigeon ) , but there\u2019s no doubting that this is a middleton solo album \u2013 even if you chance upon one of the rare copies he hasn\u2019t signed ; even though he tries to obscure his identity by pitching his vocals up and down throughout the album . \u201cyeah , i\u2019ve done that before , with into the woods \u2013 it\u2019s like putting on a mask , \u201d he nods .\n\u201csometimes i want to make a song , but i don ' t want to be its focal point . especially on information in the voice \u2013 i wanted it to be bland ; i wanted it to be a bit faceless . i was trying to sing without putting too much tone in the words . \u201d\nsummer of \u201913 is similarly disorientating \u2013 a sublime , nostalgic trip , whose myriad disembodied voices circle each other and variously invoke the ghosts of bagpipes and big country . it\u2019s an epic centre - piece for an album whose title conjures bryan adams , the second summer of love ( acid house , danny wilson ) , and superstition . \u201cyeah , that ' s all in there , \u201d middleton concludes , getting back to his drawing board . \u201call those things must have been in my head somewhere , even unconsciously \u2013 from the summer of \u201969 , to friday the 13th . \u201d lucky for us .\nreaders\u2019 comments : you are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website , so please act responsibly . we do not pre -

year term , and his kanu party retained a majority in the legislature . due to parliamentary reforms in november 1997 , political rights were expanded , which led to an explosion in the number of political parties . again , moi won re - election as president in the december 1997 elections , because of a divided opposition . kanu won 113 out of 222 parliamentary seats , but , because of defections , had to depend on the support of minor parties to forge a working majority .\nin october 2002 , the national rainbow coalition ( narc ) was formed , emerging from a unification of opposition parties together with a faction , which broke away from kanu . mwai kibaki , the narc candidate , was elected as the country ' s third president in december 2002 . president kibaki received 62 percent of the vote , and narc garnered 130 out of 222 parliamentary seats ( 59 percent of seats ) . during kibaki ' s first time in office , democratic space was opened up even more and coalition politics took root .\nkenya held its tenth general election on the 27th of december 2007 . a dispute that followed the announcement of the result by the electoral commission of kenya ( eck ) unfortunately degenerated into an unprecedented seven -

based global supply systems ( gss ) , in which atlas air worldwide holdings is a 49 % stakeholder , was formed in 2002 in order that british airways world cargo could continue to acmi lease freighters from atlas , while staying compliant with uk law . gss dry - leased three 747 - 400fs from atlas , and operated them on an acmi basis for ba through 2011 , at which time it replaced the - 400fs with 747 - 8fs but otherwise continued as before .\nthese goals focus on how we will continue to fight across the full range of military operations , how we can optimize the supply chain , improve supply chain information technology systems , and increase access to quality - of - life services . internally focused goals call for us to operate with sound internal controls , and to strengthen cybersecurity . my final goal is to lead with character and competence , to promote an ethical , effective , and committed workforce , because none of this happens without attaining a culture of moral excellence .\nsunexpress agreed with global eagle to obtain the services including the automation of capturing , storing and transferring flight data for real - time access by pilots and operation managers .\nglobal eagle will install its navaero efb systems on a total of 70 737ng and a330 aircraft in the sunexpress turkey and sunexpress germany fleets , as well as new aircraft entering the fleet in accordance with the terms of the agreement . the global eagle efb solutions will provide instant access to critical flight data , such as flight path and weather conditions , in the cockpit and at the ground operations center . it will give the airline better visibility into the aircraft\u2019s performance and its impact on maintenance , operations and efficiency .\nwe ' re the leading provider of research , education and certification programs that elevate supply chain excellence , innovation and resilience . become a member to expand your knowledge and advance your career .\nqatar airways is already a partner with iag through the oneworld global alliance which it joined in october 2013 . the airline is taking delivery of a further three boeing 777f aircraft during 2014 .\nour navy exchanges provide retail services , lodging , and uniform support . we manage the navy personal property program that ships our navy\u2019s household goods worldwide , and we oversee the navy postal system . we also feed the fleet through our navy food service program afloat and ashore . i am also dual - hatted as the chief of supply corps and am responsible for the community management of over 3 , 000 navy supply corps officers .\non the supply side , many industries are seeing the introduction of new technologies that create entirely new ways of serving existing needs and significantly disrupt existing industry value chains . disruption is also flowing from agile , innovative competitors who , thanks to access to global digital platforms for research , development , marketing , sales , and distribution , can oust well - established incumbents faster than ever by improving the quality , speed , or price at which value is delivered .\nthe pma - approved solution includes the mounting hardware , power and data for the efb tablet computers in the cockpit . real - time data connections with avionics will be provided by a new wireless version of the navaero universal aircraft interface device ( uaidv2 ) . virtual quick access recorder ( vqar ) functionality is embedded and automated within the uaidv2 , creating a compact integrated package . global eagle will also provide engineering support and integration with existing onboard systems .\nthere are three reasons why today\u2019s transformations represent not merely a prolongation of the third industrial revolution but rather the arrival of a fourth and distinct one : velocity , scope , and systems impact . the speed of current breakthroughs has no historical precedent . when compared with previous industrial revolutions , the fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace . moreover , it is disrupting almost every industry in every country . and the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production , management , and governance .\n\u201cwith global eagle\u2019s efb solution we will obtain a major improvement in reliability and efficiency to analyze our qar data and enable us to run paperless cockpits , providing a major boost in efficiency and safety in flight operations , \u201d said serdar cebeci , flight operations manager of sunexpress .\nduring this module you ' ll investigate the numerous attempts of the catholic and protestant missionaries to convert the indigenous peoples of the americas and east asia to the christian faith . this module will enable you to evaluate large issues within the study of conversion from a global and long - term perspective .\nradm yuen : we partner with industry in a variety of ways , including through performance based logistics ( pbl ) contracts , automated data driven decision making tools , and \u201cportfolio reviews . \u201d the pbl contracts used by navsup weapon systems support ( wss ) are central to our long - term , outcome - based product support strategy .\nultimately , the ability of government systems and public authorities to adapt will determine their survival . if they prove capable of embracing a world of disruptive change , subjecting their structures to the levels of transparency and efficiency that will enable them to maintain their competitive edge , they will endure . if they cannot evolve , they will face increasing trouble .\nthis will be particularly true in the realm of regulation . current systems of public policy and decision - making evolved alongside the second industrial revolution , when decision - makers had time to study a specific issue and develop the necessary response or appropriate regulatory framework . the whole process was designed to be linear and mechanistic , following a strict \u201ctop down\u201d approach .\nour products are setting new standards for reliability , energy efficiency and durability . we offer almost all types of bearings , including deep - groove ball bearings , spherical & cylindrical roller bearings and super - precision bearings . in addition , we also develop and produce mounted units , linear guides , ball screws , wheel bearing units and steering systems . > >\nthis module is an opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and understanding of terrorism and political violence in a global context . it analyses the concept of \u2018insecurity\u2019 in a broad sense by exploring both the theoretical approaches to the study of violence , as well as a range of real - world cases to illustrate the increasingly complex use of violence for political objectives .\nthis module introduces you to key political concepts and ideologies which have underpinned the development of political and international relations theory . in addition , traditional approaches are contrasted with critical theoretical approaches to the study of international relations and to experiences of resistance and challenge to established orthodoxies and interests in global relations . it also introduces you to the importance of normative approaches to the study of international relations .\nthis module aims to investigate the politics and geopolitics of eurasia in context of both the historical and contemporary world . it seeks to give an understanding of the political systems , geopolitics and relations between the countries stretching from the balkans to central asia including , turkey and the caucasus . this module proposes an area studies approach to the region and will include historical and cultural aspects as well as economics and geostrategy .\nnavsup is also developing automated data driven decision making tools to improve the availability of data , and respond to official inquiries more rapidly . for example , we are developing a consolidated contracting data warehouse ( cdw ) as a repository for information from multiple acquisition reporting systems . the data analysis identifies areas where existing contracting vehicles can be leveraged , or a vehicle can be developed to reduce stand - alone , and sometimes redundant , contracts .\nan underlying theme in my conversations with global ceos and senior business executives is that the acceleration of innovation and the velocity of disruption are hard to comprehend or anticipate and that these drivers constitute a source of constant surprise , even for the best connected and most well informed . indeed , across all industries , there is clear evidence that the technologies that underpin the fourth industrial revolution are having a major impact on businesses .\n\u201csunexpress is the first fleet deployment of our new integrated uaidv2 and vqar solution , \u201d said simone giordano , vice president of aviation connectivity at global eagle . \u201cthe data connectivity built into our efb system will provide a pathway to implementation of advanced big data analytics capability in the future . in addition , the advanced efb software and functions will allow pilots to view real - time data to understand the health of the aircraft under their command . \u201d\nto achieve high velocity learning at every level of navsup , we continue to develop our workforce , emphasizing a culture of learning and innovation , to field the best teams , to win the logistics fight . we are improving our workforce competence by emphasizing punching the pubs , rigorous self - assessments , and by not only doing the right things , but also doing things right . through various digitization initiatives we are learning to harness our enormous historical supply chain data to predict and anticipate needs , and even solve logistics challenges before they occur .\nwe stand on the brink of a technological revolution that will fundamentally alter the way we live , work , and relate to one another . in its scale , scope , and complexity , the transformation will be unlike anything humankind has experienced before . we do not yet know just how it will unfold , but one thing is clear : the response to it must be integrated and comprehensive , involving all stakeholders of the global polity , from the public and private sectors to academia and civil society .\nradm yuen : navsup is part of the navy\u2019s global logistics network and is focused on providing logistics support to the right place at the right time to ensure all operational forces are combat ready to deliver the full range of required capabilities . navsup does not own the network end - to - end , but provides the agility , flexibility , and resilience to support navy unique requirements across the full range of military operations . navsup continues to develop and adapt to meet requirements from forces operating in remote locations .\ndiscontent can also be fueled by the pervasiveness of digital technologies and the dynamics of information sharing typified by social media . more than 30 percent of the global population now uses social media platforms to connect , learn , and share information . in an ideal world , these interactions would provide an opportunity for cross - cultural understanding and cohesion . however , they can also create and propagate unrealistic expectations as to what constitutes success for an individual or a group , as well as offer opportunities for extreme ideas and ideologies to spread .\nthis process will predict food consumption patterns for different types of operations and initiate automatic subsistence re - orders of the right types and amounts of food . overall , we intend to apply these methodologies to other classes of supply to further strengthen the navy\u2019s readiness to operate in austere environments . i am proud of what the navsup team brings to the logistics fight , and the dedication each team member demonstrates daily . as we support the fleet operating in a changing and dynamic environment , we are adapting to fight differently to support our customers , by being agile , flexible , and proactive .\na key trend is the development of technology - enabled platforms that combine both demand and supply to disrupt existing industry structures , such as those we see within the \u201csharing\u201d or \u201con demand\u201d economy . these technology platforms , rendered easy to use by the smartphone , convene people , assets , and data\u2014thus creating entirely new ways of consuming goods and services in the process . in addition , they lower the barriers for businesses and individuals to create wealth , altering the personal and professional environments of workers . these new platform businesses are rapidly multiplying into many new services , ranging from laundry to shopping , from chores to parking , from massages to travel .\nlike the revolutions that preceded it , the fourth industrial revolution has the potential to raise global income levels and improve the quality of life for populations around the world . to date , those who have gained the most from it have been consumers able to afford and access the digital world ; technology has made possible new products and services that increase the efficiency and pleasure of our personal lives . ordering a cab , booking a flight , buying a product , making a payment , listening to music , watching a film , or playing a game\u2014any of these can now be done remotely .\nas the physical , digital , and biological worlds continue to converge , new technologies and platforms will increasingly enable citizens to engage with governments , voice their opinions , coordinate their efforts , and even circumvent the supervision of public authorities . simultaneously , governments will gain new technological powers to increase their control over populations , based on pervasive surveillance systems and the ability to control digital infrastructure . on the whole , however , governments will increasingly face pressure to change their current approach to public engagement and policymaking , as their central role of conducting policy diminishes owing to new sources of competition and the redistribution and decentralization of power that new technologies make possible .\non the whole , there are four main effects that the fourth industrial revolution has on business\u2014on customer expectations , on product enhancement , on collaborative innovation , and on organizational forms . whether consumers or businesses , customers are increasingly at the epicenter of the economy , which is all about improving how customers are served . physical products and services , moreover , can now be enhanced with digital capabilities that increase their value . new technologies make assets more durable and resilient , while data and analytics are transforming how they are maintained . a world of customer experiences , data - based services , and asset performance through analytics , meanwhile , requires new forms of collaboration , particularly given the speed at which innovation and disruption are taking place . and the emergence of global platforms and other new business models , finally , means that talent , culture , and organizational forms will have to be rethought .\nbut early this year , british airways world cargo ( now merged with iberia cargo under the international airlines group umbrella ) invoked early termination of the three acmi leases effective 30 april , and gss was suddenly looking at a future with no customers . while it will not be stuck with three very expensive freighters \u2013 the 747 - 8fs will go back to atlas \u2013 gss employs close to 100 pilots and over thirty ground staff for which there will be no work at the end of this month unless the company can find another customer .\neuropean editor alex lennane reports that gss spokesperson david curgenven said the company was \u201coptimistic\u201d it would gain a new contract in the near future . \u201cwe are working hard on it , \u201d he said .\nwhether gss has a realistic chance of winning the ups business is unknown . the competition \u2013 including incumbent star air \u2013 is stiff , and ups has given no hint of its decision . for more on the future of gss , you can read alex lennane\u2019s summary on her loadstar site , here .\nfor inquiries related to this message please contact support . for sales inquiries , please visit urltoken\nif you believe this to be in error , please confirm below that you are not a robot by clicking\ni ' m not a robot\nbelow .\nplease make sure your browser supports javascript and cookies and that you are not blocking them from loading . for more information you can review the terms of service and cookie policy .\nof particular interest is the situation of gss , which is 49 % - owned by atlas air , and 51 % owned by trustees of the gss employee benefit trust .\ngss lost the iag acmi contract for three 747 - 8fs at the start of this year , and has recently said it would be propped up financially by its minority shareholder for at least 12 months . that would give gss breathing space while it looked for a new customer .\nin its annual accounts for 2013 , which gss filed in september , it noted : \u201cfollowing the termination of the contract with the principal customer , the company is now considered to be reliant on the support of a shareholder . the company has received an undertaking from atlas air worldwide holdings inc that funding will continue to be made available as required for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements . \u201d\nmoney continues to pass through the company , however . turnover at gss increased in 2013 from \u00a368 . 5m to \u00a377 . 4m \u201cdue primarily to the effect of dry - leasing two boeing 777f aircraft during the year\u201d . and it recorded a profit of \u00a32m in 2013 following a loss of \u00a3102 , 194 in 2012 .\nthe two 777fs in question appear to be in aerologic\u2019s fleet , according to our best guess , although they could be leased to emirates or to tnt .\naccording to the filing , gss rather than titan , as is widely believed , will continue to lease the aircraft . they are , however , owned by atlas , which consolidates gss on its books .\ngss\u2019s books show just \u00a352 , 000 of tangible fixed assets . most of its assets are current assets , ie short - term liquidity , and are represented by receivables ( \u00a37m ) and cash in hand ( \u00a317m ) . gss appears to be used by its parent to collect receivables and to pay creditors . gss , whose board also includes atlas\u2019s ceo , pays a rather small dividend .\ncontinuing to have a flow of money , or aircraft , through the subsidiary may allow gss to continue to hold a european operating certificate , something atlas has said it wants to retain . uk civil aviation authority rules state that a carrier must have an aircraft at its disposal .\nthe caa told the loadstar that \u201cgss currently meets the requirements to hold an aoc\u201d .\nas a non -

d printing , nanotechnology , biotechnology , materials science , energy storage , and quantum computing .\nalready , artificial intelligence is all around us , from self - driving cars and drones to virtual assistants and software that translate or invest . impressive progress has been made in ai in recent years , driven by exponential increases in computing power and by the availability of vast amounts of data , from software used to discover new drugs to algorithms used to predict our cultural interests . digital fabrication technologies , meanwhile , are interacting with the biological world on a daily basis . engineers , designers , and architects are combining computational design , additive manufacturing , materials engineering , and synthetic biology to pioneer a symbiosis between microorganisms , our bodies , the products we consume , and even the buildings we inhabit .\nat the same time , as the economists erik brynjolfsson and andrew mcafee have pointed out , the revolution could yield greater inequality , particularly in its potential to disrupt labor markets . as automation substitutes for labor across the entire economy , the net displacement of workers by machines might exacerbate the gap between returns to capital and returns to labor . on the other hand , it is also possible that the displacement of workers by technology will , in aggregate , result in a net increase in safe and rewarding jobs .\nwe cannot foresee at this point which scenario is likely to emerge , and history suggests that the outcome is likely to be some combination of the two . however , i am convinced of one thing\u2014that in the future , talent , more than capital , will represent the critical factor of production . this will give rise to a job market increasingly segregated into \u201clow - skill / low - pay\u201d and \u201chigh - skill / high - pay\u201d segments , which in turn will lead to an increase in social tensions .\nin addition to being a key economic concern , inequality represents the greatest societal concern associated with the fourth industrial revolution . the largest beneficiaries of innovation tend to be the providers of intellectual and physical capital\u2014the innovators , shareholders , and investors\u2014which explains the rising gap in wealth between those dependent on capital versus labor . technology is therefore one of the main reasons why incomes have stagnated , or even decreased , for a majority of the population in high - income countries : the demand for highly skilled workers has increased while the demand for workers with less education and lower skills has decreased . the result is a job market with a strong demand at the high and low ends , but a hollowing out of the middle .\nthis helps explain why so many workers are disillusioned and fearful that their own real incomes and those of their children will continue to stagnate . it also helps explain why middle classes around the world are increasingly experiencing a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction and unfairness . a winner - takes - all economy that offers only limited access to the middle class is a recipe for democratic malaise and dereliction .\nmajor shifts on the demand side are also occurring , as growing transparency , consumer engagement , and new patterns of consumer behavior ( increasingly built upon access to mobile networks and data ) force companies to adapt the way they design , market , and deliver products and services .\noverall , the inexorable shift from simple digitization ( the third industrial revolution ) to innovation based on combinations of technologies ( the fourth industrial revolution ) is forcing companies to reexamine the way they do business . the bottom line , however , is the same : business leaders and senior executives need to understand their changing environment , challenge the assumptions of their operating teams , and relentlessly and continuously innovate .\nbut such an approach is no longer feasible . given the fourth industrial revolution\u2019s rapid pace of change and broad impacts , legislators and regulators are being challenged to an unprecedented degree and for the most part are proving unable to cope .\nhow , then , can they preserve the interest of the consumers and the public at large while continuing to support innovation and technological development ? by embracing \u201cagile\u201d governance , just as the private sector has increasingly adopted agile responses to software development and business operations more generally . this means regulators must continuously adapt to a new , fast - changing environment , reinventing themselves so they can truly understand what it is they are regulating . to do so , governments and regulatory agencies will need to collaborate closely with business and civil society .\nthe fourth industrial revolution will also profoundly impact the nature of national and international security , affecting both the probability and the nature of conflict . the history of warfare and international security is the history of technological innovation , and today is no exception . modern conflicts involving states are increasingly \u201chybrid\u201d in nature , combining traditional battlefield techniques with elements previously associated with nonstate actors . the distinction between war and peace , combatant and noncombatant , and even violence and nonviolence ( think cyberwarfare ) is becoming uncomfortably blurry .\nas this process takes place and new technologies such as autonomous or biological weapons become easier to use , individuals and small groups will increasingly join states in being capable of causing mass harm . this new vulnerability will lead to new fears . but at the same time , advances in technology will create the potential to reduce the scale or impact of violence , through the development of new modes of protection , for example , or greater precision in targeting .\nthe fourth industrial revolution , finally , will change not only what we do but also who we are . it will affect our identity and all the issues associated with it : our sense of privacy , our notions of ownership , our consumption patterns , the time we devote to work and leisure , and how we develop our careers , cultivate our skills , meet people , and nurture relationships . it is already changing our health and leading to a \u201cquantified\u201d self , and sooner than we think it may lead to human augmentation . the list is endless because it is bound only by our imagination .\ni am a great enthusiast and early adopter of technology , but sometimes i wonder whether the inexorable integration of technology in our lives could diminish some of our quintessential human capacities , such as compassion and cooperation . our relationship with our smartphones is a case in point . constant connection may deprive us of one of life\u2019s most important assets : the time to pause , reflect , and engage in meaningful conversation .\none of the greatest individual challenges posed by new information technologies is privacy . we instinctively understand why it is so essential , yet the tracking and sharing of information about us is a crucial part of the new connectivity . debates about fundamental issues such as the impact on our inner lives of the loss of control over our data will only intensify in the years ahead . similarly , the revolutions occurring in biotechnology and ai , which are redefining what it means to be human by pushing back the current thresholds of life span , health , cognition , and capabilities , will compel us to redefine our moral and ethical boundaries .\nneither technology nor the disruption that comes with it is an exogenous force over which humans have no control . all of us are responsible for guiding its evolution , in the decisions we make on a daily basis as citizens , consumers , and investors . we should thus grasp the opportunity and power we have to shape the fourth industrial revolution and direct it toward a future that reflects our common objectives and values .\nto do this , however , we must develop a comprehensive and globally shared view of how technology is affecting our lives and reshaping our economic , social , cultural , and human environments . there has never been a time of greater promise , or one of greater potential peril . today\u2019s decision - makers , however , are too often trapped in traditional , linear thinking , or too absorbed by the multiple crises demanding their attention , to think strategically about the forces of disruption and innovation shaping our future .\nin the end , it all comes down to people and values . we need to shape a future that works for all of us by putting people first and empowering them . in its most pessimistic , dehumanized form , the fourth industrial revolution may indeed have the potential to \u201crobotize\u201d humanity and thus to deprive us of our heart and soul . but as a complement to the best parts of human nature\u2014creativity , empathy , stewardship\u2014it can also lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a shared sense of destiny . it is incumbent on us all to make sure the latter prevails .\nimage : an aeronavics drone sits in a paddock near the town of raglan , new zealand , july 6 , 2015 . reuters / naomi tajitsu\nthe views expressed in this article are those of the author alone and not the world economic forum .\nfor ieee to continue sending you helpful information on our products and services , please consent to our updated privacy policy .\na not -

edition letterpress projects to smyth - sewn trade paperbacks with handprinted jackets , every project carries some trace of the human mind , eye and hand . the result is a unique publishing list of award - winning books \u2013 affordable , beautiful , and designed to endure .\ngaspereau press has been creating books since gary dunfield and andrew steeves founded it in 1997 . their printing method differs from most other publishers . using hands - on techniques such as letterpress , heidelberg presses from the 1970s and \u201980s , and smyth - sewn paperbacks to name a few . gaspereau runs a small , intimate shop , which results in beautiful , quality books .\n. by the start of 2004 , gaspereau press had nine full - time employees and was publishing a dozen titles annually . that summer the company moved its shop and offices a few paces up the street 47 church avenue , where it is located today . in 2009 , faced with financial pressures , gaspereau press decreased it overheads , reduced its full - time staff and returned the size of its list to between eight and ten books annually , realizing that discovering the proper scale of operation would be critical to its ongoing success .\nthe ultra - limited availability of the sentimentalists , published more than a year ago in a luxe edition of a few hundred copies by nova scotia ' s gaspereau press , became the talk of the town as soon as the novel made the 2010 giller prize short list .\nit\u2019s fall , and that means that it\u2019s time to start preparing for the 2014 gaspereau press wayzgoose and open house . the all day event will take place on saturday 25 october . posters will soon be circulating , but here\u2019s the line - up as it presently stands .\nit was a very congenial meeting ,\nskibsrud said , emphasizing her respect for gaspereau\nand the decisions they make .\nno one values the care and attention that gaspereau lavishes on its books more than its authors , and the press\u2019s success is rooted in its ability to attract award - winning writers , such as tim bowling , robert bringhurst , george elliott clarke , don mckay , carmine starnino , john terpstra , thomas wharton & jan zwicky . spanning from fiction and poetry to belles lettres , memoir and natural history , the list reflects canada\u2019s rich diversity of ideas and styles . lofty ideals in no way detract from gaspereau\u2019s practicality , any more than the beauty of its books take away from their functionality . a publisher must live by its wits as well as its whims . gaspereau press has thrice been voted the \u2018cba \u0098best small press publisher\u2019 in canada by the canadian booksellers\u2019 association , most recently in 2010 , an indication of its skill in bringing well -

founders ( with gary dunfield ) of gaspereau press . he has won over 50 citations for excellence in canadian book design from the alcuin society . his essay collection smoke proofs : essays on literary publishing , printing and typography appeared in 2014 .\nat the same time , she expressed hope her new agent might succeed where other toronto publishers who proposed to take on the book , including house of anansi press and random house - had failed .\nfounded in 1997 by gary dunfield & andrew steeves , gaspereau press is one of canada\u2019s most innovative and tenacious literary publishers . the award - winning press is known for the originality of its authors , the beauty of it\u2019s books and the quality of its productions . it\u2019s books\u2014smyth - sewn trade paperbacks , cloth - bound hardcovers and letterpress - printed limited edition\u2014are produced in gaspereau\u2019s own printing works , located in the sleepy shiretown of kentville , nova scotia . the press employs an unusual mixture of techniques & technologies in its book production , ranging from traditional letterpress printing using metal type and photopolymer plates to modern offset lithographic printing using customized digital type . trade paperbacks are smyth - sewn for strength and flexibility and often sport handprinted jackets on handmade paper ; hardcovers are case - bound by hand . from editing , typesetting and production to sales and promotion , this hands - on approach carries through every aspect of a book\u2019s creation , resulting in a process which is as culturally enriching as the books it fosters .\nskibsrud bit her lip when gaspereau co - publishers andrew steeves and gary dunfield spurned offers from toronto - based publishers to reprint and distribute the sentimentalists widely after the giller jury made it a finalist .\nafter inking the international deal , bohan turned her attention to canada , flying to toronto to attend the giller ceremony and , after her client won , representing her interests with gaspereau the morning after .\nthe late george reid , printer emeritus at gaspereau press until his death in 2012 , operated all kinds of presses through his career with the local newspaper publisher , but his first press and first week running it were memorable . back then , the newspaper office and printing plant were located in the building next door to the present day gaspereau press , occupying the building that now houses the king arms pub and much of the parking lot behind it . when george reported for work , he was given a stack of blank paper , sent to an old clamshell - style letterpress in the basement and told to practice feeding paper . they made him do this for a week . the next monday , they finally gave him his first actual printing job . ' my god , you want to believe i didn ' t screw up that first real job , ' he used to say . ' there was no way i was going back to feeding blank paper again . ' i was thinking about george today as my son joseph was in the shop today taking his first crack at printing on one of our c & p clamshell presses . i didn ' t make him feed blank paper , though i should have , in george ' s memory . joseph set up and printed a line of metal type . we ran the press really slow and i read him the riot act on safety ( keep a straight back , no reaching into the press after a crooked sheet ; paper is cheap but fingers are priceless ) . he did great .\ngaspereau\u2019s publishing program stresses the importance of quality across the entire process , from editorial and design to the manufacturing stage . at the core of its philosophy is a commitment to making books that reinstate the importance of the book as a physical object , reuniting publishing and the book arts . many of gaspereau\u2019s book jackets are letterpress - printed , feature original artwork by artists like wesley bates , and are printed on fine paper\u2014in some cases even handmade . most of its books are smyth - sewn , bound into paper covers and enfolded in letterpress - printed jackets . its house paper is the canadian - made rolland\u2019s zephyr antique laid , a creamy , sensual book paper . overall , the result is strong , flexible , attractive books that are comfortable , attractive and durable . in addition to the trade titles , gaspereau press occasionally releases letterpress books , broadsides , and chapbooks .\njostling with stephen for floor space will be local letterpress poster printer laura macdonald of deep hollow print . laura was formerly an intern both here at gaspereau press and hatch show print in nashville , and has recently set up show near port williams , ns , where she has been cranking out everything from coffee bags to gig posters for the local market . last i checked , she was planning to print a multi - colour linoleum cut during the day .\nwith luck , she added ,\nwe can still find a way to supply the books to everyone who wants a copy in a way that would sit well with gaspereau as well as everyone else - including me .\nthis year\u2019s guests of honour are jan & crispin elsted of barbarian press in mission , bc . internationally , the elsted\u2019s are arguably canada\u2019s best - known and revered fine press book publishers , and are particularly well known for their ongoing series of books on wood engraving called endgrain editions . the press\u2019s other publications range from new english translations of poetry and prose from various languages and new poetry in english to bibliography , illustrated classics , and typography . if you come to the wayzgoose for no other reason than to meet these two and see their gorgeous books in person , we\u2019ll forgive you . as well as printing in the shop through the day , the elsteds will give the douglas lochhead memorial book - arts lecture in the evening .\narthur said he was struck buy the book ' s\nexquisite writing\nand its similarity to paul harding ' s 2010 pulitzer prize - winning debut novel tinkers , which his company is also publishing in britain . like many observers , he is semi - respectful of gaspereau ' s anti - commercial stance .\ni think the jury inadvertently screwed the giller by giving the prize to this purist little press ,\none disappointed publisher said , speaking anonymously . for the first time ever , he added , few of the nominated titles are being promoted or are even available at the indigo - chapters chain .\nthat ' s unbelievable .\nfor first in the poetry collection , but it only goes to show that you can\u2019t predict a jury\u2019s taste . the jacket is quite simple on this one , with an unusual salmon - coloured paper from the saint armand mill in montreal . the type ( goudy\u2019s deepdene ) is printed letterpress from photopolymer plates , but the image on each jacket is handprinted from an original wood engraving by wesley bates . i always worry about printing longer blocks of text in anything other than black ink , but the judges didn\u2019t seem to mind . that oak leaf ornament is part of a suite of decorations designed by local calligrapher and illustrator jack mcmaster for the exclusive use of gaspereau press .\nthe subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures .\nnow she openly admits to being\nconcerned\nabout the partners ' decision to continue hand - printing her prize - winning first novel at the leisurely rate of 1 , 000 books a week .\nevery writer at any stage of your career - prizes or no prizes , no matter what - you want as many readers as you can get ,\nshe said .\nthis is a tremendous opportunity for that .\nthe impasse certainly undercuts claims about the vaunted giller effect , which is said to increase sales of winning titles exponentially , and which booksellers large and small across the country rely on to bring christmas cheer .\nthere is not a single copy of the sentimentalists available in any of the indigo books & music stores , company president joel silver confirmed .\nthe giller lights a match ,\nhe said ,\nbut you still need to feed the fire . \u2026 if people aren ' t reading about it and talking about it , then i think it ' ll fizzle out faster .\nand the giller effect is no longer a mere domestic affair . one reason skibsrud can afford to be patient with her artisanal publishers is that british giller juror ali smith helped the young poet acquire an agent and to arrange foreign publication of the sentimentalists even before it emerged as a leading competitor for the 2010 giller prize .\nthe call from smith ' s agent , london - based tracy bohan of the wylie agency , came before the book was long - listed in september , according to skibsrud . acting on what the author called\na gentlewoman ' s agreement ,\nbohan submitted the book to several london editors and quickly found a buyer in jason arthur , director of william heinemann , an imprint of random house uk .\neven before skibsrud received her $ 50 , 000 cheque from giller founder jack rabinovitch , she cashed a healthy advance from heinemann for the right to publish her book in britain and the former commonwealth , excluding canada .\nby the time we actually saw the book it was on the long list ,\narthur said in an interview yesterday , adding he was\nvery keen that we did the deal here quickly .\nthat ' s something my publisher and my agent are discussing ,\nshe said .\ni believe that what has been said will be true - that as the demand arises , those books will be supplied .\nandrew and i will talk about it and make a decision ,\nhe said .\nthat ' s what we ' ll do .\nmeanwhile , on the other side of the ocean , heinemann ' s arthur is rushing to get the book into stores by early next spring .\ni wasn ' t worried about losing sales ,\nhe said , describing his quick decision to buy the sentimentalists even before it had won the canadian award .\nbut i was very keen that we got it out in time to enter it for other prizes it would be eligible for in the u . k .\non the other hand ,\nhe added ,\ni really hope they can find a way to produce enough books for the many readers she ' s now going to be attracting .\none irony is that the prize - winning book , much lauded among those who have seen it for its craftsmanship , is currently only available electronically by users of indigo ' s kobo e - reader . but skibsrud is good with that .\ni ' m just excited about literature , no matter what way it can be accessed ,\nshe said .\ni ' m just hoping there will be a copy of some kind for every single person who wants one .\nwelcome to the globe and mail\u2019s comment community . this is a space where subscribers can engage with each other and globe staff . non -

small to medium - size companies don\u2019t need a munificent parent .\nthe imf was called in to provide financial support for three of the countries most seriously affected by the crisis : indonesia , korea , and thailand . the strategy to address the crisis had three main components :\njohn kotter is the chief innovation officer at kotter international , a firm that helps leaders accelerate strategy implementation in their organizations . he is also the konosuke matsushita professor of leadership , emeritus , at harvard business school .\nthe answer is usually no , kaplan and norton contend . it\u2019s far less disruptive to choose an organizational design that works without major conflicts and then design a customized strategic system to align that structure to the strategy .\nthese premises mean that corporate strategy cannot succeed unless it truly adds value\u2014to business units by providing tangible benefits that offset the inherent costs of lost independence and to shareholders by diversifying in a way they could not replicate .\nthis concept of corporate strategy is the most compelling , provided a company\u2019s strategy passes all three tests . a company should inventory activities in existing business units that represent the strongest foundation for sharing , such as strong distribution channels or world - class technical facilities . these will in turn lead to potential new business areas . a company can use acquisitions as a beachhead or employ start - ups to exploit internal capabilities and minimize integrating problems .\nexpresses its appreciation for the report\nuniting against terrorism : recommendations for a global counter - terrorism strategy\n( doc . a / 60 / 825 ) , submitted by the secretary - general to the general assembly ;\neach concept of corporate strategy allows the diversified company to create shareholder value in a different way . companies can succeed with any of the concepts if they clearly define the corporation\u2019s role and objectives , have the skills necessary for meeting the concept\u2019s prerequisites , organize themselves to manage diversity in a way that fits the strategy , and find themselves in an appropriate capital market environment . the caveat is that portfolio management is only sensible in limited circumstances .\none rentvestor who has found the strategy lucrative is michael zhu , 30 , an online marketing professional who owns close to $ 3 . 5 million of nsw real estate but has chosen not to buy his own home .\nfar from being outdated , the global strategy has stood to the test of time in a very dense year . the global strategy\u2019s push for a european union of security and defence , in complementarity with nato and all our partners , anticipated the debate on military burden - sharing across the atlantic . in a moment when the crucial role of the united nations\u2019 system , the importance of development cooperation , or the reality of climate change are put into question , the global strategy has been a reminder of the european union\u2019s strategic interest in a cooperative world order . it has helped us swim against the tide , keeping our unity and building strong global alliances around our key priorities .\nfirst of all , the global strategy has served as a springboard to relaunch the process of european integration after the british referendum . one year ago , after that referendum , many predicted an \u201cinevitable\u201d decline of the european union , and imagined that the global strategy would stay in a drawer or would very soon look outdated . others told us that the change the global strategy advocated for would have taken years to turn into reality , or might simply never happen . this has not been the case . on the contrary , we have moved fast \u2013 and united \u2013 on concrete implementation , starting with security and defence . in this field , more has been achieved in the last ten months than in the last ten years . the new command centre for eu military training and advisory missions is now reality . a coordinated annual review of national defence budgets is taking shape . preparations for a permanent structured cooperation on defence among interested member states are moving forward .\nwhether any leader in transition can adapt his or her personal leadership strategy successfully depends greatly upon the ability to embrace the following pillars of self - management : enhancing self - awareness , exercising personal discipline , and building complementary teams .\nthe first step in evaluating an acquisition candidate is determining whether the asking price is reasonable . the metrics investors use to place a value on an acquisition target vary per industry ; one of the primary reasons acquisitions fail is that the asking price for the target company exceeds these metrics .\nin developing countries , where large companies are few , capital markets are undeveloped , and professional management is scarce , portfolio management still works . but it is no longer a valid model for corporate strategy in advanced economies . nevertheless , the technique is in the limelight today in the united kingdom , where it is supported so far by a newly energized stock market eager for excitement . but this enthusiasm will wane\u2014as well it should . portfolio management is no way to conduct corporate strategy .\nthe better - off test does not imply that diversifying corporate risk creates shareholder value in and of itself . doing something for shareholders that they can do themselves is not a basis for corporate strategy . ( only in the case of a privately held company , in which the company\u2019s and the shareholder\u2019s risk are the same , is diversification to reduce risk valuable for its own sake . ) diversification of risk should only be a by - product of corporate strategy , not a prime motivator .\nby contrast , the diversified company ingersoll - rand uses a corporate strategy map and balanced scorecard to foster what ceo herb henkel calls \u201cdual citizenship , \u201d in which all employees not only are members of their individual business unit but also have a responsibility to contribute to corporate priorities . that\u2019s because every unit\u2019s strategy map and balanced scorecard are linked to the corporate scorecard . in this way , managers in each unit have clear measures and targets that tie their own activities to the enterprise value proposition .\nthe value chain defines the two types of interrelationships that may create synergy . the first is a company\u2019s ability to transfer skills or expertise among similar value chains . the second is the ability to share activities . two business units , for example , can share the same sales force or logistics network .\nbroad dissatisfaction with the two - mrc construct led to a fresh review of u . s . defense strategy and posture 4 years later . the 1997 quadrennial defense review ( qdr ) adopted a longer - term outlook , assessing security and defense needs through 2015 . the result was a strategy designed to shape the international security environment in ways favorable to u . s . interests , respond to the full spectrum of crises when directed , and prepare now to meet the challenges of an uncertain future . 8\nto work , the restructuring strategy requires a corporate management team with the insight to spot undervalued companies or positions in industries ripe for transformation . the same insight is necessary to actually turn the units around even though they are in new and unfamiliar businesses .\nep\u2019s senior management team , with the assistance of consultant francis gouillart , built a divisional balanced scorecard strategy map that contained five strategic themes describing how the units could align their actions to deliver the financial objectives of revenue growth and cost reduction . specifically ep would :\nthe general assembly reviews the strategy every two years , making it a living document attuned to member states\u2019 counter - terrorism priorities . the fourth review of the strategy took place in june 2014 ( a / res / 68 / 276 ) and was preceded by a report from the united nations secretary - general ( a / 68 / 841 ) that included an overview of the evolving terrorism landscape , recommendations to address challenges and threats , and a compilation of measures taken by member states and united nations entities to fight against terrorism .\na corporation must bring some significant competitive advantage to the new unit , or the new unit must offer potential for significant advantage to the corporation . sometimes , the benefits to the new unit accrue only once , near the time of entry , when the parent instigates a major overhaul of its strategy or installs a first - rate management team . other diversification yields ongoing competitive advantage if the new unit can market its product through the well - developed distribution system of its sister units , for instance . this is one of the important underpinnings of the merger of baxter travenol and american hospital supply .\na company\u2019s choice of corporate strategy is partly a legacy of its past . if its business units are in unattractive industries , the company must start from scratch . if the company has few truly proprietary skills or activities it can share in related diversification , then its initial diversification must rely on other concepts . yet corporate strategy should not be a once - and - for - all choice but a vision that can evolve . a company should choose its long - term preferred concept and then proceed pragmatically toward it from its initial starting point .\nthe acquiring company ' s stock usually goes down for several reasons . first , as we mentioned above , the acquiring company must pay more than the target company currently is worth . beyond that , there are often several uncertainties involved with acquisitions . here are some of the problems the takeover company could face during an acquisition :\nwith their prominence in the nation\u2019s capital , the stations could become the basis for an even more ambitious strategy . smith said last year that he intended to use newschannel 8 and wjla as a platform for a national news network that would involve the company\u2019s necklace of stations .\nlikewise , as stefan worked to establish a - item priorities , he had to weigh the demands of the situation . the turnaround required radical surgery . the strategy and organizational structure of the business were preventing it from achieving its goals and had to be changed quickly . so stefan closed plants , shifted production , and cut the workforce dramatically ( a strategy shift ) . he also rapidly centralized important manufacturing functions in order to reduce fragmentation and cut costs ( a structural shift ) . the realignment , by contrast , didn\u2019t call for an immediate transformation of strategy or structure . there weren\u2019t any major capacity or productivity problems , so plant closures weren\u2019t necessary . the manufacturing functions were already centralized and strong . the real problems lay in systems , skills , and culture . it therefore made sense for stefan to focus on those areas .\nunlike its passive role as a portfolio manager , when it serves as banker and reviewer , a company that bases its strategy on restructuring becomes an active restructurer of business units . the new businesses are not necessarily related to existing units . all that is necessary is unrealized potential .\nmarriott\u2019s diversification strategy balances acquisitions and start - ups . start - ups or small acquisitions are used for initial entry , depending on how close the opportunities for sharing are . to expand its geographic base , marriott acquires companies and then disposes of the parts that do not fit .\ndividend cut companies that reduce , or eliminate , their dividend payments to shareholders are not necessarily on the verge of bankruptcy . however , when companies go through tough times , dividends are usually one of the first items to go . therefore , view cuts or the elimination of a dividend as a possible sign that some difficult times may be ahead .\nlook to your ira . for the purposes of the ira distributions , a first - time home buyer is anyone who hasn ' t owned a present interest in a primary residence mobile homes and house trailers , houseboats and stock held by a tenant - stockholder in a cooperative housing corporation ) for the previous two years . because each person has a $ 10 , 000 lifetime amount that can be withdrawn penalty - free from his or her ira , a couple could withdraw a maximum of $ 20 , 000 ( $ 10 , 000 from each account ) combined to pay for their first home . just be sure to use the money within 120 days or it becomes subject to the 10 % penalty .\nthese studies show that the market values mergers as neutral or slightly negative , hardly cause for serious concern . 1 yet the short - term market reaction is a highly imperfect measure of the long - term success of diversification , and no self - respecting executive would judge a corporate strategy this way .\nillinois , ohio and washington \u2014offer down payment assistance for first - time homebuyers who qualify . typically , eligibility in these programs is based on income and may also have limits on how expensive a property can be purchased . those who qualify may be able to receive financial assistance with down payments and closing costs as well as expenses to rehab or improve a property .\nimplementing a corporate strategy system based on the balanced scorecard is not as simple as just requiring managers in all business and support units to create individual local scorecards and then somehow adding them all together . nor should a corporate scorecard simply be replicated down the organization without considering the different operating realities of each unit .\nmy data also illustrate that none of the concepts of corporate strategy works when industry structure is poor or implementation is bad , no matter how related the industries are . xerox acquired companies in related industries , but the businesses had poor structures and its skills were insufficient to provide enough competitive advantage to offset implementation problems .\nthe late 1990s experienced a series of multi - billion - dollar acquisitions not previously witnessed . from yahoo ! ' s 1999 $ 6 billion purchase of urltoken to @ home ' s almost $ 7 billion purchase of excite , companies were interested in the growth now , profitability later ( if ever ) phenomenon . in the first few weeks of 2000 , such acquisitions reached their zenith .\nthe fifth review of the united nations global counter - terrorism strategy took place on 1 july 2016 . the general assmbly examined the report of the secretary - general ( a / 70 / 826 ) on the implementation of the un global counter - terrorism strategy over the past decade . it also gave further consideration to the secretary - general ' s plan of action to prevent violent extremism ( a / 70 / 674 - a / 70 / 675 ) , which was presented by the secretary - general to the general assembly in january 2016 . the general assembly adopted the resolution ( a / res / 70 / 291 ) by consenus .\nwhile there is disquiet about the success of corporate strategies , none of the available evidence satisfactorily indicates the success or failure of corporate strategy . most studies have approached the question by measuring the stock market valuation of mergers , captured in the movement of the stock prices of acquiring companies immediately before and after mergers are announced .\ntruman\u2019s example points the way for president trump . the sooner mr . trump acts to remove american forces from afghanistan , the sooner he can focus on the issues that shape the \u201camerica first\u201d agenda ; the restoration of economic prosperity and homeland defense \u2014 the security of u . s . land borders and coastal waters to cope with the criminality and terrorism emanating from the caribbean basin and mexico .\nof labor costs out of acquired companies , slashed fixed overheads , and tightened capital expenditures . to reinforce its strategy of keeping costs low , hanson carves out detailed one - year financial budgets with divisional managers and ( through generous use of performance - related bonuses and share option schemes ) gives them incentive to deliver the goods .\nthe fourth concept of corporate strategy is based on sharing activities in the value chains among business units . procter & gamble , for example , employs a common physical distribution system and sales force in both paper towels and disposable diapers . mckesson , a leading distribution company , will handle such diverse lines as pharmaceuticals and liquor through superwarehouses .\nsuccessful diversification starts with an understanding of the core businesses that will serve as the basis for corporate strategy . core businesses are those that are in an attractive industry , have the potential to achieve sustainable competitive advantage , have important interrelationships with other business units , and provide skills or activities that represent a base from which to diversify .\n, hyman railed against the inconsistent enforcement of a ban on travel to cuba by americans . noting that the music stars jay z and beyonc\u00e9 had \u201cpartied up\u201d in havana last year without penalty , hyman insinuated that obama had protected the couple from prosecution . \u201cit occurs to me that beyonc\u00e9 and jay z are close friends of the president and first lady , \u201d said hyman , adding sarcastically , \u201cyou don\u2019t suppose\nmonetary policy focused on both supporting exchange - rate stability and fostering an economic recovery . as the baht began to steady , the thai authorities reduced interest rates . by mid - 1998 , money market interest rates began to approach pre - crisis levels , and first deposit , and then lending rates , started to drop as well . by september 1999 , money market rates reached their lowest levels in over a decade .\nthe last two prongs of the strategy were linked in that in times of crisis , including the potential for a reconstituted soviet threat , they would explicitly allow returning to cold - war - era force levels and capabilities if necessary . this was deemed a vital part of the defense strategy given domestic ( i . e . , congressional ) interest at the time in cutting defense spending in order to reap a \u201cpeace dividend , \u201d a goal that pentagon officials feared might cut too deep into military readiness . 4 as explained in the nms ( 1992 , pp . 7 - 8 and 24 - 25 , italics added ) , the stockpiling of critical materials was an integral part of the plan :\nbut the need to capture the benefits of relationships between businesses has never been more important . technological and competitive developments already link many businesses and are creating new possibilities for competitive advantage . in such sectors as financial services , computing , office equipment , entertainment , and health care , interrelationships among previously distinct businesses are perhaps the central concern of strategy .\nthe restructuring strategy seeks out undeveloped , sick , or threatened organizations or industries on the threshold of significant change . the parent intervenes , frequently changing the unit management team , shifting strategy , or infusing the company with new technology . then it may make follow - up acquisitions to build a critical mass and sell off unneeded or unconnected parts and thereby reduce the effective acquisition cost . the result is a strengthened company or a transformed industry . as a coda , the parent sells off the stronger unit once results are clear because the parent is no longer adding value and top management decides that its attention should be directed elsewhere .

saharan gas pipeline remain volatile with the presence of terrorist groups taking advantage of porous borders and attacking pipelines and gas installations . this adds to the unfeasibility of the algerian project and gives credence to the atlantic gas pipeline project to channel gas through offshore pipelines .\nthe minister said the summit would provide opportunity for critical appraisal of the 20 billion u . s . dollar nigeria - algeria trans - saharan gas pipeline project under the new partnership for african development ( nepad ) .\nhowever , the nigeran government has gone on the record stating that if proper security is put in place there should be no reason why the trans -

afghanistan - pakistan - india pipeline , which will pass through territory in southern helmand province in afghanistan , as well as the balochistan province in pakistan .\nso while the eu and russia compete to get a stake in the 4000 kilometer - long trans - saharan pipeline , some are questioning whether the massive project will pay off or can be protected once it is completed .\ndespite this brewing diplomatic tension , the coastal gas pipeline project is of great importance to both countries , with reports noting the tacit priority placed on the project by the federal government even to the detriment of the $ 12 billion trans sahara gas pipeline , which from its conception would take gas from nigeria to algeria and then spain .\nworld bank cuts 2016 growth forecast for sub -

cap stocks like dolphin capital investors limited ( aim : dci ) with its market cap of usd $ 89 million ; however , an important fact which most ignore is : how financially healthy is the company ? there are always disruptions which destabilize and many a times end an existing industry , and most small - cap companies are the first casualties when such a wave hits .\nat the end of the day , a company must pay bills and salaries , and must be able to invest in lucrative projects through cash . firms have a certain amount of control over revenue recognition , which makes an analysis of its operating cash flow even more important . in the case of dolphin capital investors , operating cash flow turned out to be - 10 . 5 % of its overall debt over the past twelve months . dolphin capital investors currently has to rely on external funding to even run its business . this can be ok for a fast - growing company , but otherwise this is of course a sign of some serious debt - problems .\nin 2017 , cash reserves at dolphin capital investors ltd fell by 2 . 25m . however , cash flow from investing totalled 25 . 75m , indicating this company earned more from the sale of existing assets than it spent on the purchase of new assets . in addition the company used 17 . 99m for operations while cash used for financing totalled 10 . 02m .\ndolphin capital investors limited is an investor and developer of residential resorts . the company has two segments : the hotel & leisure operations , and construction & development segments . the company ' s portfolio is spread across approximately 57 million square meters of coastal developable land in greece , cyprus , croatia , turkey , the dominican republic and panama . the company ' s core projects inc\ndolphin ( urltoken ) is a leading global investor in the residential resort sector in emerging markets and one of the largest real estate investment companies quoted on aim in terms of net assets . dolphin seeks to generate strong capital growth for its shareholders by acquiring large seafront sites of striking natural beauty in the eastern mediterranean , caribbean and latin america and developing sophisticated leisure - integrated residential resorts .\ndebt to equity ratio tells you if the company faces tough times or goes out of business , how much assets the debtors could claim . in the case of dolphin capital investors , the debt - to - equity ratio is 59 . 6 % and this indicates that dolphin capital investors\u2019s debt can cause trouble for the company in a downturn but still it\u2019s at a manageable level . a more empirical and universal test is to measure the interest payments against earnings of a company . in an ideal situation , earnings should cover interest by at least a 5x multiple ; thus , reducing any concerns related to high volatility in net income due to small fluctuations in operating performance . in dci\u2019s case the company is making a loss , therefore interest on debt is not well covered by earnings .\nto test dolphin capital investors\u2019s financial condition further , i would weigh its current assets against the total debt . the level of current assets indicates dci\u2019s ability to survive a downturn , which most companies face several times in their life cycle . dci\u2019s short - term assets ( \u20ac201 million ) cover its total debt ( \u20ac95 million ) , so the company\u2019s debt is not a major concern during adverse circumstances\nprimarily due to the lack of diversification in revenues geographically , often investors opt for a bundle of small - caps . on the other hand , well - versed investors allocate a small part of their portfolio capital to individual small - caps , primarily to improve its risk - return profile . however , that doesn\u2019t reduce the risks these companies face individually . but i believe that it can be reduced to some extent by looking at these back of the hand balance sheet calculations .\ngraham warner is a non - executive director at j o hambro capital management umbrella fund plc , which continues to be a significant shareholder of the company . graham has nearly 40 years\u2019 experience in banking and financial services , most recently as finance director of j o hambro capital management group limited , and extensive experience of statutory reporting and governance of publicly listed entities .\ndolphin capital investors limited ( aim : dci ) is a small - cap company \u2013 a market capitalization of less than $ 2 billion . such companies have the highest growth potential , primarily due to their small - size . but that also makes them less diversified and susceptible to a downturn in the broader economy or the specific industry in the region . while dci sports a low - debt on its balance sheet with the debt - to - equity ratio of 37 . 8 % , more metrics should be looked at before you can decide whether it\u2019s financially strong .\nmark townsend is investment consultant to asset value investors limited , a significant shareholder of the company . mark has nearly 40 years\u2019 experience investing in listed property companies and directly into property markets in europe .\nbrad has a background in financial management , but was taught investment principles by his father , that of which guides his investment philosophy today . he is a strong advocate of dividend investing , particularly for passive investors . he enjoys helping beginner investors adopt an investment mindset based on realistic expectations and foundational principles , and is a big believer that \u201cif you\u2019re beating the bank , you\u2019re a successful investor\u201d . reach brad by sending an email at brad . riley @ urltoken .\nwhile failure to manage cash has been one of the major reasons behind the demise of a lot of small businesses , the mismanagement comes into the limelight during tough situations such as economic recession , war , natural disaster , sudden increase in the price of raw materials , and a supply chain risk , which can put a company in a difficult situation . for a small company , that could be a death blow if it doesn\u2019t have enough reserves to meet its short - term obligations \u2013 payments to suppliers , wages , short - term bank loans , interest on long - term debt . dolphin capital investors is able to meet its short term ( 1 year ) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets .\nwe believe wealth 150 + funds offer the ultimate combination of first -

tv celebrities making guest appearances . it includes participation from no rapping clothing manufacturers at all . it makes no reference whatsoever to the size of its bank account , its recent purchase of expensive training shoes or its current state of indebtedness . it has not recently published a selfie with a loony shoe - bomber and thus has not broken the internet in any way . this alone is enough to justifiably ensure gg & s lifelong exclusion , total rejection and severe punishment . believe us when we tell you that we will not rest until this goal is achieved .\na veritable tribute album to gilbert & sullivan , packed with remarkably faithful but gorgeously individual takes on some of that team\u2019s best known numbers : a rock opera in literal terms , then , and you probably know every song in the set , regardless of whether you\u2019ve heard of them .\n( dave thompson in goldmine )\none of the best listening experiences in years . . . it\u2019s clear to me that this remarkable recording is a painstaking and lovingly painted canvas , packed with exquisite detail and imagination . the whole package is garish yet respectful , exuberant yet precise and restrained where needed , familiar yet rejuvenated , the complete artistic labour of love . in other words , irresistible before you\u2019ve even heard a note . musically , it\u2019s a highly pleasing mix of crisply - recorded singalongs , all overlaid with that gorgeous , beautifully - recorded rickenbacker bass sound .\n( richard whitehead in website comments )\nthe big news this month is that martin gordon\u2019s long -

quebec made frequent forays into the nemaskau eenouch traditional and ancestral territory for the purposes of gathering technical information to support the feasibility and development of the nottaway / broadback / rupert hydro - electric projector , commonly referred to as the nbr project . part of the information gathering forays were for outlining , identification and early neutralization of potential problems . one major identifiable potential problem was the settlement on nemaska lake and the nemaskau eenouch who lived there . if the project were to be a reality the settlement would be under water , therefore the residents would have to be removed or relocated .\nin the summer of 1968 , the nemaskau eenouch received a visit from either a representative of the government of quebec , government of canada or hydro - quebec and were told that they had to move out of their community , and warned that their community would be flooded by a large - scale hydroelectric project , and that only the hudson\u2019s bay company facilities , the church steeple and the graveyard would be above water .\nthe hudson bay company , which had for so many years provided materials , supplies and non - traditional foods was finally closing its services which further \u201cpersuaded\u201d the people to \u201cabandon\u201d their centuries\u2019 old settlement , in 1970 . it was during this same summer nemaskau eenouch under duress moved from their original and ancestral home on the shores of nemaska lake , where their ancestors since time immemorial practiced , maintained and survived through the traditional way of life and harmonious relationship and connection with the lake . they were relocated to the communities of mistissini and waskaganish .\nafter seven ( 7 ) years of \u201cexile\u201d , in september 1977 , the nemaskau eenouch decided to gather at doethawagan ( champion lake ) , near their original settlement . with the help of the grand council of the crees ( eeyou istchee ) the community members , considered , discussed and evaluated their situation . approximately ninety - five ( 95 ) members were present . the nemaskau eenouch at had a choice whether to attempt \u201cassimilating\u201d into their respective communities of relocation or they could start over .\naccording to the james bay and northern quebec agreement they could resettle \u201cwithin the vicinity of nemaska lake\u201d . if they choose to resettle within the area they were given by government officials three ( 3 ) choices for the location of their new community , they choose none . the nemaskau elders had made a recommendation for the site and the nemaskau eenouch chose the site recommended by the elders . the decision to listen to the elders has proven itself , beyond a doubt , fruitful and wise over the past twenty - eight ( 28 ) years . the new village has been threatened on three ( 3 ) separate occasions by out of control , raging forest fires and each time the new community has remained unscathed although the people had to be evacuated .\nin 1976 , 147 band members formally pledged themselves to permanently relocate on lake champion . the band administration was composed of one chief and two councillors and the annual budget provided by indian affairs was $ 12 , 000 . in 1980 housing construction began . the community church was the first building to be completed and an access road linking the community to the hydro quebec gravel road \u201858\u2019 was completed allowing residents to properly commute for the first time .\nthe nemaskau eenouch have turned a forest into a vibrant and wholesome modern community . links to the previous settlement on nemaska lake are strongly maintained . the area was declared a historic site by the nemaska community and has been recognized as such by the cree nation . the reconstruction of family houses as they were in 1960s has been under way for the past couple of years .\nevery summer nemaska holds a traditional gathering every summer at nemaska lake . the journey of the nemaskau eenouch has only just begun\u2026 .\nthis website uses cookies . by using and further navigating this website , you accept this .\nyou can help us keep flightaware free by allowing ads from flightaware . com . we work hard to keep our advertising relevant and unobtrusive to create a great experience . it ' s quick and easy to whitelist ads on flightaware or please consider our premium accounts .\nwant a full history search for crq5642 dating back to 1998 ? buy now . get it within one hour .\nbasic users ( becoming a basic user is free and easy ! ) view 3 months history . join\nwant a full history search for crq203 dating back to 1998 ? buy now . get it within one hour .\nwant a full history search for crq5431 dating back to 1998 ? buy now . get it within one hour .\nwant a full history search for crq310 dating back to 1998 ? buy now . get it within one hour .\nsl\u0101v fallout : cultural zealots ' victory over robert lepage is theatre ' s . . .\nthe plane , a dash -

[ 3 ]\nfrom then on , other scheduled flights were progressively added , first to thunder bay , followed by kenora and winnipeg . this was also the period when the government of ontario began constructing new airfields that would make the northern communities accessible year - round . therefore , in the late 1970s to the early 1980s , bearskin made the transition of bush planes to wheeled commuter planes . [ 3 ]\nfollowing the collapse of norontair in 1996 , bearskin picked up over two thirds of that carrier ' s routes , thereby adding scheduled service to all the major northern ontario cities . three years later , it expanded operations to destinations in northern manitoba . in 2003 , it sold its routes and assets servicing northern first nations communities to wasaya airways . this marked as a break with its bush flying background to focus on becoming a regional carrier . [ 3 ]\nas of april 1 , 2014 , all service at region of waterloo airport ( ykf ) and ottawa airport ( yow ) was cancelled , affecting seven routes and significantly decreased the flight operations . the company indicated that a softening mining sector and high tech sectors ( such as blackberry ) were to blame for cutting the routes . additional factors included the introduction of new competitors ( such as porter airlines ) .

ne laser ) is dependent on the particle size . the laser diffraction pattern is measured and correlated to the particle size distribution based on fraunhofer or mie theory . the use of mie theory presupposes knowledge of the light refractive index of the particles and the dispersion media and the imaginary part of the refractive index of the particles . particle analytical can determine these refractive index parameters .\nunderstanding the basic principles of laser diffraction is essential for successful method development . laser diffraction is an ensemble particle - sizing technique , which means it provides a result for the whole sample , rather than building up distributions from data for individual particles , in the way that , for example , image analysis or microscopy does . particles illuminated in a collimated laser -

960 utilizes this principle . in fact , the analyzer itself does not measure particle size - - it measures the angle and intensity of light scattered from the particles in your sample . that information is then passed to an algorithm designed to use mie scattering theory which transforms the scattered light data into particle size information .\nconceived and designed the experiments : ljl wwp . performed the experiments : wwp . analyzed the data : wwp yyf lxp . contributed reagents / materials / analysis tools : ljl zbz zjb . wrote the paper : wwp ljl .\nmytos integrates the core particle size technologies of helos laser diffraction and rodos dry dispersion in a single robust body : a process -

960 represents the tenth generation of horiba laser diffraction analyzers ; each different and better than the last . read on to discover what important factors go into making this measurement routine and trustworthy .\nthe laser diffraction instrument applied by particle analytical ( malvern mastersizer 2000 and 3000 ) has a flow - through cell for dispersion of particles in liquid media or a dry dispenser for dispersion of particles in air . wet dispersion presupposes that the particles are insoluble in the liquid . therefore method development is required . we typically offer either a simple non - gmp suitability screening or a full length gmp method development .\nfor particles smaller than 20 microns refracted light becomes increasingly important to calculate an accurate particle size . the scattered light is at relatively low intensity and wide angle for these smaller particles . the use of a refractive index and the mie scattering theory directly affects accuracy in this size range . all horiba laser diffraction analyzers use the mie scattering solution by default and allow the user to input custom refractive index values .\nthe argon ion laser can be operated as a continuous gas laser at about 25 different wavelengths in the visible between 408 . 9 and 686 . 1nm , but is best known for its most efficient transitions in the green at 488 nm and 514 . 5 nm . operating at much higher powers than the helium - neon gas laser , it is not uncommon to achieve 30 to 100 watts of continuous power using several transitions . this output is produced in a hot plasma and takes extremely high power , typically 9 to 12 kw , so these are large and expensive devices .\nfor particles larger than a certain size the vast majority of light is scattered by diffraction . the scattered light is at relatively high intensity and low angle for these larger particles . the\ncertain size\nis determined as a multiple of the wavelength of light used for the measurement and typically approximated at 20 microns . particles larger than this size communicate useful size information through diffraction and not refraction . this means the measurement will not benefit from the use of a refractive index to accurately interpret refracted light .\nfunding : this study was funded by the national basic research program of china ( 973 program no . 2011cb100506 ) \u2014ljl ; national natural science foundation of china ( contract no . 41171179 ) \u2014ljl . the funders had no role in study design , data collection and analysis , decision to publish , or preparation of the manuscript .\na simplified layout of the la -

spherical , but the scattering effects from the corners and edges of these particles are smoothed out due to the tumbling and rotational motion of sample circulation during measurement . this allows for the application of either the mie or fraunhofer theory to systems with one parameter : diameter . this method yields only apparent values , and it\u2019s important to realize the\nsize\nobtained from most particle sizing technologies ( laser diffraction included ) may differ from the real dimension . to date , spherical modeling is the only feasible choice for commercial instruments designed for sizing a wide range of samples , regardless of real particle shape .\nin previous work , the relative performance of various methods used to characterize the particle size distribution of powders composed of fine irregularly shaped particles was assessed . it was found that methods employing fraunhofer diffraction theory were inferior with respect to particle counting methods . furthermore , calculated particle size distributions varied considerably between . . .

[ show full abstract ]\nin the present study , ph was used to identify outliers . when a set of subsample pairs had a cbd exceeding 1 sd plus the mean cbd of all samples , the precision or repeatability of the psd results were considered insufficient for this type of analysis . in these cases , additional subsamples were measured using the same procedure as for the previous subsamples until every sample had a pair of subsamples with a cbd less than the ph , which meant that some samples had to undergo more than two analyses to obtain an eligible cbd . the samples chosen for additional measurements were only those that continued to have a cbd greater than ph . for those samples which had been measured several times , the mean of the two subsample values with the least cbd was used to represent the psd for each sample .\nparticle size distribution is a fundamental property of any sediment or soil , and particle size determination can provide important clues to sediment provenance . for forensic work , the particle size distribution of sometimes very small samples requires precise determination using a rapid and reliable method with a high resolution . a protocol has been developed using a coulter\u2122 ls230 laser granulometer , which can analyse particles in the size range 0 . 04 \u03bcm\u20132000\u03bcm . the technique is essentially non - destructive , permitting the recovery of critical samples , and has been demonstrated to have high precision for a range of soils , sediments and powders of interest in forensic investigations .\nfew comparisons have been performed of the fitting performance of psd functions based on ldm data sets . furthermore , the effect of texture on psd model performance has not been fully investigated . therefore , the objectives of this study were to ( 1 ) use a variety of models with different underlying assumptions to test the fit of varying psd functions to laser - derived psd of soils from across china , and ( 2 ) to determine whether soil texture significantly affects model performance . three statistical indices were used to define the best models : the adjusted root - mean - square error ( rmse ) , the adjusted r 2 , and akaike\u2019s information criterion ( aic ) .\naic analysis of models for soils of different clay , silt , and sand contents revealed that the performance of a psd model can be affected by soil texture . results indicated that fred3 , mlog3 , and four lognormal models ( logn2 onlg3 , orlg3 , and shca3 ) performed consistently well for all kinds of soil texture in this study ( fig 8 ) . the fred4 model had the best fit overall , accounting for most of the smallest aic values for all soils with different textures , except for sand and loamy sand soils . other studies have previously established that fred4 is highly suitable for modeling all soil texture classes [ 26 , 8 , 9 ] . the difference in the present results with fred4 , i . e . , the finding that it did not perform well for all soil classes , was probably related to the fact that the ldm underestimated the clay fraction . ande4 performed well for loam and sandy loam soils . jaky1 , logl2 , the two logistic models ( logi2 and logi3 ) , and the three van genuchten models ( vanh2 , vanz2 , and vanz3 ) showed poorer performance for most texture classes . gomp4 also performed poorly for most soil types ; however , for sand and loamy sand , it achieved the second most suitable fit with the psd data , after shca3 . logi4 seemed to be more appropriate for silty loam , clay , clay loam , loam , and silty clay loam . the performance of vang4 was only relatively better in silty loam , clay , clay loam , sand , and sandy loam soils .\ndispersion describes the behaviour of clay particles separating from one other in a moist soil . dispersion can cause soil aggregates to breakdown and the dispersed clay to clog soil pores . structural decline and\nclays particles are small in size ( less than 0 . 002 mm ) but have a very large surface area . the surface area of all clays is negatively charged . this is because of the complex arrangement of elements ( e . g . aluminium , oxygen , silicon ) that make up the clay structure . positive ions ( cations such as calcium , ca\n) present in the soil are electrostatically attracted to the negative clay surface and neutralise the charge in the clay . as all the negative charges on the clay are neutralised , a layer of positive charge surrounds the clay particle . this layer of positive charge is also known as a ' shell ' .\ncations floating around in the soil solution as salts , also affect the width of the shell . cations ' attached ' to the clay particle diffuse away from the surface of the clay until the concentration of cations is equal to the concentration of cations in the soil solution . thus , the saltier the soil solution , the thinner the layer of positive charge surrounding the clay particle .\nlike charges repel one another , however , this can be overcome by close distance nuclear attraction , called van der waal ' s forces . if the shell is thick , the clay particles are going to have trouble coming close enough together for the van der waals ' forces to act and for the particles to flocculate . they will tend to remain as separate ( colloidal ) entities \u2013 and the clay will be dispersed .\nif the shell is thin , the particles can come close together for attractive van der waal ' s forces to take hold and for the clay particles to flocculate .\nare typically highly dispersive for the reasons outline above . sodic soils have a high concentration of exchangeable na\n, creating a thick layer of positive charge that may prevent clay particles from flocculating .\nthe cations \u2018attached\u2019 to the clay particle are exchangeable with other cations in the soil solution . which cations \u2018attach\u2019 to the clay depends on the concentration and physical size of the cations .\nthe following two videos illustrate dispersion when susceptible soil aggregates are immersed in water .\nthe video shows two aggregates of soil immersed in water . both aggregates slake on immersion . however , as time progresses the right hand aggregate disperses completely and all that remains at the 30 minute mark are a few sand grains and a cloud of clay .\nthe video shows an aggregate of soil resisting slaking ( although there is some release of air bubbles ) and undergoing visual clay dispersion within 30 seconds of immersion .\ndispersive clays are relatively mobile within a soil . as they move they tend to clog soil pores and form layers of low permeability . surface sealing , restricted water transport and drainage , reduced macro - porosity , increased swelling , and increased soil erosion are likely outcomes .\nflocculated clays tend to be stable and hence result in a relatively resilient soil structure . floccualated clays encourage soils to aggregate , and soils with stable aggregates allow water infiltration and drainage , provide pore spaces for air and water storage , provide housing for soil biology , and are more resistant to erosion .\n. if your soil is sodic , soil testing to find out the concentration of exchangeable and soluble salts in your soil is needed . these numbers will provide you with the information to calculate whether treating the soil with gypsum is practical and cost effective for you .\ncontent of your soils will also significantly improve the stability of your soil and its ability to resist dispersion when the soil is moist .\nlastly , protecting the surface of your soil by maintaining ground cover will decrease the impact of raindrops and other mechanical disturbances on your soil that breakdown the soil and cause dispersion .\nto assess your soil to see if it will disperse , there is a relatively quick and simply test that you can do yourself at home .\npractical note : aggregate stability well aggregated soil is important . it has pores between aggregates and within the aggregate . large pores allow for the exchange of oxygen and other gases with the atmosphere , while small pores hold plant available water and dissolved nutrients .\n. if your soil is sodic , soil testing to find out the concentration of exchangeable and soluble salts in your soil is needed . these numbers will provide you with the information to calculate whether treating the soil with gypsum is practicable and cost effective for you .\nthis work , victorian resources online , is licensed under a creative commons attribution 4 . 0 licence . you are free to re -

balanced team . having both technical and business founders , along with domain experience , is ideal , \u201d chong says .\n\u201cnineteen per cent of the applications were assessed to have little or no market potential . start -

( later commercial union ) , whose address he shared . the shopfront designed by willey for home & colonial had great longevity , enduring into the mid - 20 th century . as well as the bottle - glass transom lights and gilded lettering mentioned above , these shopfronts featured brass sills ( stall plates ) engraved with the legend \u2018home and colonial tea stores\u2019 . beneath this , the

brightens my day .\nwhen drewe and musker opened their first shop on the edgeware road they established a layout and design - or \u2018brand image\u2019 - that would identify home and colonial shops wherever they appeared . here the marketing instincts of musker no doubt played a significant part since he knew the importance of making the shops \u2018stand out\u2019 in a high street full of shops with similar frontages . as a result home and colonial stores appeared in prominent positions in the high street and were usually large , glass fronted places with the company name prominently

the royal masonic institution for boys . the school thrived here , but by 1898 it had it outgrown its home and moved to bushey , and the building was taken over by the home and colonial school society as a training college for ladies .\nlife in colonial america centered around the family . most people worked , played , learned , and worshiped at home . a large family was necessary in colonial days to get all the work done . the father was considered the head of the household . he made all of the decisions concerning their families and earned money through farming and jobs outside the home . women worked in the home , raising the children , preparing the meals , sewing clothes , preserving food for the winter , scrubbing laundry , fetching water , and stoking fires .\nand ham . the first

birmingham and leeds .\ngiven the passage of over 40 years it is perhaps surprising that so many home & colonial shopfronts have survived \u2013 albeit in a fragmentary condition . sadly , no shop interiors exist . . . unless you know otherwise ?\nthe home & colonial trading association was founded in 1885 by the tea buyer julius c . drew ( 1856 - 1931 ) \u2013 who later commissioned sir edwin lutyens to design castle drogo in devon \u2013 and his business partner , the grocer john musker ( 1846 - 1926 ) , who made his home at shadwell park , norfolk , in 1898 . the headquarters and main

carter\u2019s grove , ancestral home of one of the first families of virginia , to its original appearance . their architect , the colonial revival specialist duncan lee , said carter\u2019s grove was not meant to be a museum . it was meant to be comfortable . now a colonial williamsburg exhibition building , the riverside mansion is shown as if the mccreas were still resident .\nnot everyone could boast bloodlines back to the colonists , but most americans could , and did , participate in the colonial revival . people read histories of the founding fathers by authors like henry adams , and historical novels by ellen glasgow , maurice thompson , paul leicester ford , and mary johnston that espoused the superior values of the colonial era . women dressed in colonial garb and attended martha washington tea parties . contemporary clothing fashions borrowed from the colonial : quilted petticoats , mock pannier skirts pulled up on the sides , empire - style high waists , and mobcaps for the women ; and waistcoats for the men . people searched their attics and barns for antiques , or pursued them through the countryside like foxhunters after their quarry . furniture manufacturers adapted colonial - style furniture to modern ceiling heights and room sizes and mass - produced it .\nthe colonial revival movement soared in the 1920s , fueled by the usual turmoil\u2014a world war , the bolshevik revolution , the red scare , and another spike in immigration , all of which increased the nostalgia for the good old colonial days . enthusiasm plunged during the great depression , when only the wealthiest could afford to indulge in antiques , art , and architectural restoration . when the great depression ended with a second world war , interest in things colonial took a backseat to war patriotism and economic recovery . but by the 1950s , the colonial revival taste was climbing again . there were other styles in housing and furnishing , fads like danish modern that came and went , but colonial revival persisted .\nafter chicago\u2019s columbian exposition of 1893 , which celebrated , a year late , the 400th anniversary of columbus\u2019s discovery of america ,

liptons , who retained their own name , to create a company of over 3 , 000 . at this point the business now formed allied suppliers to act as a buyer on behalf of the whole group .\nthe chain continued to trade under the same name however and started to diversify its products . after many more years of trading , in 1964 pearks , maypole , home and colonial and liptons , who were all trading as branches of allied suppliers , came together to share the same headquarters in london , and most functions of the group were centralised , bringing to an end the separate management structures of each of the companies .\nhistoric preservation formed the core of the colonial revival , a social and stylistic mindset that peaked during the 1920s . at its start , the colonial revival was a social movement that looked to a romanticized past for inspiration and answers to modern problems . when architects hijacked the movement in the 1880s , the focal point became the home . the style has dominated the american landscape since , sometimes sharing the scene with other fashions but never shrinking far into the distance .\n, where he had bought teas for his uncle ; the new shop business was so successful that he retired aged 33 . although tea was a key product for the stores , they also sold dairy products , sugar ,\nthe movement\u2019s strongest and earliest proponents were , not surprisingly , men and women whose pedigrees stretched to colonial days . these were people whose ancestors led the country and who were leaders themselves , but whose dominance of the political , economic , and social scenes was waning . genealogical societies sprang up like crocuses in february as scions of colonial families flaunted their superiority over recent arrivals . heritage groups were founded : the sons of the revolution in 1883 , the sons of the american revolution in 1889 , and the daughters of the american revolution in 1890 , when the sons rejected female members . following quickly were the national society of colonial dames , the colonial dames of america , the general society of colonial wars , the children of the american revolution , the society of mayflower descendants , and three dozen others , most now defunct .\nwealthy archibald and molly mccrea , pictured in 1936 , had the means to indulge themselves in all things colonial , including the restoration of the sprawling carter\u2019s grove mansion .\nin time , the colonists learned how to live in the wilderness \u2014 through trial and error and the help of some of the more friendly native american tribes . by the 1700s , small cities and towns were well established . the colonists slowly developed their own customs and lifestyles . eventually they began to feel that this new land was now their true home .\nevery year sees the colonial reaching more perfect expression , not only in furniture but in hangings , draperies , and all the accessories of decoration . . . . so we say that there will be no successor to the colonial style . it is as near perfection in household furniture as can be created , and as such it needs no successor .\nof course , she was wrong . art deco and italian provincial attest to that . but in one sense , she may have been correct . the colonial revival is so firmly established throughout the united states that it has become the default style of architecture and home furnishings . it is not stagnant\u2014each generation tweaks it a little , borrowing what it needs from the past to inspire the present\u2014but it is constant , having \u201cheld its place in spite of the battering of other styles and other times , \u201d as a magazine editor said in 1937 . synonymous with good taste , tradition , and american values , the colonial revival endures .\nas well as tea , coffee and sugar , home & colonial shops became popular for their imported butter and margarine . around 1906 some branches in the north of england were opened as provision ( or dairy ) shops , with tea being the only \u2018grocery\u2019 article on sale , but the general trend was towards diversification of merchandise , including confectionery and tinned goods . window display was standardised , with branch managers following instructions issued from the head office in london .\ni am of a generation that was born after the end of the british empire and therefore never experienced this company but many of an older generation do remember it . by 1961 reflecting the end of the empire the stores were rebranded as allied suppliers . in 1972 the business

indian children\u2019s texts reflect two distinct moods in britain\u2019s colonial enterprise in india . sherwood and hofland ( writing before 1857 ) use the tropes of conversion and captivity as a means of awakening children to the dangers of india , whereas duncan and kipling shift the emphasis to martial prowess , adaptability , and empirical knowledge as defining qualities in british and anglo - indian children . furthermore , goswami\u2019s analysis of early nineteenth - century children\u2019s texts written by women authors redresses the preoccupation with male authors and boys\u2019 adventure stories that have largely informed discussions of juvenility in the context of colonial india .\nmost children in early colonial times never saw the inside of a schoolhouse . instead , colonial children usually learned about the adult world by doing things the way their parents did . but , just because they didn ' t go to school , their lives were not easy . children were expected to help with a share of the family ' s work . boys helped their fathers and girls did chores at home . by a time a girl was four she could knit stockings ! even with all the work they did , colonial children still found time to have fun . they cared for their pets , played with dolls , shot marbles , pitched pennies , and went fishing . they also played tag , stickball , and blindman ' s buff . by the time they had reached age 14 , most children were already considered adults . boys would soon take up their father ' s trade or leave home to become an apprentice . girls learned to manage a house and were expected to marry young , probably by the time they were 16 and surely before they were 20 .\nthere was the notion that architecture and home furnishings could shape character , an idea called \u201cassociationism . \u201d parents who wanted to raise children with noble colonial virtues\u2014honesty , sincerity , strength , and courage\u2014had better bring them up in a colonial - style house surrounded by chippendale furniture and spinning wheels . \u201cluxurious surroundings . . . suggest and induce idleness , \u201d one architect said , while \u201cchasteness and restraint in form , simple but artistic materials are equally expressive of the character of the people who use them . \u201d a furniture manufacturer played to this belief in its 1900 advertisement for an empire - style sofa . \u201cthere is nothing else that can more adequately portray the pure ideas of puritan life . . . . can you conceive of the influence of such a piece in the home ? \u201d how , exactly , a piece of furniture made in the style of the early 1800s related to new england settlers two centuries earlier is not clear . nor was the discrepancy important .\ncolonial architectural styles seemed fresh and new to americans raised among the fuss of victorian ornamentation . elaborate styles like renaissance revival , italianate , and gothic revival competed with , and then acceded to , the simpler forms of an earlier era . one advertisement for a house plan named \u201cthe washington\u201d says that :\na record of painted adverts and doorstep mosaics from britain , france , germany and other parts of the world , and the story behind some of them .\nreviving all things colonial seemed the obvious antidote to the nation\u2019s ills . by preserving , exhibiting , collecting , and reproducing the colonial , americans would be inspired to higher degrees of patriotism . thomas jefferson agreed . during the last year of his life he wrote , \u201csmall things may perhaps , like the relics of saints , help to nourish our devotion to this holy bond of our union . \u201d by the 1890s the colonial revival dominated the northeastern seaboard and was spreading south and west . the flood of immigrants had become a tidal wave . americans everywhere gloried in their heritage even as they worried about its endurance .\ncolonial architectural styles had been out of favor for years before they were revived in the late nineteenth century . not everyone appreciated colonial structures . no less an architect than jefferson said the colonial georgian buildings at williamsburg\u2019s college of william and mary were \u201crude misshapen piles , which , but that they have roofs , would be taken for brick kilns . \u201d in the late 1890s a critic said plain eighteenth - century buildings were \u201coutrageous deformities to the eye and taste . \u201d \u201chappily , \u201d she wrote , \u201cthey were all of such perishable materials , that they will not much longer remain to annoy travellers , in search of the picturesque . \u201d but these were minority opinions . americans had embarked upon a colonial roller - coaster ride in the 1870s and would not get off .\nfurther information about home & colonial shops of this period is available thanks to legal proceedings initiated in 1898 against the world\u2019s tea company , which was accused of deliberately imitating home & colonial\u2019s shopfitting and displays : \u2018the fascia in each case was much the same in appearance , although , of course , each company put in its own name . below this in each case a portion of the window was in cathedral glass or lead - lights\u2019 . inside the counters were in similar positions : \u2018in each case a [ gas ] pipe ran over the counter and carried lamps with glasses of a similar shape . in each case , also , there were labels on the walls with the statement \u201cthis is the \u2013 ( cheese , or as the case might be ) department\u201d . \u2019 the defendant agreed to make specific alterations to its shops , including , apparently , an undertaking not to lay black and white chequered tile floors .\ni served a two

from new england to the southern and western states . in virginia , leading architects like duncan lee and william lawrence bottomley designed many a house patterned on the great tidewater plantations .\nthe education act of 1891 which made elementary education free as well as compulsory led to a further expansion in the training of teachers , and many of the training colleges found it necessary to enlarge their premises . wood green shared in this expansion , as in 1901 the home and colonial school society bought it . the orginal intention of the society was to train teachers for children under the age of seven years , but its scope was later extended to prepare teachers to teach children up to the age of ten .\nin the public\u2019s mind , america\u2019s golden age stretched from the day the pilgrims set foot on plymouth rock\u2014never mind the earlier settlement at jamestown ; this was a northern vision\u2014to the death of the last two founding fathers in 1826 . people referred to the period as \u201ccolonial\u201d though it stretched fifty years past the nation\u2019s birth . so too with furniture : federal , heppelwhite , and sheraton pieces made in the early 1800s were

williamsburg , tucker bought out his siblings\u0092 interest in their childhood home , the st . george tucker house on nicholson street , and installed his own family . in 1834 , william and mary elected him , at age 50 , to fill its vacant law professorship , a position that had been his father\u0092s after wythe\u0092s resignation in 1789 . the law school had since grown all but defunct , but the younger tucker\u0092s reputation as a jurist and his personal charm brought bulging enrollment and new prestige to the college . for the last seventeen years of his life , professor tucker

pit they light up at a night . the atmosphere is beautiful and the service is always great . my favorite server there is antonio , always professional and very knowledgeable of the brand . my favorite item on their menu is the wood fired bbq salmon tacos . amazing , i would have never thought to pair salmon with bbq sauce , the combination is out of this world . the tacos come on corn tortillas with greens , jicama slaw and house salsa . there buffalo chicken wings are amazing too . they are grilled not fried wings and topped with blue cheese crumbs . the price points are a bit high but as expected your at the harbor . highly suggest for a date night or a special event .\nour last visit here was a lunch , valentine ' s day celebration for our family ( not on valentine ' s day ) . the service was very good , very nice server , very attentive . the food at redstone is fine but the entrees and drinks seem over - priced for what you get here . . . .\nah , redstone ' s . i ' m not a friday or saturday night stone ' s / kona grill kind of guy . i do not own a brooks bro ' s shirt or valet park - not my thing ( used to be ) . i go to stone ' s on a late night before a holiday , or on a football sunday ( kind of a fun family brunch vibe - i dig it ) . this is when an establishment true character is revealed . red stone has good people and good service . and wings as i ate a dozen of them - in two visits 5 days apart . to steal one of my favorite lines ,\ngo put some life back in your night life .\nnow ladies ( preferably single ) could you show up on a football sunday ? crickets , just what i thought . . .\nthe money was in place , with $ 10 million from existing shareholders , and a $ 16 . 5 million loan from ge capital corp . , the fairfield , conn . - based financial services unit of general electric co . as late as march , goronkin was talking about redstone easily being a\n200 - to 300 - unit brand .\noberlander had said in his written statement that liquor license regulators in new jersey and potentially other states where the restaurant is located say they intend to pull the restaurant ' s liquor licenses if petters remains a shareholder beyond mid - july . that could destroy redstone , as just over a third of its 2008 revenue came from sales of alcohol , he said .\nhickok and oberlander insisted wednesday that they ' ve resolved the issue , pending montgomery ' s approval of a plan for redstone to pay the receiver $ 75 , 000 for petters ' interest in the chain . the plan includes an option for the receiver to repurchase petters ' shares within the next three years at the same price if they should become more valuable .\nstill sitting in the restaurant and decided to write before i leave so that i don ' t forget . delicious ! everything here is made from scratch in house . add soon as you enter your can smell the very weird smoke flavor from there smoke grill . the flavor transfers onto the meats and the sauces . jerk chicken fondue was awesome ( thank you to the yelper who suggested it ! ) the rotisserie chicken was so tender and so very much flavor . . . gah ! ! ! delicious ! makes me want to go home and buy a smoker ! ! !\nafter work i met my cousin here @ red stone for ladies night . walked inside the place was lit with patron ready to start getting their weekend poppin . we were greeted at the door . ( my kind of place ) . put some respect on it . lol ok back to my review . we were sitted @ a table immediately after a short while our waiter came over to the table . he was extremely nice . he suggested a few house selections off the menu that would be a good start for us . inside this resturant is relaxing . its a great place for a first time date . i ordered the grill chicken wings & garlic mashed pototes ( you can never go wrong with chicken wings ) . my cousin order the shrimps , mac & cheese and cornbread . babyyyy that cornbread with maple butter . yummy . the grill chicken wings were kind of bland . the grilled wings really didn ' t have enough flsvor or season . so , nothing really great to write about on the wings . but the garlic mashed pototes were really good with lots of flavor . overrall red stone is a very nice place to come out and dine to eat or just have a few drinks with your girls or boo\ncame to redstone for dinner . it has a warm ambiance and good selection of beers . i sat at the bar and ordered the braised beef short rib . it was juicy and well prepared . it came with red potatoes and asparagus . nice meal overall and ok price . the nit brown ale was good and a local of maple grove , mn . bar staff was good . great overall experience .\nwhen redstone opened in minnetonka in 1999 , vlahos had an immediate hit . the restaurant , with leather and stone decor , had hourlong weekend waits from the beginning for its pricey meals . by the time he hired goronkin last december , goronkin had taken famous dave ' s from 80 restaurants to nearly 160 . at the time , vlahos said goronkin\nhas the talents to take this thing from six to 100 locations .\ni am not a fan of redstone at all ! see below . food : i ordered the shrimp and calamari , and i also ordered a caesar salad with anchovies . everything was a salty mess . the breading on the shrimp and calamari was ridiculously salty . i was downing water like i hadn ' t drank water in days . the salad had so much potential but the anchovies turned what could have been a good dish into a horrible dish . i know anchovies can be on the salty side , but these anchovies , i felt were bathed in salt . it was horrible . my mini ordered macaroni and cheese , and when she went in for a spoonful , there was hair in it . * gag * service : the service overall was good . our server was attentive , and when i mentioned and showed her the hair that was in my mini ' s macaroni and cheese , she said she would take off $ 2 from the bill . gee . . . thanks . i don ' t recommend redstone at all . definitely won ' t see me again !\nwe were part of a large corporate party with a private dining room . afterwards 5 of us sat down for a drink and honestly we were all relatively sober having had on average about 3 drinks each over a 3 hour period . suddenly our waitress tells us that she cannot serve us because we were served already during dinner . absolutely obtuse , discriminating and offensive on behalf of this restaurant . we were embarrassed in front of the whole bar . so if integrity and respect are important values to you , avoid redstone . - typed on my walk back to my hotel\ni went to redstone for dinner with friends and was super excited since i ' d heard so much about the place ! we had reservations for the night which i see was a good thing because even on a thursday evening , they were packed ! for starters , we had the jerk chicken fondue . just a note - it ' s really not jerk chicken like you would expect for jerk chicken to be . it ' s seasoned with a few cajun spices and has peppers on it . the cheese for the fondue was delicious and you could pretty much put it on anything you were eating ( don ' t judge me ) . i actually enjoyed the croutons ( toasted french bread ) more than anything , for dipping . for my main dish , i had the chilean sea bass over basmati rice . it literally melted in your mouth ! it was cooked to perfection and had the most amazing buttery garlic seared crust ! i inhaled it ! ! also at my table was the redstone burger and the grilled chicken , which also looked delicious . and of course , i had to have my old fashioned . it was average ; nothing to write home about but i enjoyed it nonetheless . service was outstanding . our waiter tended to whatever we needed and was very attentive and proactive about ensuring everything was okay . great place !\ni am a local , i love the national harbor and eat here often . redstone used to be my favorite restaurant . my husband and i would have dinner meetings here , date night , double date , and brunch . when we have guest come in from out of town this was the restaurant that we were proud of and enjoyed taking our guest . recently i have been so disappointed with the service , the food and the overall experience . i feel that the standard has not been compromised . not sure if there is new management but the food is not been as great as usual . in my opinion . it ' s not excellent . the servers are not as good , the list goes on . it ' s not a bad restaurant but def not what it used to be , in my opinion . hopefully things will rise again .\nit was probably the first nice day of spring , we were off , hungry and we needed to be outside ! so we drove , saw redstone and made a beeline to the door . we grabbed a high top on the patio and basked in the sun . it was slightly chilly from the breeze but who cares . sun ! downfall : our bartender was our server so our wait time for everything was slower than it should have been , but sun ! haha here ' s what we shared : salmon flatbread sea bass tacos breaking bread both fish dishes were terribly under seasoned . i mean , so under seasoned we were using the garlic butter from the breaking bread to add some flavor . speaking of the breaking bread . . the sauces that came with it were so delicious we should have ordered two of those ! it wasn ' t a horrible experience so we ' ll definitely be back . . hopefully it ' ll be slightly better !\ni wanted to like this place but i just couldn ' t . i went for lunch on a week day and the place was pretty busy so the crowds must like redstone . the good : the service was great . the side salad that i ordered was huge - so big that i would consider it the size of a normal entree . definitely worth the $ 4 up - charge . the fish tacos were also generously sized . the bad : i ordered the sea bass tacos which came highly recommended by our server and they were just not good . the fish tasted so charred / smoked it was the only flavor i tasted . something about the flavor was seriously off - i wouldn ' t recommend them . my server asked me if i wanted avocado and i said yes but later found out that cost $ 2 . considering i paid $ 19 for the tacos i would have thought the avocado was included . $ 19 tacos , $ 2 avocado , $ 4 up - charge to get a side salad , plus tip made this a $ 40 lunch ! such a bummer . the room we were seated in was pretty cold . i ' m guessing the staff is aware of this because there was a little heater near our table but i still found myself putting my jacket on because it was so cold !\nabout cbs interactive | contact | jobs | advertise | privacy policy | cookie policy | ad choice | terms of use \u00a9 cbs interactive inc . all rights reserved .\nto apply for a management position , please forward your resume to the attention of jennifer vaske .\nto apply for an hourly position , please call or visit one of our locations or click on one of the links below to apply online .\nfirst , try refreshing the page and clicking current location again . make sure you click allow or grant permissions if your browser asks for your location . if your browser doesn ' t ask you , try these steps :\nat the top of your chrome window , near the web address , click the green lock labeled secure .\nin the window that pops up , make sure location is set to ask or allow .\nyou ' re good to go !

loved the vibe . the ros\u00e9 , shrimp and flatbread were great ! we ordered wings and people at the tables said they were thumbs down so i didn ' t try them . we also ordered the cornbread , it was pretty good , came in a cast iron skillet and had jalape\u00f1o in them . seems like i fun place to go in the summer cause the outside seating . will have to stop by for dinner in the near future !\ni gave them 3 tries & honestly they ' re just ok . the 1st 2 tries i didn ' t enjoy my food or drinks . this 3rd time i enjoyed it all . we ordered the infamous buffalo shrimp that were delicious . i also ordered the beef short ribs as my entree and it too was really good . i guess it depends on what u order . on prior visits i had steak and didn ' t enjoy my meal . service on this visit was a 5 . our waitress was totally attentive and accommodating . good sangria and the pineapple house drink was ok too . very strong hand pour . i think i may go back more often .\nvery nice restaurant , but extremely expensive for the food and drinks which were good but nothing to go crazy over . i had a great flatbread and my husband ordered a sirloin . both tasty , but again i could go somewhere else and get similar quality food for a more reasonable price . they had a good peanut butter dessert that we tried . nice place to go for drinks with friends since the bar is big and has many tv ' s . however , the food portions are small for the price . i probably wouldn ' t return . if i ' m going to spend money at an establishment , i want to feel satisfied with my meal and i didn ' t get that .\ni was only here briefly and ate a few appetizers for brunch with ~ 25ish family friends in a private guest room . the room was nice and separated with a curtain from the rest of the restaurant so we really felt like we had a nice intimate space to ourselves . i really only got to try their appetizers and omg they were awesome . their cornbread was great and i probably could ' ve eaten their jumbo fried buffalo shrimp all day . they had a little fondue platter for each table too which had very good chicken and a nice variety of other dipping items ( grapes , apples , etc ) . i didn ' t pick up the tab so i don ' t know price wise how this sits , but the quality of what i tried was great .\ni consider this establishment a gem in the community . although i ' ve eaten here many times , i never took the time to review them , but today ' s the day ! 1st let me say , i love the atmosphere . always a good time whenever the decision was made to have dinner there . was a little disappointed this last time because they were out of the delicious ribs . however , i did enjoy the roasted barbecue chicken and that amazing cornbread . the waiter matt was very polite and attentive . i look forward to my next visit .\nthis place is super tasty . the service was so good . the waiter was really nice and the atmosphere is family friendly . it ' s not super fancy , but it ' s not as casual as chile ' s . the food was really good ! the salmon was really good and the mashed potatoes were so good ! ! i highly recommend it ! my husband had the crab cakes and he loved them . this was a great treat ! i was surprised at how good the food was . it ' s worth the drive from the city . they also had free parking !\nthis is a great place situated near oak brook , it can be a bit difficult to find as it ' s nestled in by office buildings . when inside you ' re instantly met with friendly hostesses and a wood smell . there ' s a lot of fireplaces here too , very warm and in general a fun atmosphere . now onto the food . recommend start with the cornbread , it ' s the real deal . their steaks and chops are very good and they will make you a great cesar salad . desserts , everything is great . key lime pie or their special have never disappointed me .\ni just had the worse experience here . service was terrible . just trying to take my daughter and family out for dinner to celebrate her high school graduation . waiter was terrible . he was no where to be found . we had to ask for beverages and other items at least twice . i work had for my money and i don ' t mind tipping but the service was terrible . we spent over $ 500 and were do very disappointed with the dinner . not planning on returning . think twice about going there .\none of my favorite go to places . great food and great service . it ' s summer time so there is music to accompany the great atmosphere .\n\u201cwith a pretty good selection of wine and appetizers - try the buffalo shrimp - this is a great spot for lunch or dinner . \u201d in 94 reviews\n\u201cthe jerk chicken fondue is full of flavors and the cornbread will leave you salivating . \u201d in 32 reviews\n\u201cthe lodge cornbread is one of the best i have had , especially smothered in their maple butter . \u201d in 23 reviews\nyour trust is our top concern , so businesses can ' t pay to alter or remove their reviews . learn more .\nheads up : from now on , other yelpers will be able to see how you voted . want to chime in ?\nk k . still sitting in the restaurant and decided to write before i leave so that i don ' t forget . \u2026\nwe calculate the overall star rating using only reviews that our automated software currently recommends .\namazing view from the over the water seats . quieter than the outside bar tables . sophia was amazing . crab dip was delicious . could use more chips coconut crusted halibut was delicious !\ndurning the independence day weekend my family came in town and we decided to do the\nharbor\nexperience . we were a table of seven who in total spent over $ 500 . now you have the context i will go in to the pro ' s and con ' s . pro - no wait , seated in 5 minutes . - food was great . - server ( jordan ) was real nice . con - messed up drink order . - forgot one of our orders . the rest of the table waited patiently to eat for everyone to receive food . - no compensation was offered for forgotten meal . no offers to pay for the meal , appetizer , or dessert . - dessert plates were dirty . - appetizers were brought out with our meals not any earlier . - there were no hand towels in the bathroom . - no toilet paper in bathroom .\nthe big bummer - they do not provide any nutritional information . in restaurant or online . came for lunch and i had the margherita flatbread and it was delicious . we also tried the boom boom cauliflower and it was good too . according to our server , most of the food is made from scratch in house . you can see some of their rotisserie chickens roasting right over a nice big fire . the outdoor seating area on the water is great , literally right above the water with a glass divider so you could still see out into the harbor . our server jordan was great and service was fast .\ncame here for dinner on a saturday ! spacious restaurant , they have an outdoor seating area as well . solid restaurant . good food , good service , i was just shocked on the pricing of food . i mean even the appetizers were pretty pricy ! for food : buffalo jumbo shrimp - a must . it ' s amazing , so juicy and full of flavor . almost ordered this as an entree ! i loved it . cornbread - this cornbread is up there with some of my favorite cornbreads . so so so good . you can either get a skillet size or a slice ! buffalo chicken sandwich - this was also very good ! i really enjoyed how they cooked the chicken , and it was a nice portion ! i don ' t know how they make their sauce , but they know what they ' re doing . i also had the burger , it was cooked well , but i also like mine very plain , so it wasn ' t super amazing , but good . i ' ll definitely be back for the cornbread and shrimp ! i also need to try the deserts , looked good !\ni took my mom here for a mommy / daughter date and the staff + food exceeded all of our expectations . there was a little wait on the saturday we visited , about 15 mins , but that went by fast ! once seated , we were instantly greeted by our server who was absolutely amazing . i hate that i forgot his name , but he was super lively , had plenty of jokes to share , and gave 5 - star recommendations . my mom went with the general tso burger and i went with the crab cake sandwich . ( we also had white sangria with both of our meals . ) the food was bomb y ' all ! at first my mom ' s fries didn ' t come out hot , but the manager swapped them out so fast we didn ' t even mark it down as a real issue in our review . as a team , from front of the house to the back , they deserved to have a 5 - star review . thank you so much for the service and the laughs !\nhad the shrimp app . very good ! surprised with the nice presentation . sat outside . so windy right on the potomac but worth sitting out . great cornbread served in a cast iron pan with excellent butter . had the burgers and the buffalo chicken burger with outstanding blue cheese and good french fries . ok service . worth the visit . great burger\nexcellent service , great view , and the meal sealed the deal . i had the general tso turkey burger with fries . delicious ! one minor issue - my fires weren ' t hot . the manager happened to walk by and asked how we were doing . before i could finish telling him about the issue , he immediately said no a problem and in seconds i had a fresh order of hot fries . so attentive towards the customers . oh , almost forgot about the drinks . . . absolutely impressive to the eyes and tasteful to the tongue . the white sangria with everything else made the night one to remember .\nbar tender tish was awesome my blood orange cosmo was off the hook ! working on my food now . . . . i had a mango margarita not as good as the blood orange cosmo , cranberry and vodka . i had cheese flatbread , caesar salad , and fries . all tasty lettuce a little tire from sitting out , flatbread had pepperoni . overall not bad . staff upbeat atmosphere great and glad to once again patronize my community and share the what folds in my community . thanks tish at the bar you were awesome . oh yeah the view is awesome too .\nwent in for some apps and drinks , crab dip was amazing . pieces of card were so big we actually had to cut some crab meat in half . nice outdoor deck in the national harbor complex with a great view of the potomac .\nit was crowded but the wait wasn ' t too painful , we were seated by the window with an excellent view of the ferris wheel . my wife really wanted to sit outside but we were told by one of the hostess table was reserved for a party that never showed , when they did show it appeared they were family of one of the employees . . . go figure . my wife ordered the crab cakes and the brussels sprouts which they ran out of but the chef came out and offered her a replacement of anything she wanted and gave her a free dessert ( i really wish i would have gotten his name ) oh ! ! i almost forgot he informed us that they do not reserve tables on the weekend ( go figure ) ! but for the most part if i ' m in national harbor again , i may return\nthe atmosphere is really cool . like an upscale sports bar . the wings , calamari & shrimp was delicious , but that cornbread there , man it ' s damn good ! ! i ' m looking for an excuse to drive back down there so i can have a reason to b\ni came here on a wednesday evening for dinner - - made a reservation for 8 : 30 and we were seated at about 8 : 35 . we were immediately impressed by the overall ambiance of the place - - our seat overlooked the wonderful dock and water . we ordered the wings and cornbread for our appetizers along with a couple glasses of wine - - all of our choices were really great . for our entrees , we tried the grilled salmon and rib eye steak selections . they were definitely pricey but i ' d argue that they are worth it . the portion sizes were great and between the apps and entrees we had enough food for leftovers the next day . this is a nice choice for a dress up and treat yourself kind of night !\nmy friend and i went here and our experience was not the greatest . we went to the bar and was asked for our id ' s . we both are and look way older than 21 . the manager stated well if i don ' t ask , my staff wont ask . however , there were more people who came and he didn ' t ask them for there id . we ordered food , and our food came out about 45 minutes later . however , people who ordered food after ours ; came out within 10 minutes . we have been here prior to this and had better service . this particular night just wasn ' t great at all . we will be going back , if the service is better i will add an updated review . but on a good note , the food and drinks were great ."]}

april 1945 ( when president harry truman took office ) and mid - july , japanese forces inflicted allied casualties totaling nearly half those suffered in three full years of war in the pacific , proving that japan had become even more deadly when faced with defeat . in late july , japan\u2019s militarist government rejected the allied demand for surrender put forth in the potsdam declaration , which threatened the japanese with \u201cprompt and utter destruction\u201d if they refused .\nsince 1639 , japan had maintained an official policy of isolation from europe and most of its colonies , and emigration was strictly controlled . however , in the years that followed perry ' s arrival , japan underwent a tremendous social transformation , and for many japanese the u . s . increasingly became a model not only of modern military might , but also of a desirable way of life .\nat noon on august 15 , 1945 ( japanese time ) , emperor hirohito announced his country\u2019s surrender in a radio broadcast . the news spread quickly , and \u201cvictory in japan\u201d or \u201cv -

rajul al - hadidy ) , sandibell , sally ( the little princess ) , lady , captain majid , captain thabit , ninja , al - darba al - sa iqa , al - ramyatul multahiba , and many more . for many of you otakus out there , you may not recognize these titles . unfortunately , i do not know the original japanese title they were under . however , those of you familiar with arabic anime may recognize some of these titles . anyhow , that was my source of anime but it still was not enough for me . i knew there had to be anime here is the states , i just did not know where to look .\nnoisy boy ' s fighting style is built off of pre - programed professional moves that are plenty powerful . unfortunately , the moves can be intercepted because they can ' t change , but the sheer amount of pre made combos and the creation of new combo ' s via basic commands can compensate for said weakness . he is designed to fight in the wrb league , so he is very vulnerable to illegal moves . due to being controlled by voice command coupled with many pre -

pound uranium - 235 bomb was loaded aboard a modified b - 29 bomber christened enola gay ( after the mother of its pilot , colonel paul tibbets ) . the plane dropped the bomb\u2013known as \u201clittle boy\u201d\u2013by parachute at 8 : 15 in the morning , and it exploded 2 , 000 feet above hiroshima in a blast equal to 12 - 15 , 000 tons of tnt , destroying five square miles of the city .\njapanese immigrants began their journey to the united states in search of peace and prosperity , leaving an unstable homeland for a life of hard work and the chance to provide a better future for their children . however , before the first generation of immigrants could enjoy the fruits of their labor , they had to overcome hostile neighbors , harsh working conditions , and repeated legislative attacks on their very presence in the country . acceptance came only after the immigrants and their children were forced to endure one of the 20th century ' s worst crimes against civil liberties , and from that crucible fought to claim their place in the life of the nation .\ni searched for the array of bytes again a few times . it moved from 0237ddc1 to 0240ddc1 to 023fddc1 . interestingly the last two byes remain the same which i didn ' t expect . i checked bgb ' s vram viewer again and found that the array of bytes i was searching for starts from 9dc1 in the virtualised game boy ' s memory . i guess the developer of bgb has kept the last part dc1 aligned to memory in the same way ( by the way , this is why i went with the first address and not the second ) . i can certainly see how it would be faster instead of mapping onto offset memory values requiring an additional calculation on every access .\non august 6 , 1945 , during world war ii ( 1939 - 45 ) , an american b - 29 bomber dropped the world\u2019s first deployed atomic bomb over the japanese city of hiroshima . the explosion wiped out 90 percent of the city and immediately killed 80 , 000 people ; tens of thousands more would later die of radiation exposure . three days later , a second b - 29 dropped another a - bomb on nagasaki , killing an estimated 40 , 000 people . japan\u2019s emperor hirohito announced his country\u2019s unconditional surrender in world war ii in a radio address on august 15 , citing the devastating power of \u201ca new and most cruel bomb . \u201d\nhiroshima\u2019s devastation failed to elicit immediate japanese surrender , however , and on august 9 major charles sweeney flew another b - 29 bomber , bockscar , from tinian . thick clouds over the primary target , the city of kokura , drove sweeney to a secondary target , nagasaki , where the plutonium bomb \u201cfat man\u201d was dropped at 11 : 02 that morning . more powerful than the one used at hiroshima , the bomb weighed nearly 10 , 000 pounds and was built to produce a 22 - kiloton blast . the topography of nagasaki , which was nestled in narrow valleys between mountains , reduced the bomb\u2019s effect , limiting the destruction to 2 . 6 square miles .\nafter a bit of thought i came up with the idea of looking for one of the background map areas in the gameboy ' s vram ( video ram ) . these define which tiled graphics are used to draw a background to the screen by referencing areas of the gameboy ' s character ram which is where the tiled graphic data is stored . once discovered the idea was then to read an array of bytes and map the values of the bytes to japanese characters . this approach will only work providing the tile data always stays in the same place though i ' m guessing this will be the case as it would be more bother for the developers to keep moving it around .\nthe largest pane in bgb ' s debugger window shows all of the game boy ' s memory but is focused on a particular area of interest starting at 9d80 , placing it somewhere with the second background map memory area 9c00 - 9fff . i ' ve highlighted the first byte 79 . this is a reference to the address of a tile stored in the character ( tile ) memory area which ranges from 8000 - 97ff . in this case 79 references memory address 9790 . i carried on looking down the list and saw how this same code was also responsible for the picture of professor oak currently on my screen which really confirmed my initial assumption that i ' d found part of a routine for populating the screen from the background map .\nthe first idea i had for finding the japanese text currently displayed on the screen was to look for some kind of unique identifier for the current line , and then reading it from the rom after having loaded the whole rom into memory . this is the same technique that is used in the article i previously mentioned . the downside of this is that any placeholders e . g . for a player name , location , character name and so on would be missing and i had decided pok\u00e9mon was a good candidate game for my application but didn ' t want text that read\n[ placeholder ] sent out [ placeholder ] . go [ placeholder ] !\nand\n[ placeholder ] used [ placeholder ] attack\n.\nsome parts of this page won ' t work property . please reload or try later .\njermaine fowler and omari hardwick of sorry to bother you take us back in time to the worst jobs of their careers .\nsearch for\nbring back . . . the one -

97ff ) . some of these will be used to display what is currently drawn to the screen . in this instance you can see that each hiragana and katakana character , including numerals and special characters , has been loaded into vram and occupies a single tile . the fact that the whole character set is present in vram is good news as it means they are likely static and don ' t move around throughout the game . not all games work this way however but my idea relies on them staying in the same place so that when i read the reference to tile number b1 ( pictured above ) in the gameboy ' s background map i can safely assume it is an \u3042 and not some other character . apart from being reasonably text heavy this is another reason that pok\u00e9mon was a good choice .\ni ' m going to show you what one of the gameboy ' s background maps actually looks like . there are two and they are nothing more than defined areas of vram . they start at one address and end at another . according to this gameboy memory map they exist at 9800 - 9bff ( background map data area 1 ) and 9c00 - 9fff ( background map data area 2 ) . using bgb ' s debugger we can easily find them .\nup until now we ' ve been using bgb ' s tools to look at the memory of virtualised gameboy hardware but our application won ' t have access to these tools . it will need to look inside bgb ' s allocated memory area inside our computers ram to find the virtualised gameboy memory areas we are interested in .\nwe will need another tool to enable us to search inside bgb ' s allocated memory . initially i used ollydbg but switched to cheat engine as i found it a little easier to work with despite it not really being built for this task . with the game open in cheat engine i needed something to search for . the text \u306f\u3058\u3081\u307e\u3057\u3066\uff01 was currently shown in the game and by using bgb ' s vram viewer we can work out this will be stored as tiles ca , bc , d2 , cf , bc , c3 , and e7 ( the bc tile is used for both \u3058 and \u3057 but more on this later ) and should appear in this order somewhere inside the virtual gameboy ' s background memory , which is somewhere inside bgb ' s allocated memory . now we can start looking for an address to use in our application that will take us straight to the background map memory area within bgb ' s allocated memory .\nas you can see in the picture above i found two address where the array of bytes i was searching for exists . at first i thought this might be the echo area of ram . the gameboy has an area of ram you ' re not supposed to use that just echos the content in c000 - ddff . however , the background maps aren ' t stored in that range so i ' ve no idea what the second address is for , but it seems to contain a full copy of the background map .\ni decided to go with the first address ( for a reason i ' ll explain later ) so now i want to try something , i close bgb , start it back up again , same game , same point in the game , check 0237ddcc1 and i don ' t see ca bc d2 cf bc c3 e7 anymore . not really surprising as every time a program starts it is allocated a different range of memory to run with .\nhandy as it is that the last part is always ddc1 , i now need a way to get the whole address . i decided to see when this area of code was being accessed and attached cheat engine ' s debugger to bgb ' s process . using\nfind out what accesses this address\n. i threw up a couple of instructions and the first looked quite interesting . i could see that at some point register eax held the address where my array of bytes started from and that this address had been moved from register ebp into eax . i hit the\nshow disassembler\nbutton to find out more .\nthe disassembler shows that the value in register ebp had been created by adding registers ax + edi together . i decided to toggle a breakpoint on mov eax , ebp which was just after the lea ebp , [ eax + edi ] instruction so i could take a look at the values of the registers eax and edi prior to eax being modified .\nas you can see in the image above . eax contains 0241c000 , edi contains 00001dc9 and the result of the two added together , 0241ddc9 was in ebp . as i ran the code i saw eax remained the same and edi was incremented by one . this was probably part of a routine for drawing a background map to the screen .\nafter seeing how the address i was interested in was comprised of two addresses being added together , the first of which wasn ' t as i ran through it i decided i ' d search for an array of bytes containing 0241c000 . but first , i was curious about something and decided to poke a little further . cheat engine has a\nfind out what addresses this instruction access\nfeature . this gave me a long list of memory addresses that looked like areas of the background map . the first address in the list was 0241dd80 . let ' s browse this memory region .\nin the middle of the picture you can see an area of memory . at the top our address 0241dd80 with contents 79 ( a tile number ) . look at bgb ' s vram viewer on the left and you ' ll see tile 79 is the top left corner of the box that text appears in during the game . this should now look very familiar as is the same thing we were previously looking at in bgb ' s vram viewer .\ni went with the first address in my list 004fe295 . now i ' d be able to read the first two byes of this address then append ddc1 and this would give me a reliable way of drilling down into the area of memory in the bgb process i ' m interested in that would persist across restarts of the software .\nyou can see how the gameboy screen is comprised of 8x8 tiles and how each character takes up one of those tiles but what about the \u3058 and \u30dd characters ? the dakuten and handakuten both sit on their own lines of text for these . this was done because there wasn ' t enough room for all of those characters in their rendaku form .\nby this point in time my application was just spitting things out the console but it needed a proper interface . the instant lookup dictionary i wanted to use was rikaichan which i use on a daily basis . this is a web based so i ' d need a web based interface to make use of this . after i got a quick http server piping out my data i wrote a quick html page and some javascript to poll my application for changes and update only when a change is found .\ni ' d now got a working prototype that could assist in my studies . the prototype is written in c # though i ' ll admit c + + seems like a better fit for this but i wanted a chance to play around with c # and it seemed like a good language for a quick proof of concept .\nthere are a few improvements i ' d consider making to my application . in the near future i ' d like to rework the code to support other games . in the distant future perhaps i ' ll use websockets instead of polling as it feels cleaner to me and i might even consider reworking the code to support other emulators .\neven before the outbreak of war in 1939 , a group of american scientists\u2013many of them refugees from fascist regimes in europe\u2013became concerned with nuclear weapons research being conducted in nazi germany . in 1940 , the u . s . government began funding its own atomic weapons development program , which came under the joint responsibility of the office of scientific research and development and the war department after the u . s . entry into world war ii . the u . s . army corps of engineers was tasked with spearheading the construction of the vast facilities necessary for the top - secret program , codenamed \u201cthe manhattan project \u201d ( for the engineering corps\u2019 manhattan district ) .\nafter world war ii , most of hiroshima would be rebuilt , though one destroyed section was set aside as a reminder of the effects of the atomic bomb . each august 6 , thousands of people gather at peace memorial park to join in interfaith religious services commemorating the anniversary of the bombing .\nover the next several years , the program\u2019s scientists worked on producing the key materials for nuclear fission\u2013uranium - 235 and plutonium ( pu - 239 ) . they sent them to los alamos , new mexico , where a team led by j . robert oppenheimer worked to turn these materials into a workable atomic bomb . early on the morning of july 16 , 1945 , the manhattan project held its first successful test of an atomic device\u2013a plutonium bomb\u2013at the trinity test site at alamogordo , new mexico .\naccess hundreds of hours of historical video , commercial free , with history vault . start your free trial today .\nwe strive for accuracy and fairness . but if you see something that doesn ' t look right ,\n\u00a9 2018 , a & e television networks , llc . all rights reserved .\nby submitting your information , you agree to receive emails from history and a + e networks . you can opt out at any time .\nyou will soon receive an activation email . once you click on the link , you will be added to our list . if you do not receive this email , please contact us . to ensure delivery to your inbox , add us to your address book .\nat this time we are unable to complete your subscription . this email address has been previously opted out from receiving any emails from a + e networks . if you changed your mind , please contact us and indicate that you would like to subscribe to history emails .\nif you completed your subscription and still have not received an email , please contact us .\nyou will soon receive an email with a direct link to your profile , where you can update your preferences . if you do not receive this email , please contact us .\nbut the adventures begin with a little origami . the paper - folding art form is the centerpiece of a storytelling show that kubo ( voiced by art parkinson ) performs for his village .\n\u201cif you must blink , do it now , \u201d he says as he begins . then , using a guitar and a little magic , he brings sheets of paper to life as characters that act out a story . that narrative is a miniature version of the movie\u2019s plot , which is the first of laika\u2019s films to be directed by its president and chief executive , travis knight .\nusing one frame from the film , here is a closer look at how the origami sequence came together , including commentary from mr . knight and one of the animators , kevin parry .\n1 . kubo electrifies a crowd with his samurai tale . \u201cthe deeper i got into the movie , the more of myself i saw in this kid , \u201d mr . knight said . \u201che\u2019s an artist , he\u2019s a storyteller , he\u2019s a musician , and he\u2019s an animator , really . \u201d\nkubo\u2019s design stands in sharp contrast to the perfect geometric shapes of the fantasy paper figures . for the design of kubo and the other human characters , the filmmakers were inspired by dolls from the late edo period in japan ; the period ran from the early 1600s to the mid - 1800s .\nthose dolls were historically made from cloth , wood , lacquer paper and human hair . so the animators used human hair on kubo , with a silicon coat combed through it for durability .\na scene where origami figures come to life in \u201ckubo and the two strings . \u201d\n2 . as kubo starts his show , his characters are conjured from flat pieces of paper that fly into the sky and magically fold into characters and objects . stop - motion origami is something new for a laika film and presented animators with a challenge .\n\u201cthey would just leave me with a bunch of sheets of paper and say , \u2018go figure it out , \u2019\u201d mr . parry recalled . he eventually decided to use cinefoil , a kind of malleable aluminum material . that was covered with paper towels and painted .\nthe folding of the paper had to look real only from the camera\u2019s point of view , so the animators , rather than creating real origami , cut out shapes and discreet bits of folded paper that would appear to form out of a single sheet ."]}

morse trainmaster . the athearn h24 - 66 trainmaster was an early example of prototype - specific tooling being offered on ready - to - run plastic models . in 1984 athearn improved their locomotive line with a new drive that had new narrower motors and new handrail stanchions . new plastic emd blomberg truck side frames were applied to the f7 , gp9 and gp35 . athearn introduced the sd40 -

and now you know trhe rest of the story . . . .\nand , there where several 70 ' business cars very similar to the athearn observation . so only the pullman and diner are totally without a close prototype .\ni have a number of athearn heavyweights that i bought in the days when they and the rivarossi cars were the best heavyweights you could buy in plastic .\nmodel die casting relocates to los angeles , california . irv athearn moves his business from his mother ' s home to a separate location in hawthorne , california .\nirv athearn started the athearn company along with his love for accumulating and building model trains in the year of 1938 . he initially launched by building a big o scale setup at his parents residence of which in the end he marketed for a large ten thousand dollars . for this period that was in fact a whole lot of cash that also supplied him all the foresight and vision to produce the athearn company which would definitely be come his income for many a year to come .\nathearn has been producing ho scale model trains since 1948 , and has since expanded into a full line of ready - to - run rolling stock and locomotives .\nathearn introduces a gear - drive version of the 4 - 6 - 2 and a gear - driven 0 - 4 - 2t and 0 - 6 - 0 .\nbeyond the mentioned releases of the late ' 60s to the early 1980s , i am including examples and some information on earlier athearn products like their ' 60s steam engines . i knew athearn once made steam engines and offered ready - to - run train sets , but that was ancient history to me growing up in the 1970s .\nthey ' re good running dependable cars , and in recent years have excellent paint and lettering . palace car co . makes interiors for many of the athearn cars .\nalco pa1 and pb1 models were introduced in 1970 , and a year later u28b , u28c , u30b , u30c , u33b and u33c diesels were released . in the 1970 ' s cox trains complete line of ho products consisted almost entirely of athearn produced items , including f - 7a and b diesels , gp - 35 diesels , sw - 1500 diesels , u28 - c diesels , pa - 1 and hustler locomotives . rolling stock produced by athearn for cox included the 40 ' box car , 50 ' plug door box car , 40 ' reefer , 40 ' hopper , 40 ' cattle car 3 - dome tank car , 62 ' tank car , single - dome tank car , 50 ' gondolas , cupola and bay window cabooses , 50 ' auto box car and athearn ' s streamline passenger cars . cox also marketed several athearn accessories as their own . athearn also supplied freight cars for atlas to sell with its roco - made diesel locomotives in train sets starting in 1975 . these sets consisted of emd diesels made in austria by roco that were trend - setters in the marketplace , and atlas packaged fully assembled athearn rolling stock that was standard pieces from the athearn line .\nathearn introduces the 4 - 6 - 2 steam locomotive with the hi - f drive , and the 50 ' double door box car , quad hopper and pickle cars .\nathearn introduces the sd40 - 2 and sd40t - 2 tunnel motor . with the new narrow motors , these are athearn ' s first hood units to feature scale - width hoods . ( all previous diesels , except the f7 , pa1 / pb1 , f45 & fp45 had hoods that were too wide to accommodate the earlier wider motors . )\nathearn introduces the plastic - bodied rdc - 1 and rdc - 3 , powered by the hi - f drive , and a plastic version of the 200 - ton crane .\nonly talking about ho rolling stock and locos , that would likely be a tie between the athearn rtr f7 and the model power mantua classics 4 - 6 - 2 pacific .\nathearn introduces the 4 - 6 - 2 steam locomotive with the hi - f drive , as well as the 50 ' double door box car , quad hopper and pickle cars .\nathearn improves the locomotive line with a new drive with new narrower motors and new handrail stanchions . new plastic emd blomberg truck sideframes are applied to the f7 , gp9 and gp35 .\ncensus records can tell you a lot of little known facts about your athearn ancestors , such as occupation . occupation can tell you about your ancestor ' s social and economic status .\nbecause of the quantity produced and number of years made , nearly all athearn ho blue box kits and ready to run plastic injection molded trains and n scale pieces are easy and inexpensive to obtain . complete ' o ' scale and ho scale yellow box wood and metal kits from the 1940 ' s and 50 ' s are more difficult to find however . the challenge , entertainment and value to collecting athearn trains may lie in locating unbuilt , original mint kit examples with all the parts and paperwork . this would include the athearn , model die casting and global lines .\nin this ever changing hobby , sometimes vintage is indeed better . if you hook up 6 old athearn santa fe streamlined passenger cars to a super chief , you won ' t be disappointed .\nhaving said that my entire passenger fleet is athearn cars , both streamlined and heavyweight . the cars remain a bargain compared with the walthers , and rapido cars . through careful bidding on e - bay , i acquired enough equipment to outfit three 4 car trains for around $ 100 . so for the cost of two to three walthers or rapido cars , i got 12 athearn cars .\nand the funny thing is , the very next issue , jan ' 55 , the globe ad no longer has the athearn reference . and lindsey also released a power chassis for the globe model .\ni ' m not sure what the issue is with some of the haters on here but i have had the best results from all of athearn ' s lines . maintain and do upkeep on the locomotive\nthe athearn streamline passenger cars are loosly based on santa fe cars . only the rpo and baggage are the correct length . the coach , diner , & observation are shortened by about 12 scale feet .\non my postwar era dcc ho layout today , about 25 percent of the cars are athearn bb , and about another 10 percent are athearn derived cars from bev - bel , etc . all have kds , slightly weathered trucks , and a spray of dull cote . imho , they look just fine , and are easily the most reliable runners . and yet , some of them are\npushing 50\n!\ni ' m pretty sure the athearn cars you mention are the same as the ones available now . fwiw the old athearn ( and mdc for that matter ) cars and engines usually had not - too - hot lettering before the 1990 ' s . athearn in particular used a kind of milky white for lettering ( like white on a brown boxcar ) that bled thru and didn ' t look very good at all . most\nserious\nmodelers back in the day bought undec kits and decorated them using champ or walthers decals . in recent years , the\nrtr\ncars have had much much better decoration .\nmenteer & voelckel ' s company is now called model die casting , inc . and resumes production of the roundhouse products line by summer . irv athearn becomes a full - time retailer of model railroading supplies .\non july 2 , athearn purchases the f - unit tooling by paul lubliner from highliners to be used in the genesis line . highliners retains the rights to sell the f - units in undecorated kit form .\ncensus records can give you a fascinating window into the day - to - day lives of your athearn ancestors - like hours worked per week , level of education , veteran status , employers , and more .\nathearn introduces the plastic - bodied rdc - 1 and rdc - 3 , powered by the hi - f drive , and a plastic version of the 200 - ton crane , replacing the metal rdcs and crane .\nsome may laugh at honoring these older athearn items . the metal sideframes that frequently sparked as they ran and could short out with some degree of ease . the wide body shells and clunky handrails . the now crude appearing tampo stamp printing of heralds and lettering . however , if you grew up on these athearn models you ' ll appreciate the charm of these features today . they ' re fun to collect too . because of the quantity produced and number of years made , nearly all these athearn pieces are easy and inexpensive to obtain . the challenge and entertainment may be in locating unbuilt , mint examples with all the paperwork , etc .\nthe athearn cars run well and are easily detailed into very nice models if you are happy with their freelanced nature . i prefer them until and unless i can buld a layout with all 60\nradius curves .\non june 14 , model die casting is purchased by horizon hobby . the roundhouse name will be used only for ho - scale pre - wwii products , with the rest of the roundhouse line under the athearn name .\nnot to prolong things , but since i am jus tnow hittign the mid - 50 ' s in reading through the mr 75 year dvd set , i came across the first mr ad which globe and athearn are mentioned - dec 54 , an add for the f7 , which has the globe models logo , underneath which it says\nan athearn quality product\n. this was a powered f7 model now , not the original globe unpowered version .\ngrowing up in new zealand in the 1960 ' s we were limited to marklin and fleischmann for european modellers , hornby dublo or triang for british and fleischmann or triang for north american . athearn or other us models were quite rare .\ngood point paul , those did slip my mind as the op seemed interested in athearn history . both are i believe making those kits pretty much as they were produced in the late 40 ' s early 50 ' s so they would be older .\nperiodically athearn would rerun production ( almost all of it batch i believe ) and change the number of the cars , and perhaps add some new rr heralds . this was great for building up long trains of similar cars - but with different road numbers .\nthe athearn pullman is very odd indeed , as the window layout on the sides are identical , leaving no provision for compartments or rooms on one side , and the corridor on the other . there were never any short pullman sleepers . it is an approximation .\njust so everyone is clear , the athearn heavyweight rpo is 67 scale feet long and is actually a rpo - baggage combine . the rpo end is close , but not exact for a 30 ' rpo section . closing up a window or two makes it closer .\nprofessor athearn was one of the founders as well as past president of the western history association , and during his career held numerous positions on historical committees , academic societies , and editorial boards . his impact as a teacher was equally great , he instructed thousands of undergraduate students over the years , and trained a score of contemporary western historians in the profession he loved . as part of his legacy , dr . athearn endowed a lectureship in the department of history at the university of colorado at boulder to be held on topics in western history .\nplease note that this site was created for use by those with an interest in ho -

scale trains resource\niirc the athearn rpo is 63 ' , the baggage car is 67 ' , and the coach is 70 ' or 72 ' - all quite correct for heavyweight cars . the diner , sleeper and observation cars are 80 ' cars shortened to the same length as the coach .\nit is interesting to read about people ' s priorities . the athearn cars seem to appeal to kitbashers as raw material , or to guys who are not that concerned with passenger car accuracy , being more concerned with other things . not that there ' s anything wrong with that !\nwhile the majority of the athearn cars aren ' t based on specific prototypes , with the exception of the heavyweight pullman , they capture the flavor of a number of cars . they are also shorter then most prototype cars , a concession to the sharp curves common to many model railroads .\nathearn introduces the gp60 , gp50 phase ii and c44 - 9w . the dd40 is released with flywheels . in september , the non - flywheel version of the f7 is discontinued . from this point on , the only difference between the standard and super - powered f7s is the large weight .\nheavyweight passenger , streamlined passenger , warbonnet and iron horse are all train model types that the athearn company is very famous for releasing . locomotives , rolling stock , vehicles and accessories all fall under the ho scale and wave been well produced by the athearn company . the very current model is the genesis which now comes with tsunami sound as well as dcc controllers from sound traxx . some of the most sought after kits are the ho ready to roll type which because of their brilliant paint schemes , numbering decals , detailed air hoses , mu hoses and coupler lifting bars became popular amongst enthusiasts .\nan unusually short lifespan might indicate that your athearn ancestors lived in harsh conditions . a short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family . the ssdi is a searchable database of more than 70 million names . you can find birthdates , death dates , addresses and more .\n\u00a92018 horizon hobby , llc . athearn , genesis and ready to roll are registered trademarks of horizon hobby , llc . soundtraxx and tsunami are registered trademarks of throttle up ! corp . the union pacific mark and other marks owned by union pacific are made under trademark license from union pacific rail . . .\nif not slightly off topic from the athearn history question , how does tichy and gould fit together , i recently assembly a pair of the tichy ore cars , and they had\ngould company\nstamped on the bottom . i assumed the original mold is was still being used when this kit was produced .\nvery rarely do we get to earn a living from something we are passionate about like irv athearns did . with his mindset and company he set and produced a product of respected and high quality . these standards were set and still hold true in today ' s model train industry . r . i . p irv athearn .\nmany modelers would answer to the question\nhow accurate ?\n-\nnot very .\naside from the incorrect length , the choices are somewhat limited , and athearn hasn ' t added any new variations for a long time . . for example , there are no combines ( combination baggage / passenger car ) , lounge cars , parlor cars , dormitory cars , etc . the pullman car is a 12 - 1 whereas there were many variations of the pullman interior layout . on the positive side , athearn cars are available in a wide variety of road names , come in steam era and streamline versions , are affordable , and operate on narrow radius curves .\nok , i checked the athearn website and they do call the rpo ( which i agree is an rpo - baggage combine ) a 67 ' car , and it calls all the other cars ( including the baggage car ) 70 ' cars . of course , many people say these cars are 72 ' long . . . ? ?\ni have several athearn streamliner and heavyweight passenger kits and i was just curious how accurate are they ? are they based on prototype cars or the whimsy of model railroad car designers . the heavyweight round roof cars remind me of some similar looking coaches i saw in late 1960 ' s on the c & o near bellaire or brutus michigan .\nat one time the instruction sheets were dated and on checking some of my bb kits it seems that some of athearn ' s current offerings have been around for a long time . for example i understand the rtr acf centerflow covered hopper is essentially an assembled version of the bb kit , which according to the instructions dates to 1973 or earlier .\nmain trouble is , if i set up all my athearn streamliners on my main behind my alco pa - 1 or f - m c - liner passsenger units , both a - a lash - ups , a passenger in the dome - observation could just about stick a hand out the tail end and touch the nose of the lead loco .\nthe steel baggage car was the easiest , made from the leftover halves of two athearn baggage cars - you ' ll notice that the doors are the same size . i don ' t recall where the other two halves went , but most likely to make another wood - sided car - for them , only the roof and ends were used .\nyou searched for : athearn ho train ! etsy is the home to thousands of handmade , vintage , and one -

8 - 4 pull that string of athearn heavyweights is one of my favorite sights . i suspect its because\ni built them\n, but in any case , they get used a lot .\nstreamliners - these are totally freelanced and selectively compressed for sharper curves . virtually all streamlined cars where / are 85 ' long . everyone has their own views about this aspect of the hobby but i use shorter passenger cars like athearn even though i have 36\nradius curves . remember , a 36\nradius curve in ho is a very sharp , restricted speed curve on the prototype .\nauthenticity , value and quality . they are all key to the athearn ready to roll\u00ae ho lineup , which consists of a broad selection of fully assembled diesel locomotives , rolling stock and vehicles . the ready to roll line represents the diesel - transition era to today . it features the most exciting and attractive eras of railroading . all models are ready to hit the track right out of the box .\ncondition : used , condition : really new old stock . i only put used due to me putting the railings , accessories on and upgraded to kadee couplers , only ran to test . , brand : athearn , type : locomotives u28c union pacific # 2802 , gender : boys & girls , model : u28c union pacific # 2802 diesel locomotive , mpn : 3422 , country of manufacture : united states\nthis post features a brief history of two of the major manufacturers of ho - scale model trains : athearn and model die casting ( aka roundhouse products ) . both of these manufacturers were acquired by horizon hobby in 2004 . this history was compiled from the manufacturers\u2019 own websites , old versions of manufacturer websites found at the internet archive , hoseeker . net and old magazine articles and catalogs of my own .\nathearn cars fill a niche market . that being said , they are not full length . they are intended for people who have really sharp curves ( usually less than 22\n) . they are fair in detail . i don ' t personally own any but know of several people that have them . they are not based on any particular prototype . they do roll smoothly and you can add an interior .\nintricately detailed and fully assembled models make up the athearn n scale line . from locomotives to rolling stock\ufffdand even a selection of highly detailed vehicles\ufffdthese models will make any trackside scene more realistic . they are hobby - quality items sure to provide family fun for a long time . each n scale model is packed with cool features like separately applied details and soundtraxx\u00ae tsunami\u00ae sound . many are dcc - ready with or without sound .\nthe wood - sided cars , as noted , use only the athearn roof and ends - the sides are removed , although i sometimes salvage some of the window frames , as windows in baggage cars were fairly common in my modelling era . the sides are evergreen styrene car siding , along with various sizes of styrene strip , and the doors are built - up mostly from sheet styrene . the floors and underframes are scratchbuilt , with added details from psc and new england rail service . i got a half dozen - or - so used athearn pullmans and coaches , along with two baggage cars and modified them all at the same time , so i couldn ' t say how long it took for any particular car . the cnr cars probably took the longest , as i had photos from which to work , so included some additional underbody detail :\ngenesis is the top - of - the - line athearn brand . genesis\u00ae ho - scale steam and diesel locomotives and rolling stock take model realism to the highest level . they are world - famous for highly developed features , prototypical detailing and real life sound . genesis locomotives are available with your choice of dcc - ready or dual - function dc / dcc decoder , soundboard and speaker . this level of authenticity is simply unparalleled .\nathearn introduces the hi - f belt ( rubber - band ) drive for the f7 , and the gp9 ( actually a gp7 ) and hustler locomotives . a number of plastic car kits are released including the cupola caboose , 40 ' box car , 3 - dome tank car , heavy - duty flat car , 40 ' steel refrigerator car ( with operating doors ) and the streamlined rpo , coach , vista dome and observation .\nadditionally , i too detail my athearn cars with working diaphragms from american limited , close couple them with body mounted kadee couplers on jaybee mounting pads , install intermountain wheelsets , kadee brake shoes , vestibule interior doors and / or tail gates , mail hooks on rpo ' s , ad underbody details from cal scale , lighting to some , custom paint them for my freelanced atlantic central or the roads we interchange with and they look and run great .\nthe heavy weight clearstory roof cars are quite convincing to my eye . i rode plenty of locals , commuters , and intercity passenger trains with clearstory heavyweight cars that looked a heck of lot like the athearn models . some selective compression was done to improve performance on 18 inch curves . but it isn ' t much and the result is very realistic . the round roof and streamline cars are perfectly respectable models but the clearstory heavyweights are my favorites .\nthe passenger cars are a little on short side compared to the prototype , but this doesn ' t bother me , they run on virtually any curves , no overhang , very reliable , sturdy cars . some of them come with light bulbs inside , some of the bulbs work , some don ' t out of the box . when the cars do light up , they look amazing and you can ' t beat athearn when it comes to prices . very affordable and reliable .\nin the heavyweight days , unlike later streamliners , rpo and baggage cars were usually 70 ' or less , coaches and combines were normally right around 70 ' long , though some 80 ' certainly were made . iirc the athearn rpo is 63 ' , the baggage car is 67 ' , and the coach is 70 ' or 72 ' - all quite correct for heavyweight cars . the diner , sleeper and observation cars are 80 ' cars shortened to the same length as the coach .\nthey are quite easy to use for kit bashing . in fact , i have an athearn combine , a two - unit articulated chair car , a three - unit articulated diner , a four roomette with lounge car , and a dome - observation . also , i have a couple floor sections that can be set up with chair details and maybe some siding , replicating some open - air railfan cars i ' ve seen photos of . maybe with the addition of some wire ' u ' s and northeastern hollow caboose roof .\nclose , but actually , regarding athearn heavyweights , the rpo is 67 ' and uses a unique floor . all the rest are 72 ' . the baggage and diner share a floor with no steps , the two coaches and pullman share a floor with steps at both ends and the observation has a unique floor for the open platform . the coach floor and the baggage floor will interchange with the obvious mismatch regarding the lack or presence of steps . having done many kit bashes these facts have long been ingraned in my data banks .\nthe late prof . robert g . athearn ( 1914\u20131983 ) was a professor of western history at the university of colorado at boulder from 1947 until his retirement in 1982 . an extraordinarily productive scholar , his publications included westward the briton ( 1953 ) , union pacific country ( 1971 ) the coloradans ( 1976 ) , the denver and rio grande western railroad : rebel of the rockies ( 1977 ) , the mythic west in twentieth century america ( 1986 ) , and william tecumseh sherman and the settlement of the west ( reprint 1995 ) .\nmay i add . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i got into ho right after athearn began their plastic kits . wow , they were ( are ) so cool back then . for the money , you got a reasonably detailed kit that was extremely reliable - even with the fully sprung metal trucks and nmra coupler . later on , they began using the delrin trucks and kds were a viable add on by the purchaser . that was - and still is - a terrific combination for a layout\nrunner\n.\nmodel railroading is a timeless hobby . it ' s a favorite pastime that has been shared by fathers and sons , grandparents and grandchildren , and friends young and old . everyone remembers their first train set . that ' s why for more than 60 years , we ' ve delivered a wide range of top - quality models in a variety of scales . athearn\u00ae trains share the detail , high - quality and value that appeal to all modelers . wherever you go in the hobby - from buying your first set to building your dream layout - we ' re here to help you every step of the way .\ni was mentioning how i have been building ( and bashing ) the athearn streamliners since my grade school days , when they first came out under the globe name , had cast metal dummy knuckle couplers , and the bodies had 2 sides , 2 ends , a floor , and a roof as the major parts . maybe they aren ' t 100 % prototypical , are shorter than most similar full scale streamliners ( and heavy weights ) , but look good on the 18\ncurves . in fact , they operated trouble - free on 15\ncurves on one of my early 4 ' x 6 ' layouts .\ni have 7 - 8 athearn streamlined passenger pennsy cars and i absolutely love them . they have weight ( unlike ihc ) , they don ' t wobble , they look great . the only tips i have are to replace their couplers with kadee couplers , this is an easy task and it makes all the difference . also , on some of the eastern roads like the prr and n & w , the car sets come with dome cars , which i have heard is not prototypical , so i don ' t use the dome car , instead i replace it with another regular passenger to make the train longer .\nheavyweights - these cars are also freelanced and do not directly represent any specific prototype - but they are closer to many prototypes than the streamliners for several reasons . one , pullman and other heavyweight builders used standard parts like underframes , ends , vestibule doors , and side panels to make up most cars . two , not all heavyweights where 85 ' long , in fact , take away pullman sleepers and pullman built diners , lounges and observations and you find more than half the coaches , baggage cars , combines , rpo ' s , where less than 80 ' , with many beng in the 70 ' to 75 ' range . the athearn cars are 72 ' .\nand yes , a large portion of the current athearn rtr line goes all the way back to those original plastic kits . without trying to exactly date each one , both 40 ' petrolium tank cars , 40 ' stock car , bay window and\nwestern\nstyle caboose , 40 ' and 50 ' flat cars w / trailers , boats , planes , 40 ' steel reefer , the streamlined and heavyweight passenger cars , 200 ton crane ( originally all metal ) , crane tender caboose , derrick car , pulpwood car , 40 ' quad hopper , pickle car , rotary snow plow , and the 50 ' doulbe door box car , all go back to the late 50 ' s and early 60 ' s . and have only seen the most minor changes and upgrades since their introduction .\nroundhouse has been dedicated to crafting models with the finest care since 1938 . the roundhouse\u00ae brand emphasizes the early years of steam era railroading and offers collectors quality products at a genuine value .\nmchenry offers a trusted line of quality , long -

with its harsh climate and difficult topography - was a necessary but tedious task for the canadian pacific railroad . northern ontario was a connector between central canada , the prairie provinces and british columbia . in crossing this region , a stopover point had to be located somewhere . william van horne picked the perfect spot for the division , a tiny spot he referred to as snowbank . it may just have been a c . p . r . work camp in 1885 , but by 1886 it was a modern rail town , with a deluxe station house , fine hotels , and an ice house . plans quickly were underway to create a stockyard to feed and water the livestock that regularly traveled through . once all plans were carried out , white river ' s population sky -

port elizabeth , rand - kimberley - upington\u2013keetmanshoop\u2013windhoek , cape town\u2013kimberley\u2013windhoek . flights between the major centres were also increased . during the junkers delivery period saa were short of aircraft to service all the new and proposed routes , and the three saaf envoys were converted to passenger layout and used to supplement the fleet . when junkers ju 86 aircraft were delivered all the envoys ( including the four from saa ) were returned to the saaf , the aircraft had proved unsuitable for the saa passenger and cargo services .\nthe next regional service was to lourenco marques ( maputo ) where airmail also destined for imperial flying boats was transferred . a service from rand\u2013palapye road\u2013maun ( later replaced by gobabis ) \u2013windhoek was also introduced . shortly before the war this service was extended up to luanda . saa ordered lockheed lodestar aircraft from the usa , these twin - engine airliners were delivered during the hostilities and only the survivors saw service with saa towards the end and after the war . after war broke out all saa staff and aircraft were transferred to the saaf . during the early part of the conflict some ju 52 / 3m\u2019s operated limited services around the country .\nin the period from the start of the airline to the cessation of operations at the war\u2019s beginning 118 , 822 passengers , 3 , 278 tonnes of airmail and 248 tonnes of cargo were carried ; the number of staff employed had risen to 418 .\nsix lodestar aircraft and staff were released from the saaf to operate limited services for the airline from 1 december 1944 . at the outset the schedule was limited to a daily service between rand and durban , three services a week to cape town \u2013 durban - east london - port elizabeth . two services to cape town by direct route with stops at kimberley or bloemfontein and a weekly service from johannesburg to bulawayo - salisbury .\nas more lodestars were released more services were increased . the remaining lodestars were released after the war , a total of 19 survived .\nduring the conflict new airports were planned for durban , cape town and an international airport at johannesburg . the construction of the airport at johannesburg would take several years to complete .\nthe name of the airport was to be highveld , but with field marshal montgomery performing the naming ceremony in december 1947 , it was decided to name it jan smuts airport . jan smuts airport was built on the farm witkoppies .\nthe york flights could not cope with the increased passenger demand so three skymaster flights per month were introduced to supplement the york services . the skymasters could carry 30 passengers and reduced the time to complete the journey considerably .\nfrom 1946 the airline experienced a massive growth of aircraft , passengers , cargo and staff . when more skymasters entered service the avro york\u2019s were returned to boac . air hostess were first introduced in september 1946 , at first they only flew on the internal services and were later used on the springbok service . at the end of 1946 the first of two de havilland dove aircraft entered service , these aircraft were used to operate a feeder service and for crew training . they were not suited to saa\u2019s operation and both were finally sold in the early 1950s .\nin the 1940s saa house colours were a blue cheat line over an aluminium skin , the early saa logo and a blue stripe over the fin and rudder , the airline used the motto of \u201cthe blue and silver fleet\u201d .\nin 1948 palmietfontein airport became the terminal for all saa services . in june 1948 films were introduced on saa skymaster aircraft , first on the internal and later on the springbok service . this was the first in - flight entertainment to be offered by the airline . it was not a success and was soon discontinued .\nin august 1950 the airline introduced four lockheed constellations on the springbok service , these sleek aircraft reduced the flying time to london to 28 hours . the connie , as it was affectionately known , was the first pressurised airliner to be operated by saa ; pressurisation enabled the aircraft to cruise above most of the fearsome african weather .\nthe constellation proved popular with its passengers offering a mostly smooth comfortable journey , with forty - six passengers being carried . a typical connie service operated johannesburg\u2013nairobi\u2013khartoum\u2013rome\u2013london .\nin october 1951 one of the dakotas crashed near kokstad killing all seventeen persons onboard , the aircraft was operating a service from east london to durban and crashed near the summit of ingeli mountain in low visibility .\nsouth africa was the destination of the world\u2019s first passenger jet service when a boac comet 1 landed at palmietfontein on 3 may 1952 , the journey had taken just under 24 hours to complete . although the comet had a high cruising speed it did not have a good range , time was lost on the five refuelling stops on its route . saa entered into the jet age using two chartered comets from boac ; the first service was operated from london to johannesburg on 4 october 1953 with comet g - anav . the two aircraft had dual boac\u2013saa titling and logos and were operated by saa crews .\non the same date tourist class travel was introduced using a fifty - eight seat constellation on the london route , saa operated two comet and three constellation services per week on the springbok service .\non 10 october 1954 saa comet g - alyy broke up in the air near the italian island of stromboli , the wreckage crashing into the sea killing all thirty - five persons on the aircraft . previously other comets had perished under similar circumstances . after the saa tragedy all comets were permanently grounded . investigations revealed that structural failure had caused the disasters ; the problem was remedied on later comet models .\nin 1956 saa introduced the douglas dc - 7b aircraft on the springbok service , the dc - 7b was the ultimate in pre - jet era aircraft holding the title of the fastest piston - engine airliner in the world . it also boasted a respectable range . to take advantage of the performance of the aircraft saa introduced a fast one - stop service from johannesburg\u2013khartoum\u2013london . this was known as the east coast express , the time for the trip was around 21 hours . this service was later transferred to the west coast express with a technical stop at kano , nigeria ; the best time for this run was under 18 hours .\nthe dc - 7b also inaugurated the service to australia , the fortnightly service started in november 1957 routing johannesburg\u2013mauritius\u2013cocos islands\u2013perth in western australia .\nthe internal and regional services were boosted by the introduction of vickers viscount aircraft in late november 1958 , the turbo - prop airliner soon proved extremely popular with passengers . the aircraft was fitted with large oval windows that afforded an excellent view . the turbine engines were vibration free and the aircraft was very reliable and profitable .\n1960 saw the arrival of the boeing 707 intercontinental jet aircraft , the aircraft heralded new dimensions of speed , range and comfort , accommodating over 150 passengers depending on the configuration .\non the first of october 1960 saa introduced the boeing 707 on the springbok service to the uk . this reduced the journey to an actual flying time of around 13 hours .\nthe b707 inaugurated the service to the americas in february 1969 flying from johannesburg - rio de janeiro\u2013new york .\nin 1963 most african states opposed to the previous government\u2019s policy , denied saa over - flying rights above their countries forcing the airline to fly a long detour around the bulge of west africa .\nthe 1960\u2019s saw great expansion of the airline , faster aircraft could carry more passengers further . in 1965 boeing 727 jetliners were introduced on regional and internal services , and in 1968 boeing 737 airliners were introduced to supplement the 727 fleet . by 1967 some of the old stalwart aircraft of the airline , such as the skymasters , constellations and dc - 7bs , were retired .\nduring the 1968 / 1969 financial year saa carried more than 1 million passengers .\ntragedy struck saa in the same decade , in march 1962 a dakota crashed in the katberg mountains killing two pilots , in march 1967 a viscount crashed into the sea near kayser\u2019s beach near east london killing all twenty - five souls onboard . a brand new boeing 707 crashed after taking off from windhoek in april 1968 , one hundred and twenty - three perishing in the disaster that left only five survivors . by the end of the decade the airline operated a fleet of 29 aircraft consisting of eight boeing 707s , seven boeing 727\u2019s , three boeing 737s , seven vickers viscounts and three dakotas .\nduring 1970 saa exceeded the 1 million mark for passengers carried on the domestic services . in september 1970 the last scheduled piston - engine flight was operated by a dakota aircraft , the type had been in service since 1946 , hawker siddeley 748 turbo - prop aircraft replaced the dakotas from 1970 , and the last dakota left saa in february 1971 .\nin may 1972 one of the b727 aircraft was hi - jacked on a flight from salisbury ( harare ) to johannesburg . the ordeal was finally concluded when malawi\u2019s militia opened fire on aircraft at blantyre airport , at the time the only persons onboard were the two hi -

starrer turned out to be a profitable venture for the producer , distributors and exhibitors .\nvijay ' s\ntheri\ndominated the market in the second quarter of 2016 . the makers have revealed that it has grossed over rs . 150 crore worldwide . suriya ' s\n24\ndid good business in a couple of centres .\nin the overseas centres ,\ntheri\nand\n24\nhave done fantastic business . below , find the list of top 10 grossing tamil films in the first half of 2016 :\ns saraswathi says d irector rajesh\u2019s all in all azhagu raja is an absolutely ridiculous and tortuously long romantic comedy film that seriously tests your patience .\nprabhu , saranya ponvannam , radhika apte , naren , m s bhakar , kota srinivasa rao and nassar are also in the cast .\nis set in a small town and revolves around karthi , who plays the titular role , and kalyanam ( santhanam ) , his assistant .\nraja is the managing director of a local tv channel and kalyanam is his only staff . his parents , prabhu and saranya ponvannam are eager to get him married , but raja is determined to make his tv channel a success before tying the knot .\nraja realises that getting hold of a few advertisements is the only way to salvage their floundering tv channel .\nthe proprietor of a newly opened jewelry store , played by kota srinivasa rao promises them an ad , but only if they can get a gorgeous model .\nhaving no options , raja decides to disguise kalyanam as a girl to shoot the ad . thus is born a new and utterly ridiculous avatar for santhanam as kareena chopra , a mumbai based model .\nmeanwhile , raja very predictably meets and falls in love with chitra devi priya ( kajal aggarwal ) and conveniently forgets all his dreams for his tv channel .\ndevi priya is the pampered and spoiled daughter of a rich theatre - cum - wedding hall owner , who believes that she is the next queen of melody .\nwe also have a flashback scene set in the 1980s , where we learn about prabhu\u2019s previous history with devi priya\u2019s family . karthi plays the role of the young prabhu and we have yet another character for santhanam , this time as prabhu\u2019s sidekick .\nthere seems to be an overdose of characters , two roles for karthi and three for santhanam . there is too much happening in the film . but nothing to keep you interested . santhanam\u2019s presence is inevitable in all rajesh\u2019s movies with not much change in his role or characterisation . though he does have his moments in\n, the comedy seems to be forced , many of the scenes greatly exaggerated , and his portrayal of kareena chopra , a disaster .\nkajal aggarwal has given a decent performance , but her character seems totally over the top and needs a good dose of reality .\nprabhu , saranya , naren and nassar have little to do in the film .\nm s bhakar , however , does deserve a special mention . though brief , his role as kajal\u2019s dance master is hugely entertaining .\nthe film is a mess . there is nothing to even remotely suggest that it is directed by m rajesh , who is considered the master of comedy in the tamil film industry with three back - to - back hits - -\nis a painfully long , altogether boring and surprisingly pathetic attempt by the director . a total waste of time and money .\nwhat is a r rahman doing at a dubai mall ? reader talib sends us a picture .\nclick on the menu icon of the browser , it opens up a list of options .\nhere click on the \u201cprivacy & security\u201d options listed on the left hand side of the page .\na pop up will open with all listed sites , select the option \u201callow\u201c , for the respective site under the status head to allow the notification .\nonce the changes is done , click on the \u201csave changes\u201d option to save the changes .\nsuriya , who is basking in the success of 24 , has thanked everyone responsible for making the sci -

free franchise license in the future .\nchicken delight maintains that , even if its contractual arrangements are held to constitute a tying arrangement , it was not an unreasonable restraint under the sherman act . three different bases for justification are urged .\nharvey siegel and elaine siegel , husband and wife , et al . , plaintiffs , v . chicken delight , inc . , et al . , defendants , vance e . shepherd and ben zachary , a partnership , et al . , intervening plaintiffs . chicken delight , inc . , et al . , cross - claimants , v . harvey siegel et al . , cross - defendants .\nwithout an offset for the supposed value of the chicken delight trademark , the overcharge on the tied items is established . as a matter of law therefore , the court finds the fact of damage .\nchicken delight urges us to hold that its trade - mark and franchise licenses are not items separate and distinct from the packaging , mixes , and equipment , which it says are essential components of the franchise system . 2 to treat the combined sale of all these items as a tie - in for antitrust purposes , chicken delight maintains , would be like applying the antitrust rules to the sale of a car with its tires or a left shoe with the right . therefore , concludes chicken delight , the lawfulness of the arrangement should not be measured by the rules governing tie - ins . we disagree .\nit is by no means clear that any of the parties to the tying arrangements understood that the tying items were to be given free of charge . indeed , the more reasonable reading of the contracts and of chicken delight ' s representations is that they stated simply that the contract prices for the tied items were to be the full compensation asked by chicken delight for both those items and the franchise licenses .\nchicken delight claims protection under an endorsement to the allstate policy and asserts that allstate ' s refusal to defend extended allstate ' s limit beyond the $ 15 , 000 which it contributed to the settlement .\nchicken , surimi , carrot , pumpkin , thickening agents , vitamins & minerals , taurine .\nchicken delight\u2014or more realistically its insurer , travelers\u2014was in a slightly different position . an eventual judgment against chicken delight was quite debatable . on the other hand the risk of having to pay a substantial share of such a judgment , if chicken delight were found vicariously responsible , was great . we do not have the terms of the travelers ' policy before us and therefore do not know whether that company ran the risk of having to pay , on a proration basis , almost 90 % of any judgment . it seems certain , however , that travelers would have been solely responsible for any award over $ 130 , 000 .\nwe find no merit in this contention . whatever claim chicken delight might have had to a new business defense in 1952 - a question we need not decide - the defense cannot apply to the 1963 - 70 period . to accept chicken delight ' s argument would convert the new business justification into a perpetual license to operate in restraint of trade . see id . , 187 f . supp . at 558 , 561 .\nwhat chicken delight is attempting to do is an absurdity when one reads the policy and the endorsement together . the reference to \u2018non - ownership\u2019 on the declarations page is obviously intended to refer to the employer ' s non - ownership liability endorsement , from which chicken delight gets no benefit because it is not the named insured . this , however , chicken delight would have us ignore . instead the word \u2018non - ownership\u2019 is supposed to be read into the basic policy so that where the omnibus clause therein refers to \u2018the automobile\u2019 it refers really to hutchin ' s volkswagen . this , however , does violence to the definition of \u2018automobile\u2019 in the basis policy , which\u2014for present purposes\u2014is admittedly confined to \u2018the motor vehicle . . . described in this policy . \u2019 chicken delight ' s answer to that is that the word \u2018non - ownership\u2019 describes a vehicle .\nlooks like the chicken delight in california is closed now . it ' s still on the canada website but there ' s a story elsewhere about it closing late last year for some trendy new eatery . : (\nfirst , chicken delight refers to a declaration sheet to swan ' s policy which , under the heading of \u2018description of the automobile\u2019 has the following notations : \u2018item 3 73 ford ( serial number ) , 4 non -

up food stores . it charged its franchisees no franchise fees or royalties . instead , in exchange for the license granting the franchisees the right to assume its identity and adopt its business methods and to prepare and market certain food products under its trade - mark , chicken delight required its franchisees to purchase a specified number of cookers and fryers and to purchase certain packaging supplies and mixes exclusively from chicken delight . 1 the prices fixed for these purchases were higher than , and included a percentage markup which exceeded that of , comparable products sold by competing suppliers .\n8 . state farm never claimed that chicken delight ' s initial appearance and its activities in the radakovich case before tendering the defense , were in violation of the insurance contract .

( ins . code , s 11581 . 1 . )\ntunick coated some chicken in a spicy breading and lowered it into the hot oil , cooking it in a flash and sealing the juices inside .\nkaren and others , i grew up in marin county and remember getting chicken delight delivered to our home frequently ( my mom was a great cook , but it was the 60 ' s so why bother ? ) . i wonder if there was one in san rafael or if it came over from richmond ? i loved the taste of that chicken . i can still taste it ! i ' m in boston now , so happy to know there are some in nj\nboth the appeal and the petition are interlocutory . the issues involved may become more clear after the case is completely settled in the district court . ( it may even be that chicken delight will not desire review of the district court ' s disposition at that point . ) since the district court ' s theory of damages and its refusal to allocate any of the purchase price to the tying product has been reversed , the factual background of the issue raised in the petition is already quite different from that anticipated when the petition was filed . chicken delight ' s interests can be adequately protected by an appeal at the end of the district court proceedings .\nit should be readily apparent that , measured against these tests , the package sales here in question are quite different from the sale of an automobile and its tires or a left shoe and the right . in particular , there are several factors in this case which other courts have deemed sufficient to find a tie - in . undisputed testimony at trial established that other franchisors in fast food businesses similar to that of chicken delight sold their licenses separate from the essential supplies . the various supplies sold here were sold individually and in differing amounts , rather than in a preassembled package , and the franchisees were billed accordingly . at no time were the franchises required to purchase all their various supplies from chicken delight . chicken delight did not itself manufacture the tied items . see associated press v . taft - ingalls corp . , 340 f . 2d 753 , 764 ( 6th cir . 1965 ) ; united states v . jerrold electronics corp . , supra , 187 f . supp . at 559\nhe decided to market his method through small take - out and delivery locations . it was near the end of the korean war when many women were working outside the home and had no time to cook . the slogan ' don ' t cook tonight . . . call chicken delight ' became a household phrase throughout north america ."]}

( 2014 ) , pilot study addressing issues of engagement , motivation and expectancy and was followed up with a larger study by mawjee et al . , in 2015 . an unusual study by liu et al . was published in 2015 that considered eeg data . we will review this data as well as the research and salient conceptual context that will help you to make sense of adult adhd and how cogmed might play a role with this population .\nadditionally , they argued that there were some promising studies for improvements in academic abilities but that more controlled studies were needed before we could make strong and specific claims on this topic . the recently published study : \u201cpredictor and moderators of treatment outcome in cognitive training for children with adhd\u201d by van der donk , et al . , ( 2016 ) tested those arguments empirically . drs . shinaver and entwistle will review this study with some detail along with other salient cogmed - specific data to update the empirical status of the position they argued in 2014 .\narticulating the implications of this finding is the focus of this webinar . this will include defining working memory in context of other memory functions . we will briefly distinguish this from improved attention , the second most supported effect of cogmed . we will also consider data related to the length of time these effects have been found to last . and finally we will consider possible implications of this striking finding that working memory can be improved as it relates to : the decline of working memory over the lifespan , how working memory deficits relate to a number of mental health disorders and the educational implications of working memory .\nan early study by beck , et al . 2010 of school - aged children with adhd found improved ef . yet , improvements in ef have been found with increasing regularity in more recent studies across a range of ages and presenting problems . improved ef among groups of school - aged adhd children and some with learning concerns has been found in recently published studies ( roording - ragetlie , et al . , 2016 ; bigorra , et al . , 2016 ; van der donk . , et al . , 2016 ) . au , et al . , 2014 found an improvement in organizing thoughts among school - aged children who had fragile x syndrome . foy and mann , 2014 found that preschoolers from economically disadvantaged communities who completed cogmed improved in executive control . hyer , et al . , 2016 found a lack of declining executive functioning among older adults with mild cognitive impairment as measured by self report on the functional activities questionnaire ( faq ) whereas the control group continued to decline in this area .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\npilot indicating for the 1st time that wm is plastic and can be improved .

solving skills ; increased alertness and awareness ; better concentration at work or while driving ; sharper memory for names , numbers and directions . \u201d\nthose results are achieved , the companies say , by repurposing cognitive tasks initially developed by psychologists as tests of mental abilities . with technical names like the antisaccade , the n - back and the complex working memory span task , the exercises are dressed up as games that become increasingly difficult as students gain mastery .\nconceived to appeal to adults , especially baby boomers looking to stanch the effects of aging , lumosity now draws one - quarter of its audience from students between the ages of 11 and 21 , according to michael scanlon , the company\u2019s scientific director . \u201ci was taken aback that so much of our user base is so young , \u201d he said . \u201cthe particular audience i had in mind at the earliest stages of the company was my mother . \u201d in response to requests from schoolteachers , the fee is now waived \u2014 $ 15 a month \u2014 for students in their classrooms . more than 1 , 000 teachers and 10 , 000 students have enrolled this year , mr . scanlon said .\nfor the one - on - one training at learningrx , fees are decidedly higher , from about $ 80 to $ 90 an hour in upper montclair . the students come with learning disabilities , with grades they want to improve in a competitive academic environment , all with hopes of just being sharper .\ntaylor webster , 16 , trains daily for lacrosse with a personal coach . \u201cshe has natural athletic ability , \u201d said her mother , samantha newman - webster . \u201cbut it\u2019s really through her training that she has been able to achieve to the point where she\u2019s being sought out by college recruiters . \u201d would brain training , the family wondered , do for her grades what physical training did for her lacrosse game ?\nms . newman - webster enrolled taylor , already a b student at the private montclair kimberley academy , at learningrx in february . \u201ci felt like i wanted to do whatever i could to make her learning easier , faster , deeper , \u201d she said . \u201ci knew she was going to be taking the sats , and they say it will improve whatever you\u2019re trying to do . \u201d\nspeaking by cellphone on the way to a lacrosse game , taylor explained , with a laugh , what it\u2019s like : \u201cin the beginning your head is sore . honestly , i had headaches after going there the first few times . it was kind of tedious and made my brain hurt . but i started getting better and better at it . it kind of became a competition for me to do better each time . \u201d\nshe\u2019s now studying for the sat . \u201cit used to take me an hour to memorize 20 words . now i can learn , like , 40 new words in 20 minutes . \u201d\nothers \u2014 a majority , according to learningrx \u2014 seek cognitive training in the hopes of remediating a learning disability .\nof his brain training , he said , \u201ci don\u2019t know if it makes you smarter . but when you get to each new level on the math and reading tasks , it definitely builds up your self -

grade teacher in nearby fair lawn . \u201cyes , i think it\u2019s made a change in nick . his grades are better . if it gives him a leg up on life , you can\u2019t put a price on that . \u201d in september , after six months , nick and his parents decided he had made enough progress to stop his medication .\nfor all the glowing testimonials , there are postings to be found online from parents of children with learning disabilities , complaining about substantial fees and minimal benefit .\nwhether the results last beyond the blush of training \u2014 indeed , whether i . q . can truly be bolstered in a meaningful way \u2014 are questions on which serious scientists still disagree . studies have been published in recent years finding that intelligence can be improved through training , but not enough of them are of sufficient scientific quality to convince everyone in the field .\nnick vecchiarello , 16 , of glen ridge , n . j . , finds the patterns in a learningrx exercise .\none skeptic is douglas k . detterman , professor of psychology at case western reserve university and founding editor of the influential academic journal intelligence . his research would seem to offer reassurance to college - bound brain trainees , because he has found a close correlation between i . q . and sat scores . \u201call of these tests are pretty much the same thing , \u201d he said . \u201cthey measure general intelligence . \u201d\nthe catch , however , is that dr . detterman believes that cognitive training only makes people better at taking tests , without improving their underlying intelligence . dr . detterman said of brain training , \u201cit\u2019s probably not harmful . but i would tell parents : save your money . look at the studies the commercial services have done to support their results . you\u2019ll find very poorly done studies , with no control groups and all kinds of problems . \u201d\nexecutives at traditional tutoring and test - prep services tend to share dr . detterman\u2019s view \u2014 perhaps not surprisingly , because some of the brain training programs pitch themselves in direct contrast to standard tutoring . ( \u201cbrain training vs . tutoring , \u201d says the headline of a learningrx brochure . \u201cis tutoring what your child really needs ? \u201d ) bror saxberg , chief learning officer of kaplan inc . , questions whether improving performance on an intelligence test will translate directly to improved grades and test scores .\nstill , a new and growing body of scientific evidence indicates that cognitive training can be effective , including that offered by commercial services .\nhe\u2019s now conducting a follow - up study of college students in texas and , he said , sees even stronger gains when the training is offered one on one .\nmichael merzenich , who spent years conducting brain plasticity research in animals as a professor at the university of california , san francisco , started posit science to make the results of his research more widely available . \u201cthis is medicine , \u201d he insisted . \u201cit is driving changes in the brain . \u201d\n\u201ci entered this work with some skepticism that just doing some computer work at home could help anybody , \u201d she said . \u201ci thought we wouldn\u2019t be able to move the needle on their cognitive abilities . and not everybody has been able to make gains . but i\u2019ve had some kids who not only reported that they had very big changes in the classroom , but when we bring them back in the laboratory to do neuropsychological testing , we also see great changes . they show increases that would be highly unlikely to happen just by chance . \u201d\n\u201cwe got positive results , but it was a very small study , \u201d she said . it involved just 26 children . even so , she said : \u201cin general , i\u2019m cautiously optimistic about the potential for cognitive training . i\u2019m concerned that some of the studies out there have not had the rigor that ought to be there . but i think the potential is there . \u201d\nat lumosity\u2019s headquarters on the sixth floor of a rehabbed building in downtown san francisco , bicycles line a wall , the meeting room has foosball , and the intensely focused young employees tap at their computers in a sprawling room without cubicles . it could be mistaken for a satellite office of google . except , oh , wait a minute , that guy who won the american crossword puzzle tournament five times in a row ? he actually quit google last year to work here .\n\u201ci looked around for a place that would get me closer to the kinds of games and puzzles i enjoy , \u201d said tyler hinman , who is now a software developer and game designer at lumosity . \u201cbut where crosswords and sudoku are intended to be a diversion , the games here give that same kind of reward , only they\u2019re designed to improve your brain , your memory , your problem - solving skills . \u201d\nnot all the exercises offered by the commercial services carry the scientific pedigree of the n - back . some offered by learningrx exude an undeniable whiff of the theatrical , like having trainers shout and clap to help students learn to ignore distractions .\n\u201clargely my focus was on visual training , \u201d dr . gibson said . treating children with problems involving focusing or eye movement , he developed an interest in dyslexia and other learning disorders . \u201ci realized i could help those who had eyes crossed , but i wasn\u2019t helping very much with their academic performance , \u201d he said . \u201ci started reading the literature about training abilities of every skill , not just visual , but auditory and memory and speed of processing . \u201d\ndr . gibson is self - taught in the field of psychology ; his confidence in his program , he said , comes from the gains students make on i . q . tests . trainers and franchise owners must be college graduates but need not have expertise \u2014 beyond the training given to them by learningrx . ms . duch and ms . maia , the montclair trainers , have b . a . \u2019s in psychology .\n\u201cthis has been a process since 1986 , \u201d dr . gibson said . \u201cwe have so systematized the program that the educational background of the trainers and franchise owners is not an issue . i don\u2019t come from the perspective of an academic . we\u2019re not part of duke university or harvard . we have to get results to justify the fees that we charge and get referrals . \u201d\nback at the franchise in upper montclair , nathan veloric is trying to do his \u201cspeed numbers\u201d exercise just a bit faster , in 45 seconds rather than 50 , still without missing a single pair of numbers that add up to nine . four times in a row he goes down a list , each time missing just one of the pairs .\n\u201co . k . , try it again , \u201d says ms . duch . \u201ci know you\u2019re getting tired . just give me two more tries . \u201d and again she starts the timer .\ndan hurley is a neuroscience reporter writing a book on new research into intelligence .\nwe\u2019re interested in your feedback on this page . tell us what you think ."]}

press .\nthis chapter argues that authors of irish romantic novels and national tales , such as maria edgeworth and john and michael banim , are not only concerned with the extent to which their novels sought to copy from irish culture but are also worried about the slightness of the novel form in relation to the copiousness of that culture . such concerns led to attempts by thomas crofton croker and others to add texture and tactility to their depictions of the irish past , through antiquarian methodologies but also facsimiles , lithography , and other developments in print culture . the chapter demonstrates the ways in which irish literary texts were concerned not only to accurately and minutely detail the past , but also to adduce evidence of such historical and cultural authenticity , working against teleological accounts of the birth of the modern historical method , which see romantic history as unconcerned with the evidentiary foundations of the past .\nthis

finally know where my story is going and i\u2019m quite excited about that . i swear i\u2019ll write a review soon , and do other normal posts , but for now , it\u2019s tags !\ni was tagged for this by aralyn . thank you so much ! she actually started this tag , and it\u2019s a very cool tag which i cannot wait to begin !\nlet\u2019s take a moment to appreciate how easy and low - pressure these rules are ! i\u2019m going to go ahead and use her questions because i happen to think she\u2019s better at creating questions than she gives herself credit for .\nthe more i thought about this , the more favourites i remembered . my mother used to read me freckle juice and little house on the prairie . i loved anne of green gables , the secret garden , black beauty , hoot , and little women . i loved bridge to terabithia , holes , treasure island , and sarah , plain and tall . i loved reading about mischievous little girls like me , so i adored ramona and junie b . jones . i adored ( and read almost all of ) the babysitter\u2019s club books . i loved historical fiction from a very young age ( all those little house books , i expect ) and discovered the dear america series and the royal diaries series by the time they were a bit below my reading level . i liked them for that reason , however , because it meant i could devour them in an afternoon . i may have read all of them ; i certainly read every one i could hunt down .\nhmm , that\u2019s a good question . i think it was mostly just the books mentioned above . i don\u2019t know if there was a specific one that i could definitively say got me nto loving reading . i just loved reading . always .\ni don\u2019t think so , because i always liked a variety of genres . i just have never really been tied to any particular genre .\ni think every book i\u2019ve read does ? even books i\u2019ve almost forgotten about\u2014i\u2019ll see a book in a bookstore and all the memories of it will come flooding back to me . books\u2014good ones , anyway\u2014really stick with you . so if i started listing all the ones i felt special about , we would be here all night .\nheh well usually i\u2019m writing blog posts at my desk , where my bookshelf is right behind me , but this weekend i\u2019m hanging with some sweet pups while their owners are out of town .\ni also talked about my history as a reader in this post and this post , if you\u2019re interested in knowing more for some reason .\ni feel the same way about the condition of my books . i\u2019d rather get the most out of a reading experience by annotating and highlighting then try to keep all of my books pristine . where\u2019s the fun in that ? \ud83d\ude42\ni like this tag . i also can\u2019t think of any one book or series that started my love of reading . i\u2019ve always loved reading .\nah , i\u2019m so glad you did it ! love the answers , too ! especially the love of books for what kind of bookworm you are . and your first question\u2019s answer gave me a good idea for another question i thought would fit well\u2026 i may have to add it to mine\u2026 * mumbles * you read quite a few books in your childhood ! i remember read anne of green gables , but it wasn\u2019t one of my favorites . i have a terrible memory x )\nhaha , well i\u2019m a bit of a rebel . plus i just think if i was an author and saw someone\u2019s copy of my book and they had written in it and read the heck out of it , i would be really , really touched . so i don\u2019t feel like i\u2019m disrespecting the book , i feel like i\u2019m getting the most out of it . but everyone feels differently about it and guess what ? if you own it , it\u2019s yours ! if you want to keep it pristine that is 100 % ok . \ud83d\ude42\nenter your email address to follow

( that\u2019s two haunted places on this list , if you\u2019re keeping track , and yes , i totally plan to spend a night there one day . )\nby day , jackson square and the place d\u2019armes is a popular shopping and entertainment attraction in the heart of the french quarter . but by night , it\u2019s overrun with dozens of stray cats that congregate behind the iron bars in the square . seriously . it\u2019s like a kitty convention center . italian writer italo calvino described the feline occupants of jackson square in his story , \u201c the garden of stubborn cats , \u201d saying \u201cthere were striped cats , black cats , white cats , spotted cats , tabbies , angoras , persians , family cats and stray cats , perfumed cats and stinky cats . marcovaldo understood that he finally reached the heart of the kingdom of cats , their secret island . \u201d\nsadly , i did not see any cats when we walked by , but if you read the comments from other nighttime tourists , it sounds like the cats really do make frequent appearances in the square . i\u2019ll just have to plan another visit and wait for the kitties to come out .\nwhen i first signed up to write this article , my first thought was \u201ci totally have to stalk anne rice\u2019s house . \u201d i\u2019ve only read the first two books in the vampire chronicles , but to me , anne rice is the living embodiment of new orleans . her house even made its way into the witching hour , the first book in the mayfair witches trilogy \u2013 address and all !\nanne rice doesn\u2019t live in the house anymore , so to the average pedestrian , it just looks like another stately historic home in the garden district , save for a bronze plaque on the front gate with her name . there aren\u2019t any tours inside the house , so i only got to look at it from behind the iron fence . but with the gorgeous columns and massive moss - covered trees in the front yard , i almost felt like i could see lestat peering out from one of the second story windows . and the fact that she doesn\u2019t live there anymore made me feel less guilty about fan - girling in full view of the street with my mouth agape .\njust a few blocks away from the rice house is lafayette cemetery no . 1 , one of new orleans\u2019 most famous above - ground cemeteries . and not surprisingly , the cemetery has ties to anne rice . she supposedly used one of its most famous tombs , the jefferson fire company # 22 tomb , as inspiration for the tomb of the mayfair witches , and one of the cast iron tombs was apparently used to create lestat\u2019s tomb in the film version of interview with the vampire . anne rice even staged her own mock funeral in the lafayette cemetery to promote the release of her novel , memnoch the devil .\nwhen i actually visited the cemetery , it started to pour the moment my friend and i stepped out of the car , so we knew our visit was going to be cut short . the cemetery is absolutely huge \u2013 about the size of a square city block \u2013 and we could easily have spent hours exploring the pathways and marveling at the creepy history in front of us , but it started to storm in earnest and we hightailed it back to the car in a hurry lest we be turned into human lightning rods .\nthere is so much literary history to appreciate in this city , and i know i haven\u2019t even begun to scratch the surface of what new orleans has to offer . all this means , though , is that i have to start planning my next visit asap , and this time , i\u2019ll make sure to carve out enough time to wait for the kitties in jackson square .\nwe have a $ 250 barnes & noble gift card to give away !

51 . the current sukhoi company grew from this organization .\nafter the war , sukhoi and his team were among the first soviet aircraft designers who led the work on jet aircraft , creating several experimental jet fighters . sukhoi started developing two jet fighters , the sukhoi su - 5 and the sukhoi su - 7 before 1945 . the su - 5 is a mixed power jet fighter , using both a propellor and a motorjet to power it , but the experiment was later cancelled even though the fighter had a maiden flight in april 6 , 1945 . the su - 7 is a swept - wing , supersonic , air superiority fighter , and it was successful as it was adopted by the soviet air forces in 1959 , which was over 14 years later . at the start of 1945 , the design bureau started working on jet fighters such as the sukhoi su -

of - the - art electronics , forward - swept wings , and thrust vector control . with the s - 37 , sukhoi is competing with the mig company to provide russia ' s fifth generation advanced fighter aircraft . the russian military , however , has expressed little interest in the proposal . sukhoi is also developing , again in competition with the mig firm , the lightweight su - 54 fighter , an aircraft comparable to the u . s . joint strike fighter .\n* pavel osipovich sukhoi started out his work in aircraft design in the experimental design bureau ( okb in its russian acronym ) run by the prominent andrei n . tupolev . after the german invasion of the ussr in the summer of 1941 , sukhoi obtained his own okb , but none of the aircraft designed by his organization entered large -

generation fighter effort , which would lead to the mig 1 . 44 , the sukhoi okb was allowed to continue investigations in parallel . the s - 22 design had proved unworkable , and in the absence of a requirement was a nonstarter anyway , so sukhoi engineers went on to a derivative fsw naval fighter , the\ns -

35 joint strike fighter , for introduction to service from 2010 . a group of russian industries led by sukhoi and another group led by the mikoyan and yakovlev organizations competed for the pak - fa contract ; in late april 2002 , the russian government announced that the sukhoi group had won the award for its\nt - 50\ndesign .\ni have to admit that when i first saw the su - 47 , i was scratching my head and wondered what the sukhoi engineers were thinking when they proposed this design . but i had similar reactions when the boeing x -

37 has made more than 120 flights . but many questions remain .\nsukhoi enjoyed great export success with the su - 27 in the 1990s , and this helped to advance work on the su - 47 . mikoyan was in less favorable financial shape during this time , which explains the delay in getting the 1 . 44 ready .\n` ` the available experience of military - technical cooperation between russia and india is a good basis for going beyond the buyer - seller deals to more sophisticated forces of military - technical cooperation , including the transfer of production licences , ' ' the sukhoi spokesman said .\n* the reason the t - 49 never flew again was because interest had once again moved on , this time to a design effort that would actually lead to a production weapon system . in the early 1960s , the sukhoi okb seemed to be falling out of favor , with fighters and interceptors from the mikoyan and yakovlev okbs increasingly preferred by the red air force and pvo . in order to get back on the leading edge , the sukhoi okb began work on an advanced supersonic interceptor , with the okb reporting name of\nt -

bombers all based on the very agile and powerful su - 27 air superiority fighter . these include such models as the su - 33 aircraft carrier - based air defense fighter and the thrust - vectoring su - 37 , a fighter and ground - attack aircraft . the general director of the sukhoi design bureau and the sukhoi aviation military - industrial complex , mikhail pogosyan , is proud of his company ' s success . but looking to the future , he sees the need to build a fifth -

up of production . there are 17 serial aircraft in production , 5 of which are at the final assembly shop , \u201d said scac\u2019s president vladimir prisyazhnyuk .\nthe design bureau designed and built a series of new supersonic jet fighters including the su - 7 and su - 9 in the 1950s and 1960s . these two aircraft were extensively modified over the years and used in vast numbers by the soviet air force and other communist countries . like a number of other aviation designers , sukhoi embraced the concept of evolutionary development rather than large technological leaps in aircraft design . for example , sukhoi improved the original su - 9 delta - winged series into the su - 11 and su - 15 fighter - interceptor series for service with the soviet air defense forces . he also modified the su - 7b ground - attack aircraft into the su - 17 variable - geometry aircraft by introducing small modifications to the original design . sukhoi ' s aircraft symbolized the general trend of soviet aircraft design that used common components and standardization that allowed soviet plants to produce large numbers of aircraft very quickly .\ncontacts : sukhoi company ( jsc ) archived 2011 -

37 , the sukhoi okb investigated a next - generation air - superiority fighter , focusing on a\nforward swept wing ( fsw )\ndesign originally designated the\ns - 22\n. the fsw configuration was known to provide advantages in aerodynamic efficiency , handling , and maneuverability ; it had never seen much use , however , because it imposed too much on the wings , meaning they would have to be heavily reinforced , raising weight and eliminating the advantage of the scheme . the availability of composite materials suggested to sukhoi engineers that it had finally become practical to build an fsw fighter .\nat the same time , sukhoi did try to experiment with some radical innovations . one of his most famous creations was the t - 4 , a highly advanced supersonic ( mach 3 ) strike / reconnaissance aircraft , proposed as a response to the american b - 70 blackbird . in designing the aircraft , sukhoi pioneered the use of new compact avionics systems and titanium structures . although the aircraft flew successfully several times beginning in 1972 , the soviet air force never used it due to shifting requirements and its high expense . a full - scale model now remains in an aviation museum outside of moscow , a sad reminder of a forgotten era .\n* although the jury is clearly still out on the sukhoi su - 57 and will be for some time , i have to personally observe that i like its looks . stealthy aircraft tend to have smoothly curved lines , which tends to give them a bland appearance ; i find the su -

7 would become the base aircraft from which sukhoi would develop the su - 17 , su - 20 and su - 22 strike aircraft which collectively formed the backbone of warsaw pact tactical air strike forces for over three decades . under the nato code naming system , this family of aircraft would bear the name \u201cfitter\u201d .\nthe su - 30sm is manufactured by sukhoi design bureau mainly for russia\u2019s air force . it is an advanced model of the su - 30mk combat aircraft series . in addition to kazakhstan and russia , the armed forces of algeria , india , indonesia , malaysia , uganda , venezuela and vietnam utilise aircraft of su - 30mk series .\neight prototypes were produced up to mid - 2017 , the initial two lacking most operational kit . due to economic and technical problems , the su - 57 program has slipped out , with fielding not expected before 2020 ; in the meantime , the sukhoi su - 30sm and su - 35s are plugging the gap in vvs service .\nokay , the towels probably aren\u2019t going to happen , but the airplane is a significant new offering , one the company says has been a long time coming . after all , athletic teams routinely charter aircraft for their players to move about more efficiently and privately , and sukhoi wants a piece of the $ 600 million team transport market .\nafter the ussr collapsed and russia embarked on economic\nreforms\nits defence budget shrank dramatically for a decade and new procurement was very difficult . but after 1999 - 2000 , gradually funding increased and when the need for a 5th gen aircraft became again apparent , the pak fa ( sukhoi t - 50 ) project began , around 2005 .\n@ jwenting it was the direct product of the sukhoi entry to the ussr 5th gen fighter competition . perhaps it was closer to the final design than the 1 . 44 mig was . notice the presence of internal weapon bays for example - something quite telling . . but it certainly did end up being just that - an experimental aircraft .\nas reported by russian media outlets , in an interview with ekho moskvy radio station , vladislav goncharenko , deputy head of the military aviation programmes department at uac ( the a russian holding which encompasses irkut , mikoyan , sukhoi , ilyushin , tupolev , beriev and yakovlev ) , moscow has surpassed the u . s . in the number of produced combat aircraft .\nthe su - 15 led to the sukhoi okb obtaining a bit of revenge on the rival yakovlev design bureau . the su - 15 was a clear step ahead of the yak - 28p and in an attempt to keep with the sukhoi okb , the yakovlev okb developed a derivative of the yak - 28p , the\nyak - 28 - 64\n, with a configuration like that of the su - 15 - - with twin engines in the fuselage and intakes on the sides of the fuselage , though the yak machine had swept wings instead of delta wings . a few trial flights showed the performance of the yak - 28 - 64 was inferior even to the yak - 28 , and the program was swiftly abandoned .\nsukhoi is planning to offer the ssj 100 for the indian market which has a large growth potential for civil aircraft . it is being pitched as a product offering the comfort and economy of a narrow bodied aircraft with the range of a regional jet . company officials said india along with china , middle east and latin america , is one of the priority markets .\nin september 1939 , the soviet government appointed sukhoi to head a new organization named the experimental design bureau no . 134 ( okb - 134 ) at a plant in the city of kharkov in ukraine . ( the russians called their aeronautics companies\ndesign bureaus .\n) there , he designed the su - 6 ground - attack aircraft . although he produced several excellent designs during the 1930s and 1940s , he was never able to achieve success due to a combination of testing accidents , political opposition , and stalin ' s personal whims . after the war , stalin assigned him and several other major soviet designers\u0097such as mikoyan , lavochkin , and yakovlev \u0097to build the first generation of soviet jet fighters . sukhoi used the german me 262 and modified it to build his own su - 9 fighter . the soviet air force never used the aircraft , partly because stalin criticized sukhoi for simply copying an old german aircraft instead of proposing an original russian design . ironically , it was at the very same time that stalin had ordered tupolev to make an exact copy of the american b - 29 superfortress .\nnine years prior to the creation of the bureau , pavel sukhoi , a soviet russian aerospace engineer , took over team no . 4 of the cahi ' s agos aviation , flying boat aviation and aircraft prototype engineering facility , in october 1930 . under sukhoi ' s leadership , the team of the future design bureau started to take shape . the team , under the tupolev okb , produced experimental fighters such as the i - 3 , i - 14 , and the dip , a record - breaking rd aircraft , the tupolev ant - 25 , flew by famous soviet aviators , valery chkalov and mikhail gromov , and the long - range bombers such as the tupolev tb - 1 and the tupolev tb - 3 . [ 4 ]\nthailand prime minister prayuth chan - ocha took part in the in - service ceremony for two sukhoi business jets ( sbj ) held at the royal thai air force base in don mueang , bangkok . participation of the prime minister makes a huge contribution to the development of the russian - thai relations in the sphere of aviation and strengthens the basis for future co - operation .\none example of that is the 100 - seat multirole jet that moretti wanted to develop at atr . but he departed without having persuaded airbus \u2013 leonardo\u2019s 50 percent partner in atr \u2013 to support that ambition . moretti also reaffirmed support for the joint venture with sukhoi on the superjet 100 , although he refused to join a russian government bailout of the troubled project in 2015 .\nlike many of his contemporaries such as sergey korolev , chief designer of the soviet space program , sukhoi served his apprenticeship under the famous andrey tupolev , the patriarch of the modern soviet aviation industry . in the 1920s and 1930s , as a senior engineer working for tupolev at tsagi ( the central aero - hydrodynamics institute ) , the premiere soviet aeronautics organization , sukhoi designed several bombers and fighters . he also worked on a number of tupolev designs including the ant - 31 ( i - 14 ) , which was the first soviet all - metal low - wing monoplane fighter with retractable undercarriage and an enclosed cockpit . his first truly independent design was the ant - 51 ( su - 2 ) , a ground - attack aircraft that entered service in 1940 .\nbangkok , thailand , august , 31st 2016 , \u2013 sukhoi business jets ( sbj ) have entered service with the royal thai air force ( rtaf ) . the two aircraft were delivered in july 2016 to provide vip transportation to thailand top officials and governmental leaders , as well as to the high command of thailand . the sbjs are the first business jets acquired by an overseas customer .\nafter the end of the conflict , the sukhoi okb developed a twin - engine jet fighter , the\nsu - 9\n, with a broad resemblance to the german messerschmitt me 262 fighter , but neither the su - 9 nor its slightly improved derivative , the\nsu - 11\n, entered production . the okb then developed a prototype of a jet twin - engine swept - wing interceptor , the\nsu - 15\n, which was notable for being in competition for the title of the ugliest jet combat aircraft ever built . it was lost in a flight accident on 3 june 1949 . given the poor track record of the sukhoi okb , the loss of the su - 15 was the straw that broke the camel ' s back : the organization was disbanded ."]}

( moreover , the writer recently learned that agilent eesof eda has continued to flourish , and in 2009 agilent eesof revenues were approximately $ 120 million and the division ' s worldwide employment surpasses 400 ) .\nthings were going well at eesof , and in december 1987 , the company celebrated its first $ 1 million revenue month .\neesof\nproducts such as touchstone , libra , and omnisys brought comparable power and ease of use to the pc platform .\nas the detailed narrative of the 27 - year eesof evolution began to emerge , it soon became clear that accurate reporting would demand more than one issue of the eda weekly . the writer and the eesof team quickly recognized the historical cues that led to the following structure :\nthere were many other eesof - hp skirmishes with words and ads during the 1988 to 1993 period that went beyond mere product specs . some were relevant , others were not . for example , a few eesof folks at the time would occasionally challenge hp ' s ultimate commitment to stay in the commercial rf / mw software market .\ni think we put all questions to bed about our commitment when hp acquired eesof ,\nagilent eesof eda describes itself these days as ,\nthe leading supplier of electronic design automation ( eda ) software for high - frequency and high - speed system , circuit , and modeling applications .\nwhile agilent eesof ' s financials have not been routinely published separately from those of the overall agilent electronic measurement group in which agilent eesof resides , the eda industry generally acknowledges agilent eesof ' s market leadership position in annual revenue generation in its radio frequency ( rf ) niche ( e . g . estimates are as high as 67 % market share in 2009 ) .\nprior to founding eesof , abronson was the president of amplica , a microwave amplifier company located in thousand oaks , ca . after amplica was purchased by comsat , abronson formed eesof and immediately hired childs from comsat to manage eesof ' s r & d ; efforts and to introduce a cad methodology . abronson and childs quickly hit upon the innovative value of offering personal design software to a market previously dominated by more expensive , server - based solutions .\neesof often ran ads that always showed food on top of a computer in a covert but successful effort to promote obesity and chair stains in the industry .\nlibra . \u201d this writer has been told on solid authority , that the technology behind libra was developed completely within eesof . some external reports have implied that libra came from the hp funded work that ken kundert and other hp employees commercialized from uc berkeley . this implication is patently untrue , say eesof veterans .\nplott told the writer . \u201cand today , seventeen years later , agilent eesof remains uniquely committed and out - invests any other vendor in this space . \u201d\npart ii : a future eda weekly article on eesof will encompass the ( a ) post - merger years from1994 until the agilent technologies ' spin - out from hewlett packard and subsequent ipo in 1999 , as well as ( b ) the post spin - out years of rapid agilent eesof expansion from 2000 to 2010 .\nrandy rhea in the mid 1980\u2019s , eagleware developed its niche serving smaller companies with a cost - effective , easy - to - use , circuit simulation and synthesis tool set . this part of the story will be more relevant in eda weekly part ii of the agilent eesof narrative , because eagleware would eventually join the agilent eesof team via acquisition . in fact , the former eagleware ceo ,\ncharles plott ( product marketing & planning manager ) . this initial session was the first of several subsequent get - togethers over two elapsed weeks as the structure of the narrative of agilent eesof took shape .\nomnisys , the first rf system - level simulator using block diagrams . for years , this was a competitive technical advantage for eesof . hp eventually introduced a system model library in mds to better balance the battlefield .\nkeysight technologies ( eesof eda ) is a set of designer tools for high - frequency system , circuit and modeling applications . under special agreement between keysight technologies and cmc , the following products are available to university clients :\nin 1993 , hewlett - packard acquired eesof ( short for electrical engineering software ) , inc . , in westlake village , california , a recognized leader in eda software on the pc platform . beginning with the touchstone linear simulator in 1983 and adding libra , omnisys , and academy ( for layout ) , eesof had focused on the rapidly expanding personal computer ( pc ) platform and on making eda tools available to every rf and microwave engineer .\nmany new competitive fronts between eesof and hp emerged during this 5 - year period . it was a time during which both organizations were independently focused in a commercial battle for mindshare among the world ' s rf / mw designers .\nthe period from 1993 onward was a substantial growth period for the hp eesof organization , with multiple technology innovations , acquisitions , partnerships , and expansions into new markets . these will be the subjects of part ii in this series .\npc vs . unix : eesof clearly had the better pc offering , whereas the hp software was developed predominately for unix . that said , at the time hp had the advantage of being a supplier of both the software and the workstation .\nkeysight eeda has been training engineers for many years and has perfected the process . a combination of lectures and labs provides hands - on practical experience in an accelerated learning environment . for more information , refer to keysight eesof eda customer education and services .\nwestlake village , california , usa - keysight eda continues the strong tradition of user - interface and circuit and simulation advances that were begun by eesof , inc . located in southern california , westlake village is about 45 miles ( 70 km ) northwest of los angeles .\njake egbert , now retired , was the gm on the hp side and he led the combined entity for the next seven years . post hp acquisition , chuck abronson didn ' t stay long at eesof , but bill childs helped during the critical transition period for about a year .\nsonnet ( and the current , combined agilent eesof eda organization still does ) . but both vendors also decided that it was strategically important to develop their own respective in - house technologies that could be natively integrated into their own platforms . hp had a first - to - market advantage with its\nagilent eesof eda provides its customers a broad spectrum of eda software , including applications for microwave ( mw ) , radio frequency ( rf ) , high - frequency , high - speed , rf system , electronic system level ( esl ) , circuit , 3 - d electromagnetic , physical design and device - modeling .\namong the hp internally developed software tools of that era was hp ' s own highly capable netlist - driven linear simulator ( named \u2018mantis\u2019 within hp ) . there was also a short period wherein hp began to oem the touchstone product from eesof , but this business arrangement didn\u2019t last long , given what was on the hp horizon .\nas part of their university educational support program , keysight offers students and instructors access to licenses for many of their electronic engineering software ( eesof ) , including ads , systemvue , genesys , ic - cap , empro , and goldengate . use of the software is for educational purposes only , and not for commercial gain or research .\none of my first assignments at eesof in 1984 was to develop the industry ' s first interface from a circuit simulator to the recently introduced 8510 network analyzer from hewlett packard ,\nlarry lerner said .\nthis early experiment validated a critical design and verification methodology that has improved how rf engineers do their work to this day .\nplott . \u201ceven today , in some of the markets we serve , we have smaller competitors that try to lure agilent eesof eda back to the pre - 1993 competitively - focused culture . we\u2019re not going back . as long as we stay focused on innovating solutions to our customers\u2019 tough problems , competition seems to work itself out in the long run ,\nplott asserted .\nchuck abronson first called the executive leadership of hp , to explore hp\u2019s willingness to sell off its software group . however , internal to hp , this software group had not only become strategic to hp\u2019s overall portfolio , but also it was growing rapidly \u2013 so there was understandably not a lot of hp interest in abronson ' s overture . that\u2019s when the conversation turned to the reverse possibility of hp acquiring eesof .\nkeysight eesof eda is the leading supplier of electronic design automation ( eda ) software for communications product design . microwave and rf circuit , high - speed , device modeling , and signal - processing design engineers accelerate the development of better products using design flows built on our device modeling , electro - thermal , electromagnetic , circuit and system design and simulation tools . keysight eda applications support the commercial wireless , aerospace and defense industries .\nadvanced design system ( ads ) is the flagship product from keysight eesof eda , the technology and innovation leader in high - frequency , mixed - signal electronic design automation ( eda ) . it is the only design simulation platform that enables the co - design of ic , package and board in high - frequency and hi - speed applications . ads seamlessly integrates system , circuit , and full 3d electromagnetic simulation with keysight\u2019s test instrumentation to perform single pass successful electronic designs repeatedly .\nthe immediate aftermath of the merger became an interesting time for the newly - combined business . for years eesof and hp had been essentially focused on each other and the cultures at both companies had been predominately competitive . with the merger in 1993 , the mood is said to have instantly changed .\nthis marked a period where we had to make a fundamental alteration in our organization . without each other to focus on , we shifted much more attention to our customers ' successes ,\nsaid\nmeanwhile during the 1980s , some other folks were working on applying maxwell ' s equations to solve arbitrary two and three dimensional geometries . sonnet was among the first of these software products . james rautio started sonnet in his home in 1983 , while designing mmics for general electric in syracuse , jumping ship in 1988 and making his first sale the following year . sonnet is still privately held , unlike super compact , eesof , or eagleware . learn more about the early days of sonnet here on their web site .\nelectromagnetic professional ( empro ) is keysight eesof eda ' s electromagnetic ( em ) simulation software design platform for analyzing the 3d em effects of components such as high -

very nerdy ! ! ) . when series 4 came it was hard to get used to but we used it ( altghough i seemed to remember many did not make the switch and kept the older versions ) - microwave engineers getting angry at sw - now there ' s a sight . we had eagleware also but used it for the filter synthesis tool now i use awr at work but i am evaluating ads - ads is the best ! ! ! ! love it ( and i have used ansoft also ) ! ! ! ! still learning lots and still enjoy circuit design even after 20 years . 30 of 31 found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ? ( report this review as inappropriate )\ncomsat could read the writing on the wall and eventually offered super - compact - pc , a version of which could run on an ibm pc . they added their own layout tool , auto - art . however , supercompact pc was a\nchopped - up\nversion of the large mainframe program , while touchstone was written for the pc architecture , taking advantage of the new operating system , and the decade - long leadership of compact software was successfully challenged by eesof . after comsat lost interest in cad , compact software again became a private company , owned by ulrich rohde . it was located across the street from his other microwave enterprise , synergy microwave , in beautiful patterson nj , birthplace of funnyman lou costello .\ncompact was bought out by comsat in 1980 , and les besser was associated with it for three more years only . during that time a third - generation version , supercompact was released that became the industry standard . while the compact software group was fat , dumb and happy , a revolution started in the early 1980s , due to the ibm personal computer . even with its incredibly limited memory and low speed , some visionaries recognized that microwave design would some day be done on this type of platform . two specific groups of visionaries included some california dudes from\nthe valley\n, who chose the name eesof , and some guys located at stone mountain georgia ( near dogpatch ) , who chose the really cool name circuit busters ( who ya gonna call ? )\ni can add a little background to the touchstone story . i worked at amplica during the period of time when eesof was formed . our president chuck a . had sold the company to comsat the year before i joined ; comsat had also bought compact software the year before that . one of the comsat engineers that had worked with the compact part of the business ( bill childs ) was transferred to amplica to help develop our amplifier designs . it was bill who authored touchstone . he would carry a compaq portable pc back and forth to work every day ( it looked like a sewing machine in its case ) , and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the platform he developed much of the code on . chuck was the money and business man , he made no technical contributions to the program .\nto analyze circuits using touchstone , you had to have two display screens for your pc , one for handling the netlist and the other for displaying results . one huge innovation they are credited with is the ability to\ntune\nthe circuit and watch the response move . touchstone required a hardware key on the printer port to keep track of the license , making it portable as well . by 1987 eesof ' s touchstone was linked with a crude layout tool ( micad ) , and a version of spice . another cool program they offered was anacat , which allowed you to control a hewlett packard 8510 network analyzer or the equivalent wiltron ana from a pc , and be able to sort data in an acceptable format for reading into touchstone . by this time the guys at compact must have soiled themselves with fear for their jobs .\neesof was a well financed enterprise from the beginning , the brainchild of chuck abronson and a former compact employee , bill childs . their first product was called touchstone , introduced in 1983 . we don ' t think the name was an acronym . to the user , it seemed like they had ripped off the entire compact netlist interface , but behind that they had created an entirely new engine ( another hardware term unfortunately ripped off by geeks ) . it must have been very efficient , because it ran fast enough on an ibm - at pc so that it wasn ' t too annoying ( no doubt you had to spring for the math coprocessor on the pc ) . it also could run on h - p minicomputers . this quickly got a lot of attention from engineers who were sick of mainframes , where they generally had to play second fiddles to accounting and data processing departments .\npeoples republic of eda cafe ? february 06 , 2010 reviewed by ' chairman mao ' i can only guess that my review will not be posted . . . or not for very long anyways . . . . what is wrong with this website ? it seems that if anyone has a different viewpoint from the author they get their opinions deleted . this is why john cooley is the best source of information on eda tools at deepchip . com . he is the only one that allows users to strike back when eda companies and pr people try to make lies about eda tools . i cannot believe such a story about eesof . i use other eda tools in japan , but it is not a competitor . . . yet this story seems like a fable not a true perspective . anyway . . . i will not waste time writing my opinion anymore since the editors just delete what they do not like . 28 of 47 found this review helpful . was this review helpful to you ?

( bob ) coats , one of the first cad tool for microwave circuits , cain - 01 , was developed about 1971 for use by designers at texas instruments . cain - 01 was available on an ibm 360 computer and accessed using punched cards . it was never marketed by the corporation . here we quote bob ' s historical perspective on this achievement :\ncain - 01 stands for\ncomputer aided integrated networks version 1\n. in july 1973 i published a paper in the july issue of the mtt transactions of the ieee . i used the software on the work described , and referenced an article by its designers . the authors were t . w . houston , l . w . dyer , and g . j . policky . the paper was entitled\ncomputer - aided design of microwave integrated circuits\nand it was published in the august 1969 ieee wescon convention record . the software was developed initially in support of the first phased array development program at texas instruments ( the mera program ) . the software was widely used by microwave circuit designers at ti for many years .\nfor a while in the 80 ' s i had a program called\ncadec\nthat ran on a hp 9845 desktop . it was stored on a hp - 200 tape cassette and did ok with passive circuits . it relied mostly on abcd parameters and z / y matrix analysis ( like in low frequency ac circuit analysis with matrices ) . the cool part was it came in rocky mountain basic and you could go in and change anything , add new circuit elements , and mess around with display options . at the time martin marietta was strongly opposed to pc ' s due to a very entrenched computer department , and we would order hp computers as\ninstrument controllers\nso we could get some free computing power . i may still have a manual around .\nfor most of us , in the beginning , there was compact . the acronym stands for\ncomputer optimization of microwave passive and active circuits\n. introduced in 1973 , it was the only commercially - available microwave circuit optimization software product available during the disco years ( in - house programs at general electric and texas instruments were capable of analysis without optimization , see above ) . during the hippy epoch and for all times before , microwave design was done using a smith chart and a pencil and even the simplest designs took many months to develop . les besser was the originator of the compact program , and appears in our microwave hall of fame for laying the groundwork for microwave cad industry . les is a hungarian - canadian - american . born and raised in hungary , he escaped to the west in 1956 , became a canadian citizen in 1961 , later moved to the u . s . a . and was naturalized to usa citizenship in 2000 . welcome aboard !\nles besser submitted a description of his compact computer program to the ieee circuit theory transaction for publication in 1972 , but they rejected it , perhaps because it didn ' t contain enough fancy equations . . . below les besser fills us on this chapter of microwave history in an email to microwaves101 dated september 1 , 2004 :\nthe article you mentioned was initially rejected by the ieee circuit theory ( now circuits and systems ) group . i felt quite bad at first , until i found out that phil smith ' s original article on the smith chart was also rejected with\nno practical contribution\ncomment . after rewriting the compact article ( removing most of the explanations and adding lots of complex matrix equations ) it was published .\nthe 201 mclean boulevard patterson location on route 20 near the river is and was a nice location and compact was in a fancy building . no need to shoot at patterson\nwhen i bought the company from comsat , both the main frame version and the pc version where unstable and models such as t - junctions , crosses and others fairly inaccurate at higher frequencies . becoming a partner in the darpa mimic program , and mostly financed from earnings rather the darpa money , these things were changed by developing em - based models , and verified by raytheon and texas instruments .\nn - dimensional nodal noise analysis for all types of both linear and nonlinear circuits , including oscillators , mixers and amplifiers under large signal conditions .\nem - based models with extremely short computational time replacing lookup tables and curve fittings . the multi - coupled line model by itself is a full em - based simulator with extreme accuracy .\nthe first complete nodal - based harmonic balance simulator with the most stable convergence for multi - tone analysis , and still the leading approach in the industry . this is important for mixers ( 3 - tones ) and n - stage designs where more harmonics are generated .\ncomplete nonlinear microwave nonlinear models , much improved over the spice - type models , and new important models such as gaas , hbt ( even physics based ) and others became available .\na new yield analysis capability was added and other improvements in optimization ( nonlinear optimization ) were made . as an important example , oscillators can be optimized for best phase .\nthere were a large number of other enhancements made and utility programs added . after the merger with ansoft , the harmonica program became ansoft designer .\nulrich l . rohde , phd , ex - president compact software , chairman of synergy microwave company .\ndid we mention that ulrich was on the ansoft board of directors in 2004 ? ulrich had a few other comments but they they sounded too much like free advertising for ansoft so we cropped them out . one part of the original compact , smith tool , is rumored to exist in an ansoft program even today .\nat one time , there was a version of compact that could be run as a module on the hp41 programmable calculator , so you could take your designs to the\nreading room\n. thanks to dave , who still has a copy !\nwe need to add some history here , but for now we ' ll just copy some stuff we grabbed from the ansoft web site . ansoft was founded in pittsburgh pennsylvania in 1984 by dr . zoltan cendes . at some point they merged with supercompact .\nattention intel and other politically correct companies . . . the word\nbastard\nis not a\nswear word\n, it means illegitimate . did you know that bastards are a fast growing demographic in the good ' ol diverse usa ? just ask your kids or grandkids how many of their little friends have parents that never married . maybe someday the ieee will form an interest group called\nmicrowave transactions from bastards\n, or mtb for short !\nin case you are looking for mr . abronson , he ' s now chairman of cap wireless .\ncircuit busters ( what ' s with all the capital letters that were used in the 1980s ? ) , was founded in 1985 , by a filter designer randy rhea . while his team was at the task of developing a competing product for linear analysis , they put together some filter synthesis software . the first product was called star and you could buy it from a little ad in the back pages of trade mags for $ 99 ( and they took visa and mastercard , another brilliant move not anticipated by compact ) , delivered on a 5 . 5 inch floppy disc . this was truly an unheard of price , probably less than the square - root of what compact was selling for . we asked randy about this , and he recalled that he had to rethink the original price , considering the limited market . circuit - busters\nsecond generation\nproduct was called super - star and was marketed at $ 595 less than two years later .\nsince circuit busters was a garage shop , they didn ' t get around to putting a key on the software until future versions . either they had some financial help from their in - laws , or they didn ' t quit their day jobs for a few years . below is the earliest advertisement we could turn up for circuit busters ( mw & rf january 1987 ) , featuring an earnest - looking and young randy rhea ( nice tie ! ) , who personally guarantees his software . the unknown editor liked the price , and still has a copy of super star 1 . 0 somewhere under a pile of other priceless artifacts !\nwhat happened to circuit busters ? they renamed the company eagleware in 1991 , and they are a huge success ( ask any of their well -

arrow was typically depicted in elegant and fashionable settings . some advertisements featured the car in places an automobile would not normally go , such as the west and other rural settings , a testament to car ' s ruggedness and quality .\nhile the pierce - arrow became one of the most prestigious automobiles made , the beginnings of pierce - arrow were humble . at the time of the civil war , george pierce began his career in manufacturing household items , including ice - boxes , birdcages , and bathtubs . after being associated with several companies , he formed his own company , the george n . pierce company , in 1878 . at first , the new company followed the product line of earlier companies . as the bicycle craze hit the country in the late nineteenth century , pierce found that the experience gained making wire products , like their bird cages , easily transferred to the manufacture of bicycles . high quality standards and an attractive price made pierce cycles highly desired .\npackard motor car company bought studebaker corporation in 1954 and formed studebaker - packard corporation . the resulting company had a hard time competing with general motors , ford and chrysler , and from 1954 to 1958 , studebaker - packard didn\u2019t turn a profit . the 1957 and 1958 packards were actually studebakers with special interiors and trim , and packards were discontinued in 1958 .\nan example of the lavish d\u00e9cor in pierce -

arrow was established in 1865 as heinz , pierce and munschauer . the company was best known for its household items , and especially its delicate , gilded birdcages . in 1872 , george n . pierce bought out the other two , switching the name to george n . pierce company and in 1896 , bicycles were added to the product range . a failed attempt to build a steam - powered car was made in 1900 with license from overman , but by 1901 pierce built its first single - cylinder two - speed ( no reverse ) moterette with the engine licensed from de dion . in 1904 , a two cylinder was made named the arrow .\npierce -

arrow was also involved in the war effort , sending hundreds of trucks from its commercial line to england and france .\nin 1914 , pierce - arrow adopted its most enduring styling hallmark when the headlights of the vehicle were moved from the traditional placement to either side of the radiator into flared housings molded into the front fenders of the car . this gave the car an immediate visual identification from the side ; at night it gave the car the appearance of a wider stance . pierce trademarked this placement and it remained in place until the final model in 1938 . hence it is only beginning with the 1939 model year that other american car manufacturers put the headlights in the fenders . through 1914 pierce - arrow also produced a line of motorcycles .\nin the 1870\u2019s , the george n . pierce company produced common household items such as ice chests and birdcages . pierce used his expertise in metal cage work to transition into the transportation field by manufacturing bicycles .\npierce -

arrow . more stylized archers were used on pierce - arrows through 1938 .\nthe original company was founded in 1865 as heinz , pierce and munschauer . their products were household items such as iceboxes and birdcages . in 1872 pierce bought out the other two and named the firm the george n . pierce company . bicycles were added to the line in 1896 . in 1900 an attempt was made to build a steam car . that effort failed , but in 1901 they came out with the single cylinder motorette . they made a two -

arrow , became president in 1910 , a post he held for six years . pierce died in 1910 .\nin 1928 , the company was put up for sale as a result of weak sales in the 1920s . the south bend , indiana automobile company studebaker acquired a controlling interest in pierce - arrow . studebaker president alfred r . erskine had hoped that adding the prestigious product to its lineup would allow studebaker to compete with the likes of packard and cadillac for a portion of the luxury car market . under studebaker\u2019s ownership , pierce maintained virtual autonomy over its product and product development . approaching bankruptcy in 1933 , studebaker sold out their interest in pierce - arrow to a group of buffalo businessmen .\n- - while world war i was raging in europe , the pierce - arrow line matured into a lineup of three models that would define the pierce - arrow line for a decade . the top of the line was the enormous model 66 with an 825 cubic inch engine . pierce -

arrow manufactured its own line of travelodge trailers , complete with gas stoves , ice chests , water tanks and dining areas . 450 travelodge trailers were produced , but the company continued to falter and filed for bankruptcy in 1938 .\nten years later , while speaking to a dealer conference at the factory , herbert m . dawley , one of the important influences on the pierce - arrow cast aluminum body , remarked that\nthe cast aluminum body is a thing that is distinct and unique in the pierce - arrow factory . it is the one thing that has been developed that you will not find in other cars .\nat the time he spoke these words dawley knew the pierce - arrow car occupied the very summit of prestige in the luxury car market , seen in enclaves of social prominence and the loci of great financial and governmental power that included the white house itself . the company\ufffds earlier decision seemed quite justified .\nunderestimating the impact of the great depression , studebaker president albert erskine inadvertently led the corporation into receivership in 1933 . paul hoffman and harold vance ultimately rescued the company , but much of studebaker\u2019s momentum had been lost . studebaker introduced another small car , the rockne , in 1932 , but dropped it again in 1933 . for the 1934 model year , studebaker launched several advanced body designs , including the fastback land cruiser , a car styled after the famous pierce -

arrow dropped their six - cylinder engine and introduced a straight - eight engine . the 1929 pierce - arrows were long , low , and very successful : nearly 10 , 000 cars were sold .\nthe completed body was then mounted on the chassis of the car . this so - called\ncomposite\nbody was the standard method used to construct car bodies for the next thirty years . pierce rejected this solution for more than a decade .\nin 1928 , pierce - arrow was bought by studebaker . this resulted in a number of engineering and design alterations . studebaker invested money in research and new developments at the buffalo factory , but investments did not result in sales . studebaker went bankrupt in 1933 , and sold pierce - arrow to buffalo management .\nwith studebaker ' s south bend complex working around the clock , erskine also saw the production of trucks as one way to better utilize pierce - arrow ' s underused facilities , and get the company into the heavy truck market , a segment that studebaker was not involved with . to accomplished this spa truck company ( studebaker - pirece - arrow ) was formed to build high - quality trucks , which began rolling off the assembly line in 1929 . erskine also moved to start talks with white motor company of cleveland , ohio , which he hoped would complement spa ' s product . talks with white failed in early 1933 , and the spa venture was terminated when studebaker filed for receivership in march , 1933 .\nin 1928 , another chassis was added to the truck line . the fleet arrow wagon , model fa , used a modified series 81 passenger car engine . mounted on a 140 , 160 , or 180 inch wheelbase , the fleet arrow was primarily intended for inner -

arrow ceased in 1929 after slightly over 500 were made .\nthe pierce - arrow was a status symbol , owned by many hollywood stars , corporate tycoons ; royalty of many foreign nations had at least one pierce - arrow in their collections . in american luxury cars it was rivaled only by the peerless and packard , which collectively received the accolade three p ' s of motordom . industrial efficiency expert frank bunker gilbreth ( cheaper by the dozen ) extolled the virtues of pierce - arrow , in both quality and in its ability to safely transport his large family .\nthe company abandoned the six cylinder engine in favor of a straight eight cylinder used by its competitors . the new pierce - arrows sat lower to the ground and were considerably longer than the previous models . the new roadsters , touring cars and sedans proved to be a success in the years leading up to the depression . however , when the economy collapsed , the auto industry was hit especially hard , specifically luxury lines like pierce - arrow . this led to drastic price drops and pierce - arrow struggled to sell vehicles .\nof all the great american marques - - stutz , lincoln , duesenberg , packard , and the rest - - none was more synonymous with meticulous craftsmanship and refined luxury than the noble pierce -

arrow in the early thirties would be enough to secure pierce - arrow a page in automotive history . however , just as impressive as the eight and twelve cylinder engines was the pierce silver arrow . original built for the 1933 new york automobile show , the cars were also a hit at the 1933 century of progress exposition in chicago . the cars features streamlined styling that included an all - steel top , and side mounted spare tires concealed in compartments in the front fenders .\nas demand for improved bicycles grew , pierce met high demands and industry innovation with the introduction of bicycle advancements such as the cushion frame and coaster brake . the george n . pierce company built a 75 , 000 square foot factory on hanover and prime streets on buffalo\u2019s waterfront at canalside . in 1901 , the company produced its first , one single - cylinder automobile and also had a bicycle display at the pan - american exposition . the company continued manufacturing bicycles and motorcycles at this location until 1915 .\nduring the first half of 1934 , the company ' s working capital was depleted by losses resulting chiefly from a tool and die maker ' s strike which made it impossible for the company to complete its 1934 models until after the peak selling season had passed . working capital was also depleted as a result of the disruption of the company ' s selling organization brought about by the dissolution of corporate relations with studebaker , and also by a generally unfavorable public reception of pierce - arrow ' s new lower - priced model .\nthe pierce - arrow was a luxury automobile and as such it was a status symbol that tended to be owned by presidents , royalty , business tycoons , and hollywood stars . the pierce -

looking reptilian species , the crocodile . these two animals are , however , different in many ways . while the crocodile has a long , v - shaped snout , the alligator has a shorter , much more rounded snout . crocodiles have special salivary glands that excrete salt , making it easier for them to tolerate salt -

between friends and enemies , between mothers and daughters - were so powerfully played out , that i am genuinely jealous of every person who has not read it yet . i read a copy borrowed from my brother , but i will go out and buy my own now - so you know my love must be real ! miss treadway and the field and stars was chosen as the book club ' s july read and stands , so far , as the most disputed amongst the book club ' s members . our monday evening group did not enjoy it whilst our tuesday afternoon group did , and our tuesday evening group spent an hour arguing about it ! in it ' s defence , i thought the book was very clear about what it wanted to say , and what ' s it ' s themes were ( even if it wasn ' t so clear on it ' s characters and it ' s plot ) . it ' s a novel about an idea more than , i think , people or a narrative : performance , in terms of identity and race , was a constant and relentless presence and that i found that quite interesting . most novels that i have come across are approached the opposite way around and you have to dig below the story you are being told , and the complex characters you are presented with , to find a theme or message behind it all -

- a number of observers began forecasting that the company ' s sales could reach as high as $ 10 billion before the end of the decade . yet gemplus , which saw 70 percent of its sales generated from the telecommunications market , and especially the market for mobile telephones , crashed headlong into the global telecoms slump in 2001 . the company ' s sales began dropping , a trend worsened by the slowdown in mobile telephone purchases in an increasingly saturated market . gemplus ' s concentration on growth , rather than developing mature corporate practices , during its first decade now came to haunt it , as its profits - - and share price - - fell .\nby 1995 , gemplus had produced more than half a million phone cards and more than 120 million mobile phone sim cards , establishing itself as a clear leader in the bustling smart card market . in that year , gemplus backed up its organic growth with its first acquisition , of the u . s . and european smart card production and personalization facilities of datacard corporation . the following year , the company set up a joint venture in tianjin , china , where it launched production of telephone cards , as well as a new production plant in mexico . in the meantime , the company had taken on a new financial backer , in the form of germany ' s quandt family , which acquired a significant stake in gemplus in 1994 .\nif you are looking for gemplus product support , try the technical support site and / or the search engine ( top right of this screen ) . to contact the webmaster , please use the contact form and specify\nweb site problems\nas the topic .\nby the beginning of 2004 , the tide appeared to be turning for gemplus , as the company reported a return to quarterly profits . sales , which had dropped down to below eur 750 million in 2003 , also were showing signs of renewed growth as the telecommunications sector , and the high technology market in general , began to rebound . despite its difficulties at the beginning of the decade , gemplus had managed to hold onto its global leadership position , and promised to remain a leading smart card player in the new century .\ngemplus ' s sales gained strongly at the end of the decade , rising from eur 583 million in 1998 to nearly eur 670 million in 1999 - - and topping the eur 1 billion mark by 2000 . aiding the company ' s expansion was its acquisition of euritis , which provided smart card security systems and software , and the opening of gemplus ' s production plant in singapore , both in 1999 . the company also announced strategic partnerships that year with microsoft and dell to build smart card readers and software into computer systems .\nthe u . s . market proved slower to accept the new technology , although the company had established an office in washington , d . c . in 1989 . in 1991 , however , the company managed to sign on the state of wyoming , which turned to gemplus for the production of its wyo healthcare cards . nonetheless , gemplus ' s growth in the united states was hampered by the slow growth of the country ' s mobile telephone sector and the banking industry ' s reluctance to switch from magnetic strip - based credit card technology .\nmandl helped lead gemplus through a restructuring , which dropped its worldwide headcount by more than 2 , 000 employees by the end of 2003 . the company won a number of important contracts that year as well , including the supply of 15 million smart cards to halifax bank of scotland , and ten million sim cards for china unicom . gemplus also received certification that year to provide smart cards for the scosta national driving license and vehicle registration program in india , opening the company to that vast potential of the more than one - billion - strong population .\ngemplus found its first customer by the end of 1988 , when france telecom placed an order for one million microchip - embedded telephone cards . the use of the cards , which contained a fixed value encoded in the chip , enabled france telecom to begin eliminating coin - based - - and theft - prone - - public telephones . the company then set up its first plant to manufacture the card , opening in gemenos , near marseilles . gemplus already displayed confidence in its future , building a plant capable of producing ten times the amount of the france telecom order .\ngemplus began to take off in the 1990s , as sales grew from the equivalent of just $ 89 million in 1992 to more than $ 300 million by 1995 . the company supported its growth by opening new sales offices in italy , the united kingdom , germany , and italy by 1992 , adding new sales offices in spain and in chile and argentina in 1993 , then entering canada , japan , australia , china , and venezuela in 1994 . by 1996 , the company had added sales offices in hong kong , brazil , russia , and poland , among other markets . gemplus also opened its first production facility outside of france , in filderstadt , germany , in 1992 .\ngemplus signed up a new major customer in 1989 , when sky tv contracted the company to produce smart cards for its set top - based pay - television system . that contract also helped demonstrate the flexibility of the new technology . the following year , another major customer signed on , as deutsche telekom placed an order for 16 million smart cards .\ngemplus entered a period of revolving - door ceos , going through four chief executives over as many years . the company ' s difficulties led main shareholder texas pacific into direct conflict with marc lassus . when the quandt family sided with texas pacific , lassus was finally forced to sell off his shareholding in the company and resign from its board of directors in 2002 . texas pacific was then free to bring in its choice for chief executive , the american alex mandl . that appointment led to accusations that the company was attempting to shift its focus of operations to the united states , and was even accompanied by allegations of corporate espionage . in the meantime , gemplus sales continued to collapse , dropping back to less than eur 790 million - - with net losses of more than eur 320 million .\nthe integration planning project office will be led by myself , as i will be responsible in the future for the overall gemalto integration . the project office will consist , in the first phase , of project managers marc gemeto of gemplus and eric martinetti of axalto , they will co - ordinate all activities in the respective companies . the integration planning project will be supported by one or more external consultants .\nmarc lassus stepped down as gemplus ' s ceo in 1997 , taking on the chairman ' s role , and concentrating his own efforts on targeting new acquisitions , such as the purchase of austria ' s skidata in 1997 . the company opened a new research and development facility for the north american market , in montreal , that year , ahead of the transfer of its it headquarters to silicon valley , specifically redwood city , california , in 1998 .\nthe texas pacific investment enabled gemplus to go on a brief acquisition spree , in part for the company to make the transition from a reliance on smart card manufacturing to the development of new smart card technology , software , and related systems . the company bought up celocom , which provided electronic transaction security systems ; slp infoware , a software specialist ; and ods landys & gyr , which had been the smart card operations of landys & gyr communications .\ngemplus has merged with axalto to create gemalto : a world leader in digital security . gemalto provides extensive services and innovative new products to help our customers offer unrivalled security and convenience in the digital world while their end - users : > connect to wireless networks ; > make payments on - line and in shops ; > travel with new generation e - passports ; > identify themselves as citizens and employees ; > enter secure premises or connect to secured networks .\nthe european market greeted the emergence of the smart card enthusiastically , and gemplus began signing up more and more customers , with a wider array of applications . one example of the flexibility of the new technology was provided by the company ' s contract with british gas in 1991 for a smart card for use with the utility ' s gas meters . the company also signed on its first bank customers , cilme and moneta / cariplo in italy , and fisc in taiwan , which were followed by the award of a license to produce bank cards for the french banking system in 1992 .\nthe company ' s relationship with both france telecom and deutsche telekom placed it in a strong position for its next major development - - that of winning the order to produce the sim ( subscriber identity module ) for the newly agreed - upon , european - wide gsm mobile telephone protocol . the company became the sim supplier for the mobile telephone networks in france , denmark , norway , finland , and sweden . in support of those contracts , gemplus built a new production facility , in la ciotat , france , which provided the company with clean room technology for the production of the sim modules . that plant opened in 1991 .\nthe first proposals for the creation of\nsmart cards\n- - that is , credit cards embedded with microchips that could be programmed for use in a variety of applications - - appeared in the early 1980s , and a number of companies began developing their own version of the cards . gemplus founder marc lassus became one of the early proponents of the new technology . lassus , who had earned his phd in solid - state physics at lyons university , had been working at motorola in the early 1980s when france ' s bull approached that company about the idea of developing a smart card . later in the 1980s , lassus joined thomson microelectronics , then still controlled by the french government .\nfor inquiries related to this message please contact support . for sales inquiries , please visit urltoken\nif you believe this to be in error , please confirm below that you are not a robot by clicking\ni ' m not a robot\nbelow .\nplease make sure your browser supports javascript and cookies and that you are not blocking them from loading . for more information you can review the terms of service and cookie policy .\nour mission is to be the leading , innovative , and trusted enabler of solutions for secured identification , transactions and communication for the benefit of our customers , stakeholders and billions of individual users .\nthe company receives a contract to produce sim cards for gsm mobile telephone protocol .\nthe company builds a new plant in france featuring clean room technology for sim production .\nthe company opens a production facility in germany , its first outside of france .\nthe company opens a new plant in mexico ; a joint venture is formed in china to produce telephone cards .\nthe company acquires euritis , a specialist in smart card security systems and software .\ntexas pacific becomes a major shareholder with a $ 500 million investment ; the company acquires ods landys & gyr , slp infoware , and celocom ; the company goes public on the paris and nasdaq exchanges .\nmarc lassus is forced to resign from the board of directors ; the company begins restructuring , shedding more than 2 , 000 jobs .\nlassus became the manager of thomson ' s integrated circuits division , where he led a team of engineers in the development of a new smart card design . yet thomson ' s management remained skeptical about the potential of the smart card , and after an outside consultant hired to look into the feasibility of the project proclaimed that there was no future in the technology , the project was shelved .\nprincipal competitors : schlumbergersema sa ; axalto ; giesecke & devrient gmbh ; oberthur card systems .\ndealing a smartcard to swipe the board ,\nfinancial times , october 7 , 1999 p . 10 .\nalex j . mandl president and chief executive officer 46a , avenue j . f . kennedy l -

' s son john l . kellogg , who began working for the company in its earliest days . j . l . kellogg developed a malting process to give the corn flakes a more nut - like flavor , saved $ 250 , 000 a year by switching from a waxed paper wrapper on the outside of the box to a waxed paper liner inside , and invented all - bran by adding a malt flavoring to the bran cereal . his father credited him with more than 200 patents and trademarks .\nat that point the battle creek plant had 15 acres of floor space , production capacity of 30 , 000 cases a day , and a shipping capacity of 50 railcars a day . each day it converted 15 , 000 bushels of white southern corn into corn flakes . the company had 20 branch offices and employed as many as 400 salesmen . during the next decade the kellogg company more than doubled the floor space at its battle creek factory and opened another overseas plant in sydney , australia , in 1924 .\nin 1930 w . k . kellogg established the w . k . kellogg foundation to support agricultural , health , and educational institutions . kellogg eventually gave the foundation his majority interest in kellogg company . the company , under w . k . ' s control , also did its part to fight unemployment , hiring a crew to landscape a ten - acre park on the battle creek plant grounds and introducing a six - hour , four - shift day .\nthe company continued adding new cereals , aiming some at adolescent baby boomers and others , like special k and product 19 , at their parents . kellogg ' s corn flakes still led the cereal market and got more advertising support than any other cereal on grocers ' shelves . kellogg poured nearly $ 10 million into corn flakes advertising in both 1964 and 1965 , putting more than two - thirds of those dollars into television .\nthe biggest threat to kellogg ' s continued growth wasn ' t criticism , but rather the aging of its market . by the end of the 1970s growth slowed dramatically as the baby boom generation passed from the under - 25 age group , which consumes an average of 11 pounds of cereal a year , to the 25 to 50 age group , which eats less than half as much cereal . cereal - market growth dropped , and kellogg lost the most . its market share fell from 43 percent in 1972 to 37 percent in 1983 .\nin 1984 kellogg bought about 20 percent of its own stock back from the w . k . kellogg foundation , a move that increased profits and helped defend the company against future takeover attempts , while satisfying a legal requirement limiting the holdings of foundations without giving potential raiders access to the stock .\nby the mid - 1980s the results of kellogg ' s renewed assault on the cereal market were mixed . the company ' s hopes of raising per capita cereal consumption to 12 pounds by 1985 fell flat . but kellogg did regain much of its lost market share , claiming 40 percent in 1985 , and it continued to outperform itself year after year . in 1986 kellogg posted its 30th consecutive dividend increase , its 35th consecutive earnings increase , and its 42nd consecutive sales increase .\nin order to hold on to as much of its market share as it could , kellogg management once again turned to increased marketing and advertising in 1990 . even in the face of the pressure from lower - priced private - label products , the company also continued to raise its prices in the early 1990s to generate sufficient revenue . this trend was finally reversed in 1994 , however , when general mills lowered its prices , forcing kellogg to do the same .\nin the midst of these difficulties , lamothe retired in 1992 and was replaced as chairman and ceo by the president of kellogg , arnold g . langbo . under langbo ' s direction , the company underwent a reengineering effort in 1993 that committed the company to concentrate its efforts on its core business of breakfast cereal . that year and the next , kellogg divested itself of such noncore assets as its mrs . smith ' s frozen foods pie business , cereal packaging , ltd . , based in england , and its argentine snack food business .\nalthough kellogg had a commanding position internationally , it faced a new and more formidable international competitor starting in 1989 . general mills and the swiss food titan nestl\u00e9 s . a . established a joint venture called cereal partners worldwide ( cpw ) , which essentially combined general mills ' cereal brands and cereal - making equipment with nestl\u00e9 ' s name recognition in numerous markets and vast experience with retailers there . by 1994 , cpw was already beginning to eat into kellogg ' s market share in various countries .\nin an effort to reduce costs and create a more focused and accountable workforce , about 25 percent of its north american workforce was let go and steps were taken toward the reorganization of the corporate structure . as a result , several top officers left in 1998 and 1999 . in april 1999 , cuban - born and 25 - year veteran of the company carlos m . gutierrez became ceo . gutierrez ' s vision for kellogg was\nto begin a process of renewal designed to strengthen significantly the ability of the kellogg company to compete and prosper in the 21st century .\nhis new team included eight new top executives , including four who joined the company in 1999 and 2000 .\nbrown , gerald , j . b . keegan , and k . wood vigus ,\nthe kellogg company optimizes production , inventory , and distribution ,\nenglewood cliffs , n . j . : prentice -

' '\nthe big difference is that today ' s young people actually want to show off their intelligence , not hide it . this is a generation of ` ` matrix ' ' - style computer hackers , not beer - swilling ` ` risky business ' ' partyers .\n` ` being smart is cooler now , ' ' said knights . ` ` the cube is an underground way to be smart . it ' s dorky , but it ' s cool to be dorky . ' '\nand , increasingly , it ' s becoming cool to own a cube again . sales have been on the rise for years . in 2002 , 500 , 000 cubes were sold , up from 350 , 000 in 2001 , and the cube ' s us sellers say they expect sales to top 700 , 000 this year .\nthe early 1980s , a time overshadowed by political tension with the former soviet union , created a perfect atmosphere for an individualistic toy like the cube , he said . ` ` the nice thing about the puzzle is that it could be solved when so many other things could not be so easily or quickly accomplished . when your daily life is not so certain , it ' s nice to come home and get a feeling of accomplishment by solving it . ' '\nthe cube plays into the hands of people seeking a pastime or hobby offering a ritualistic sense of ` ` flow , ' ' said emily kearns , an emerson college sociologist who studies rituals and play .\nlike crossword puzzles , video games , or even solitary sports such as biking or rock - climbing , the cube puts users in a trancelike meditative state in which worries fall away , she said .\n` ` we can free ourselves and find inner joy and a sense of possibility , ' ' kearns said . ` ` there ' s the feeling , it ' s just me and the game . ' '\nof course , not everyone finds serenity with the cube . some easily frustrated people might get the urge to hurl it against a wall . but those people can reenter society simply by putting down the cube , kearns said .\nthe man who helped invent the 1999 smash toy hit furby says the most important factor in understanding the cube ' s enduring appeal is nostalgia . richard levy , also the author of ` ` the toy and game inventor ' s handbook , ' ' said rubik ' s cube has gone from mass - market craze to marginalized cult toy and has reemerged in the 21st century as a classic plaything .\nconsumers are embracing the ` ` brand equity ' ' of classic board games such as monopoly , clue , and life , as well as the card game uno . many of today ' s toy buyers grew up in the ' 70s and ' 80s and are now 30 - and 40 - somethings buying toys for their own kids .\n` ` when mom and dad go into a toy store , they think , ` i had one of [ those ] . ' the toy ' s story is told immediately , ' ' said levy .\ntoys such as my little pony and the care bears are back , as are the action heroes teenage mutant ninja turtles , levy said . the board game trivial pursuit , released a year after the cube hit it big in the united states , came out with a 20th - anniversary edition . that version was the best - selling game in 2002 , orbanes said .\n` ` the rubik ' s brand is popular in the hearts and minds of people , ' ' he said . ` ` of course , it ' s also a reminder to people that life may have a lot of frustration , but you can twist and turn your way out of it .

' ' it was too formidable an environment . ' ' mr . orbanes ' s company is branching out into other products .\nmilton bradley and parker brothers , both divisions of hasbro , still produce best - selling board games , according to mr . orbanes , who is the author of ' ' the monopoly companion ' ' ( adams media ) . but they stick to such classics as monopoly or pictionary - - games that people already know how to play .\nmr . orbanes offers a grim forecast for board game inventors . but the example of richard c . levy , a successful toy and games inventor in bethesda , md . , suggests a silver lining .\nmr . levy recently received a patent , no . d406 , 614 , to protect the design of the board for his game based on the best - selling book ' ' men are from mars , women are from venus ' ' ( harpercollins ) . mr . levy created the game for cardinal industries . it is based on the best - selling book by john gray , and the game - - which has the same title as the book - - has begun to show up on toy store shelves .\nthese days , mr . levy says , it ' s all about ' ' branding ' ' - - linking up your game with a well - known book or product . he has created board games based on ' ' chicken soup for the soul ' ' ( health communications ) as well as uncle milton ' s ant farm .\nwhat other advice does mr . levy have ? first , don ' t spend a lot of money to patent something until you know you have a truly novel and marketable product . even then , unless the game has a singular electronic or mechanical aspect , often trademark and copyright are more important - - and cheaper to obtain .\nsecond , try to license it . ' ' self - publishing is absolute suicide , ' ' mr . levy said . ' ' more than 99 percent of the people i know who make the games themselves still have them in their basement . ' '\nmost big companies do not take submissions directly from independent inventors . the manhattan - based toy manufacturers of america ( www . toy - tma . org ) has a list of toy and games agents who , much like literary agents , take a cut of any future royalties as their fee . ( toy agents are not to be confused with invention submission companies , which are reviled by mr . levy as being ' ' carrion birds circling the skies for unsuspecting inventors .

' ' that usually means some kind of electronic enhancement , ' ' he said .\nbut even mr . levy ' s games , while successful , are unlikely to have an enduring shelf life . according to jonathan becker , a toy agent in new york , hasbro introduced 24 games in 1996 . only two of those were still around in 1997 . and none of them were on the market in 1998 .\ncontrary to mr . levy ' s advice , the self - publishing route has worked for m . ardell olsen , an insurance salesman in ogden , utah , who recently received patent no . 5 , 820 , 125 for a bible game that he originally assembled in his basement with the help of his wife and children .\n' ' we went into a store looking for something to help our family remember and understand the teachings of the bible and we couldn ' t find anything , ' ' dana m . olsen , the inventor ' s wife , recalled .\nso mr . olsen decided to invent a game that has the object of entering the kindom of heaven by demonstrating biblical knowledge . he and his family read scriptures together to come up with questions .

winners , by contrast , have sometimes stayed rather too long ) . nine unelected prime ministers had terms of office that lasted less than four years in office since 1900 , compared with only five elected ones .\nthough there is surely no appetite at the moment for a quick general election , there are some harsh lessons for mrs may in the experiences of two of the previous three unelected premiers . mr brown took over a healthy commons majority from tony blair in an uncontested succession in 2007 . he toyed with holding a snap election to claim his own mandate\u2014only to back down . he struggled against taunts that he had \u201cbottled it\u201d , and when the financial crisis of 2008 hit , his popularity slumped . he lost the 2010 election to mr cameron . in 1976 callaghan won a leadership contest to succeed the labour prime minister , harold wilson , and then spurned the chance to call an election in the autumn of 1978 when he could well have beaten thatcher , the new , relatively unpopular tory leader . by the following year events had turned against him and she won the 1979 election , ushering in 18 years of tory ascendancy .\nother unelected premiers have fared even worse . lord home won a bitter leadership battle to succeed macmillan in 1963 , and was prime minister for less than a year . eden took over from churchill in 1955 in an uncontested succession and won a snap election , but was destroyed the following year by the suez crisis . neville chamberlain succeeded stanley baldwin in 1937 and endured a miserable three years culminating in the nazi invasion of france , after which he was forced aside by churchill . even the great war leader did not have it all his own way as an unelected prime minister . the first time he went to the country to win his own mandate , at the end of the war , his party was eviscerated . he had to wait until 1951 , 11 years after he first entered downing street , to win an election himself .\nby general consent , the most successful and significant post - war premierships have all been by elected prime ministers ; clement attlee , thatcher and perhaps mr blair . unelected prime ministers may be constitutional , but their lack of a popular mandate weakens their authority , as callaghan and mr brown tacitly acknowledged by contemplating elections well before they had to . with no early feel for the electorate , they were soundly beaten when the time came .\nand even when unelected leaders did win their own mandates , things went wrong soon afterwards , as with eden , mr major and arguably macmillan . perhaps it is coincidence . but perhaps , also , their keenness to display the \u201cfirm smack of government\u201d , as one critic of eden put it , in order to compensate for their glide to the top , led them into disastrous missteps . mrs may must be hoping that she bucks the trend .\neach week , over one million subscribers trust us to help them make sense of the world .\npublished since september 1843 to take part in \u201ca severe contest between intelligence , which presses forward , and an unworthy , timid ignorance obstructing our progress . \u201d\nthis article is issued from wikipedia -

need to access my friends list and my profile in return . that was a lie , as i found out when i completed a hot dog stand , and i was suddenly whisked out of the game and into the facebook app .\nrollercoaster tycoon 4 mobile would like to post publicly to facebook for you .\ni opted to skip the game ' s offer to fill my feed with its nonsense . it didn ' t seem to take the hint , dragging me back when i completed another ride .\nmakes its pc debut , the game will be a far cry from its mobile incarnation , according to atari .\nwe can ' t share that much , but [ pc ] will definitely be a completely different game ,\nsaid anthony chien , atari senior director of marketing , in a\naccording to tmz , frontier developments calculated that it was owed approximately $ 3 . 37 million in royalties for rollercoaster tycoon 3 based on the game\u2019s sales figures , but atari only paid $ 1 . 17 million . the publisher then \u201cdelayed\u201d payments after frontier requested an audit of atari\u2019s sales reports \u2014 frontier claims that a separate source showed far higher sales figures for the game than atari has divulged at the time .\nrollercoaster tycoon features 22 scenarios , with the first five open from the start . successfully completing a scenario will unlock the next one . additionally , mega park is unlocked when all 21 scenarios are completed . this scenario has no objective ( except\nhave fun !\n) , but allows the player to build on nearly the entire map , and eventually has all attractions available to build . this is the closest to a\nsandbox\npark , except the player does not have an unlimited amount of money to work with , only a $ 50 , 000 loan .\ncomplete any of these goals and you ' re given some experience points , some cash and a pat on the back . it doesn ' t matter that your customers have to walk across a large field to reach the entrance to your rollercoaster or that your balloon stand is positioned immediately behind your ' welcome ' sign , because both will attract foot traffic regardless .\nroller coaster tycoon 4 is one of the few games where you really don ' t have to spend any real life money if you ' re smart about how you spend your initial coins and where you choose to use your tickets . you only earn tickets for completing quests and as special finds . how many coins you earn is completely up to how well your park performs . one of the biggest wastes of tickets is to spend them on speeding up construction . instead , be patient and pay attention to how long something takes to build . if it ' s a long wait , build those things right before you close the game . that way you aren ' t tying up money you want while playing . you also don ' t end up spending tickets on rushing the process . it happens while you ' re gone .\nguests are the visitors to the amusement park . they have specific tastes in rides , such as rides with an intensity rating\nabove 4\nor\nbetween 2 and 6\n. their nausea tolerance levels vary from\nnone\nto\nhigh\n. in the first game , guests had id numbers instead of names ( e . g .\nguest 212\n) . in roller coaster tycoon 2 and 3 , the guests were given names . giving guests specific names can unlock easter eggs and / or cheats . guests only vary in clothing colors , but otherwise look exactly the same . each visitor brings a variable amount of money with them into the park , and will pay to enter the amusement park if there is an entrance fee , as long as they have enough money and it is not too expensive .\nthe main way you ' ll earn money in rct 4 is by selling food to your park guests . hotels are important to since they increase your park ' s holding capacity . the more people you have , the more rooms you book and the more food you sell . figure out which food booths generate the most money and build a ton of them . i like to do it off in a corner of the game where they aren ' t in the way . hotels you can easily upgrade before building more so they take up far less space .\nthere are 21 scenarios included with rollercoaster tycoon , as well as 30 more in the corkscrew follies expansion pack , and another 30 in the loopy landscapes expansion pack , totaling to 81 scenarios if the whole set is installed . there are also 3 promotional scenarios released with magazines and 11 official scenarios created by hasbro for competitions , as well as 3 real amusement parks and 1 extra park that are available in the deluxe edition . some scenarios afford the player empty tracts of land on which to build the park from scratch , but most place the player in control of an operational park that is usually underdeveloped , dilapidated , or suffering from poor planning . if the player deems the park undersized for his needs or desires , they may be able to purchase land for the park , or construction rights allowing them to build on top of the land ( but not directly on it ) .\ni discovered this when one of my goals was to build a new steel rollercoaster to join my two wooden ones . i decided to take a look at the prefab models , for reasons that will soon become abundantly clear . i picked a monster called black mamba having freed up a bit of land in advance . it was too big , of course , but i was still shocked to discover that i ' d have to pay for eight new plots to fit it in , at a cost approaching the price of the ride itself .\n- corporation mode - there are lots of islands in the sea and there are lots of potential tourists on those islands . compete with other players and get these tourists to your parks . there is a lot of profit to be made . prove that you are the biggest tycoon out there ! - camera rotation - there had to be an easier way to make those intricate bends for your coaster , and now there is ! - water tiles - make a pond or a lake , build some bridges - various bug fixes\nit ' s far from the only technical issue . there ' s no option to change the camera angle and no way to adjust the transparency of anything - so good luck if you were planning on building something behind your rollercoaster . at one point i located an errant piece of stone pathway only when a building inexplicably disappeared from view for a few seconds . this fairy house i ' ve just added must be magic , i thought . but then it happened to a burger joint and my octopus ride . and my toilets , my hotel , my gift shop and my coffee stand .\n' s ben silverman highlighted the game ' s graphical style :\nthe nature of the game just doesn ' t call for fancy graphics , and thankfully things run smoothly . the detail level is very cool , from the green - faced nauseous guest to the marquee scrolling the name of the ride at the entrance .\nhe also praised the endless amount of possibilities in designing rollercoaster rides , as well as the huge amount of specific detail , such as the location of a food stall , the player should and can focus on of their park , with the only slight criticisms being the\nsloppy\ninterface .\ni soon began to sympathise with the builders , however , because manually constructing a rollercoaster is an equally tedious and long - winded process . in theory , a touchscreen should be ideal for this sort of thing , but instead of drawing a track and then adjusting heights and angles , it has to be done piecemeal . it ' s alarmingly limited , to . sometimes you ' ll want to raise or lower a piece and the game inexplicably won ' t let you - perhaps because the ride would be too exciting , and your customers would be too happy too soon , boosting your earning power before you ' d had chance to spend real money trying to hurry things along .\n' s jason bates also called it a fun game . he wrote that making custom rides could take a very long time and be very frustrating at first , and players would have to pay too much cash to tasks liking changing land levels , re - positioning trees and build walkways , while they design their rollercoaster . however , once players mastered doing so ,\nyou ' ll get a lot of pride out of designing some crazy , twisting corkscrew that winds in and out of lakes and hot dog stands , painting it bright neon pink and orange , and giving it a name like the vominator . and then when the kids start lining up for those $ 5 tickets , you ' ll be ready to start saving up for your next ridiculous extravaganza .\ni honestly love this game ! i downloaded this two days ago and can ' t stop playing it . my favorite part is that you are able to build custom roller coasters , and not have to choose one that is already built . there is only one thing ~ bugs . . . whenever i try to play the food rush or the wheel of fortune ( which i think are great ideas ) , i finish them , move to a new level ,

[ 19 ] in this sense , china\u2019s financing to africa , including aid , creates business for chinese companies and employment opportunities for chinese laborers , a critical goal of beijing\u2019s going out strategy .\naccording to 2011 white paper on china\u2019s foreign aid , published by the state council of the prc , \u201cfinancial resources provided by china for foreign aid mainly fall into three types : grants ( aid gratis ) , interest - free loans and concessional loans . the first two come from china ' s state finances , while concessional loans are provided by the export - import bank of china as designated by the chinese government [ \u2026 ] foreign aid expenditure is part of the state expenditure , under the unified management of the ministry of finance in its budgets and final accounts system . \u201d kitano & harada ( 2016 ) have inferred that the foreign aid figures \u201cwere based on committed amounts and that disbursed amounts were therefore still unpublished . \u201d\nchina has provided foreign assistance since the 1950s , and is now the largest developing country to provide aid outside of the development assistance committee ( dac ) , a forum of the world\u2019s major donor countries under the organization for economic cooperation and development ( oecd ) . like its foreign policy more broadly , chinese foreign assistance has adhered to the \u201cfive principles of peaceful coexistence\u201d and emphasized the virtue of national self - reliance . at the same time , it has served a strategic purpose alongside other foreign policy priorities .\nthe chinese have helped build more than 300 dams in africa , like this one on the congo river .\nthere are three main organs controlling chinese aid : the ministry of commerce , the ministry of foreign affairs and china ' s eximbank . the state council - china ' s cabinet - has oversight , and approves the annual budget , grants and aid projects over a certain amount , as well as aid to politically sensitive countries . the ministry of finance is also responsible for giving aid to multilateral organizations , such as un agencies .\nstay up to date on devex coverage of u . s . foreign policy under trump :\nrecipient governments do not just passively receive aid but rather actively attempt to manage their foreign aid donors . they pay attention to how predictable and consistent donors are with their aid dollars , preferring to work with donor agencies that keep their word and deliver what they promised .\ndue to the lack of transparency in china\u2019s aid statistics , other efforts were undertaken to collect more information on china\u2019s foreign aid , ranging from media - based , field - based , to extrapolating from official data . \u201cestimating china\u2019s foreign aid 2001 - 2013\u201d ( 2016 ) , by kitano & harada at jica research institute , provides an excellent overview of these efforts .\nmy conversations with government officials , however , suggest that some african governments see chinese aid as more credible than assistance from traditional western donors . this puts even more pressure on traditional donors to offer credible promises of aid to recipient governments .\nthere\u2019s another big reason u . s . foreign aid is important : it helps the u . s . get what it wants . - the washington post\nhowever , given the lengthy nature of china\u2019s foreign aid reform and the vested interests associated with the current setup , few expect the top leadership to make any drastic moves in the near future . nevertheless , technical reforms , internal adjustments , and enhanced multilateral cooperation are indeed on the horizon for china\u2019s foreign aid .\ngiven the above considerations , president xi jinping\u2019s 2015 announcement of a three - year $ 60bn aid package for africa presages still deeper chinese soft power forays into this strategically important continent , and arguably represents a wake - up call for the west that size is not the sole , nor even the main , criterion for effective foreign aid .\nin a new book , \u201c the development dance : how donors and recipients negotiate the delivery of foreign aid , \u201d i argue that aid is about bargaining and diplomacy . contrary to popular conception , aid is not a unilateral gift . foreign aid requires , in president trump\u2019s words , the \u201cart of the deal . \u201d but diplomacy is not like the real estate business . to get the best deal , you need to be predictable .\nfor both types of donors , recipient country governance is important . this conclusion is drawn from looking at the determinants of american and chinese foreign aid to 31 countries in sub - saharan africa . in the case of the us , both political rights and civil liberty are considerations in its aid allocation decisions to the region . for china , political rights are more important than civil liberty in influencing who receives aid .\nsince 2001 the need to boost chinese domestic economic growth has further driven china\u2019s interest in sub - saharan africa\u2019s natural resources .\nsome observers have also noted that most of the infrastructure projects funded with chinese official aid improve access to locations where chinese companies can produce agricultural products as well as undertake mining activities . if the philippines\u2019 department of environment and natural resources sustains its clampdown on destructive mining operations , will china just discontinue aid for that sector or will it exert pressure to overturn the strict policy ?\nchina ' s foreign aid program is now the sixth largest in the world . only the uk , us , germany , france and japan provided more last year .\nemily tamkin is a staff writer at foreign policy covering ambassadorial and diplomatic affairs in washington . @ emilyctamkin\nthe economic sectors that get most attention in extending funding assistance and investment \u2014 particularly food production , mining and other resource extraction projects \u2014 which raises analysts\u2019 questions whether the real beneficiaries are the poor countries receiving the chinese funding or the chinese economy itself .\nhart and other aid executives told devex that such deep cuts would be short sighted and discount the role that development plays in creating global stability . the defense community has also emerged as a supporter of foreign aid , with a similar rationale .\nprominent in the aid debate is the notion that western donor countries are more concerned about the degree of governance in recipient countries . their chinese counterparts are assumed to overlook the level and type of governance .\ninternational development minister concetta fierravanti - wells ' remarks about china ' s aid to the pacific are part of a long tradition of concern in australia . yet while some chinese aid projects are less than perfect , as my colleague jonathan pryke notes , fierravanti - wells ' sweeping\na political analyst at the university of new south wales in canberra , veasna var , wrote in an article published by the east asia forum days before the asean foreign ministers\u2019 gathering that \u201cexcessive dependence on china [ financial aid ] has also placed cambodian foreign policy firmly under china\u2019s influence . \u201d\n\u201con the one hand , i have never heard as much bipartisan support for foreign aid in my entire career as i have heard in response to this budget , \u201d said hart .\nin terms of the largest sub - saharan africa recipients of chinese aid , nigeria , ghana and sudan have been the top recipients in the past decade . the three countries combined received about $ 250 million in aid . the majority goes to energy infrastructure such as oil pipelines .\nthe document details how the trump administration\u2019s plans to reduce direct foreign assistance would take place in fiscal year 2018 .\nthe proposed changes also contradict some previous republican positions , for example the shift toward esf funds , which are subject to less monitoring and regulation . republicans have traditionally favored greater aid transparency and were key backers of the recent foreign aid transparency and accountability act .\nin recent years , china\u2019s economic presence in africa has led to a heated debate , some of it well - informed and some of it not , about the nature of chinese involvement and its implications for the continent . the debate is partially motivated by the rapid growth of china\u2019s economic presence in africa : for example , chinese investment in africa grew from usd 210 million in 2000 to 3 . 17 billion in 2011 . [ 1 ] aid is an important policy instrument for china among its various engagements with africa , and indeed africa has been a top recipient of chinese aid : by the end of 2009 it had received 45 . 7 percent of the rmb 256 . 29 billion cumulative foreign aid of china . [ 2 ] this aid to africa has raised many questions , such as its composition , its goal and nature .\ndr philippa brant is a lowy institute research associate . china\u2019s aid policy , like almost everything china does on the world stage , attracts close scrutiny and often criticism . the forthcoming release of china\u2019s second white paper on foreign aid ( likely within the next month ) will\nchinese foreign aid expenditure have increased steadily in the past decade , growing from us $ 631 million in 2003 to close to us $ 3 billion in 2015 , with an average annual growth rate of 14 % . the steepest growths were observed between 2005 and 2008 , when annual growth rates range between 14 % and 45 % . a sluggish growth of less than 1 % was observed in 2015 , the lowest growth rate yet since 2003 . after peaking in 2014 and 2015 , chinese foreign aid expenditure decreased from close to 3 billion in 2015 to $ 2 . 253 billion in 2016 . the 24 . 5 % decrease arises from large fiscal carryover funds in previous years .\npoliticians in donor countries determine how much foreign aid a particular country gets . but donor agencies like usaid are responsible for delivering that aid . in exchange for aid dollars , donor officials ask recipients to make changes like implementing anti - corruption programs , establishing an independent electoral commission or overhauling the country\u2019s primary education system . this requires donor officials to negotiate with recipient governments over how and under what conditions aid will be delivered .\nalthough the benefits of chinese aid in sub - saharan africa are clear in health and infrastructure projects , including the provision of medicine , the training of health workers as well as the construction of transport infrastructure , there are some drawbacks to the aid . while china provides aid for different projects over a wide spectrum , for the most part it is focused on a few specific sectors . as a result pertinent issues that enable domestic resource generation in the region are not necessarily addressed . this suggests that there is a need to re - assess the type of chinese aid sub - saharan countries accept and to make sure that the aid ties in with these countries\u2019 development agendas .\nit should be noted that , although china\u2019s foreign aid reform is primarily a domestic campaign , recipients , especially african countries could play an important role in shaping the discourse . to fully utilize china\u2019s foreign aid resources and potential , african countries should not stay passively as mere recipients , but actively voice their needs and concerns . only through interactive and collaborative efforts could china\u2019s aid to africa be shepherded for the maximum benefits for the recipient countries . if there is one voice that china\u2019s aid community cannot afford ignore , it is that of africa itself .\nit looks like u . s . president donald trump ' s plan to reduce the foreign aid budget will come at a cost to his administration ' s other aims in south and central asia .\ncompared to top dac donor countries , the scale of china\u2019s foreign assistance is still relatively small . according to some estimates and oecd international development statistics , china\u2019s gross foreign aid in 2001 was extremely limited , amounting to only about 1 . 8 percent of the total contribution by dac donors . however , since launching its \u201cgo global\u201d strategy in 2005 , china has deepened its financial engagement with the world , and its foreign aid totals have grown at an average rate of 21 . 8 percent annually . in 2013 , china contributed about 3 . 9 percent to total global development assistance , which is 6 . 6 percent of the total contribution by dac countries and over 26 percent of total u . s . foreign aid .\ntrump\u2019s plan to cut foreign aid spending has been anticipated for months . the president rarely broached the topic on the campaign trail , but a series of outline documents \u2014 some of them released intentionally , others leaked to the press and think tanks \u2014 gave a clear indication that the white house had its sights set on cutting foreign aid . the administration\u2019s stance has left the development community facing something of a paradox .\nchina\u2019s role as an aid donor has been met with wariness , both from aid experts and recipients . confusion over the nature of china\u2019s aid arises because the country uses multiple ministries and agencies to give money , has different strategic priorities than traditional western donors , and does not release detailed reports about how much aid it provides .\nthis week ' s quick comment interview is with the lowy institute ' s dr philippa brant , who is behind the lowy institute ' s latest ( and very popular ) infographic on chinese aid to the pacific . philippa discusses how she put the data together ( china doesn ' t have a comprehensive accounting of its own aid\nchina\u2019s ministry of finance has been publishing their annual central government budgets and expenditures since 2003 . relevant budget categories have evolved over the years , though what the budget category of \u201cforeign aid\u201d encompasses has remained fairly unchanged .\nthis may be a reflection of the fact that china has been a recipient nation of aid .\ninfluenced mainly by their own experience of development and by the requests of recipient countries , the chinese aid and economic cooperation programmes emphasized infrastructure , production and university scholarships at a time when traditional donors downplayed these ,\nwrote br\u00e4utigam .\ndespite strong opposition to some of the proposed cuts by members of congress , military leaders and business leaders , administration officials seem to have made few changes to the foreign aid budget from the \u201cskinny\u201d budget and earlier leaks .\nmost of these aid forms have existed since china became an international donor . the country gives money through three mechanisms : interest - free loans ; grants ; and preferential interest loans or tied loans , according to xue lei , a research fellow of shanghai ' s institutes for international studies .\nmost of the foreign aid is provided in the form of project aid ,\nhe told irin .\nthe restructuring also saw the creation of three policy banks . these were china\u2019s development bank , china export - import bank and china agricultural development bank . they were all state owned and enabled the government to provide targeted finance . the new policy opened the door to an economic and trade strategy . it enabled chinese investments in manufacturing and agriculture , and growth in chinese assembly factories . it also created increased demand for chinese exports and allowed china\u2019s incursion into the exploration and investment in minerals and forest resources in africa .\nthe foreign aid arena in africa has traditionally been dominated by the organisation of economic co - operation and development ( oecd ) countries . however , over the past three decades non - traditional donors such as china , have emerged .\ndespite chinese leaders\u2019 claim that china\u2019s assistance to africa is totally selfless and altruistic , the reality is far more complex . [ 9 ] china\u2019s policy toward africa is pragmatic , and aid has been a useful policy instrument since the early days of people\u2019s republic of china .\nin the 1960s africa provided china with an opportunity to increase its political and diplomatic reach . chinese interest in the continent came about in part as a result of political tensions between china and the soviet union as well as increased american and japanese competition in asia . in addition to political motives , africa presented china with economic opportunities . while the initial motive for chinese aid was to strengthen diplomatic ties , the resource motive became an important factor .\nsince the beginning of china\u2019s reform and opening up , especially after 2000 , africa has become an increasingly important economic partner for china . africa enjoys rich natural resources and market potential , and urgently needs infrastructure and development finance to stimulate economic growth . chinese development finance , combined with the aid , aims at not only benefiting the local recipient countries , but also china itself . for example , china\u2019s \u201ctied aid\u201d for infrastructure usually favors chinese companies ( especially state - owned enterprises ) , while its loans are in many cases backed by african natural resources .\nmoreover , at a time of massive chinese assistance flooding the region , savings achieved through scrounging comparatively small levels of assistance will leave washington with a shrunken profile and a shallower footprint .\nchina\u2019s aid strategy contradicts the western approach , but is arguably more effective in achieving development goals .\nconcessional loans , provided by china eximbank , now make up nearly half of the total aid .\nearlier this year trump also announced he was withholding $ 32 . 5 million in funding earmarked for the u . n . population fund , the lead united nations agency on family planning and maternal health . trump made that decision on the grounds that the agency helps to support a chinese government family planning program that forces people to get abortions and sterilizations \u2014 a determination that both the agency and many advocates for foreign aid vigorously dispute .\nthe west\u2019s concern is that china\u2019s $ 9bn overseas aid ( and investment ) operates as a form of 21st century neocolonialist imperialism , exploiting poorer states\u2019 energy and commodity sectors . however , this is contested by a growing body of empirical evidence that suggests chinese aid is allocated irrespective of whether recipient nations are resource - rich , or not , acting to dispel fears that china delivers only \u201crogue aid\u201d ( opaque , political , and exploitative ) to \u201crogue states\u201d ( authoritarian and corrupt ) .\nin a chapter in an edited book , philippa brant examines the dynamics of china\u2019s provision of foreign aid and its quest for natural resources in the south pacific region , with comparative references to other regions . she argues that although major commercial resource contracts do\nduring the cold war , foreign aid an important political tool that china used to gain africa\u2019s diplomatic recognition and to compete with the united states and the soviet union for africa\u2019s support . between 1963 and 1964 , zhou enlai visited 10 african countries and announced the well - known \u201ceight principles of foreign economic and technological assistance . \u201d [ 10 ] these aid principles were designed to compete simultaneously with the \u201cimperialists\u201d ( the united states ) and the \u201crevisionists\u201d ( the soviet union ) for africa\u2019s approval and support .\nabout 61 percent of chinese concessional loans to africa are used for infrastructure construction , and 16 percent are for industrial development . the three areas that receive the largest allocations of chinese concessional loans are transport and storage ; energy generation and supply ; and industry , mining , and construction . a small portion of the remaining allocations go to health , general budget support , and education .\nonce a government signs a memorandum of understanding , the chinese firm proceeds to work on a feasibility study . the chinese can be \u201con the ground in a week\u201d doing the feasibility study , which is itself is \u201cnot comprehensive\u201d but merely an analysis of the cost \u2014 a stark contrast with the long time western companies or even the world bank spend on feasibility studies , hruby noted .\nto the white house and congress cautioning against cuts to foreign aid and diplomacy . the letter cited the state department and usaid\u2019s role in maintaining global stability by confronting extremist groups like the islamic state , curbing refugee flows , and combating infectious diseases like ebola .\nthere are also changes in the way china looks at the links between aid , development and business .\nnonetheless , aid experts still expect the final budget passed by congress to lower spending levels on assistance .\npresident donald trump\u2019s 2018 fiscal year budget proposal would shift funds from the united states agency for international development to the state department , hinting at potential changes in how development is carried out and shedding light on which parts of foreign aid could take the biggest hit .\nelizabeth c . economy is c . v . starr senior fellow and director for asia studies at the council on foreign relations . follow her on twitter @ lizeconomy .\nstudies made in recent years on the experience of developing countries that have received chinese official development assistance and capital investment showed gains made in such sectors as infrastructure , agriculture , energy and mining . some of the aid money also goes to technical cooperation , human resource development , medical assistance , and debt relief .\nin addition , over 23 other government ministries and commissions play some role in providing foreign aid . for example , the ministry of education has been responsible for scholarships provided to african students to study in china , and the ministry of health runs and funds overseas medical programmes .\n\u201cwhat i see happening in this budget is elimination and draconian cuts to aspects of the foreign aid program critical for getting results , \u201d said george ingram , a senior fellow at the brookings institution . \u201cyou are removing the account and mechanisms that produce the greatest accountability . \u201d\nchinese aid in infrastructure outweighs that of other donors . it accounts for over 30 % of total value of infrastructure projects in africa . sub - saharan africa\u2019s education and health sectors have also benefited significantly . but the amount committed to these two sectors lags behind others such as transport and energy . this is possibly due to the fact that a significant amount of western aid is focused on these two sectors ( see table 1 ) .\nchina\u2019s aid policy in africa underwent major reforms between 1994 and 1995 . these were effected in three main ways :\nthe president\u2019s budget is a proposal to congress and is likely to change considerably before coming into effect . the initial top line cuts have been met with criticism from republicans and democrats in the house and senate . observers and advocates believe that foreign aid and usaid have support on capitol hill .\naccording to natsios , the former usaid administrator , secretary of state henry kissinger similarly diverted funds during the cold war . natsios pointed to the consultations that current secretary of state rex tillerson has had with kissinger and believes that the elder statesman may be influencing the administration\u2019s attitude toward foreign aid restructuring .\nmy research tells us that uncertainty in foreign aid negotiations undermines the ability of usaid to lobby for things including democratic overhauls , increased transparency and economic policy that are in the u . s . national interest . this should matter to a president interested in making deals that benefit the american people . to get the best possible deal for our aid dollars , the assistance needs to be given in a predictable way .\nin many contemporary accounts of western aid and capacity - building in africa , there would not be a close connection between aid and trade ,\nking writes in his book . china by contrast , sees a very important link between private business and aid . indeed , this is a core element of china ' s official view to development .\nkonyndyk told devex that such a shift could see u . s . programs lose key aid expertise , developed at usaid over the past half century . \u201cwhen we see state really driving foreign assistance spending , it generally is not as effective , rigorous , or results -

'\nthat\u2019s why drastic cuts in aid will hurt the u . s . \u2019s ability to keep its promises to countries like ghana . retracting aid promises will discourage recipients from upholding their side of the bargain . it will also undermine the u . s . \u2019s credibility in future negotiations .\nthe trump administration\u2019s proposed federal budget includes a 28 percent cut ( $ 26 . 6 billion ) in spending for the state department and the united states agency for international development ( usaid ) . according to trump\u2019s budget director , the may budget proposal prioritizes \u201chard\u201d vs . \u201csoft\u201d power , increasing military spending and preserving current foreign aid levels for just one country \u2014 israel .\nfor developing economies like the philippines , development aid and investment flows from china are an attractive proposition that could energize a range of productive sectors .\nchina\u2019s aid in sub - saharan africa is varied and can be found in almost all sectors from telecommunication to health . the largest amount of aid funding goes towards the transport , storage , energy and communications sectors . a significant share , about 70 % , is geared towards infrastructure development .\nsome of the cuts appear directed at countries that had been regarded as strategically important . for instance , foreign assistance to ukraine , which is used to encourage political and economic reform , is facing a 68 . 8 percent cut .\naid experts reacted to the budget document with alarm . the proposal would take \u201caid back to the worst days of the 1950s\u201d by ignoring the development lessons of the past half century , said john norris , the executive director of the sustainable security and peacebuilding initiative at the center for american progress .\none expert , aubrey hruby , a co - founder of the africa expert network , noted that chinese companies usually deploy representatives to a developing country and look for potential infrastructure projects . they arrange high - level meetings with government ministers or the president of the country to pitch the idea .\nforeign - policy and national security experts on both sides of the aisle have argued that the cuts pose concrete risks to u . s . security interests . in february , a group of 121 retired generals and admirals sent an open letter\non one level the reductions did not come as a surprise . trump had already made clear in his\nskinny budget\nproposal , released in march , that he wanted to lower spending on foreign assistance by more than a third .\nin all four countries , there are aid units within the ministry of finance whose sole job is to dialogue with donors , manage aid funds and represent the government\u2019s interests with donors . in rwanda , this government unit produces annual reports on the performance of individual donors \u2014 an attempt to shame agencies into upholding their commitments .\nwhat does china\u2019s new white paper on aid need to say ? dr philippa brant china policy institute blog , university of nottingham 26 march 2014 please click here for online text .\nsome countries would see dramatic increases in parts of their aid budgets and cuts in others . sometimes cuts will offset with new funds , sometimes they don\u2019t . countries including the central african republic , niger , sierra leone , laos , thailand , poland , brazil , cuba and nicaragua would see all their aid for the u . s . government disappear .\n\u201cit is a politicized foreign assistance budget , \u201d said scott morris , a senior fellow at the center for global development . morris added that the choice to treat cuts to humanitarian assistance and global health programs as an opportunity to make a political statement represents a \u201cdeparture\u201d from recent decades .\nadva saldinger is an associate editor at devex , where she covers the intersection of business and international development , as well as u . s . foreign aid policy . from partnerships to trade and social entrepreneurship to impact investing , adva explores the role the private sector and private capital play in development . a journalist with more than 10 years of experience , she has worked at several newspapers in the u . s . and lived in both ghana and south africa .\nthe proposal would slash development assistance funds , which are managed by usaid and intended to boost development outcomes . in some cases , the budget would redirect spending through the economic support fund , which is run through the state department and intended to meet u . s . foreign policy objectives .\nthese efforts were enhanced during the cultural revolution under the influence of a radical revolutionary ideology , motivating china to provide large amounts of foreign aid to africa despite its own domestic economic difficulties . [ 11 ] one famous example was the tanzania - zambia railway built between 1970 and 1975 , for which china provided a zero - interest loan of rmb 980 million . by the mid - 1980s , china\u2019s generous assistance had opened the door to diplomatic recognition with 44 african countries . [ 12 ]\nsadly , the cuts to the global health account do not come as a surprise . the global health initiative was a signature foreign assistance priority of the obama administration\u2014in fact , it was called a \u201cpresidential initiative\u201d\u2014and the cuts are in keeping with president trump\u2019s desire to undo many of the obama administration\u2019s undertakings .\nthe administration\u2019s march budget proposal vowed to slash aid to developing countries by over one - third , but contained few details . according to a detailed 15 - page state department budget document obtained by\nmore broadly advocates worry that by putting such an unprecedented cut on the table trump will at least chip away at the longstanding bipartisan consensus that global health aid should be funded at current levels .\nthe president\u2019s budget request proposes to eliminate title ii food aid , relying instead on the international disaster assistance account it deems to be more efficient , and yet which it also proposes to cut .\nby 1976 chinese resource interest was apparent in numerous sub - saharan african countries . examples include the construction of the tan zam railroad in zambia in part to facilitate china\u2019s access to copper . there was also the construction of roads in countries like ethiopia to assist the movement of cotton exports to china . china\u2019s view of the resource possibilities in sub - saharan africa continues today .\n\u201cthe draconian and unprecedented nature of the cuts that are being proposed to foreign assistance \u2026 really does threaten our ability to pursue and achieve our national security interests , \u201d said mich\u00e8le flournoy , chief executive officer of the center for a new american security and a former undersecretary of defense in the obama administration .\nfor more than a decade , u . s . engagement in global development efforts has stood as a rare exception to washington\u2019s constant partisan warfare , with both democrats and republicans tending to agree that relatively small investments in developing countries benefit u . s . national security and project american values . the trump administration\u2019s proposal to slash foreign aid spending by a third marks a distinct turn toward a more politically charged environment for these programs than has been seen in a long time , many in the development community agreed .\non tuesday , the administration defended its proposal to slash foreign affairs spending as part of an effort to enhance efficiency , and focus on only the most effective programs . the officials suggested that current humanitarian needs can be met in part with funds already appropriated in the 2017 omnibus budget bill that passed last month .\nmichael igoe is a senior reporter with devex , based in washington , d . c . he covers u . s . foreign aid , global health , climate change , and development finance . prior to joining devex , michael researched water management and climate change adaptation in post - soviet central asia , where he also wrote for eurasianet . michael earned his bachelor ' s degree from bowdoin college , where he majored in russian , and his master\u2019s degree from the university of montana , where he studied international conservation and development .\naid to kazakhstan and turkmenistan will end , full stop . kazakhstan , an upper middle - income country according to world bank data , was receiving limited u . s . aid , on the order of $ 6 million . turkmenistan , also an upper middle - income country with an authoritarian leader\u2014a place the guardian recently called the world\u2019s second - most isolated state after north korea\u2014will see the closure of its miniscule $ 3 . 9 million aid package . assistance to the kyrgyz republic , tajikistan , and uzbekistan will continue\u2014but under the esf account , and with smaller budgets shrunk by about half . assistance to uzbekistan will increase slightly .\nstill , the proposal sends an ominous message on global development as legislators dive into the first of several contentious budget negotiations in the coming months . this week , congress will try to hammer out a budget for the rest of 2017 before funding runs out at the end of the week . this could include foreign aid cuts , and analysts are watching it as a signal of what might follow . debate on the 2018 budget is expected to pick up at the end of may or early june , when trump\u2019s full budget proposal is expected .\nscholars have defended the importance of aid in fostering economic growth and democratization . faith leaders , retired military and even republican members of congress have criticized the proposal as undermining diplomatic efforts that are important for national security .\ngiven the lack of transparency in china ' s aid program , much is still ( educated ) guesswork . this new paper won ' t be perfect . but it is the best we ' ve seen to date .\nthe budget document also points to a shift in aid philosophy and perhaps in the way the government delivers assistance . the allocations of cuts have fueled rumors that the administration would like to merge usaid into the state department .\nchina on july 15 , 2016 announced the grant of us $ 600 million in aid to support cambodia infrastructure , education and health projects . \u201cchina , a key ally of cambodia in the region and the southeast asian nation\u2019s largest donor , in return expects support in international forums , including in discussions over the future of the south china sea , \u201d the us - funded voice of america khmer said in reporting the signing of the aid agreement .\nit\u2019s worth thinking about the tradeoffs here in ceasing and shrinking these relatively small programs in central asia . as nisha desai biswal\u2014who served as assistant administrator for asia at the u . s . agency for international development before becoming assistant secretary of state for south and central asia during the obama administration\u2014puts it , \u201climited foreign assistance is playing a crucial role . \u201d"]}

testing of the pc and mac version , and war thunder was awarded as best simulation game at gamescom 2013 expo .\nwhich is really weird for gaijin in general who almost never admits that they made some bad decisions in the game . i ' m looking at you sim tanks events .\nthe account ' s owner , kirill fedorov has shown that gaijin achieved this by spamming ip complaints against his videos . according to him , the conflict between him and gaijin started a long time ago after one of his colleagues organized a\nflashmob\ntype protest against gaijin pay to win practices in 2013 . this resulted in the removal of the youtuber ' s press - account and cease of communication . this protest has caused the community staff to ban any mention of the channel on the forums .\nhe didn ' t sign the contract the offered . gaijin posted first half of the contract online for the community to see , but they didn ' t disclose the rest .\nwe really don ' t know the truth . this guy might be full of shit , but did anybody from gaijin attempt to use normal communication before they went after the channel ?\nit seems that it seems to be a common trend with gaijin , first they tried it with rooster teeth and got a wall of hate from it as well as facing potential legal retaliation from a company considerably more legally savvy then they are . ~ just a mistake , gaijin so sorry and don ' t know what copy right infringement flags are , won ' t happen again . .\nhours after the reddit thread went up , the ace advanced pack\u2014again , according to a steamdb entry \u2014was removed from the steam summer sale pack . however , this all took place before the steam summer sale went live . the alleged sale swap out happened behind the scenes . kotaku uk got in touch with war thunder developer gaijin entertainment , and they claimed that while many things were on their agenda\u2014for instance , tanks , planes , more tanks\u2014foul play wasn\u2019t one of them .\nurltoken gaijin entertainment is proud to present brand new cgi - trailer for pc mmo - combat game war thunder , also the launch title for playstation 4 . this video is called war thunder heroes and encompasses our vision of the game , where host of aircrafts , ground vehicles and naval forces are locked in a full - scale global conflict over ww2 theaters of war . russian site : urltoken twitter : urltoken . . . facebook : urltoken . . . . . show less\ni just have learned to live with the bullshit ( mostly gaijin itself ) that surrounds it . and as soon as i grow tired , i go do something else . no use letting this game get under my skin .\npaul told them \u201cno , nothing doing , and we\u2019ll be going to court if you persist . \u201d at this point , gaijin entertainment\u2019s legal team opted to \u201csuspend\u201d the udrp complaint . suspension of these complaints lasts for one calendar month , during which time parties are expected to come to a settlement . at the end of the month , if there has been no activity , the complaint is automatically withdrawn ( though without prejudice \u2013 meaning it can be refiled ) , and a certain percentage of the fees are returned to the complaining party .\nthe know ( the channel that put of the video that was taken down ) already made a new video explaining the situation , saying they ' re inclined to believe the ceo of gaijin in saying that it was a mistake , and that the controversy behind it was just a series of unfortunate misunderstandings between steam ( ? ) and gaijin . so i don ' t see the point in throwing another claim at them at this point . at least as far as i can tell .\ni really don ' t know wtf gaijin is doing here . . . . it seems the russian operating practices does largely from the rest of the world . . . . . i ' m joking of course . quite a few russians are excellent individuals .\nyeah for me this is too little , too late . he only showed up to explain the packs after this video went up . i ' ve had plenty of other problems with gaijin and this might be the straw that breaks the camel ' s back for me .\nbut even though she praises wg , has an opinion regarding gaijin ( even though she doesn ' t play wt ) , i don ' t understand what her intention is . the way she words these reports . . . it makes her look like a wg fangirl .\ni used to do name duty for gaijin ( never had to handle the forums , thank god ) , any person that we saw or was reported for naming their account after an officer or political figure on either side of the war caught a lockout until it was changed .\nactually , the ceo of gaijin is russian , right ? my first language is russian , my second is english , russian doesn ' t typically care about the syntax as you can write a simple phrase in many different ways and it ' ll still make sense , unlike english .\nhowever , confronted with the steamdb entry and its conspicuous set of timings , trifonov chose to stay silent . \u201cwe won\u2019t comment on speculations based on a data from some third - party websites , \u201d he said . on the upside , the war thunder thing never directly affected anybody . that said , gaijin\u2019s intentions here do look a little questionable .\ncrossout is about customization , the freedom to construct the most destructive vehicles to wage war against your enemies ,\nsaid gaijin ceo anton yudintsev .\ntrading , earning or purchasing parts and upgrades for vehicles , survivors can build the perfect fighting machine to their own preference , taking into account how each new addition affects the whole vehicle ' s performance .\nthe problem is that the majoirty of the community never see this information and are in general unthinking acarde sheep who only play the game and dont even care for its development or the attitude of gaijin towards their customers . this helps to fund and reward bad development and treating customers like shit wich is a truly sad achievement for humanity as a whole . . .\n\u201cwe did raise the price for two of our dlcs on steam , but it happened more than a week ago and doesn\u2019t have to do anything with summer sale , \u201d gaijin rep alexander trifonov said . \u201c [ the ] ace pack wasn\u2019t on summer sale neither itself nor a as part of bundle , so we didn\u2019t remove anything and all these false accusations are really frustrating . \u201d\ncurrently , the company\u2019s main project is war thunder \u2014 a cross - platform mmo combat game for pc , playstation 4 , mac os and linux , dedicated to world war ii military aviation , armored vehicles and fleets . war thunder for the playstation 4 is a console launch title , making gaijin the first russian developer to ever have a game featured as a launch title on any console in history .\ni been playing the game since 1 . 25 and been part of the international alpha tester team once . the one thing i like to share about you guys is that , you can ' t believe how small is the development team of war thunder really is . most flight models and data collecting for planes are mostly done by the community not by the official game developers in gaijin , the process of making an historical and non broken flight model is an very long and tedious process specially when most of the developers i seen on the team are rather new and inexperienced currectly that are working on it but even you can contribute and help the developers for finding documents how these planes performed in real life , finding these documents is not an easy task specially for the japanese planes and even the community does the translation work on these documents for gaijin .\nbeyond that , even though i gave feedback and constructive criticism for years , i never had direct run in with gaijin . it was obvious that neither ramjb , nor i , where ever on their good list . our existence as yters was effectively ignored . sidestrafe had support by gaijin initially when he made his first impressions of ground forces , but one or two videos after he made some light ( note : light ! ) criticism of the game , pointing out a few things that need improvement and giving ideas . he lost all support . one day to the other . that leads me to believe , beyond my personal experience , that gj completely disregards you as a yter from the moment you make one single video criticizing the game . that is probably why so many big yters that grew with wt success never gave any . yet , even though also critical , sidestrafe never got dmza ' d by gj .\nreaction guys / gaijin 4koma is an exploitable 4 - pane comic series featuring two photographs of ign employees . the first photo , in which the men appear uninterested , was taken during nintendo ' s 2003 e3 press conference during the announcement of the game pacman vs . . the second photo , in which the same men appear excited , was taken one year later during nintendo ' s e3 press conference during the announcement of the legend of zelda : twilight princess .\ndid you read what they do to the community ? they treat them like idiots , and don ' t even do the basic courtesies that similar f2p games do . dota2 , lol , wot , cs : go all have apis that allow players to analyze gameplay trends . warthunder does not , and not because they do not collect the information ( gaijin has claimed they have\nbalance alerts\nthat trigger when a matchup becomes unbalanced ) , but simply because they choose not to release it .\nyeah , i think that ' s right . his username is\nantonyudintsev\n, too , so even not knowing him personally it ' s a safe guess . i didn ' t mean to imply that i thought he spoke japanese ; i always just assumed the company was called gaijin because they thought it sounded cool . i used it as an example because i speak japanese , and is therefore the only frame of reference i have . i can see where the confusion would come from , though , given the name of the developer .\nhey bud , sorry to inform you but angry joe ' s busy eight out of the seven days of the week . if you ' re trying to reach him directly then you ' re not going to find much luck with him championing your cause . as gaijin ' s a russian developer you ' re going to have even less luck trying to get them to change their ways . they cater to themselves and no one else . it ' s not a new thing what ' s going on with warthunder , and it ' s even less new that humans aren ' t being treated humanely .\ntoday , the company\u2019s main project is war thunder \u2014 a cross -

is an mmo squad based shooter which is built around some of the most important and famous episodes from world war 2 .\nin enlisted , players can experience these famous battles on a massive scale through the real heroes of those encounters - the soldiers . in some modes , players won\u2019t be fighting alone on the battlefield , they will be leading their own squad of ai controlled soldiers , this will grant a unique scale to the combat . engagements with up to hundreds of soldiers fighting simultaneously will be held on different fields of battle with maps up to hundreds of square kilometers .\nthe latest version of the dagor engine is able to calculate huge detailed spaces , dynamic water and skies , while using physically based render .\nteamplay , the correct evaluation of actions with consideration of the current situation on the battlefield , weapon and character capabilities - all of these will be essential parts of enlisted . players will gradually unlock new characters who will all have different playstyles . additional diversity in the battles will also be granted by a wide weaponry selection . just like in a real war , where you rarely can see two absolutely identical rifles - weapons in the enlisted will have their own features and their own history .\npopular world war ii battles will be present in the enlisted in separate campaigns . to re - create each of these battles requires not only the creation of separate content like new locations , characters , weapons and vehicles - it also requires a huge amount of work on creating the game rules and balance in them . this is why each campaign will be developed separately from each other .\nall the screenshots shown here are taken from the pre - alpha version of the game .\nenlisted\n- is a mmo squad based shooter featuring some of the most famous episodes from world war 2 .\nevery battle in ww2 - is actually a separate game .\nenlisted\n- is not a \u201cmixture\u201d of different ww2 ( specific front ) episodes , but separate chapters within certain battles . other online shooters are basically sports - like competitions with one team fighting against the other with the background set or decor of a particular historical period , but it\u2019s not a battle , it has nothing to do with the objectives that soldiers had in real warfare . the desire to actually \u201cwalk in a real soldier\u2019s boots\u201d , to be victorious against the opponent - the opponent being a real person - this is what we as players seek in these games but never find . we want to not only create \u201carenas\u201d for a 15x15 - 30x30 team fight , but create scenarios that have tactics similar to real combat missions . battles involving equal teams in equal conditions are , of course , interesting as a competition . but they do not have the immersion or the thrill of real battle , where balanced forces and symmetrical objectives are unlikely . the other feature of\nenlisted\nis detailed accuracy in every battle . you may be a defender of moscow in the trenches dug around the city , facing advancing enemy tanks and superior forces , with an objective to hold the enemy , to stop the advancing army in its tracks with all the resources you have . your task is not to kill every enemy soldier ; imagine being a member of the landing operation with an objective of capturing a foothold and mounting defenses , making it possible for the main forces to land on the continent , or , on the contrary - defend against the landing party , or lead your troops so that they arrive in time to a strategic point . this is something one can experience in single - player games but not in online game with human opponents . the next important feature of\nenlisted\nis an opportunity to control a military unit in specific scenarios and not a single character . first , you gather your unit and then you play with this unit until you complete your objective or until the last member of this unit of yours dies . we want to make every character and every weapon somewhat unique , similar to how it is done in some action - based tactical games .\nmatch - making on the \u201crating\u201d servers will be based on the player\u2019s rating ( skill ) with an opportunity to make a squad , meaning that you can invite your friends to play in the same team . private rooms ( servers ) will have no rating . we plan to develop an option for the players to create their own scenarios for their private rooms , but at the moment this is not a priority task .\ncurrently we have both . but we think that first person view should be the primary option , in some cases 3rd person is more comfortable , especially for new players , but first person view provides much more immersion .\nthe game will have different scenarios . we have tested battles of 120 - 150 soldiers in one battle and it seems that it will be close to the maximum . greater numbers require another approach to detalization , since it means higher system requirements - at least with this level of detail . however the exact number of actual players in one battle is not yet defined .\nafter all a game is a game , not a reconstruction , a war simulation or economy simulation . we thrive to recreate the feeling from a real battle , how we perceive it and how the people who watch the movies and read the books perceive it . in real life there are many details that are important - such as off - duty life , organizational matters and strategic decisions which do not actually affect the story of a single battle . a war lasts much longer than any battle and combines thousands of details which we do not plan to recreate . we want to create exciting and thrilling combat , to deliver a real feeling of battle , give our players a feeling of being a part of a unit that performs a military task . a computer game with all its conventionalism may provide for better balance : such as faster and more dynamic battles or concentrating on the most interesting aspects of a battle - e . g . a player playing a medic would hardly enjoy gameplay of dragging a wounded fellow soldier for 30 minutes to a field hospital .\nwe plan that there will be different sorts of military vehicles as a part of the scenario for different battles , since they are a very important part of real combat operations and objectives in most episodes from ww2 . player control of vehicles is one of our current development goals .\nthe game requires directx 11 and a 64bit system ( windows 7 or newer ) , we will probably add support for vulkan later on . graphical card minimal requirement is 1gb nvidia 660gt analog from amd or similar . we will try to provide support for older hardware if it\u2019s possible . also , if the community is interested we can possibly release the game for macos .\nthe minimal sum is $ 250 , 000 - it will cover the basic expenses for the content of one campaign . it is not the whole budget of development but achieving this milestone will allow us to bring more people to the team and work on further campaigns and expand the gameplay , such as an opportunity to control vehicles for example . at the same time we will understand what campaign is most interesting for our players so that we can concentrate our efforts on it in the first place , prioritizing the development process .\nwe don\u2019t like the approach when the game is divided into several dlc\u2019s or episodes and is sold via season pass or imposing further additions which is popular at the moment . every player should decide whether he wants to play a certain game and spend his money with an understanding of what he will get . that\u2019s why we have decided to make access to these battles independent of the other - each campaign will be a separate game . however a player who purchased more than one will see them all in the game as selectable chapters . also we do not want to impose micro - transactions as an opportunity to purchase some sort of ingame advantage . a player will have an opportunity to get collectable weapons and characters that are different from the others but do not offer ingame advantage ( which is strange in the first place - a bullet to the head means death for every person after all ) rather providing uniqueness or rarity .\nwe ran a survey and it showed that the vast majority of players prefer a free - 2 - play approach . this has influenced the game development process significantly . such a change in the distribution model also requires a change in the design . this is why it will take us some time to prepare and implement new goals , to adapt them to a new distribution model . what is left unchanged is our course towards wide scale and realism and also the open development of enlisted .\nif pledges exceed $ 1 000 000 we will initiate multiplatform development . every platform launch however primarily depends on the platform holder .\nwe plamn to launch early access in 2018 . before the early access there will be several stages to gather opinions and feedback and to adjust the game balance : closed alpha test , closed beta test and early access on steam . alongside , we\u2019re eager to launch the early access with a quality and feature set as close to the final version as possible . after early access launch there will be only optimization , balance and polishing work . early access will last for a few months ."]}

he formally took over from fidelity legend anthony bolton in april 2014 - his investment experience with the chinese market goes back to 2003 when he began managing the successful fidelity pacific fund , which has a significant exposure to chinese equities .\n\u201cit found nothing was going on , \u201d says bolton . \u201cbut the next day , when an investor tour turned up , everything ramped up and started working again . a day later everything stopped again . \u201d\nit was a hugely popular launch , attracting \u00a3460 million in 2010 from investors fascinated by bolton , a veteran uk and europe fund manager , coming out of retirement to try his hand at investing in china .\nand for new investors wanting to back bolton , it is certainly cheaper to do so today ( the discount is around seven per cent ) than at almost any time in this fund ' s volatile history .\ninvesting against the tide ( anthony bolton ) it ' s one of few books that recounts investing from the perspective of an european fund manager . the book is in form of small , easy to read chapters . there is a summary of all the chapters at the end of the book . it include all the major rules of investing as well as some ideas specific to the author . major ideas from the book include : 1 ) look for anomalies in intrinsic value and market price . 1a ) every stock you own should have thesis . 2 ) look for out of f\nantony bolton ' s \u00a3610m fidelity china special situations trust returned 8 . 42 % in the three months to 31 december , compared to the msci china return of 1 . 5 % , according to latest figures .\npaul bolton , laura murray , judith bass . \u2018school based intervention improves ptsd symptoms in children affected by political violence ( commentary ) . evidence based mental health 10 / 3 / 09 15 : 43 : 34 .\nhe gave as an example a company whose initial public offering document stated that it had 1 , 000 stores . bolton found that was far from the truth . \u2018it seemed to have only 500 , \u2019 he said .\nmuch of the book regards mr bolton ' s wealth of preparation for choosing stocks . one simple takeaway is the necessity of having historical valuation charts that pass through an entire business cycle . ideally , the investor desires a chart of a period longer than 10 years showing the price / earnings ratio or other valuation measure alongside the straightforward share price chart . that ' s important , mr bolton says , because an investor should . . .\nbolton will have plenty of time to compose when he clocks - off for good but he is too captivated by the buzz and energy of china to do so just yet , despite the polarised view on the country .\nnot that bolton is getting too carried away . last year he bought a put option ( a protection against falling share prices ) on the korean kospi stock index to protect against rising tensions between north and south korea .\nmark dampier , head of investment research at hargreaves lansdown , which was among the promoters of the fund , said :\nanthony has had a fantastic career ; he is rightly regarded as one of the best active managers of recent decades . his china fund ' s performance in recent years has tarnished this record slightly , though it has shown signs of recovery in the past year .\nthough nicholls is modest enough to acknowledge the great platform left by bolton \u2013 and that timing has worked in his favour \u2013 there is no doubt that the 49 - year - old australian has licked the trust into good shape .\nunlike bolton , who moved to hong kong to run the trust having spent his life focusing almost exclusively on uk stocks , nicholls has worked most of his life in the far east \u2013 tokyo , singapore and now hong kong .\nwith a small company i could go to a meeting with the management and come out knowing more about that firm than anyone else ,\nmr bolton said .\nthat ' s not possible with a larger business .\nbolton stayed on to stabilise the situation , however , with the nav recovering 13 . 3 % in 2012 and by 35 . 9 % the following year . in 2014 , when nicholls succeeded bolton , the portfolio rose by nearly a third , with dividends included in the total return , and in the following two years advanced 12 . 4 % and 17 . 5 % . in the first five months of 2017 the nav has surged 18 . 7 % .\nknown as the kingmaker in several multibillion pound city deals , bolton shot to fame in 2003 when he orchestrated the sacking of michael green , then chief executive of carlton communications , earning him a title he loathes : the quiet assassin .\nbut bolton had his very own annus horribilis in 2011 and the trust\u2019s value plunged by 30pc . although the trust has held its own over recent months , investors who bought shares exactly two years ago have yet to make a penny .\npaul bolton , wietse a . tol , judith bass . \u2018introduction to special issue : combining qualitative and quantitative research methods to support psychosocial and mental health programmes . \u2019 intervention 2009 , volume 7 , number 3 , page 181 \u2013 186 .\nin 1979 , aged 29 , he was recruited by fidelity , the international fund management group , as one of its first london -

friendly stocks that would benefit . but after an initial surge , which took the share price from \u00a31 to \u00a31 . 25 , his fund fell to a low of 70p , a drop of over 40 % and a significantly worse performance than the china index . in perhaps the most embarrassing failure , one of bolton ' s investments , china integrated energy , lost 90 % of its market value .\naccording to morningstar , that leaves the \u00a31 . 2 billion trust with an annualised three - year return to the end of may of 29 . 6 % . this is a a bit more than the five - year 27 % annualised return which includes some of bolton ' s period in charge .\ninteresting how mark dampier of hargreaves lansdown was dissing the fund prior to launch - headline in moneymarketing :\ndampier repeats concerns over closed - ended launch for fidelity ' s bolton\n. that was before they learned h - l would have their palms crossed with 0 . 5 % commission of course .\naddressing concerns that debt to gdp in china has spiralled to around 230 % , bolton said that most of this was corporate debt , and that the debt had been investment led rather than consumer led , unlike what happened in the west in the run - up to the 2007 - 08 credit crunch .\n\u201cstock markets are like a pendulum , \u201d says bolton . \u201cthey swing from the bottom of a bear market , when investors are very cautious and valuations are low , back up to the middle of the cycle , when stocks are fairly valued , and then to the top , when stocks become overvalued .\nas an investment trust the share price of fcss does not merely reflect the value of the trust ' s underlying holdings . it is a reflection of how the market views the fund and its prospects . and since the fund ' s launch in april 2010 , that sentiment has swung brutally against bolton .\nsuch was his reputation as the manager with the midas touch , he could never under - promise , whether he liked it or not . it was taken as read that following bolton would make you money . it is why tens of thousands of people rushed to snap up shares when the china trust listed in april 2010 .\nbolton makes a valid point . the european trust returned 1 , 802pc - turning \u00a31 , 000 into \u00a319 , 024 - while he was in charge between 1985 and 2002 and was consistently a top performer . it is a track record that gives his loyal band of followers\u2019 hope that he can orchestrate a rescue of his china trust .\nin april 2010 bolton hailed china as the\ninvestment opportunity of the next decade\nbut the performance of the country ' s stock market has been poor almost ever since . the china fund sector is the worst performing of all sectors in the past three years , registering a loss of 0 . 6 % . this compares , for example , with gains of 40 % for uk equity funds , 39 % for us equities and 35 % for european equities .\nworse still is that bolton ' s trust has significantly under - performed many other chinese funds ,\nsaid patrick connolly of advisers chase de vere , adding\nwe never recommended it to our clients .\nlast year bolton said he would extend his time in hong kong in a bid to reverse the losses suffered by small investors in his trust . in recent months , the performance of the trust has improved , rising from a low of 71p in september 2012 and even touched its launch price of 100p before falling back again as markets worldwide have dipped .\nthe blow - up at china integrated energy has not deterred bolton from investing in power companies . he reckons that a difficult time for power companies , which have been unable to pass on rising costs of coal and other raw materials , may now be over . he likes huaneng power international , which he believes will benefit from recent falls in coal prices . he is also investing in what china hopes will be a shale gas revolution akin to that in the us \u2013 but bolton prefers the companies supplying services to the explorers rather than the explorers themselves , investing in anton oilfield services and spt energy group . since october last year , the share price of spt has doubled while anton is up 150 % .\nthis enviable record was tarnished by a weak performance when he launched the fidelity china special situations investment trust in 2010 , but its fortunes are now bouncing back . the portfolio is up by 22pc over the past year , compared with a 9pc fall in the msci china index . mr bolton has written several investment books and will remain an adviser at fidelity .\nii . members present : dean sweet jr . , steve plemmons , mike wood , dan schultz , carl chaffee , nancy hawkins , walter pett ( arrived at 7 : 04 p . m . ) members absent : none staff present : superintendent susan bolton business manager jon pechette high school principal greg wieman middle school principal melody hasselback elementary school principal kathleen senita\na . professional development days superintendent susan bolton presented information regarding professional development days as required and directed by the state , the bath education association contract , federal and / or state program ( s ) or law . b . additional opportunities superintendent bolton mentioned that other opportunities for professional development include curriculum related training at conferences and workshops , professional organization conferences , etc . c . technology - related training technology coordinator doug murphy addressed the technology portion of the professional development . he gave board members copies of pages off the bath community schools ' web site . he pointed out the tuesday afternoon meetings currently running to address problems that staff is having . he stated that he has had up to five teachers stay on tuesdays to attend the workshops .\ninvesting against the tide ( anthony bolton ) it ' s one of few books that recounts investing from the perspective of an european fund manager . the book is in form of small , easy to read chapters . there is a summary of all the chapters at the end of the book . it include all the major rules of investing as well as some ideas specific to the author . major ideas from the book include : 1 ) look for anomalies in intrinsic value and market price . 1a ) every stock you own should have thesis . 2 ) look for out of favor companies . 3 ) takeover targets , recovery stocks might offer value . 4 ) find out the ratios and metric that are relevant for the industry / company . 5 ) think in terms of level of conviction rather in terms of prices , buy / sell in increments . there are many small things that have been touched upon by the author . however , if you had read other books on investing and especially value investing you can skip this one .\nlittle is known of bolton ' s own personal fortune . as an employee , he has shared in the income stream from the funds , which in the case of the china fund is worth around \u00a35 - 6m a year . but his personal wealth is much greater , and tied up in his holdings of ' career shares ' in the group . fidelity is a privately held company , still effectively controlled by the johnson family , who founded the firm in the us in 1949 . bolton joined fidelity ' s uk operation in 1979 , and was among the few senior managers to be invited to buy shares in the company , which will now be worth many millions of pounds . these do not vest in their entirety until the senior manager departs .\nhaving made hay while the chinese sun shined , why do all these pundits and fund managers like bolton now have to rubbish chinese economic prospects - it ' s reminiscent of a certain mr ratner ' s famous statement that the products he sold were c * * p . all business communities have their share of ' great liars ' ( including the uk ' s ) . live with it !\nmuch of the money , annoyingly , goes straight to fidelity , the manager contracted to run the portfolio . in return for - well , what ? fidelity is paid an unusually steep annual management charge ( amc ) of 1 . 5 per cent of the trust ' s assets , plus an additional ( and generous ) performance - related fee . the commission - whether fidelity chooses to pocket it or pass it on elsewhere - comes out of the 1 . 5 per cent amc . turn the clock back to the launch of this investment trust last spring . china was a rather more dazzling investment prospect back then , so interest was high . the portfolio was to be managed by the much - hyped fidelity manager anthony bolton , right . money poured in . it is highly unusual for investment trusts to saddle themselves with the extra expense of commission ( the unit trust industry does it , routinely , which is why ' financial advisers ' tend only to promote unit trusts - and also why cost - conscious investors often prefer investment trusts ) . critics immediately asked : what was the commission for ? fidelity ' s head of retail investments , rob fisher , answered that the commission was to pay intermediaries , such as financial advisers , to give advice . in his view the potent combination of ' star ' bolton and the high - risk chinese asset class could mean that naive investors would get sucked in . the answer , apparently , was to charge these naive investors more . ' we want to ensure a mechanism by which investors can pay for advice , ' said fisher , pictured .\nbolton ' s selections begin with the gorgeous trio soave sia il vento from mozart ' s cosi fan tutte , and end with the act ii love duet between miranda and ferdinand from thomas ades ' opera the tempest . in between he has chosen an extract from the presentation of the silver rose scene from strauss ' der rosenkavalier , part of mahler ' s resurrection symphony , and joni mitchell singing the silky veils of ardor .\nin this account of financial accomplishment , bolton reveals the secrets of his success . it\u2019s not easy constantly to buy low and sell high and this book gives clear directions for doing well in the stock market , and doing well consistently . chapter by chapter investing against the tide shows you how to make the right decisions at the right time and featured key lessons show you how you really can learn from a life running money .\npaul bolton ' s main areas of expertise are program design , implementation , monitoring and evaluation . his work treats all four elements as part of an integrated whole in which applied research methods play a core role . he uses this approach to conduct needs assessments and to plan and evaluate programs with service providers including major ngos . this work has encompassed programs dealing with physical health ( including infectious diseases ) and more recently psychosocial problems in north america , latin america , sub - saharan africa , central and southeast asia , eastern europe , and the caribbean . much of this work has been with refugees and internally displaced persons during the disaster post - emergency phase , persons affected by violence , and other adults and children living in difficult circumstances . dr . bolton has also conducted program evaluations of psychosocial interventions in africa and asia in the form of randomized clinical trials .\nthe poor run has played a key part in bolton\u2019s decision , announced last week , to extend his stay in hong kong until at least 2014 \u2013 he originally said that he would manage the trust until 2013 . but he is adamant that he is not staying on to salvage his reputation \u2013 the cambridge engineering graduate turned an outlay of \u00a31 , 000 into \u00a3148 , 200 during his 27 - year tenure managing fidelity uk special situations fund .\nbolton stuck to his contrarian value approach , thus dodging the tech bubble in the late 1990s . this hurt his returns in the run up to the crash , but greatly enhanced them during the slump . he also controversially but successfully invested in airlines , hotels and insurers after september 11 . but his most famous moment was when he used his shareholding in itv to prevent michael green of carlton communications becoming its chief executive in 2003 , earning him the nickname \u201cthe quiet assassin\u201d .\nc . approval of purchase of bus moved by sweet , supported by pett that the bath community schools board of education adopt the resolution authorizing superintendent susan bolton or her designee to solicit and accept financing bids for the purchase of a bus . aye : wood , pett , schultz , plemmons , sweet , chaffee , hawkins . nay : none . motion carried . vii . adjournment moved by sweet , supported by schultz to adjourn at 9 : 29 p . m . motion carried unanimously .\nshah remains a fan of the banks , arguing they are now well capitalised and well positioned to take advantage of an economic recovery . he has just half the fund bolton ran : the other half was converted into a global special situations fund three years ago and is run by jorma korhonen . the fund is close to the bottom of its sector over three years , with a 12 . 1 % fall in value , but has gained 31 % over the last year , well ahead of rival funds .\neach investment should have a clear , explicable investment thesis , and should only be sold if that thesis has been changed . don ' t sell just because the price has fallen , mr bolton says . at the same time , if information undermines the original thesis , the investor is advised not to stay in it in an attempt to make the money back , to prove the original idea . sell if the thesis has changed , if you find something better , or if the valuation target is hit .\nanother excellent read on money management . bolton ' s style is value - oriented yet acknowledges that unlike private investment companies like berkshire , mutual / hedge funds are measured against the market - - and his style and analytical techniques - - fundamentals with a technical overlay - - reflects this . a few specific comments reflect his bias to fundamental stock picking - - e . g . he finds it easier to manage macro risk via stock selection , rather than blunter instruments . also , he doesn ' t really\nnearly all mr bolton ' s bad investments in this period involved companies with poor balance sheets . it is an area of analysis he feels is underserved by brokers and underestimated by fund managers . investors should consider not just bank debt , the debt profile and the covenants in place , but a company ' s bonds and other liabilities . the author used companywatch ' s ' h ' score ( ' z ' scores and other metrics are available ) to gauge the likelihood of financial distress at a company in question .\nbut the last three months have been kinder to bolton . china special situations ' share price has jumped from 70p in september last year to touch 98p in recent trading , or just a whisker from its 100p initial price three years ago . his biggest holding , tencent , an internet company that has more than 700m active users of its instant messaging service and up to 145m on the system at any one time , has seen its share price rise from hk $ 200 to hk $ 280 over the past year .\nbolton is probably best described as a contrarian value investor , looking out for \u201ccheap\u201d ( trading on a low price / earnings ratio , for example ) , unloved stocks that he believed the market was overly pessimistic about . like peter lynch , who also worked at fidelity , he took a \u201cbottom - up\u201d approach , conducting extensive research on a company\u2019s business model and prospects . he particularly liked small firms , and \u201cturnaround\u201d situations \u2013 troubled stocks where improving performance or skilled new management was not yet being recognised by the market .\nhardly ever would i buy a share where i believed the valuation appeared correct ,\nwrites the ex - fidelity manager . investing in shares that are historically cheap on a certain valuation metric provides a margin of safety , it is argued , against price falls . mr bolton invested on a timeframe of one to two years , and did not have a favourite valuation measure : he would use a range from pe , to price - to - book , to cash flow return on investment , depending on the industry .\nfrom december 1997 to december 2007 , the special situations fund returned 19 . 5 % a year , compared to 13 . 5 % for the ftse ( including dividends ) during the same period \u2013 enough to turn a \u00a310 , 000 investment into more than \u00a31 . 4m . however , his chinese comeback was far less successful . the fund was down 30 % at one point and investors left in droves . bolton blamed poor corporate governance and rampant fraud in china . however , even here he beat the market during his time in charge .\nmr bolton says his ideal number of holdings - were he not compelled to hold more according to the liquidity demands of a large open - ended fund - would have been 50 . this should represent , as far as possible , a ' start from scratch ' portfolio , and each month he would track his conviction for those holdings under headings from ' strong buy ' to ' reduce ' . every quarter , he would review his watchlist of potential buys to explore those where the investment case had strengthened , and cull those where it had weakened ."]}

most cdte solar cells have been deposited on this structure [ 22 ] . whereas metallic substrates can only be used in the substrates structure due to their opacity , polymers may be deposited in both structures , depending on their transparency [ 23 ] .\nat the idtechex show ! europe , silent sensors introduced a new supercapacitor that is very flexible and able to withstand high temperatures , which is necessary for tire manufacture and production .\na promising approach to reach efficiencies of 30 % and above are the multijunction solar cell concepts . the main challenge in that case is the development of highly efficient wide band gap solar cells with both electrical contacts transparent . we are developing tandem solar cells with the novel technology based on trihalide organo - metal perovskite absorber combined with our highly efficient cigs technology . more . . .\nthe university may collect , store and handle personal information about you including but not limited to your name and email address for the sole purpose of allowing you to subscribe to pursuit\u2019s weekly digest of cutting - edge research findings and expert commentary .\nthe si solar cell which has high manufacturing process expenses show delayed commercialization due to difficulties in overcoming its manufacturing cost limitation as si wafer raw material supply shortage intensifies . on the other hand , the conjugated system organic / polymer material based organic solar cell is expected to reduce the manufacturing cost through new processes such as printing process . therefore , the commercialization seems only possible by maximizing the energy conversion efficiency through a development of new conjugation system organic materials with reduced band gap .\nthe most efficient are the perovskite - based cells . the latest of these , with just a few years of research behind them ( see ' catching up ' ) , convert 22 % of incident solar power to electrical power 3 . this is more efficient than solar cells made from multicrystalline silicon . but perovskite cells cannot be rolled out commercially yet because they degrade under high humidity and heat .\nthe technology , comprised of a rugged fabric that houses the lightweight , flexible solar panels , is being marketed in partnership with johnson outdoors , inc . , a recreational product manufacturer . in addition to this commercial version , powerfilm solar has introduced a military version that is ideal for soldiers in the field , especially in remote locations .\nimpact of charge carrier transport and electrode selectivity on the performance of organic solar cells : presentation held at european materials research society , e - mrs fall meeting 2016 , warsaw , poland , september 19 to 22 , 2016 w\u00fcrfel , u . ;

and it\u2019s made from inexpensive and ubiquitous carbon . in addition , a graphene electrode can be just 1 nanometer thick \u2014 a fraction as thick as an ito electrode and a far better match for the thin organic solar cell itself .\na 44 . 4 % seems like a huge improvement over the typical silicon cells used in the market today but one solar cell measures a mere 0 . 165 cm 2 . that ' s where the majority of the problem lies : keeping the efficiency of a solar power cell while increasing its surface area is an engineering project of epic problems . according to the former chair of the uk office for renewable energy , bernie bulkin , scaling copper indium gallium selenide ( cigs ) solar cells to a usable size , for instance , would cost just about a billion dollars .\ned method is a simple , cost - effective and industrially viable process , coupled with its low temperature requirements , making it a potentially viable method for flexible cdte deposition on metallic foils ."]}

founders nihal mehta and deepen shah .\n25 . the shah is building on an already fast - growing economic base . since the mid - 1960s , iran\u2019s\nthe underlying mythology in silicon valley is that almost every problem can be solved . having technology idols like jobs , bezos or musk , who have disrupted multiple industries only serves to deepen our collective resolve to find solutions to all problems .\nis good , android applications are easier to write than iphone apps , and google makes its programmers available , shah said .\n39 . central to the shah\u2019s ambitious plans for iran\u2019s future is the expansion and modernization of the military establishment . believing that iran\u2019s aspirations as a world power must be based on regional military strength , the shah is developing a military force stronger than that\ndeepen holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in commerce from shri bhagawan mahaveer jain college , bangalore and a post graduate diploma in business administration from bangalore university . in his free time , he loves going out on long drives and is very passionate about music .\na . we see little prospect during the next few years for a serious challenge to the shah\u2019s authoritarian control over iran\u2019s internal affairs and programs . nevertheless , the shah\u2019s monopoly of decision - making and his trend toward greater repression of opposition will incur certain political costs :\n1 . in iran today , the state and the shah are virtually one . the shah has succeeded in concentrating power and decision - making firmly in his own hands . in the process , he has removed or neutralized every official who might challenge him and has stifled the capacity of the political system to act without him . thus to understand the iranian political system one must understand the personality and character of the shah himself .\nb . the shah is unlikely to change his course materially ; hence strains within iranian society seem destined to grow as other sectors of life modernize and the pressure for political participation becomes more insistent . in the event of the shah\u2019s early death , competition for power could lead to serious instability .\nand so akbar was born as a lord of conjunction , a sovereign like timur and a messiah like jesus . his hindu queen who had born him sons was declared the \u201cmary of the age . \u201d his sons were tutored by jesuit priests . his court scholars learned latin to deepen their understanding of christian scriptures .\nwhile most media coverage around islam focuses on wars or terrorism , two female singers , falguni shah and emel aykanat , are using music to show a fuller picture .\nin order to deepen my understanding of the development of optometry , i enrolled on a masters module on development management through the open university . coinciding with this , i was exposed to the world of research for the first time during a unesco - sponsored project training teachers and nurses to screen children\u2019s vision in nicaragua , south america .\ntwo child victims of a grenade attack in srinagar are undergoing treatment at the nanavati hospital with the help of superstar shah rukh khan who is bearing the entire cost of treatment .\n, the shah believes he has taken out insurance in the form of economic and political ties and that he can deal effectively with the soviet union on his own under foreseeable circumstances .\n63 . the shah\u2019s primary strategy to assure continuing military supply involves seeking to deepen ties with the us . he hopes by offering lucrative and tempting economic deals to make certain that washington would find it inexpedient to turn down his future requests . he is also actively wooing american educational institutions , at least partly in order to improve iran\u2019s image in the us , and is participating in a series of joint commissions to concert efforts to develop iran in economics , social welfare , and culture . he has long provided important intelligence facilities for use against the\n17 . opposition to the shah and his regime is entrenched among intellectuals . writers , poets , and artists , who traditionally have played an important role in iranian political life , are contributing to the emergence of a class of alienated intellectuals . their demands for political participation and freedom of press and expression have no place in the white revolution . the shah\u2019s style of government forecloses relaxation of police repression and an end to corruption desired by this opposition . educational excellence and administrative efficiency did fall within the shah\u2019s program , but he has deplored the lack of effective action in these fields . student unrest is endemic . there seems almost no chance that the shah\u2019s regime , however successful in material terms , will be able to satisfy these elements . their desire to share political power is more troublesome for the shah than the nationalist demands of reformers of the mossadeq era who have been satisfied merely to participate in the process of economic development .\n41 . these forces can do much of what the shah considers necessary . they are already more than capable of maintaining internal security and of defending iran\u2019s territory against any hostile neighbor but the\nj . while us - iranian relations would come into question if the shah should leave the scene , much of the relationship has become institutionalized to the point where it transcends the shah . power would rest at least initially on a military - bureaucratic coalition , but they would come under increasing pressure and we cannot now foresee the nature of the regime which will ultimately succeed the shah . but even a more extreme regime probably would not immediately seek to restructure the present relationship in drastic ways given the iranians\u2019 view of their interests and the importance of the us connection .\n14 . the most wholehearted backers of the shah are those few thousand who profit personally from close association with the court ; they would also suffer most if the system were eliminated . besides the inner circle of the shah\u2019s principal assistants , this group includes bureaucrats , cronies , hangers - on , and business and professional men whose importance arises from their access to the court advisers .\nzubair , the elder cousin of the children told the magazine , \u201damina keeps asking me if i have spoken with shah rukh and when is he going to take her to meet his daughter .\n23 . the violent removal of the shah would immediately threaten the system . the shah is paying increasing attention to his personal safety . while this makes him more isolated and remote , it heightens the chances that his security forces would detect and forestall an assassination which was part of a comprehensive plot to seize control of the government . on the other hand , the shah\u2019s forces still could not be sure of [ page 355 ] preventing acts by an individual or a handful of plotters willing to sacrifice their lives . if assassins should succeed , the death of the shah would profoundly shake government officials and the public in general . under these conditions the senior generals might feel all the more impelled to band together to act swiftly to preserve the system to which they owe so much . but in time they would probably come under increasing pressure from more nationalistic and more radical elements in the middle and lower ranks . thus the monarchy would face an uncertain future whatever the manner of the present shah\u2019s passing .\n48 . the shah\u2019s preoccupation with keeping ahead of regional rivals raises the question of his intent to develop nuclear weapons . iran is a party to the nuclear non - proliferation treaty and has also proposed a\n21 . the shah\u2019s death by accident or natural causes would be less traumatic for the iranian system than his assassination . there are probably enough persons with a stake in the established order to ensure continuation of the monarchy , at least in the short run . although popular , farah as regent for shah reza would have difficulty in maintaining political stability because of the variety of politicians and military officers jockeying for dominance .\n20 . as a master political strategist , the shah will probably seek new ways to head off growing discontent . he may announce new welfare programs to bring tangible benefits to the masses . he may attempt fur\n43 . the new weapons for this force will cost at least $ 25 billion over the next five years . one of the considerations motivating the rapid buildup is the shah\u2019s desire to avoid future price rises by purchases at today\u2019s lower cost . thanks to the current high oil prices , iran has the funds to purchase the military equipment the shah desires and to set up the factories necessary for the military industry he now envisages .\n, the shah\u2019s brother - in - law and air force chief , would probably be a main prop for the succession , but his relationship with other military officers is not known . while over the years the shah has exerted great care to weed out disloyal elements in the upper ranks of the military establishment , we do not know how the military commanders would act once he is off the scene . among the politicians , prime minister\n8 . cliquishness , personal insecurity , and inertia dominate the iranian bureaucracy . while the shah recognizes that these traits have hampered the implementation of his policies , the administrative transformation mandated by the white revolution has foundered on the shah\u2019s own reluctance to reward individuals who display initiative , efficiency , and judgment . the first requirement of iranian administrators is loyalty ; the higher one climbs up the bureaucratic ladder , the greater the salience of this factor . consequently the higher levels of the bureaucracy have come to be stocked with technocrats and administrators who choose bureaucratic survival over accomplishment . corruption is [ page 351 ] endemic but is no worse than in other countries in the region . bureaucratic inefficiency will delay some of the shah\u2019s programs and to that extent will frustrate the expectations of both the shah and the people . we do not expect significant improvements and the government will face increasing administrative challenges .\n15 . a far larger group\u2014administrators , middle - class professionals and probably even the bulk of the urban lower class\u2014go along with the shah not so much out of conviction but because they have profited from the system and do not see an alternative . unenthusiastic about the shah as a person , many perhaps even unenthusiastic about the monarchy as an institution , most of this group would probably switch loyalties easily as long as they perceived no threat to their personal interests . this lack of enthusiasm leads to considerable passivity , and the services of many upper - class , experienced administrators are denied either by their own choice or by what the shah considers their political unreliability .\n66 . oil policy forms an area where collisions between the shah and the us are all but inevitable . the shah has already proved quite adamant in refusing to cooperate to secure oil price reductions . his interest in receiving the maximum return for oil is so intense that he is likely to continue to take the lead in urging continual increases in oil prices in order to maintain at least the present relative advantage of iranian purchasing power . though he will seek to keep the image of reasonableness and moderation as a bargainer in petroleum matters , the shah will thus be likely to run afoul of us interests in oil questions as he seeks to maximize his income .\ndr ali told \u0091people\u0092 magazine that he knew he could ask the doctors to treat the children for free but there would be plenty of other expenses . \u201cso , i just spoke to shah rukh , \u201d he said .\nfor jahangir painted alongside christ , see koch , \u201cinfluence of the jesuit missions , \u201d 10\u201312 . a painting depicting shah jahan as part of the christian trinity ( see figure 1 ) is discussed in a . azfar moin ,\n67 . the shah\u2019s regional policies also carry risk of conflicting with us interests . this is particularly true of the gulf , where the specter of iranian military power increasingly will alarm iran\u2019s neighbors . thus far , the shah has been relatively judicious in his actions . he has been particularly aware of arab sensitivities in providing troops to assist the sultan of oman , and we would expect him to continue to act with restraint . but the shah has little respect for the capability of the leaders of neighboring arab states . as he boosts his gulf forces and finishes construction of naval facilities over the next few years , the opportunities for falling into more overt rivalry with saudi arabia will grow .\nin the light hovers a dove , the holy ghost , and above the clouds is god the father . in place of the son , though , is shah jahan , rendered in perfect profile , the very form of sovereignty .\n35 . iran\u2019s investment and development strategy will also pose problems for the us . iran is apparently determined to engage in some development whose viability would depend on preferential access to the foreign markets the shah has been seeking . iranian exports to third countries under such conditions might affect competing us exports in the late 1970s or early 1980s ; increased iranian production for domestic consumption will certainly affect certain us exports to iran itself in the longer run . the shah\u2019s strong interest in us government participation or involvement in his commercial relations may raise problems for the us . the shah sees the us government as a guarantor for the performance of the us private sector and could hold washington responsible should us industry not meet his expectations .\ni . the shah\u2019s strategy in dealing with the us is likely to continue to be based on efforts to expand economic ties with the us to offset strains developing from his growing political independence . he provides important intelligence facilities for use against the\nfanbridge : though the underlying processes that run fanbridge are incredibly complex ( you ' d have to talk to deepen to really get a feel for that ) , the musician interface / experience is specifically designed to be as easy to use as possible . we want to save bands time and make their lives easier , not require them to take the time to learn a new system . our philosophy in this regard is that the user interface should require zero learning curve .\n12 . only rough assessments are possible on the extent of support for the shah . opposition sentiments are taboo in public and expressed in private only with great discretion . the bulk of the population , [ page 352 ] mostly peasants , has been traditionally apolitical ; it generally has supported the monarchy as an institution , although not necessarily any specific monarch . the peasants have gained in absolute terms from the reforms , but there is no indication that their higher standard of living has been translated into support for the shah .\n69 . underlying these problems is the dependency of the close us - iranian relationship on the attitudes and perceptions of one man\u2014the shah . this offers the possibility of an erratic course for personal reasons . more important , it raises questions about us - iranian relations if he should leave the scene . there is some reason to believe that over the past two decades much of the relationship has become institutionalized to the point where it transcends the shah . whether or not the shah\u2019s succession arrangements succeed , power will rest at least initially on a coalition of key military officers and establishment bureaucrats . but this coalition would be likely to come under increasing pressure from diverse elements in society , however , and we cannot now foresee the nature of the regime which will ultimately succeed the shah . if a more extreme nationalist regime took charge , it might loosen present close political ties to the west , but probably would not immediately seek to restructure the present relationship in dramatic ways , given the iranians\u2019 view of their interests and the importance of the us connection .\n, appears to have little potential for mobilizing grassroots support for the regime . the shah rejected the previous notion of a loyal opposition as a vehicle for expressing a variety of opinions and thereby has reduced the ability of the system to accommodate differing points of view .\n. elections , parliamentary debate , and shifts of personnel were inconsequential to the actual course of developments . the existence of the loyal opposition , the mardom party , however , provided an appearance of political competition which permitted a number of iranians to rationalize their participation in the shah\u2019s system .\nto manage and control political activity from behind the scenes . in so doing , the shah is counting on the flexible and resilient nature of the iranian social system which has traditionally allowed the ambitious to become influential as long as they played by the rules established by the ruler . but the operation of this system breeds widespread personal insecurity and cynicism which discourage voluntary cooperation and national commitment . as a result , some capable iranians will increasingly be left on the sidelines , benefiting materially from the development process , but assuming no responsibility for the success of the shah\u2019s program .\nwhen nihal mehta launched buzzd with co - founder deepen shah , he believed in the power of the check - in and essentially created an city guide that aggregated check - ins from foursquare , gowalla , and others . but because of the competitive landscape in the location - based network space , buzzd never really took off . so mehta went back to the drawing board , with the hope of creating a service that would combine the element of the check - in he found intriguing with buzzd and advertising and marketing elements ( mehta\u2019s first startup mobile marketing service ipsh ! was sold to omnicom years ago ) . the result , which he calls \u201ca culmination of everything he\u2019s done , \u201d of this is local response , a new web - based tool that allows local businesses to respond to the \u201ccheck - in\u201d on social media sites with marketing campaigns to promote transactions .\nwe have direct access to a lot of the developers who work with platform\nat hackathons and other events , shah said . that means programmers can build relationships , unlike with apple :\nthey threw the sdk out there in hopes developers would latch on to the apple brand name .\nand would probably cooperate in facilitating us political initiatives in middle eastern diplomacy . while over the short term , us and iranian interests are likely to be largely compatible , we can no longer rely on the shah to accommodate us interests in the increasing number of areas where his interests diverge from ours .\n52 . the shah sees the persian gulf as studded with inept backward regimes susceptible to radical subversion . to deal with this danger , he is proposing a regional collective security arrangement . while the shah hopes that saudi or other arab elements will prevent or suppress radical movements on the arabian peninsula , he will be prepared swiftly to deploy iranian forces across the gulf to forestall a radical upset . he would prefer to act in concert with the conservative arab states , or at least on invitation of a beleaguered regime\u2014as in oman\u2014but would not wait for arab agreement if he considered iran\u2019s interests at stake . the shah recognizes arab suspicions and anti - persian sentiment and will seek where possible to avoid an unnecessary confrontation . however , with the 1971 seizure of the tunbs and abu musa islands as a background , iran is likely to take further unilateral action in the gulf if it perceives a protential threat to its regional hegemony .\n5 . in this situation , the shah will not give up his exclusive responsibility for all major and many minor decisions . if anything , this method of operation is likely to become more pronounced . particularly since his celebration of the 2 , 500th anniversary of the persian monarchy , his sense of infallibility has become more apparent and he has become more isolated from opposing views . several recent major decisions appear to have been taken by the shah with little consultation even with his coterie : for example , the creation of a new single - party system , and the agreement with iraq at the expense of the kurds . the shah seems likely to make more decisions without reference to his advisers . while his judgment has proved generally sound thus far , and is likely to continue so , nonetheless , his monopoly of the decision - making process inhibits the development of institutional mechanisms and imposes an even greater burden on his energies and wisdom .\nover at least the next few years . many of the projects on the drawing board probably will be deferred or implemented at a slower pace . military expansion , however , will be largely unaffected by the economic slowdown ; the shah plans purchases abroad averaging about $ 5 billion annually over the next five years .\nin sum , the safavids in their first century were neither a doctrinally shi\u2019i group , nor an anomalous sect on the margins of islam . rather , they were very much a product of their time insofar as they believed that ali had been reborn on earth in the form of their king , shah isma\u2019il .\n44 . to reduce iran\u2019s total dependence on foreign suppliers for the sophisticated weapons systems he desires , the shah wants to coproduce late - model weaponry in iran under license , mostly in conjunction with us firms . coproduction will not significantly lower the cost of these weapons , and is likely to increase it somewhat . the shah , however , believes it will give iran a more dependable source of supply . much of this gain is illusory , however ; components for the more sophisticated items will still have to be imported , though it may be easier to purchase parts on the world market than to procure the entire weapons systems .\nother rulers as well as ministers of the muzaffarids were also referred to and praised by hafez in his po - etry . they include the two nephews of shah \u0161oj\u0101\u02bf : the brothers shah ya\u1e25y\u0101 ( 789 - 95 / 1387 - 93 ; \u1e21ani , i , pp . 371 - 75 ) and shah man\u1e63ur ( 790 - 95 / 1388 - 93 ) . the latter , according to \u1e21ani , held a special place in hafez\u2019s affections ( \u1e21ani , i , pp . 400 - 411 ) . he referred to him in several ghazals and dedicated a famous qa\u1e63ida to him , which in some editions is classified as a ghazal ( jawz\u0101 sa\u1e25ar neh\u0101d \u1e25am\u0101yel bar\u0101bar - am , \u1e35 . ii , qas \u00e1 . , pp . 1039 - 41 ; \u1e21ani , i , pp . 403 - 4 ) . here again , in sharp contrast to the qa\u1e63ida for shah \u0161oj\u0101\u02be , the whole panegyric is in the form of a dialogue with the beloved and the end rhyme terminates in the first person singular . there are also occasional references , and panegyrics , to other rulers of local dynasties of the time , most notably the jalayerids ( qazvini , 1944 , pp . 9 - 10 ; mo\u02bfin , i , pp . 235 - 74 ) .\nf . iran will be prepared to deploy forces unilaterally in order to forestall a radical upset in the gulf . there are also prospects for greater [ page 348 ] cooperation with saudi arabia\u2019s prince fahd and , following iraq\u2019s recent regional overtures , for a reduction in iraqi - iranian hostility . iran\u2019s relations with south asia will remain limited over the short term ; the shah is likely to limit his financial backing for pakistani arms purchases . in the middle east , the shah will probably continue to expand his relations with egypt , and it is becoming less likely that iran would supply israel with oil in the event of resumed hostilities .\n2 . since his earliest years , the shah has been imbued with a sense of specialness . this has been translated into his mission to modernize his country economically and militarily so that he and iran can play a major role in world affairs and dominate the persian gulf . proud of his image as a royal revolutionary , he has been directing the \u201cwhite revolution\u201d for over a decade to transform iran into a modern state . to the shah social justice means primarily closely - supervised economic development to raise the living standards of the masses . he regards iran\u2019s growing prosperity as an essential antidote to pressure for far - reaching political transformation .\n58 . the shah wants iran to be a leading\u2014if not the dominant\u2014power in the indian ocean . seeing india as a major potential rival in this region , he has recently stepped up efforts to improve relations with india in order to reduce the likelihood of friction . iran is seeking raw materials from india and will probably supply a major portion of india\u2019s fuel requirements at manageable prices at least for the next few years . the shah has also begun cultivating conservative , pro - western governments such as australia , new zealand , indonesia , singapore , and south africa , but in low key to avoid irritating the nonaligned states . over the longer term , the shah will work for the elimination of both soviet and us military presence in the indian ocean . while he will tacitly approve a us naval presence as long as the soviets keep naval vessels on station there , we cannot depend on him to provide access to iranian facilities to support fleet units .\n, he has taken out insurance in the form of economic and political ties with the soviet union and does not feel himself directly threatened from that quarter . massive oil revenues give him confidence that he will be able to secure whatever military and industrial equipment he considers necessary . against this backdrop , the shah will seek :\n4 . the shah is a man in a hurry . he is only 55 years old and is in good health . but he appears to fear that unless he impels iran much further along the path of modernization , his successor will be unable to sustain the momentum . his urgency is also stimulated by the conviction that iran must develop before its oil runs out or the value of its oil is undercut by alternative sources of energy . the forced - draft nature of all his projects suggests that he has a deadline in mind . the shah probably wishes , by staying ahead of demands for changes , to move fast enough that when his son comes of age six years hence iran will be at the point of self - sustaining development . this concern may be evidenced in the shah\u2019s remark last year that while the crown prince could do much good as king in the future if he were willing , \u201cwe are fixing things so he can do no harm . \u201d\n10 . the replacement of this structure by a single party last march represents no change in the basic machinery of political decision - making . the creation of the iranian national resurgence party shows that the shah has lost interest in the facade of competitive politics . the new party , run by the old group of politicians headed by\n. indeed , they have a clear edge in military capabilities over all states in the region and could seize and hold any of the smaller ones on the arab littoral of the gulf . but aware of the problems encountered by his expeditionary forces in oman , the shah recognizes that in practice their performance leaves something to be desired .\nlike mrs . shah , ms . aykanat believes that music is one of the best ways to fight prejudices . \u201cif i write a song as a muslim woman , which the people like , i think it is much more complicated for people to hate a culture or a group , if they already know someone they like . \u201d\ng . us - iranian relations are likely to become more difficult in coming years . the shah is seeking to remove both the us and soviet military presence from the persian gulf and the indian ocean and to establish his own regional collective security arrangements in the gulf ; while he will tacitly approve of us naval operations in these waters as long as the\n49 . the shah would like to move toward a position where he could eventually produce nuclear weapons on short notice if he believed it necessary . nevertheless , in view of the difficulties in developing the facilities needed to produce such weapons , he does not seem likely to decide to launch a nuclear weapons program in the near future . we can expect , therefore , that iran over the next decade will make a major effort to acquire facilities and develop the know - how and technology to manufacture nuclear weapons , but without taking a firm decision to undertake actual production . the shah would hope that by avoiding a definite program to produce nuclear weapons he would forestall problems with the us over his nuclear intentions .\n61 . relations with china have been relatively inactive since iran\u2019s recognition of peking in 1971 . both countries share a strong interest in blocking the spread of soviet influence in the middle east and south asia . china has endorsed iran\u2019s military buildup and , apparently at the shah\u2019s behest , terminated its support for the dhofar rebellion . for its part , iran sees china as useful to balance its relations with the soviet union and the us . while we do not envisage a rapid strengthening of sino - iranian relations over the near term , we would expect a growing [ page 365 ] mutuality of interests and a continuation of exchanges of high - level visits including , perhaps , a trip to peking by the shah .\n50 . basing his foreign policy on a historical perspective , the shah is acutely conscious of the contrast between past persian glory and present iranian reality . he sees iran confronted by an untrustworthy soviet union , while he sees the remote bastions of western power in a state of disarray and decay . although he would count on us support in a confrontation with the\npercent below last year\u2019s 6 million barrels per day . although small increases are possible during 1976\u201377 , the longer term outlook is for lower production . accordingly , oil prices take on increasing importance in the shah\u2019s future revenue plans . he will continue to work for higher oil prices , both making bilateral deals and acting through his leading position in the organization of petroleum exporting countries (\n\u201cif there is anything that brings together people and not divide them , it is music , \u201d said mrs . shah , who goes by the name falu . \u201cwhen people of different backgrounds become united by valuing the same ideas , i think it is very easy to fight anything . radicalism and racism can be fought with a message of peace through beautiful music and inspiring lyrics . \u201d\n68 . even the shah\u2019s desires for economic development raise issues that will be troublesome to resolve . for example , his ambition to purchase from the us a large - scale net of nuclear generating plants to supply iran\u2019s future power requirements poses potential problems . for reasons of national pride and to keep his options open , the shah is reluctant to agree to us demands for safeguards for these reactors more stringent than those imposed by iaea ; this reluctance is unlikely to abate . as in other matters , he will seek to hold the executive branch re [ page 367 ] sponsible for bringing the congress along behind this deal with iran . in this situation his nuclear program may become a continuing thorn in us - iranian relations as he presses hard to get these plants on his own terms .\n13 . the major source of strength for the shah has been his military and security forces . the shah takes particular care to keep his officer corps content , mostly through the provision of extensive perquisites such as salaries and housing . however , the increasingly high level of education required by the modernizing of the iranian military forces may affect the political reliability of the officer corps . present commanders , like their civilian counterparts , are selected primarily on the basis of loyalty to the regime . those at the top of the military establishment today are not particularly competent . as better educated officers , who are more likely to have imbibed some of the intellectual dissent of their civilian peers , come into middle - grade positions , it will become more difficult for the top - ranking generals to maintain their present tight control .\ne . the shah is likely to grow increasingly assertive in his foreign policies . he would risk confrontation with the arabs , the west , or even the soviet union in order to assert persian primacy in the gulf or to maintain what he considers a sufficiently high level of oil revenues . although he will remain suspicious of soviet intentions and will continue to rely on the us as the ultimate deterrent to the\nsome equipment if pakistan were threatened by its neighbors , iran would probably not become involved in hostilities in support of islamabad except perhaps in the event of unprovoked indian attack . as for turkey , the shah\u2019s sympathies for its efforts to circumvent the us arms embargo are strong , and he might permit some \u201cleakage\u201d of spares to ankara , but would be circumspect in order to avoid risking relations with the us .\n42 . the shah hopes by acquiring additional quantities of the latest - model weaponry to overcome present deficiencies and keep far ahead of iraq\u2019s continuing military modernization . he plans to expand his armed forces by another 50 , 000 men to nearly 400 , 000 by 1978 . much of this growth is in conventional ground forces , where the scheduled acquisition of over 400 additional helicopters designated for trooplift and attack roles will give the shah a major offensive capability . he will bolster iranian naval power by purchasing the most modern destroyers , additional hovercraft , submarines , and anti - submarine aircraft ; he appears to be preparing eventually to add some type of aircraft carrier to the fleet . by 1980 the iranian air force should have nearly 24 fighter - bomber squadrons of over 400 late -

level political exchange , he believes he has provided strong incentives for soviet cooperation and has thus reduced the soviet threat to manageable proportions for the foreseeable future . indeed , the shah is now confident of his position . he has already forced the soviets to accept large increases in the price of gas and introduced surface - to - air missiles into areas of iraq over which soviet - piloted aircraft were operating . in short , he still considers the us as an ultimate deterrent to the soviets but he no longer feels that a us military presence is currently necessary in the region to protect iran and he believes that he can deal effectively with the soviet union on his own . moscow , for its part , is unlikely to take action in the gulf area which would risk its good relations with iran , and probably sees little alternative but to tolerate the shah\u2019s increasing assertiveness .\nalliance with turkey and pakistan as a useful adjunct to his regional policy . he is concerned about the possibility that pakistan and afghanistan might come to blows over their volatile tribal populations , a conflict he fears would spill over into iran\u2019s tribes as well . he is also mistrustful of the course of indian relations with pakistan . despite his concern , the shah is likely to weigh carefully and limit his financial backing for pakistani arms purchases . while he might provide\nthe assistant chief of staff , intelligence , department of the air force , believes that this estimate overstates the extent and significance of dissent in iran and prejudges the shah\u2019s capacity to effect successful reforms . problems associated with the modernization program in iran are not necessarily unequivocal danger signs for the regime . the country\u2019s economic boom continues to attract many iranian students back from foreign universities and , while they have indeed absorbed the experience of living in non - monarchical societies , the promise of material reward has proven sufficient to deflect the great majority from political opposition . nevertheless , the shah remains cognizant of the need for diffusing political power and responsibility , but he believes that this process must be gradual and need not necessarily reflect western standards or forms of government . whether he can be successful in ensuring the smooth transition from a modernizing autocracy to a bourgeois - nationalist constitutional monarchy must therefore remain an open question . [ footnote in the original . ]\nresolution calling for the establishment of a nuclear weapons free zone in the middle east . but india\u2019s nuclear testing program is probably giving the shah second thoughts about iran\u2019s renunciation of nuclear weapons . moreover , his proposed nuclear power program would give him some of the essential elements needed to develop the weapons . the facilities needed for the domestic production of fissionable material , however , would require extensive foreign assistance . the time required to build and operate these facilities would depend on the\n27 . the shah\u2019s program for rapid development is creating strains within the economy . by far the greatest problem is a shortage of skilled and semi - skilled workers . the shortage is presently about 700 , 000 and rising . introduction of foreign labor , largely from east asia , can fill only a small part of the gap . large numbers would greatly add to housing and food supply problems . the 20 , 000 or so that have arrived are causing resentment among iranians .\n11 . if , as we believe likely , the new party fails to deal with dissent and to provide greater outlets for the demand for political participation , strains within iranian society will increase . the shah is unlikely to act on his declaration that all who do not join the new party should face jail or expulsion from the country . more likely , he will use party membership as just one of the many criteria for allowing participation in the system . he will continue to rely on\n7 . the most important political clique in iran is the coterie of individuals surrounding the shah . this group consists of a dozen old classmates , trusted advisers , loyal military and civilian officials , and relatives . a key figure is empress farah , the mother of and designated regent for 14 - year - old crown prince reza . although the other members of the inner circle remain deferential to the monarch and isolated from the rest of iranian society , the empress , his own private network of informants and consultants , and\nd . by the end of this decade , iran will have acquired a formidable military arsenal capable of projecting significant ground and air forces into the arabian peninsula and south asia and a blue water navy capable of routine operations in the indian ocean . iranian combat effectiveness , however , will remain limited by lack of training and the ability to maintain sophisticated equipment . foreign support , particularly from american technicians , will remain essential to iran\u2019s military establishment for many years . the shah is not likely to seek nuclear weapons in the near future , but he will probably attempt to acquire the necessary technology .\n3 . the shah has no intention of sharing political power . he views iranian politicians as by nature fractious and uncooperative and prefers to work through a small coterie of loyal and tested assistants . his willingness to tolerate limited party competition stemmed from the desire to appease critics in the west and among western - influenced elements of the population . but he has long been mistrustful of the parliamentary process . in his view , representative government is at best a distant goal suited for a successor , although he feels defensive about the anachronistic appearance of absolute monarchy in the last quarter of the 20th century .\n51 . he would accept confrontation with the arabs , the us , or even the soviet union if necessary to assert persian primacy in the gulf or to maintain what he considers a sufficiently high level of oil revenues ; in other matters and areas he is likely to be more cautious . the shah\u2019s past behavior has reflected a relatively realistic appreciation of iran\u2019s capabilities and of the interplay between regional and international power . but as he grows older and more convinced of the soundness of his own judgment and as iran\u2019s military strength increases , he is likely to take greater risks to achieve his ambitions .\nhiten shah , co - founder of two b2b saas companies , crazy egg and kissmetrics was at tradecraft this week and it was incredible hosting him . he is a ball of energy , ideas and advice and an incredible paradox of abilities : someone who is capable of both thinking deeply but acting fast , casual in his demeanour but ferocious in his execution , interested in everyone despite being the most interesting person in the room . i admire his voracious appetite for learning and a key # learninghack that i walked away with is listening to books on audible at 2x speed to amp up my learning velocity ."]}

( included in the package ) .\n\u2022 international reporting \u2013 students will learn how to develop sources , conduct interviews and work with an interpreter , then report on the city around them , publishing their work on a professional - quality website . teaching the course will be a team of veteran journalists who have covered the middle east for years . our faculty includes ilene prusher , a former foreign correspondent with extensive experience covering the israeli - palestinian conflict as well as iraq and afghanistan ; linda gradstein , a longtime national public radio correspondent in jerusalem ; and ricki rosen , a news and feature photographer whose photos have appeared in time magazine and the new york times in her more than 25 years in the region .\nnow the abc has earshot wherein the producers are setting out to provide the audience with a fake revision of history . we must now pretend that the jews have little to do with the the history of the land of israel . what utter codswallop ! the jews were the dispossessed - the jews were not expelled from slavery in egypt , - it was the palestinians , not the palestinian arabs . kings david , solomon , & saul , the sanhedrin , the macabees , jesus - they were not jews , they were arabs - palestinian arabs . masada was a palestinian refugee camp . the qumran dead sea scrolls was actually the palestinian islamist manifesto now adopted by hamas , the jews in exile never said\nnext year in jerusalem\nas part of the seder because their temple holy of holies was there - no it was an act purely to trick the noble palestinian people .\nit is disingenuous in the extreme to imply that a connection of jews with the land of israel is based on a book of fiction ( the bible ) rather than archeological evidence . this is nothing more than another bald attempt at delegitimisation of jews and israel . if picot wants to ignore the dead sea scrolls , the works of josephus , the hebrew insecriptions all over the land , let ignorance reign on this website . but megiddo , beth shean , tell el - ful , and tell beit mirsim , and samaria and tell el - farah ( south ) and tell el - ajjul , at lachish and jericho reveal a different story . what of the neo - assyrian inscriptions of the ninth to seventh centuries b . c . e . mentioning israelite and judaean kings , notably the black obelisk showing the assyrian ruler shalmaneser iii with the israelite king jehu bowing down in front of him ; and the siloam tunnel inscription of the eighth century b . c . e . referring to the creation of the water system of jerusalem under the judaean king hezekiah ( recent thorium - uranium procedures on the plaster of the tunnel has confirmed the dating of the inscription independently ) and tell dan stele of the ninth century b . c . e . that refers to the dynasty of the\nhouse of david\n; and at tell miqne royal dedicatory inscription dating from the second quarter of the seventh century b . c . e . , which refers to two kings of ekron who are also attested in the neo - assyrian annals ? - what of this archeological evidence ? the transparent bigotry of the\nprogressives\nwho inhabit this website is a yawning chasm of emptiness .\nthe first zionist congress was called by theodor herzl as a symbolic parliament for those in sympathy with the implementation of zionist goals . herzl had planned to hold the gathering in munich , but due to local jewish opposition he transferred the gathering to basel , switzerland . the congress took place in the concert hall of the basel municipal casino on august 29 , 1897 .\nthere is some dispute as to the exact number of participants at this first zionist congress , however , the approximate figure is 200 people from seventeen countries , sixty - nine of whom were delegates from various zionist societies and the remainder individual invitees . in attendance were also ten non\u00adjews who were expected to abstain from voting . seventeen women attended the congress , some of them in their own capacity and others who accompanied representatives . while women participated in the first zionist congress , they did not have voting rights . full membership rights were accorded them the following year , at the second zionist congress .\nin the version submitted to the congress on the second day of its deliberations ( august 30 ) by a committee under the chairmanship of max nordau , it was stated :\nthe aim of zionism is to create for the jewish people a home in eretz\u00adisrael secured by law .\nzionism seeks to establish a home for the jewish people in eretz\u00adisrael secured under public law . the congress contemplates the following means to the attainment of this end :\n1 . the promotion by appropriate means of the settlement in eretz - israel of jewish farmers , artisans , and manufacturers . 2 . the organization and uniting of the whole of jewry by means of appropriate institutions , both local and international , in accordance with the laws of each country . 3 . the strengthening and fostering of jewish national sentiment and national consciousness . 4 . preparatory steps toward obtaining the consent of governments , where necessary , in order to reach the goals of zionism .\nat the congress , herzl was elected president of the zionist organization and max nordau one of three vice - presidents . thereafter , the zionist congress met every year ( 1897\u00ad1901 ) , then every second year ( 1903 - 1913 , 1921 - 1939 ) . since world war ii , meetings have been held approximately every four years .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\naliyah toisraelfrom all countries and the effective integration of all immigrants into israeli society .\nstrengthening israel as a jewish , zionist and democratic state and shaping it as an exemplary society with a unique moral and spiritual character , marked by mutual respect for the multi -

access pass to everything local on events , music , restaurants , news and more .\nby 1980 , the writing was on the wall : punk rock might have been making headlines , but it wasn ' t moving units . the industry responded with the skinny tie bands , retroactively labeled new wave , a safer , more accessible take on the back - to - basics energy of punk . the street reacted by buzzing its collective head , throwing out the fashion designers and putting the musicians in the driver ' s seat . the result was a rawer , tougher , more stripped down form of punk known as hardcore . walter schreifels of gorilla biscuits once called it\namerican folk music .\nhere are the 20 best albums of the genre . - nicholas pell\nwith their acclaimed 2000 release relationship of command , texan golden boys at the drive in did the impossible - - they created a crossover hardcore album nearly anyone could enjoy . with trippy , complex guitar work and powerful vocals courtesy of frontman cedric bixler - zavala , relationship of command was the north star for post - hardcore bands that followed . led by single\none armed scissor ,\nwhich received immense mtv and radio play at the time , the album would go on to become one of the year ' s most beloved , in any genre . - zach bourque\nopening with a flute , the chemistry of common life features volatile rockers fucked up pushing punk rock to the limit . antagonistic lyrics (\nit ' s hard enough being born in the first place / who would ever want to be born again ?\n) are combined with nearly 70 ( ! ) instrumental tracks per song , making for one of the most ambitious hardcore records in memory . the toronto natives work even won the 2009 polaris music prize - - the canadian equivalent of the album of the year . - daniel kohn\nguy picciotto fronting rites of spring while ian mackaye manned the production at inner ear studios was kind of like a bizzaro world version of bowie and eno in berlin - - except it was d . c . and there were fewer drugs and the whole world wasn ' t watching . picciotto has repeatedly put the kibosh on the notion that this record was the origin of emo ( or that the genre even ever existed ) , but that ' s beside the point . the record ' s influence is immeasurable , and it endures as a beautiful , screeching time capsule : something real , before everything fugazi . - patrick james\nthe first 20 seconds of the bronx ' s 2003 self - titled debut album will make you want to run through a brick wall . but in a good way . released in a landscape of obnoxious metalcore , the bronx stood out with their simple song structures and high energy , conventional hardcore sound that remains powerful 10 years later . the angeleno natives have since made a name for themselves with notoriously nuts live shows and mariachi music , but their debut release remains their tour de force . - zach bourque\nin the mid - ' 90s , earth crisis were one of the most divisive bands in the land . true straight edge believers adored them , but the more politically correct underground were repulsed by the violence and homophobia associated with the band ' s\nhardline\nfan base , an ultra - militant offshoot of the straight edge movement . ( folks were afraid said fan base was going to come to a gig and beat people up for smoking cigarettes . ) all politics aside , if there ' s a riff heavier than the one on the title track , we haven ' t heard it yet . the opening\nthud - thud\nwill have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up even before the electrifying\nborn addicted ! / beaten and neglected !\nchorus begins . - nicholas pell\nfor a hot minute in the mid - 1990s , bro - cal ( aka huntington beach ) was home to some of hardcore ' s most promising acts . eleven thirty - four didn ' t achieve the notoriety of tsol , straight faced , or ignite , but they crafted bro - cal ' s brightest gem - - reality filter - - with its stirring octave notes , dynamic riffs , countless drum fills , and remarkably light production . it ' s a testament to the potency of matt enright ' s lucid yell that a line like\nopened up and vulnerable , fragile as can be\nhad appeal with those leg - tatted dudes in the pit . - patrick james\nif hardcore has a poet laureate , it ' s sheer terror frontman paul bearer , famous for the line ,\ni can ' t stand living / i can ' t stand you / and i just can ' t hate enough .\na screed against fellow new yorkers warzone from just can ' t hate enough ' s title track , it ' s a chorus that aptly summarizes hardcore ' s attitude . but\nhere to stay\nattacks the entire scene as soft , pretentious and middle class , while\ntwisting and turning\nshowcases riffs as intricate and interesting as anything that swiss metal innovators celtic frost were doing at the time . sheer terror are , as a later album title indicates ,\nugly and proud .\n- nicholas pell\nback in the ' 80s , venice wasn ' t a quirky beach community . it was a dangerous place with its own hardcore scene . suicidal tendencies were the scene ' s flagship band , leading fellow travelers excel , beow\u00fclf and no mercy to the greener pastures of crossover . indeed , suicidal tendencies has been credited by luminaries such as anthrax ' s scott ian with inventing the crossover sound on their self - titled debut , which features the infectiously catchy rant rock classic\ninstitutionalized .\nand the band ' s influence lives on , having later provided a template for the cholo imagery of west side powerviolence bands like despise you and final draft . - nicholas pell\nthe buzzcocks didn ' t influence hardcore much , but they meant a whole lot to gorilla biscuits frontman civ and guitarist walter schreifels . the former scored minor hits during the ' 90s alt rock feeding frenzy , and the latter went on to form post - hardcore heavyweights quicksand and perennial indie rock favorites rival schools . on start today , gorilla biscuits display an appreciation of first - wave pop punk in the framework of second - wave hardcore . the work features gang vocals , melody and more hooks than a tackle box . - nicholas pell\ni against i was made following bad brains ' first break - up and reunion , and served to influence groups as far afield as the beastie boys and sublime , the latter of whom covered bad brains biggest hit\nhouse of suffering\nin their live shows . i against i strays from their previous self - titled tape with a more experimental direction , but it expands their sound the right way . to top it off their singer h . r recorded the vocal track on the album ' s song\nsacred love\nfrom jail . i against i showed the band hitting a pinnacle , which they ( and others ) have long since attempted to match . - juan gutierrez\nthe only studio album by the west l . a . outfit the germs , its title is an acronym for germs incognito , a name they sometimes used because local clubs wanted no part of their violent shows . produced by joan jett , the collection features aggressive riffs and bratty vocals , and has become the unofficial blueprint for west coast hardcore bands . internal strife and singer darby crash ' s suicide ultimately caused the group ' s demise , less than two years after ( gi ) ' s release . - daniel kohn\nthe appeal of hardcore is that it fits blasts of frantic chaos into some fairly conservative song structures ; unlike metal there ' s no proggy fuss . and with the additional rigidity of straight edge , you magnify the tension even more . at times on break down the walls , the drums threaten to gallop away in all directions , and singer ray cappo seems perpetually on the brink of an aneurysm . but the songs always reconcile - - like when the guy who just elbowed you in the pit lifts you up off the ground - - which is why youth of today left such an indelible mark on new york hardcore . - patrick james\nthe age of quarrel is the last great album of hardcore ' s first wave and the opening salvo of its second . there is no band that changed hardcore ' s direction more than the new york - based , hare krishna - influenced ' mags . led by kinetic frontman john\nbloodclot\njoseph and the inimitable harley flanagan - - a man who had a full chest tattoo by the time he was 13 - - cro - mags introduced a metal influence by way of mot\u00f6rhead and tank that provided the template for post - 1986 hardcore . they were also , notably , the first band to have a video on mtv featuring moshing and stage diving . later efforts never quite measured up , but their debut is the most furious half hour on wax since damaged . - nicholas pell\nif 1982 was the year of hardcore ' s zenith , 1986 was the year crossover crested . crossover was an attempt by marketing geniuses to get punk to sell by making it more metallic , appealing simultaneously to punks , skins and headbangers . the attempt fell flat , but resulted in some killer records , like agnostic front ' s sophomore effort cause for alarm , which came out in ' 86 . featuring early masterpieces by late type o negative front man peter steele (\nthe eliminator\n,\ngrowing concern\nand\ntoxic shock\n) paired with roger miret ' s frantic vocals and alex kinon ' s guitar heroics , the result is a perfect union . - nicholas pell\novershadowed by black flag , double nickels on the dime was nonetheless released to critical acclaim by san pedro natives the minutemen . recorded in venice , it showcases mike watt - - the godfather of l . a . ' s funky bass sound in punk , who has gone on to work with folks including nirvana , the red hot chili peppers , and iggy pop . minutemen ' s song\ncorona\nfinally broke big due to jackass , but it was d . boon ' s political lyrics , driving guitar riffs , and george hurley ' s frantic drumming that make double nickels on the dime hardcore perfection . - juan gutierrez\nwashington d . c . ' s bad brains have the distinction of bridging punk to hardcore by way of mind - bending free jazz . just before they released this self - titled tape ( it didn ' t come out on vinyl until later ) punk had been in need of a reboot and an good infusion of real ire , in the face of new wave and all that poppy pap . what came out of the tape , was a hardened core , if you will . hr and company may have\nlearned\npunk from ocean - crossing brits , but they rebuilt the whole fucking thing with over - clocked powertools and started something new ; something more furious than the angriest of angry kids had ever seen . cores do not get any harder than\npay to cum .\n- paul t . bradley\nhardcore , despite its outward aggression , is ultimately about positivity . it ' s about finding yourself in a world of shit ( namely reagan - era suburbia ) and trying to make something out of it . reno , nevada ' s 7 seconds wrote the book on positive hardcore and that book is called the crew . frontman kevin seconds ' soaring vocals created melodic hardcore that doesn ' t lose its edge . in 2013 , denouncing violence and promoting scene unity is old hat , but in 1984 , 7 seconds offered a glimmer of hope to kids who loved hardcore ' s energy but bristled at its factionalism and fighting . - nicholas pell\nsure , it ' s not technically an album , but there is nonetheless no better introduction to the genre of hardcore than minor threat ' s complete discography . so fast , so tight , so righteous , so young : ian mackaye , brian baker , and co put d . c . hardcore on the map and established an ethos or two ( straight edge , diy ) , all while being flat out better than their contemporaries . that minor threat ' s entire body of work fits on one cd doesn ' t diminish its significance ; even today , it ' s still perfectly out of step ( with the world ) . - patrick james\nall - access pass to the top stories , events and offers around town .\nboarding house reach : jack white ' s new solo album is out now .\nsawtooth : jonny l ' s drum & bass classic gets a 20th anniversary reissue .\ntomorrow ' s modern boxes : thom yorke ' s 2014 solo album is reissued .\nthe lost tape : history has been revealed . watch the story behind kurupt fm ' s legendary tape .\nmountains of gold : richard russell ' s everything is recorded ft . sampha , ibeyi , wiki & kamasi washington\nclose but not quite : watch the new video from everything is recorded and sampha .\nman of war : a new video from radiohead . oknotok is out tomorrow .\nlike this video ?

volume grocery items . the location and size of our distribution facilities have grown through the years to serve the needs of more and more customers shopping at an expanding array of stores . owning and operating our own distribution facilities enables us to provide better service when it comes to delivering the products our customers want when they want them .\n1970 was a year of growth ! schnucks opened a new grocery warehouse facility with the capacity to handle future growth . later that year , that growth occurred more rapidly than anticipated when schnucks acquired the bettendorf -

cutting plan that included large bouts of lay - offs in 1990 and 1991 , in order to make up for the deteriorating market conditions in the united states , as well as in some european markets . sales for esselte pendaflex dropped off steeply between 1989 and 1990 , and revenue remained relatively static over the next few years . operating income also shrank drastically between 1989 and 1990 , and in 1993 the company posted a loss .\nthe company ' s difficulties were attributed in part to changes in the north american office supply market overall . distribution became more concentrated as stores consolidated through mergers and acquisitions and new superstores became more important players . competition was intense between the large distributors , and prices overall were forced down . by 1993 , esselte pendaflex had a smaller pool of customers than in past years , though the customers on the whole were larger . another change in the market lay in the declining number of white collar workers within major corporations . and though more people were working from their homes , with an estimated 39 million home offices in 1992 , this did not altogether offset the loss of corporate workers .\nesselte pendaflex was aware of these changing conditions and took steps to keep pace . however , the company ' s operating costs were very high in the early 1990s , and many of its products had low profit margins . this led to a disappointing drop in income . the company appointed a new divisional president in april 1993 , alan wood . his mission was to reorganize the company for cost efficiency . esselte pendaflex expected to make major transitions through 1993 and 1994 . despite recent changes in the market , the company still saw opportunity for growth and predicted improved profitability over the coming years .\ndullforce , william ,\nesselte buys control of oxford pendaflex ,\nfinancial times , march 31 , 1976 , p . 28 .\nesselte ab subsidiary sets $ 40 million offer for boorum & pease ,\nwall street journal , june 28 , 1985 , p . 26 .\nesselte ab ,\nwall street journal , june 26 , 1991 , p . a6 .\nesselte business systems inc . ,\nbarron ' s , february 22 , 1988 , p . 56 .\nesselte business systems inc . ,\nwall street journal , may 4 , 1988 , p . 30 .\nesselte business systems lifts initial issue to 3 million shares ,\nwall street journal , august 22 , 1984 , p . 38 .\noxford pendaflex merger pact signed ,\njournal of commerce , march 31 , 1976 , p . 4 .\nshipper profiles : esselte pendaflex corp . ,\nglobal trade , october 1991 , p . 40 .\nsweden ' s esselte ab to buy remainder of its u . s . subsidiary ,\nwall street journal , november 9 , 1989 , p . a8 .\nsource : international directory of company histories , vol . 11 . st . james press , 1995 .\ncan ' t find a community you love ? create your own and start something epic .\naccess data on u . s . ocean freight imports from the last 3 months for all companies\nyou ' ll have access to data from the previous 6 -

working space in wan chai and has assigned its own staff as mentors to 10 participants . companies such as tofupay ( a service that aims to make online transactions cheaper and easier for merchants in the region ) and superfluid ( a kenyan start - up offering a financial management app and analytics platform that helps businesses mine consumer data ) are among those that have been selected from more than 140 applicants in more than 30 countries .\nthrough the programme , the singapore bank hopes to find new ideas on how technology can improve financial services and how to become more creative and quicker on its feet . it owns no stake in the companies and has no exclusive right to use their products .\nstill , david lynch , the bank ' s head of technology and operations for hong kong and the mainland , says it ' s either this or dbs will become irrelevant and replaceable .\nbarriers to entry have become lower , he says , as we see internet companies such as alibaba and tencent breaking into the mainland ' s fiercely regulated banking market .\nthis new wave of competition is coming from nimble , innovative , cloud - and mobile - first start - ups as well as the large technology players largely unencumbered by policy and regulation . we can passively observe and risk seeing large parts of our business lost to these new entrants . we have chosen instead to actively participate in the creation of a new financial technology ecosystem that will ultimately help us to deliver better service to our customers ,\nhe says .\na growing body of research reminds corporate behemoths that they should watch out for those little upstarts , including the oft - cited findings by richard foster at the yale school of management that , on average , 75 per cent of s & p 500 companies will be replaced by new companies by 2027 .\nanother company that wants to learn from start - ups is aia , the hong kong - based life insurer . sim preston , chief operations officer , says running an accelerator for start - ups that make hi - tech health products is part of efforts to transform the company ' s image after it split from aig in 2009 .\nit is a way to get the aia name out there , tell people we are not a stodgy insurance company ,\nhe says .\nit also hopes to encourage its 21 , 000 employees across asia to become more creative and to be willing to take more risks when suggesting new ideas . like dbs , aia has no claim on the companies that have taken part in its accelerator since march 2015 .\none graduate of aia ' s first accelerator programme is simple wearables , a hong kong - based health tech company co - founded by angelo umali and edwin li . the pair have created prototypes for a discreet , brooch - like alert device that can detect when wearers , mainly the elderly , have taken a fall , and notify family members or emergency contacts .\npreston says such a device can help people live healthier lives and aia will have first - mover advantage in offering those products to its policyholders .\nby using these products , we will end up paying out for fewer claims and can charge lower premiums . in the long run , that ' s better for our bottom line ,\nhe says .\nall start -

ups and to be able to make use of new technology ahead of its rivals , is also doing this to make taikoo place more diversified and attractive to traditional tenants .\nthere was no start - up scene in the area before blueprint came along , says buultjens , and some of swire ' s tenants are very keen to work with fast - growing technology companies . among them is bird & bird , a global technology - focused law firm based in taikoo place that is now offering free advice to the accelerator participants .\none beneficiary is richard hanson , 31 , co -

ups gain traction because they have invested in them and want to make money .\none of the benefits of an accelerator is that it puts pressure on the entrepreneur . but if the backer owns no equity stake , then how much pressure can you apply ?\nsimilarly , when the big company has nothing to lose , it will be difficult to convince staff members - often not used to looking beyond the immediate objectives of their own departments - to truly get involved in the projects , he says .\nhe also doesn ' t see an urgent need for more accelerators , when young companies are still enjoying unprecedented access to capital after rounds of quantitative easing .\neveryone ' s a venture capitalist these days . everyone is looking for something to invest in ,\ndemopoulos says .\ntoday , a company with a great product will be snapped up by investors or clients , whether they are in an accelerator or not .\nthere are probably more accelerators than grade -

based solutions . cloud continued to be the fastest growing part of the business with 90 percent of all new customers choosing cloud solutions .\nbut i digress . to try to get around ibm ' s blockade , kronos programmed an early microcomputer to poll our clocks . it was an altos , running the cp / m operating system . we ' d walk into a data processing manager ' s office , and say enthusiastically ,\nyou can poll the clock with this\n: crazy eddie ' s actual name was eddie antar . in 1990 , years after he started buying kronos timeclocks , he was charged with securities fraud , and fled to israel under an assumed name . but in june of 1992 , he was arrested near tel aviv , and subsequently extradited to the us to stand trial . [\naccording to rob garf of amr research ,\nkronos has taken a significant step toward a holistic hcm approach - - helping companies acquire , manage , and measure employees in a single application and workflow . its demand - driven workforce management message is strides ahead now with unicru , as it has the tools to respond to demand for new workers .\nkronos had net revenues of $ 92 . 9 million in fiscal 1994 and $ 120 . 4 million in fiscal 1995 . net income came to $ 4 . 9 million and $ 8 . 4 million , respectively . in fiscal 1996 the results were even better : $ 148 million and $ 11 . 4 million , respectively . in january 1995 the company adopted a shareholder - rights plan to defend against a hostile takeover . shares of its common stock traded for as high as $ 50 during the year . ain held 6 . 4 percent of the stock in 1995 ; institutions held 83 percent of the company ' s common stock in 1996 . kronos had no long - term debt in june 1996 .\nkronos ' services and products deal with time and attendance , scheduling , absence management , hr and payroll , hiring , and labor analytics . the company has broadened its service offerings and developed web - based versions of its software , responding to the general trend in the software market of companies offering clients the choice of both installed and hosted subscription versions of their products .\nmark ' s visionary thinking and inspiring leadership have been instrumental in building kronos into one of the best performing companies in the history of the software industry ,\nsaid aron ain .\nwe are very pleased that mark will remain part of the company ' s leadership , so that we will continue to benefit from his advice , counsel , and far - reaching industry influence .\ni went right to work where i work today . this is my 38th year at kronos . i was one of the first employees , but the company was started by my brother and two other founders . i just worked my way up . in the beginning , i did everything \u2014 cleaned the bathrooms , answered the phones , sold what we sold , and installed what we sold .\nbut i digress . from day one , kronos always intended its clocks to communicate with a customer ' s payroll processing computer , but that was harder than you might think . the early 1980 ' s were the dawn of the personal computer age . the ibm pc had not even been conceived of . payroll processing was done on million - dollar mainframe computers ; largely made by ibm . ibm\nnow , more than ever , it ' s becoming important for kronos employees to have a world - wide outlook . so everyone , after you ' ve studied our next 17 product releases , and mastered three - tier client / server architecture , learn french and spanish . how hard can it be , anyway ? they ' re both romance languages . look at a sample word : english ,\nbut you should have seen the look of astonishment on the face of craig deeb , of marriott , the day he walked into the old kronos building . his jaw really dropped as he tripped over the carpet . pat had evidently managed to convey the image of a much larger , established company to craig . craig stuck with us , though , to the tune of 1 . 5 million dollars .\nthen there was the infamous datasaver , a device which could be hot - plugged into a powered - up clock to save the contents of its memory . the datasaver was the kronos version of russian roulette . plugging in a datasaver was a little like getting rear - ended in a pinto ; you might be uneventfully protected by the rear bumper , or you might be incinerated in a spectacular fireball .\nwhen we founded kronos four decades ago , we had a vision of revolutionizing how organizations pay their employees . wow \u2013 how far we have come , now with tens of thousands of organizations \u2013 and more than 40 million people using our products every day in more than 100 countries . this amazing company has far surpassed our initial vision , thanks to our incredible kronites , customers , and partners .\nkronos , with its more than 4 , 000 employees ( as of august 2015 ) , serves organizations from a variety of industries and sectors , including : business services , education , energy , financial services , government , health care , hospitality , logistics , manufacturing , public safety , and retail markets . the company claimed that over 35 million people around the world used its services every day in 2015 .\nin 2012 , kronos expanded its health care portfolio with the purchase of portland , oregon - based optilink , a provider of staff management software used by nursing departments . optilink ' s customers include seton healthcare and intermountain health care . also that year it acquired saashr . com , and its parent webapps , inc . , which offers cloud - based workforce management software for small and mid - sized businesses .\noriginally offered for $ 12 a share , kronos stock traded as high as $ 24 in 1992 . the underwriter estimated that kronos had great potential for growth because only an estimated 15 percent of the 650 , 000 u . s . businesses with 25 or more hourly employees were operating with computerized time clocks . the company posted revenues of $ 58 . 1 million ( about 10 percent from international operations ) and net income of $ 3 . 6 million in fiscal 1992 . ain told a wall street journal reporter that sales had remained strong despite the recession of the early 1990s because\nwe tend to get big orders when a company gets in trouble , because that ' s when they want to control costs . we received four or five big orders the last two years from companies that had just filed bankruptcy .\npat once confided to me that an advantage early in his career prior to kronos was that he always looked a little older and more mature than he actually was . do you know that even now , he ' s only 29 ? i have to be careful what jokes i make about pat , because he ' s president now . so , i ' d better not mention that incident with the goat .\nfortunately , mark knew that crazy eddie used this line in radio ads for his chain of discount electronics stores in new york , and that it wasn ' t just someone who forgot to take his lithium . eddie wanted to buy some timeclocks directly from kronos corporate . mark told him this was impossible ; he ' d have to buy from our exclusive dealer in new york , interboro . eddie replied grandly ,"]}

= quality , many stylists that graduates from famous fashion studio failed to deliver because of their ego and lack of communication , understanding of the customer , which happens to be ben ' s strength . now i finally find ben here and i have nothing to worry when he is dealing with my hair . did i mention ben also does top class head massage ?\ni have been going to ben for a little more than a year now . he is probably one of the most skilled hair stylist i met in the bay area . after i moved from ny to the bay area , i couldn ' t find a stylist who was consistent in terms of working with my hair with reasonable price . before ben , i used to go to japan town for hair cut but even so , my hair didn ' t always come out what i wanted and i paid much more . one day i saw someone mentioned knack studio 18 on facebook and i decided to give it a try . i felt a little skeptical at first thinking it was probably one of his friends recommending him online when the store first open , but i am glad i made the trip . i have since then become his regular customer and so does my husband . he is honest and friendly . i highly recommend him !\ntheme :\natonement .\nimage from best film ( re ) moved .\nthursday - what remains - t . j . myers , tim oman , katherine norland\nhere are the films that screened at the 11th annual 168 film festival . all films these films and more can be screened online with a paid membership .\nconsumer alert : be aware of misleading letters asking for money from your business . see our news release for more information .\ngoverning person addresses are not available for the following entity types : wa association under fish marketing act , miscellaneous and mutual , public benefit corporation , non - profit corporation , non - profit professional service corporation , bank corporation , limited liability company , professional limited liability company , unregistered corporation , limited liability partnership , corporation sole , credit union , fraternal building association , fraternal society , grange , military corporation , savings and loan association , joint municipal utility service , limited partnership , insurance company , limited liability limited partnership .\nneither the state of washington nor any agency , officer , or employee of the state of washington warrants the accuracy , reliability , or timeliness of any information in the public access system and shall not be liable for any losses caused by such reliance on the accuracy , reliability , or timeliness of such information . while every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information , portions may be incorrect or not current . any person or entity who relies on information obtained from the system does so at his or her own risk .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken\nwe do all of our service work in - house . our volunteers and staff essentially work with nonprofits to identify goals , demographics , etc . and then they go \u201cinto the field\u201d and capture the stories as it happens . sort of \u201cmini - documentary\u201d style .\nless than halfway down the portfolio page , my eye fell upon a clip for the mom & me mobile clinic , most likely because i am a mother to two daughters . this nonprofit needed a video to communicate to the world who they are and what they do . because this clinic is engaged in some seriously life - changing work that impacts entire families and futures . within the walls of a bright yellow truck that is equipped with all of the necessities , the clinic provides free medical services and treatment to mothers , fathers , and children . dale clark , their executive director , sets the stage with his own powerful story in the form of a memory .\nthe mom & me mobile clinic and their dedicated staff not only offer a convenient and quality space to feel healthy and safe , but they offer families hope . they are very special , so check out their short video , which , in a span of less than three and a half minutes , sheds some light on their identity and mission .\nwow !

music is an outlet of reality and the different delusions and emotions of life , therefore it should be free and abstract .\nthe amazing thing was the strings we used then , as the rookies band which i was a member , we have settled with our mandorias string . in fact music stores then only sell either mandorias or other local pinoy string instruments we had . and the early years once would noticed that the strings get rusted easily . in our case , we were the only group in the philippines that started using a thumb pick because our lead guitarist was already playing chet atkins - style .\naunt irma : genaro ( gin ) go\u00f1i , renato ( nato ) cornejo and jaime ( jim ) sarthou . other members included on guitar\nsonny\npeckson ( later to become\nlittle rock\nof dzrj ) , uly avante on drums , sam sen on bass and nitto palacios who later managed advent call .\nheavy traffic : + jun atad ( frontman & ex - member of famous rock band 70s horoscope band ) , tutay maranan ( lead guitarist ) , steve maranan ( bass ) , gerry rejuso ( keyboards , ex - member of horoscope ) , amee maranan ( drums ) and nestor ( 2nd lead guitarist & vocal ) ."]}

sinclair broadcast group , another baltimore - based firm ; and cornerstone television , a christian television network based in pittsburgh . after a two - year process , the auction ended with brunson winning a construction permit in february 1986 . during the interim , cornerstone purchased channel 48 ' s transmitter , moved it to altoona , and used it to sign on a new station in 1985 on channel 47 , ironically enough under the wkbs - tv call letters .\na wgtw - tv logo , circa 2003 ( taken from the station ' s now - defunct website ) .\nchannel 48 signed back on the air on august 15 , 1992 , under the call letters wgtw - tv , an independent station . initially the station ran public domain movies , infomercials ( including religious programs ) , and home - shopping programs . by 1994 , wgtw had a larger variety of programming , including off - network series , first - run syndicated shows , and children ' s programs . the station also aired nbc daytime programs that were pre - empted by then - affiliate kyw - tv ( channel 3 ) .\nby 2001 , however , wgtw found its programming choices significantly reduced . all six network stations in the market were now owned - and - operated stations of their respective networks , and hence no longer pre - empted network programming . in addition to the rise of upn and the wb locally on wpsg and wphl - tv , the non - talk and court show programming on the syndication market significantly dwindled . there simply wasn ' t enough programming to go around , even for a market as large as philadelphia . it was also hamstrung by financial issues , resulting in the station filling most of its broadcast day with paid programming to maintain operations .\nin 2004 , tbn was looking to acquire stations in major markets as part of a larger strategy of purchasing full - power stations to acquire compulsory must - carry carriage on that market ' s cable systems . tbn offered to purchase wgtw from brunson , an offer that was accepted . on october 1 , 2004 , the sale was closed and tbn took over all operations of the station . since then , wgtw has mostly been a simulcast of the tbn national feed . however , it airs two hours of weekly locally - originated programming . it also produces a public affairs show called joy in our town and a local version of praise the lord , tbn ' s flagship show . the latter two programs are recorded at wgtw ' s studio facilities in folcroft , north of philadelphia international airport across darby creek .\nin 2002 , wgtw launched an hour - long news and public affairs show , known as 48 update , which aired weeknights at 7 : 00 p . m . the final edition of 48 update aired on october 1 , 2004 , one hour before the station switched to tbn programming .\nwgtw operates under the same allocation , or place on the tv broadcast spectrum , as wkbs - tv , but not under the same license . although brunson did purchase the same license that wkbs - tv vacated from the fcc , wkbs ' license expired on june 1 , 1984 , and was never renewed . the current channel 48 license is a new construction permit for wgtw , dating from july 14 , 1988 .

bearers . had it succeeded perfectly , sauron would have achieved dominance over the elves with no military action required . however , for this plan to be successful the ruling ring would have to be significantly stronger than the other rings , and sauron put a great amount of his own power into the ring in order to achieve this . as the ruling ring , it had all the powers of the other rings , but to a far greater extent , and had some powers uniquely its own . while sauron ' s plan didn ' t succeed perfectly , the existence of the one ring on his finger meant that the other rings , with which many kingdoms had been built , could not be used safely . additionally , intentionally or not , sauron ' s personal power was greatly enhanced so long as he wore the ring , giving him military might the likes of which he could never have otherwise achieved .\nthe rook is a custom built critical incident vehicle , fabricated by ring power corporation . it uses a cat 287c multi -

galad , who later gave it to c\u00edrdan and then to gandalf ; nenya : ring of adamant , worn by galadriel ; and vilya : ring of air , borne first by gil - galad , who later gave it to elrond . they remained hidden , and the whereabouts of the three were not openly revealed until the end of the third age , after the one ring was destroyed , and the dark lord sauron was overthrown . these rings are invisible instead of making the wearer invisible . galadriel revealed her possession of one of the rings to frodo while he was in lothl\u00f3rien after he saw her ring . this is because of his possession of the one ring . later , while traveling down the river anduin , frodo spoke of it to aragorn , who admonished him not to speak of it outside of l\u00f3rien .\nthe rings of power were twenty magical rings forged in the second age , intended by sauron to seduce the rulers of middle - earth to evil . nineteen of these rings were made by the elven - smiths of eregion , led by celebrimbor . these were grouped into three rings for the elves , seven rings for the dwarves , and nine rings for men . one additional ring , the one ring , was forged by sauron himself at mount doom . the nineteen lesser rings were linked somehow to the power of the one , and were dependent on it . their wielders could be controlled by the wielder of the one , and if the one was destroyed , their own powers would fade .\nthis corporate empire of three city -

effect of the rings ' power , as sauron originally intended for all the rings to be worn by elves , who were immortal to begin with . the individual who kept the ring would not grow or obtain more life , however ; they would merely continue until living became unendurable . bilbo baggins stated near the end of his time possessing the one that he was beginning to feel\nthin and stretched\n, a sign that this process was beginning to affect him .\nin the extended edition of the hobbit : the battle of five armies , gandalf ' s ownership of one of the three is revealed while he is being tortured by bolg , but he is rescued before the ring can be taken from him .\nthe first in this year -

( see the top iphone applications . )\nraj vemulapalli , who was the head of engineering and one of the founding engineers at yahoo ! is on the tigertext board . raj spent 11 years making yahoo ! messenger and yahoo ! mobile messaging the # 1 messaging tools in the united states and # 2 in the world with a reach of 280 + million active users and $ 150 + million in annual revenues . [ 9 ]\ncalled , coincidentally enough , tigertext , it allows users to set a time limit for a sent text to hang around after it has been read . when that life span has been exceeded , the message will disappear , from the recipient ' s phone , the sender ' s phone and any servers . the message cannot be forwarded anywhere , stored anywhere or sold to any tabloid for an undisclosed sum .\nsetting aside the numerous puns tigertext calls to mind \u2014 the company settled on the name before the scandal broke \u2014 the application grants peace of mind to every person who has sent a message and later regretted it . while speaking with time , founder jeffrey evans commented ,\npeople text like they talk . and some of the things they say , taken out of context , can come back to haunt them

practice with access to a smartphone or a computer to get up and running in under a minute . in a blog post this morning , brooks gave some examples of the way that a few of the 3 , 000 healthcare facilities that have deployed tigertext are using the system to improve their business .\ntigerflow combines its mobile communications platform with data integration capabilities , end - to - end

, the dominant social network .\nwhisper , currently available only for apple inc . \u2019s ios devices , works as both a browsing and creation app . once a message is posted , people can either respond with another message or send a direct private communication for a small fee .\nthe only identifying mark on each confession is an optional location tag that gives a general idea of where the user is when posting the message .\nthese location tags are what creates whisper\u2019s community feel . people on a college campus can sort through nearby messages from fellow students , and thanks to an aggressive marketing push , facebook fan pages showing whisper posts have popped up for nearly every major college .\nthat reliance on facebook to build the community is what keeps whisper from

trap . the little bar sits directly across the road from the large estate of the abbey of our lady of the sacred heart in the village of westmalle . it\u2019s the property of the monks , the only caf\u00e9 they own . the bus stop outside the caf\u00e9 is simply called \u201cabdij\u201d ( abbey ) .\nbut despite the prominence of beer in the trappist community , it is important to note that monks always put religion first over everything else\u2013even beer . in other words , it\u2019s always \u201can abbey with a brewery , and not the other way around . \u201d the beers being made in trappist breweries are intended to nourish the trappists and their visitors , and also support the financial needs of the monastery and its charitable efforts .\n\u201cif any other trappist brewery asked assistance of our lab we would give it to them , \u201d van assche says . \u201cour working relationship with achel , for instance , is very concrete . westvleteren uses our yeast . if you go to the walloon trappist abbeys , you would find out that orval and chimay will help rochefort . the smaller breweries are helped by the bigger ones because we are more equipped with our tools . \u201d\nmost of westmalle\u2019s production\u2014nearly 70 % of it\u2014stays in belgium . the netherlands gets 25 % , and what\u2019s left goes to france , the uk , the u . s . , and japan . the growth in awareness of \u201cbrand trappist\u201d and the explosion in the beer market globally in the last five years have presented challenges to the monks that could not have been previously foreseen .\nthe tripel emerged as a strong pale top - fermented beer that would compete with the influx of pilsner - style lagers into belgium from germany . the naming convention is born from the additional amounts of raw ingredients used in comparison to other beers being brewed at the time although the word tripel wasn ' t always used in belgium for beers similar to the type westmalle would create .\nthe cafe trappisten is one such place with the westmalle dubbel available on draft , and also serves the tripel and a wide selection of other beverages . they also have a decent selection of food , including basics such as trappist cheese and meats , sandwiches , desserts , and even a rabbit stew cooked in the trappist beer ! the cafe is open daily from 10am to midnight .\nthere ' s a reason trappist breweries are considered among the best in the world . this is the epitome of the belgian dubbel style , and the quality of this product shows that among the seven classic trappist breweries , westmalle shines at or near the top of the list . this is about as close to a perfect beer as one can get : world class in every regard .\nthe brewer will then add the hop flowers in three stages , with the dosage specified for every stage . the hop flowers will have been weighed by hand beforehand . the cooking process aims to dissolve the active ingredients of the hop ( etheric oils , polyphenols , and all the rest ) , so that the hop aromas are liberated , free to contribute to the complex character of the westmalle beers .\nthe brasserie d ' orval is a belgian trappist brewery located within the walls of the abbaye notre - dame d ' orval in the gaume region of belgium . they produce just two beers , orval and petite orval ( the latter only available from the the monastery itself ) . distinctive in it ' s skittle - shaped bottle , orval was first created in 1931 and has grown to iconic status - beer critic michael jackson even considered orval to be\na world classic\n.\nwhile the monastery has been brewing beer since 1836 , it wasn\u2019t until 1856 that it did so commercially . the tripel in its current incarnation appeared first in 1934 after a brewhouse expansion and several years of tests , originally as a strong blonde ale referred to as \u2018superbier\u2019 , and then for the first time as westmalle tripel in 1954 after brother thomas made minor alterations to the recipe by adding more hops .\n\u201cthere\u2019s a lot of unknown export going on , \u201d van assche says . \u201cthere are beer distributors that take mixed pallets and charge a price for one - stop shopping . there are third parties in china and south korea who own the name \u2018westmalle\u2019 in those countries . they registered the brand in their jurisdictions and we were not even aware that this was happening . we\u2019ve been trying but we haven\u2019t been able to recuperate our brand back from them . \u201d\nthere are 32 monks at westmalle , most over the age of 50 , and almost all from belgium . disengagement with the outside world is part of the deal . the brothers give up their birthday when they arrive and take on the birth date of the saint whose name they have been given . speaking is purely functional . the focus is on manual labor and prayer , with six services a day and hours set aside for private study of the bible .\nmy great grandfather was brewing an ' ouden tripel ' in 1892 ,\nsays brewer omer vander ghinste of the west flemish brewery which goes by his family name .\ntripel then had a different meaning than it does today . it meant more grain , more malt , more raw ingredients than the every day beers of 2 % abv which people drank on the fields in agricultural regions . our ouden tripel was a beer of mixed fermentation , like an oud bruin , but almost triple the strength of those beers at 5 . 5 % abv .\nit is believed that beer was being brewed in monasteries as early as the 6th century . in its earliest history , trappist beer acted as a form of potable water . eventually , trappist beer was made on larger scales with the intent of sharing it outside of the monastery walls . in many instances , and even still to this day , many trappist beers must be purchased on the grounds of the trappist brewery or at nearby markets . some even say that it is the trappist brewers who started spreading their knowledge of beer and brewing procedures that helped spur the growth of secular commercial brewing ventures .\nlike their rochefort confr\u00e8res , westmalle uses spring water for its beers that is rich in calcium . it is pumped up from a depth of 60 metres , before being filtered to remove the iron deposits . however , the water\u2019s other mineral content is preserved , so as to feed the yeast . the list of ingredients added includes : barley malt ( summer malt ) , pale malts , ' caramout ' ( caramel malts ) and candy sugars ( for the dubbel ) . not forgetting the hops . all these ingredients are subject to the most stringent of selection criteria .\nthe tripel is often available at the cafe on draft . westmalle tripel is a beautiful beer made with pale candy sugar . it has an alcohol content of 7 percent by weight and 9 by volume according to a bartender . the tripel definitely produces a warming of the stomach and a glow to the head . it has a very pale color produced from a mash of light pilsener malts . styrian goldings hops are used along with some german varieties and the classic saaz pilsener hop . after a long secondary fermentation , the tripel is bottled with a dose of sugar and yeast . it is a memorable drink with hints of fruit and pepper . this beer holds up well in the bottle over time and seems to soften with age .\nthe strong blond ale was developed by moortgat brewery , the makers of duvel , after world war ii , in order to compete with pilsners . a belgian - style strong blond ale very closely resembles a tripel but the flavor is less grainy , less sweet , and a touch more bitter . the color ranges from bright yellow to golden , which is generally lighter than a tripel . the finish is also drier than a tripel but just as highly carbonated and sometimes more so . strong blond ales are often hoppier than tripels . the hop aroma can be floral , perfumy and herbal , due to the european hops used in the brewing process . just like tripels , this style is also fruity and spicy . the alcohol by volume ranges from 7 . 5 % to 10 % , which is more noticeable but doesn ' t distract from the flavors of the beer and isn ' t solvent - like .\nhave you heard of the monastery of mont des cats , near the hop - growing village of steenvoorde , in french flanders ? perhaps not .\nmont des cats , an augustine monastery in the 1700s and trappist since 1826 , has not brewed since the beginning of this century , but seems to have doubly , if confusingly , influenced the beers across the border in the nearby town of watou , belgium .\nthere the brothers established a dairy farm and developed a market for their cheese .\nhet kapittel , or\nthe chapter\n, probably refers to monks from mont des cats who , during a period of instability in france , crossed the border to establish a refuge in watou . there the brothers established a dairy farm and developed a market for their cheese . when they returned to france , a family of cheese makers took over .\nduring that half - century , the monks of westvleteren produced beer for sale at the abbey , while the claus family brewed a st sixtus range for wider distribution .\nthis arrangement was never ideal as the two versions never quite corresponded : those made at the abbey were distinctly malty while the examples from the claus family were estery and fruity ."]}

hour to once an hour .\ntransit managers note , however , that the reduction in frequency of service should help the remaining buses to run on time .\nroute 1 , which runs along mendocino avenue , up chanate road and up to fountaingrove parkway would be eliminated on sundays because of low ridership .\nthe changes are part of a comprehensive update to the city ' s short - range transit plan , which must be updated every four years .\nthe changes are needed because of a reduction in sales tax revenue and uncertainty about future use of federal funding .\nthe boost in fares is expected to increase annual revenue by $ 500 , 000 . the changes are aimed at meeting federal transportation grant requirements that fares make up 20 percent of the system ' s operating budget , 10 percent for paratransit .\nthe fare increases and service reductions would take place feb . 1 , 2013 .\na public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for 5 p . m . today at city hall .\nyou can reach staff writer kevin mccallum at 521 -

density neighborhoods .\njust how daunting a challenge it is to strike a balance between those two goals became clear tuesday when city officials unveiled their nearly complete plan to revamp the city\u2019s bus routes .\nbus riders , many of whom rely on bus service as their primary source of transportation , are distressed by some of the changes .\ndozens of residents signed a petition asking the city not to eliminate at a stop in fountaingrove near keysight technologies , one of the city\u2019s largest employers .\na route that goes right past memorial hospital will be eliminated in favor of beefing up service on nearby sonoma avenue .\nand residents of neighborhoods that haven\u2019t had bus service and don\u2019t want it decried having buses traveling through their quiet streets .\ndawn barbieri , a school teacher , said there are too many hills and piner high kids using appletree drive to make it a good place for a bus route . \u201cthis a dangerous area , \u201d she said .\nmany of the negative comments have been about the route proposed to go past barbieri\u2019s home . the new route 11 was only recently revealed , compared to the year - long process , and has had little public input .\nthe route is designed to pull residents of the northeast and northwest areas of town into the central corridor , where the frequency of rides along mendocino avenue , bicentennial way and range avenue will be will be increased from 30 minutes now to every 15 minutes .\nsebastopol avenue and parts of third street will also get the new speedier service , which is designed in part to better connect the city\u2019s bus lines with sonoma county transit and the city\u2019s two commuter rail stations that sonoma - marin area rail transit expects to begin operating by the end of the year .\nroute 11 , however , is going into two residential neighborhoods that haven\u2019t had service in the past . the appletree area on the west side of town and leete avenue and aaron drive area off parker hill road on the eastside would be neighborhoods where the city\u2019s shorter hybrid bus would perform a loop before returning to the coddingtown mall area .\nthe fact that the bus would only operate during work hours every 75 minutes with a smaller bus meant the city didn\u2019t initially notify the residents of those areas about the proposals , said rachel ede , city transit planner , who took responsibility for the oversight .\n\u201cwe certainly could have done a better job out of the gate , \u201d ede said .\noverall , however , the city council gave ede and her team high marks for how they handled the challenging act of concentrating coverage in key areas without scaling it back so much in other areas that too many riders are affected .\nsome areas that will see a reduction in service include parts of montgomery drive near memorial hospital , colgan avenue , and highway 12 near brush creek . in these and other cases , the city reasoned that low ridership in those areas , short distances to other stops , or the existence of other transit options made eliminating the routes tolerable .\nin the case of modifying route 1 , which currently loops up fountaingrove and down parker hill , the loss of the stop closest to keysight technologies may be offset by a new bus service that employers may choose to run between the fountaingrove area and the coddingtown - area smart station , ede said .\nand ken rossi , an artist who is visually impaired and confined to wheelchair , urged the city not to eliminate the stop he uses on franquette avenue . ede later said the city was working for a solution to the living room problem and said the stop on franquette had been preserved .\nif approved by the city council next month , the changes would likely take place in november , she said .\nyou can reach staff writer kevin mccallum at 521 -

standing bm soho stalwart gerry \u2018goldie\u2019 mcgoldrick , one of two partners running the premises upon its demise . mcgoldrick joined bm in 1995 , when it was under the ownership of jervier and gelston\u2019s successors dave piccioni and nicky blackmarket . he has outlasted their significant tenures and , through his impeccable music knowledge , passion for groove and commitment to brilliant customer service , come to embody bm\u2019s most recent ( and final ) phase of life .\nas more medical records are becoming electronic , transfer of a person ' s health care records , their financial information , passport information and additional personal identification information , as well as family contacts between medical travel facilitators , doctors , and providers through the internet , the chances increase that a major hospital , a referring doctor , or a facilitator might be caught up in the crime . on the black market a , ' full - identity profile , ' of just one person may bring as much as $ 50 . criminals are becoming ever more skilled at stealing our medical information .\nbm soho originally opened as black market records in 1988 and is a legendary name to many fans , as well as being a key part in soho ' s record store day celebrations . dub / reggae store dub vendor was also operating out of the bm basement and will remain open until march 1 .\nsad , then , that blackmarket\u2019s end should have come this february in a matter of hours . a hastily handwritten sign appeared on the front door during the early hours of 27 february stating that \u201cdue to circumstances bm soho has to close\u201d . an official statement followed on the store\u2019s website ( now defunct ) suggesting trouble with the landlord but still questions remained . it was hard to accept that , one day , bm soho was pushing its usual wares , and then the next it was completely stripped bar one or two lonely - looking platters left in the window .\nthe dedication of its members and the band\u2019s storied lineage has helped make sweet cobra a household name to fans of bold rock and post - hardcore internationally , and a staple within the bustling music scene of their hometown of chicago . founded in 2003 by former members of a wide array of notable underground acts and boasting the fury and angular qualities of their hardcore / noise - rock / metal roots with a more straightforward rock rhythm and delivery , the band came into existence and toured alongside the likes of pelican , russian circles , coliseum , black cobra , doomriders , the life and times , young widows and many more . sweet cobra toured regularly throughout the first decade of the 2000s , and released a crushing load of recorded material , including three lps \u2014 2004\u2032s praise through seventh rule recordings , 2007\u2032s forever through hawthorne street records , and 2010\u2032s mercy on blackmarket activities \u2014 as well as split releases with doomriders , get rad , and young widows among other releases .\nthe identity theft resource center has identified hundreds of breaches across industries it tracks . the center says nearly half of these breaches happened in the health sector . criminal attacks on health data have doubled since the year 2000 according to the ponemon institute , which is a leader in data security . the high value of your medical records makes it highly attractive to hackers .\none of the reasons for the high value placed on your medical records is that you cannot cancel your own medical history . it is easy to cancel a credit card that has been stolen . due to this fact , it is far more difficult to prevent stolen medical information from being used against you by criminals . here are some of the going rates for stolen information :\nkarizmatik - karizmatik is a stand out dj and producer , he brings a skatty vibe that gets crowds going crazy and his production is on point . with bookings coming in fast hes proving his place in the scene . co - owner of dance culture & dance culture records , he has residency on award winning internet radio rough tempo and ct1 residency , the future is looking good for him .\nthe time criminals spend gathering your medical information brings to mind the potential these criminals have to do good instead of bad . these criminals are smart , technologically savvy , and have the desire to pursue a criminal career - why don ' t they do something good and positive instead ? even at $ 8 per stolen medical record , criminals are bringing in more money from these records than they would for stolen credit cards or social security numbers .\nin the soviet union people used to hide their music in a number of creative ways . one popular way was to cut records on old x - rays sourced from hospital garbage . these rare pressings are commonly referred to as bones or ribs . this year\u2019s krake festival features a special presentation by stephen coates and aleks kolkowski who have unearthed a number of these unusual recordings . they will present their findings and even create their own from a performance by alexander hacke . we asked stephen coates a few questions before the festival .\nin 2014 , robert lord , a former analytics systems designer for bridgewater associates , joined forces with nick culbertson , a former special forces operator , when they were students at the john hopkins university of medicine to create a ai - powered system to combat hacking and unauthorized access to electronic medical records . they co - founded cybersecurity company protenus to scale their technology to entire healthcare industry . applying ai to the bureaucratic and risk - averse medical space is challenging , but both investors and hospitals have applauded protenus ' unique approach .\nno unfortunately not . that would be very nice ! i remember when i first started to look into it , i heard this story that if it was a jazz record , it would be on a chest etc . but no , because the important thing was the music . on many of those records you cannot see the image very well or they didn\u2019t care so much about the image . they cared about the sound . the important thing was the music , and that was much more important than what it looked like .\nsurprisingly , most attacks and data breaches don\u2019t come from external hackers , lord reveals . \u201cthe majority of all inappropriate accesses to ehrs comes from the inside . they involve nurses or doctors , billing specialists , or administrators who have legitimate reasons for having access to systems but who abuse that access for revenge , financial gain or just plain curiosity\u201d . in 2016 , 450 breaches occurred , affecting 27 million patient records . of those , a 120 incidents resulted from outside hacking , while 200 - over 65 % more - came from insider actions .\nlondon record shop bm soho ( formerly black market records ) has closed after 27 years of service . only a few days after its owners had announced new opening hours , the store had been emptied of stock with a sign reading \u201cdue to circumstances , bm soho has to close\u201d attached to its window . online , it announced that it was closing\ndue to contractual dispute over the building\nand its landlord assumed the building would soon be part of the regeneration of soho , which has led to the demolition of club madame jojo ' s .\nthey were sold on street corners . obviously the people that were selling them needed to be quite careful , so they would sell them in dark corners , in parks , in special places where people would go because they knew they would be there . they had to be extremely careful because the police were looking for them , and also other criminals were looking for them . it was like selling soft drugs , so if you knew somebody who made these records , then maybe you would go to their apartment . they weren\u2019t sold in shops or record stores .\nwell , interestingly , it was adapted from a german machine , the telefunken . in english we call it a recording lathe . telefunken made these machines in the late 1930s and \u201840s . they were usually used by journalists to make a recording of some news item to be sent to a radio station . somebody found one of these machines . it\u2019s interesting that we are in berlin , because a polish guy found\u2014or stole , probably\u2014one of these machines here at the end of world war ii , and he took it to leningrad . and this is how they started to make the records .\nyes , they were very flammable . and yes , they didn\u2019t last very long . so they would play them until they were destroyed and then just throw them away . it was disposable music . and because of that there are very little around today . people didn\u2019t keep them because they were illegal . there aren\u2019t really people who collect them . there are people who have them because they have a big collection of gramophone records , and there were maybe some of them in there . but as far as i know , nobody has really collected them . they are too difficult to find .\nmy contract was up after i turned in vengeance is mine in november of 2000 . i spoke to ced about staying with bmr if he\u2019d give me a new deal and actually live up to it . i wanted to sign back to bmr out of a sense of loyalty and sign madman records to a 50 / 50 deal with bmr too . t - nutty was ready to go . ced kept saying , \u201ci don\u2019t have the money , x . i can\u2019t do it . \u201d i hung up the phone and have literally never spoken to cedric singleton again . that was 13 years ago .\nblack - market records supported the scene as a focus for the community , an essential component in an world without the internet . nicky started another label\nkartoonz\nfeaturing the anthem\ntwo degrees\n, confirming his status as a central force in the scene . unlike many superstars , nicky still works in his shop and is a promoter of fresh talent and ideas , unafraid to help new artists and organisers push the art form forward . his love of drum and bass keeps him from descending into the mindless repetition and lazy performances characteristic of many in the scene . nicky invites you to sample his philosophy at the shop in d ' arblay st , london , or at any of his shows around the world . whooiiiiiiiiiiiikked !\ni think that\u2019s really great and , as i say , i\u2019m passing the baton on to those places . but it\u2019s very hard . the margins are so tight that you have to sell [ he stresses ] a lot of records to make it worthwhile . and there\u2019s so much online competition too , from the likes of juno . it\u2019s just really difficult . most labels will tell you that vinyl sales are difficult right now . and even when you head further afield to find those game - changing releases , then there\u2019s the added costs attached to the distance \u2013 delivery and so forth . some stores paint a better picture right now than probably exists ; i\u2019ve always said there\u2019s no real margin in this game . but it\u2019s great that new people are coming through and trying to bring vinyl to audiences in new ways .\nwell we met a bootlegger recently , and he told us that he enjoyed introducing people to new music . he didn\u2019t want to just sell them the stuff they knew already , he would try to say , \u201clisten to this song by louis armstrong , it\u2019s really good . \u201d so he enjoyed being a curator and bringing new music to people . at the beginning of this culture , the people who did it were music lovers and they were doing it because they wanted to share the music they loved . later on it became a business , like a black market business . and then the people who were making records and selling them didn\u2019t really care . it was just a money thing , you know ? but there were always people doing it because they loved music . and it was a dangerous thing to do . one of the people we interviewed in st petersburg spent two years in prison .\ncedric singleton and brotha lynch hung had a war of words on fb on september 23rd . my name was mentioned so rich sent the posts to me for feedback .\nfor context , i met ced when i was 16 years old . he gave me an opportunity to be heard by the masses . when i got locked up , he visisted me and answered every call i made . when i told him to send money somewhere for me , it always got done . i\u2019m talking \u201992 \u2013 \u201900 without fail . that\u2019s why i felt such a strong sense of loyalty to him . he was like a big brother to me .\nwendy day started writing me in 1998 . she taught me all about mechanical , publishing , sales and merchandise royalties and showed me that ced wasn\u2019t paying me properly . he gave me money when i asked for it instead of having a system in place to pay me whether i asked for money or not .\nin hip hop , it\u2019s common for the ceo of a hood company to have a learning curve . the problem with ced is that , even after he should have known better , he still wasn\u2019t paying anyone properly .\ni took initiation to bayside and b12 paid me like a grown man . i made more money in 2001 with b12 than i did over the previous eight years with bmr .\nin the summer of 2010 , i got a letter from walter zelnick at chr telling me that ced had sent a cease and desist letter to him for selling my bmr catalog for me . i wrote walter back and said \u201cfuck what ced\u2019s talking about . \u201d walter had my back .\nabout two weeks later , i got a letter from ced telling me not to release anymore bmr owned product . i wrote him back and said , \u201ci own my songs . you own the packaging . i didn\u2019t use your packaging . if you aren\u2019t going to pay me , i have to pay myself . \u201d i got a response back saying it was all good as long as i didn\u2019t release anymore bmr product . for the record , i still don\u2019t give a fuck what he\u2019s talking about .\nso when ced wrote , \u201cmy relationship [ with ] x -

my partner had just cleared all of the stock and fittings . bm soho was a shell . he\u2019d also cut my phone and email . i tried to sort things out but couldn\u2019t . i think he thought i\u2019d simply move elsewhere with him but i wouldn\u2019t . i had too much of a connection to soho , and if we did have to shut then i\u2019d have wanted to do things properly with a leaving party there and the rest . most of the burden was on him now so , gutted as i was , i moved on .\ni had the option to come back . the landlord mentioned that i could return at any time . . . that it was up to me so long as i could agree on the lease . he couldn\u2019t believe what had happened ; he told me he\u2019d never have chucked me out . as i say , i\u2019m sure we could have worked something . then again , whilst there were other parties interested in helping get bm soho back up and running all those early conversations fizzled out and , ultimately , i felt i needed to go . . . to pass the baton on to the other , younger independent stores out there . . . .\nit\u2019s really difficult . vinyl sales are up , yes , but sales are still tough . and in london\u2019s west end , it\u2019s particularly difficult to generate profits with how expensive the rents are and the other running costs .\ni have a great gig with acs [ advanced communication solutions \u2013 founded in 1994 by andy shiach , the company develops , manufactures and supplies products that protect the hearing of people whose livelihoods depend on working in dangerously high sound levels ] . i knew andy from before , and an offer came in to work with him pretty much straightaway . it\u2019s fantastic . . . i get to deal with a lot of music product and musicians and djs , so i\u2019m still in the same space i enjoy .\ni\u2019d never say never to another store sometime in the future because i still have days when i think about all the great memories . i\u2019ve never really thought about my store experience as real experience but it is and that obviously explains the other offers i\u2019ve had recently . but , really , i\u2019ve moved on now and my focus has shifted . who knows . . . .\nrecord store day was always fantastic , the last few years . . . when we were playing music outside and people were flocking to us . i\u2019ll stick my neck out and say that bm\u2019s customer service was also a highlight \u2013 we tried to create a fun , relaxed atmosphere and helping customers in that environment was always a pleasure . and then there\u2019s the special performances in -

rays .\nyou\u2019ve got a situation where you have a huge amount of culture that was forbidden . all culture was censored : art , film , even drama , literature . and of course music was censored too . by the time you got to 1946 , there was a huge amount of music you were not allowed to listen to : western music for sure , because it was western , but also tango , foxtrot and certain rhythms . you also couldn\u2019t listen to lots of russian music that was made by people who were no longer considered patriotic . so if somebody became , let\u2019s say if somebody fell from grace or was no longer considered acceptable , then all music that they made was forbidden .\nso you had a situation where a huge amount of music was forbidden . and people loved this music and they wanted to hear it , so they were trying to find a way to hear it , and they were very ingenious we would say . in leningrad they managed to bootleg technology so they could make new recordings of forbidden music . the way they were doing it was using recycled x - ray film that you can record on to make a vinyl record or grooves . this is a very strange part of the story . and it was easy at that time to get hold of x - rays because all the hospitals had to throw away their x - rays after one year because they were very flammable . basically people discovered that you could make a record from an x - ray with a special machine . so that\u2019s how it started .\nyes , but if not from that one machine then from the principle of that machine .\nyes , there\u2019s a story about him coming to leningrad with this machine and then they made machines like this to do it themselves .\nthere were three types really . there was western music : jazz and rock and roll , because they were forbidden . they were copying russian music that had been very popular but was now forbidden . and they would also make their own recordings as well . because , of course , in the soviet union you weren\u2019t supposed to make your own recordings\u2014it was illegal .\nwhat was the weirdest picture and music combination ? because i can imagine it can be quite strange .\nyeah , some of them are really quite beautiful . the obvious one is with a skull when the spindle hole looks like a bullet between the eyes . you know that when they were making that , they were doing this very carefully to get that effect . some of them can look really beautiful\u2014as they were fragile . these were not strong things , and they would start to deteriorate , to break down , and they can actually look amazing when they start to melt .\nthere is a book now , we published a book now with lots of examples of the record and this history of the bootleggers , with interviews etc . but also it\u2019s a travelling exhibition , and the exhibition is very strangely going to moscow , to the museum of contemporary art in gorki park in 2017 . you can also hear these x -

[ laughs ] i don\u2019t like to talk about money , but it was more than i ever could\u2019ve imagined ; that\u2019s how i started black box .\nthe vibe was a fancy slim cupsole ! the signature tommy sandoval colorway was vegan - suede . another great fallen model .\nregardless of whether you pushed your rig in fallen footwear or not , the fact that a legendary skateboarder has had to close his shoe business down , is not only sad to hear , but paints a dark picture of exactly what is wrong within the skate industry in 2016 .\nafter months of uncertainty , it ' s sadly official \u2013 fallen footwear is no more . jamie thomas took to instagram this morning to confirm that the once great brand was to be discontinued following the current season , leaving behind over a decade of quality videos , team riders and products .\ntrasher magazine recently interviewed tommy sandoval . since he is riding for fallen and zero skateboards we thought it would be of interest for you\u2026\nour dear friend and founder of fallen and zero skateboards has given an interview to trasher magazine last year that is worth reading . here\u2026\non april 11 , 2016 , jamie thomas announced on facebook , instagram and its homepage that fallen was disbanding operations . [ 4 ]\nhailing from alabama comes the founding father of zero skateboards & fallen footwear , jamie thomas , a . k . a . \u2018the chief . as an original pioneer of groundbreaking street gnar on the board , jamie continues to push himself to progress while balancing both family & business ; while still enjoying skateboarding daily .\nin a recent instagram post to the semi - rebooted fallen footwear account , the captioned question above was posed and garnered over 6k + likes along with a number of comments that are continuing to be generated . with an overwhelming majority voting in favor of the move , we wanted to hear your thoughts on the potential relaunch .\nrather than waiver from this mission , we are choosing to bow out . i encourage everyone to support authentic skate footwear brands as we wish them all the absolute best .\nover the years , what\u2019s the craziest fallen fan you\u2019ve ever encountered or the craziest thing you\u2019ve seen someone do for fallen ? i\u2019ve seen a lot of tattoos , which is always flattering but feels bizarre . my hope in creating fallen was that it would feel more like a board brand and people could have loyalty for the mission , which is not all that common for footwear brands . i think it worked in the early years really well because of where my career was at coupled with cole\u2019s and the rest of the team . but over time , the team dynamic changed and spirit of the brand seemed to not matter as much .\nfallen ' s ride the sky video is one of the best of all time , so we ' re leaving that right here for everyone to enjoy .\nwhat ' s next for fallen ? 2013 will be over before we know it , and we ' d like to tour and do demos throughout 2014 .\nit\u2019s frustrating to see another skater owned brand fold . paraphrasing jamie , rather then compromise the values of fallen , they are simply going to close up shop .\nthis shoe works for casual and for when you need to add just a little bit of class to your outfit . it works with black pants or jeans and does match best with shirts that are simple without extreme colors or patterns . this was the\ngateway\nshoe to get my spouse to upgrade his footwear to more adult styles and looks . i definitely recommend for others needing to convince someone in their life that footwear should grow up as we do ! as with all fallen shoes , the quality matches the price and the look is simple and modern .\nas of january 2015 , the fallen pro riders were jamie thomas , tommy sandoval , brian\nslash\nhansen , dane burman , jon dickson and tony cervantes .\nhow much does fallen folding personally have an impact on you ? do you plan on skating much longer into your 40s as a professional skateboarder ? do you still have video parts in you ? i\u2019ve been fighting an uphill battle with fallen for years . all the time with the pressure that if i don\u2019t work around the clock and do everything possible fallen may not make it , so as hard as it was to make the calls on monday , it\u2019s a relief that i can finally moving forward with my life .\njavier suarez is the newest addition to the fallen spanish squad . his confidence on the skateboard is what will make him stay in the game for a while . a true ripper .\nwhile most footwear is meant simply for general public consumption , sometimes a designer is charged with working with a pro athlete to develop his signature shoe . the liberty was the product of collaboration between rawls and pro skateboarder jamie thomas .\nthere\u2019s no telling what\u2019s next for the skate shoe industry , or what\u2019s left for the riders and employees that fallen used to support . as things get sorted out , we obviously hope to see everyone land on their feet , but in the meantime we reached out to the chief for a post - mortem on fallen and for his predictions on what the future holds .\nfallen and deathwish combined forces for a new colorway of the slash ii shoe . so in celebration they decided to have a skate session with pizza and beer at the baker boys park .\nfallen was known for their shoes , flannel , hoodies , t - shirts , snapbacks , book bags , jeans / shorts , and skateboarding videos . the more popular shoes are ,\nthe clipper\n,\nthe patriot\n,\nthe rival\n,\ntrooper\nand the\nforte\n. at its peak , fallen had 17 models in over 50 colors .\nhow do you want fallen to be remembered in skateboarding ? what are you most proud of ? i want fallen to be remembered as a brand for the underdogs , the die hard skate rats . i don\u2019t feel like now is the time to be proud . i\u2019m extremely thankful for all of the experiences and good times i had with the team and the employees through the years .\nthe rambler was the first shoe we skate reviewed from fallen . the upper was a durable synthetic suede . super light , and very fun to skate . i\u2019d love to find another pair .\nrawls ' heart may be in skateboarding , but he ' s designed a wide variety of footwear that rides the spectrum from soccer shoes and snowboard boots to casual and women ' s shoes . his collection of sketches for macbeth shows off his range in style .\nif an investor came along and wanted to revamp fallen or buy the name , would you let it live on through someone else\u2019s control like a world industries ? in my eyes , that would be the worse case scenario .\nalexandra sherlock , dr victoria robinson , professor jenny hockey and dr rachel dilley are conducting research for the if the shoe fits : footwear , identity and transition project at the university of sheffield . the project is funded by the economic and social research council . for more information visit urltoken\nwell unlike dvs , fillament , state , the current es , circa , vox , osiris and globe they actually had a marketable image . all those companies are bland as hell , and like it or not fallen had a demographic .\nas the skateboarding landscape continues to radically change , we can ' t stress enough the importance of supporting core skateboarding brands \u2013 and especially core footwear brands . emerica , lakai , etnies and others are battling on , but they won ' t be around for much longer without the support of skateboarders everywhere .\nthink about emerica , state , lakai , fillament , es , etnies , dvs , c1rca , vox , huf , osiris , supra , globe , and diamond and tell me how fallen could possibly be different enough from any of those brands .\nyou founded fallen as raw 100 % skateboarding , that kind of hesh / handrail style skater that was down to get super broke off and put it all on the line . do you think that type of clothing style and skater is a dying breed ? do you think that was a contributing factor to fallen declining in sales ? yeah , to some degree . i think skateboarding is becoming more about creativity and style because everyone can do everything . there\u2019s needs to be something to make brands or skateboarders stand out amongst all the stuff that is coming at us . i think that fact had the least to do with the decline of fallen , because other brands are facing the same challenges we\u2019ve faced , it all just happens at different times .\nwhere does that leave you now for a shoe sponsor ? would you ride for adidas , nike , cons or vans ? i have nothing lined up , i\u2019m just gonna keep wearing fallen\u2019s and try to not think about it for a bit . i have quite a few projects i\u2019m working on that i\u2019m excited about , so i\u2019m just gonna focus on those . also , i haven\u2019t really been paid for the time i\u2019ve invested in fallen for about 3 - 4 years , so there\u2019s not a lost salary i need to make up for .\nten years have passed since the first fallen shoe hit the stores . what has changed in the shoe business since then ? well , our shoes have gotten a lot less puffy , but our mission is still the same : we focus on making shoes strictly for skateboarding .\nin 2008 , fallen released a skate video titled\nride the sky\n. the video features billy marks , brian hansen , chris cole , gilbert crockett , james hardy , jamie thomas , josh harmony , matt bennett , tommy sandoval , and tony cervantes . [ 6 ]\ndid you get some ownership when adio footwear started too ? nah , adio was owned by k2 , which bought planet earth . k2 made skis and rollerblades and even though chris miller was running the show , it was always felt a little weird cause at the end of the day your future was in the hands of a ski / rollerblade company .\nif they made a whole line of shoes at the same level as the capitol or the more recent doa model then maybe they would stand a chance . not sure the whole nike / adidas in skateboarding debate really needs to be involved . fallen just made too many bad shoes .\ni left circa because we were supposed to launch a new sister footwear brand based on the momentum of my line , but they had some massive issues with their snowboard brands , which put them in a serious cash crunch . they quickly canned the new brand and they weren\u2019t able to pay me for about 3 or 4 months . as that balance started to stack up , they didn\u2019t know if or when they be able to pull out of it and pay me , so the longer it lasted , the sketchier it got . going to dc to start fallen didn\u2019t seem risky at all , you can feel it when the time\u2019s right .\nif you ' ve been in a skate shop or a skatepark in the past decade , you ' ve seen rawls ' work . he ' s designed successful shoes for duffs , fallen and dc shoes , to name a few . his history as a skateboarder has played a key role in his success as a designer .\nstores from around the world view outdoor retailer as the venue of choice for the most comprehensive collection of outdoor gear and apparel , equipment , climbing technology , footwear , ski mountaineering , camping , backpacking , cycling , water sports , hunting , rescue , outerwear , fitness gear and accessory companies from which to buy products . the event hosts an array of seminars , presentations , competitions , demos , parties and more .\nthe lifecycle in skate for the majority should be short , mean something extraordinary , and go away leaving you wanting more . that said , fallen\u2019s run made a huge impact during its greatest era , and just like es , should be remembered for what and who it influenced to come after rather than trying to kick start something again & again .\nfinally , there is a comment to be made in relation to the advances of feminist thought . there is a fine line between critiquing oppression and reinforcing it . turner\u2019s somewhat polemic response to beard\u2019s article reinforces precisely the male domination she seems to be arguing against \u2013 surely we are moving away from a time when women are bullied into what they should or shouldn\u2019t wear , or , more precisely , what they should feel or say about their footwear choices .\nanyway \u2013 the point here is that fallen had been around for 13 fucking years . i personally never owned a pair , but there were people that did . i can\u2019t name anyone specifically ( to avoid defamation litigation ) but there were definitely tons of skatepark heroes that loved those shoes . honestly i seriously couldn\u2019t tell you why . but they did . and that\u2019s important .\ncompanies like fallen represented a time when we weren\u2019t so in tune or maybe didn\u2019t really care about fashion \u2013 and fashion certainly did not give a fuck about skateboarding . so to see a company like this go away , even though many of us may have been too cool for them , is actually pretty sad . ya know \u2013 like losing a part of the culture .\nin the mid - ' 90s , destiny called , and rawls was approached by a burgeoning footwear company , kastel , that was looking to launch its line with a young pro .\nthey called me and asked me if i wanted a signature shoe and to represent their brand ,\nhe says .\nit sounded like an offer that was too good to pass up , so i took it , and that opportunity gave me the chance to design my signature shoe .\nwhere does this leave your team riders now ? hopefully they can end up in good homes , even though it seems there\u2019s too many talented pro skaters and not enough footwear spots for skaters at the moment . yeah , it\u2019s not a rad situation for any of us , myself included . when facing heavy shit like this , team riders and employees have always weighed the heaviest on me , but eventually you have to face the reality that you can\u2019t continue to look out for everyone , it sucks .\nhow do you feel about tommy sandoval\u2019s post on instagram about the whole situation ? i love tommy and i love his passion for what he holds true . i don\u2019t want to play the victim or blame anyone for what happens in my life . i learned a long time ago that life is tough and it\u2019s not always fair ; i know there are a lot of factors for the decline of fallen .\nrather than listening to what beard has to say about her shoes , turner appears to have fallen into the trap of assuming that to talk about shoes at all is to dumb down or to reduce ourselves to objects subject to the male gaze . in this respect turner\u2019s tirade has done more to reinforce the stereotype of women that talk about shoes as mindless dupes and hapless victims of patriarchal oppression than mary\u2019s original article did .\nwhy did billy marks leave fallen , and will he be in the video ? it seemed that billy and the brand grew apart , and over time there was less and less of a connection and it started to affect our ability to sell his products and justify his salary . so we didn ' t re - sign him earlier this year , and he quit . he went on two of the trips , but he will not be in the video .\nis it true that you still have an ownership stake in circa ? yeah , as crazy as that is ; when i left to start fallen my stock was fully vested and they weren\u2019t in the position to buy me out , so it\u2019s just been there chillin . i always hoped they\u2019d sell , but it\u2019s been a rollercoaster for them since muska and i left . hopefully , they pull it off though and a few bucks will fall from the sky some day .\njamie thomas , the brand\u2019s head honcho , has given his entire life to skateboarding . he created brands that left a strong legacy in the history books , building and supporting teams that have pushed skateboarding forwards , taking a leap of faith into everything he has done with solid commitment . it\u2019s a real shame to see any skater owned shoe brand close after 13 years of hard graft , but that\u2019s sadly today\u2019s news , fallen\u2019s spring 2016 shoe run will be the last .\ncarnaby street : perhaps london\u2019s most famous shoe - shopping location . filmed during a lunch hour this seven and a half minute video observes the shoes of those passing through the popular location . the sheer diversity of styles , the sounds the shoes make and the ways in which people walk in them allude to the very special and significant relationship between footwear and identity . who are these people ? what do they do ? where are they from ? where are they going and where have they been ? \u2013 all questions that pass through one\u2019s mind when spending time really looking at the shoes people wear whilst going about their everyday lives .\nyou signed off \u201cskate or die\u201d at the end of your fallen press release . if you couldn\u2019t skate , or didn\u2019t own any brands anymore , would you consider killing yourself ? probably ! [ laughs ] nah , i would further devote myself to my family and even if i wasn\u2019t skating i\u2019d be replaying the times when i was skating in my head . i am a lifer and skateboarding is what i know and love . that was a message to those who are feasting on skateboarding , but don\u2019t skate .\nif you grew up skating in the late 90s and early 00s , you remember when jamie thomas was * the * guy . you could play him in thps , zero felt like one of the biggest board brands in the world , and anyone that knew anything about skateboarding would always mention the leap of faith . as the years went by he took a step back from the limelight , but behind the scenes he was relentless , starting black box distribution and growing mystery , threat , insight , and , of course , fallen .\nwe\u2019ve flowed this kid from minneapolis shoes for almost 3 years waiting for him to blossom , but when i called him on monday to break the news to him about fallen , his response was sinclair called me and asked me to ride for nike not to long ago , so i\u2019ve been wearing them . i\u2019m hyped he\u2019s gonna be taken care of , but does nike need everyone that is good at skateboarding ? this makes it impossible for authentic skate brands to nurture the next generation of talent , so our fates are eventually sealed by our bros that now work for nike .\ncan you tell us a little bit about the last 1 - 2 years with fallen ? what were the major successes and hurdles in moving to dwindle and ultimately why you had to make this decision to kill it ? we\u2019ve spent the last 24 months revamping the brand ; we solidified a relationship with a new factory in order to improve quality and we redesigned the whole line minus a few staples . we focused on those 2 things first because they were the biggest complaints people shared with dwindle . i also personally took the time to call as many accounts as possible to explain our plans to resuscitate the brand .\nas skaters , we\u2019ve all heard that these skater - born shoe companies have been hurting for a while , but it\u2019s not until they really go out of business or finally call it quits that it hits you . regardless of if you were a fan or not , it\u2019s always a bummer to see something that was once so loved die out , to watch employees and skaters get tossed out and back into the uncertainty of unemployment and the rough skate industry machine .\ni feel like the successes were that the new designs were good and received well ; but the hurdles were that the market is in a really interesting place and it seemed like no matter what we did , it was too little too late .\nsales eventually shrank to the point where they were too small to meet the minimum order quantity requirements with the factory for fall 2016 production . when you\u2019re at that point , you only have two options if you wanna continue . pay massive up - charges for the small quantities or make the minimum quantities the factory requires and flood the tj - maxx\u2019s & costco\u2019s of the world with the excess shoes .\nwe weighed everything out and it didn\u2019t make sense to go further into negative numbers by paying the up - charges and the tj - maxx route is obviously just lame on all fronts .\nso , we collectively decided we had reached the end and it was time to cut our losses .\nwe also found ourselves in a quickly changing climate with the corporate brands putting a lot of pressure on retailers to buy more , which meant they had to cut back on the smaller brands . some of our best accounts were also having a hard time keeping their doors open , so paying slowed down dramatically across the board , which started to impact our cash flow and marketing budget . we also lost cole , which obviously had an impact on the sales and the perception of the brand . basically the perfect storm of everything that could happen .\nmy mission now is to keep zero raw and combine dudes from the new generation with zero\u2019s style in order to continue to reinvent the brand while staying true to it\u2019s roots . it\u2019s also easier to fight for your stake with a board brand , cause those massive corporations can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to get in skateboard trenches ; there\u2019s not enough margins .\nthat said , i have to acknowledge that the athletic brands continue to go out of their way to make it impossible for anyone without their resources to stay alive , which is really lame . they are cutting off the oxygen at the bottom by poaching flow riders and ams from core brands by offering them more even though they already have 50 ams and a 100 flow riders on the team . nike has a team manager at every level and now they\u2019ve even hired mike sinclair who used to manage the dekline team as a talent scout because he\u2019s plugged into the am contest network and has his ear to the street .\ni thought circa was sold at some point already and people cashed out ? has it always been the same owners since you started with them ? nah , things got really rocky a few years ago and they pretty much closed shop , but i think the owner of the factory stepped in and took over in exchange of the debt and resurrected it .\nthe weird thing is , i think all of those brands you mentioned are undeniably solid besides the fact that at the top everything is about money ; they make great stuff , have amazing teams , support industry events and they take care of their people . that said , i\u2019m not sure i fit the mold for any of those brands though besides vans ; they\u2019ve always been a skate brand . vans has a massive team though with several dudes that share a similar history to mine . i have principals and beliefs about the brands i\u2019d like to support , but that\u2019s not my purpose for living . the trick is to balancing those beliefs while continuing to do what you love and take care of your family .\nnike has been in skateboarding for over a decade . do you believe that they will stay here for a while or eventually leave ?

at the most fundamental level , overweight and obesity result from an imbalance between caloric intake and usage . in support of this perspective , health and nutrition experts cite increasingly sedentary lifestyles resulting from urban planning and technological changes in the way we work ; they also point to increasing portion sizes and the poor availability of nutritional food choices in schools and workplaces . however , \u201cthere is no consensus as to whether the current obesity epidemic in north america is primarily the result of high levels of physical inactivity or high dietary intake of energy - dense foods , and it is likely that both dietary intake and physical inactivity have played a role in the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity . \u201d ( 10 )\nsince academic systems between and within countries are not uniform , educational attainment categories were based on the number of completed school years , and on diplomas earned . in the usa , the \u201cno high school diploma\u201d category includes those who never went to school up to those who stopped after 11 years of schooling ; in canada , this category includes also those who had been thirteen years at school but had no diploma . the \u201chigh school\u201d category includes grade 12 or the equivalent in the usa ; in canada , this category includes only those who successfully finished high school ( secondary - 5 diploma or 13 th year completed ) . the \u201ccollege\u201d category includes those who had completed one to three years of college or technical school in the usa ; in canada it includes all those who did some post - secondary , with or without a college diploma , including those who received a university certificate ( only one year at the university ) . finally in the usa , the \u201cgraduate studies\u201d category includes at least four years spent at college and graduation ; in canada , this category includes those with a baccalaureate diploma or higher . we used the same educational attainment category label , although slight differences in their meaning exist between both countries .\nshields , margot , connor gorber , sarah , tremblay , mark s . 2008 . \u201c effects of measurement on obesity and morbidity . \u201d health reports . vol . 19 , no . 2 . june . statistics canada catalogue no . 82 - 003 . urltoken\nthe study population includes adults from both the usa and canada . table 1 presents the sample size for the brfss and cchs . observations with missing information regarding bmi , age , education , race , household size were removed as well as all pregnant women ( 10 . 4 % in the usa and 13 . 8 % in canada ) . observations for which income information was missing were kept by using a missing income category . mean bmi for excluded individuals was the same for all categories ( average difference less than 0 . 1 kg / m 2 ) except for canadian women for whom the mean bmi was 0 . 85 kg / m 2 higher . study samples were reduced to participants living in contiguous and continental states in the usa , and in the 10 provinces of canada \u2013 thereby excluding territories .\nwithout societal changes , a substantial and steadily rising proportion of adults will succumb to the medical complications of obesity ; indeed , the medical burden of obesity already threatens to overwhelm health services . the spectrum of problems seen in both developing and developed countries is having so negative an impact that obesity should be regarded as today\u2019s principal neglected public health problem .

sulfur crude , of which tatneft produced large amounts . work on the complex proceeded at a brisk pace through 2000 , and the basic refinery complex was expected to be completed by the end of 2001 . resources were also pouring into the gas station expansion project , which was helped with the acquisition of a stake in the retailer mosnefteproduct .\ngreene , sam ,\ntatarstan got $ 230 mln through tatneft loans ,\nrussia journal , september 13 , 1999 , p . 13 .\nthe barter system that tatneft had used to pay its taxes was widespread throughout the russian economy . a pressing problem for nearly all russian businesses was a lack of payment from domestic customers . most of tatneft ' s consumers lacked hard currency and preferred to pay in kind for oil . that situation pushed tatneft to look abroad for financial support in the form of hard currency . foreign banks , encouraged by a slight improvement in the russian economy , were happy to oblige . with negligible debt at the end of 1996 and 6 . 3 billion barrels of reserves , tatneft looked like a company that only required a little capital investment to bring its idle wells back into production . as a result , tatneft won $ 528 million in short - term loans from western banks . those banks overlooked more unsettling aspects of doing business with tatneft - - primarily the fact that the company was handing cash over to the government to help tatarstan pay its bills . the government got a total of $ 230 million from tatneft before the economic crisis in 1998 , most of which it later paid back in the form of deductions from tatneft ' s tax bill . but as long as tatneft ' s wells were pumping out hard currency profits , financial institutions put up with unorthodox business practices . at the end of 1997 , their faith seemed to be justified , as tatneft had a net income of $ 12 . 9 million on sales of $ 2 . 53 billion .\npresident shaimiev came through on his promises in january 1998 , when he signed an agreement with the president of nizhnii novgorod for tatneft to provide oil to the norsi refinery in that city . tatneft expressed a desire to gain a controlling stake in the refinery , perhaps in an alliance with its competitor lukoil . as of 2001 , tatneft owned 8 percent of oao norsi oil . the plans for increased presence on the international stock market also moved ahead . on march 30 , 1998 , tatneft debuted on the new york stock exchange . by that summer , foreigners owned 22 . 5 percent of the company , while tatarstan had 30 . 3 percent , russian investors 16 . 8 percent , and tatneft employees 30 . 3 percent .\npreferred shares of jsc tatneft were included into the listing of ' a2 ' category of the rts trading system . international rating agency fitch raised the rating of tatneft liabilities from ' b -

operational wells into production . as a result , production reached 170 million barrels in 1995 , a level that would remain fairly constant into the next millennium .\nin 1994 , tatneft went public , thus becoming the first russian oil major to enter the global stock markets with securities that won it worldwide recognition . historically , tatneft was for a long time the only local major oil company that specialized exclusively in oil production in russia . to rectify this situation , tatneft\u2019s management decided to create its own network of petrol filling stations in russia and ukraine . later , another strategic decision was taken to merge the company , nizhnekamskshina and nizhnekamsky technical carbon plant into a single entity . the first significant project involving taftneft in its new capacity was the production of highly -

1970s , with average yearly production of over 700 million barrels , marked the peak of tatneft ' s production . by 1981 , a total of two billion tons ( 14 . 2 billion barrels ) of oil had been extracted in tatarstan . as tatneft ' s main fields matured , production declined from the 1980s into the mid - 1990s .\ncurrently , the company is drilling for oil on a total number of 82 licensed fields , while 13 different oil companies incorporated with tatneft\u2019s capital are presently actively involved in geological exploration operations for energy resources in the orenburg , ulyanovsk , samara , nenets autonomous district regions and kalmykia . besides , tatneft is currently operating oil deposits abroad , notably in syria and libya . the company is also actively searching for alternative sources , such as the superviscous , bitumen oil , whose gross reserve in tatarstan is estimated at over 7bln tons , for boosting its output and replenishment of oil reserves . tatneft has devised new technologies for developing these potentially lucrative raw materials for russia and has been performing pilot project works with the aid of these technologies on its production sites since 2006 .\nyear 2004 . the year of awards . six awards were presented to the specialists of tatneft at the\nengineer of the year\ncontest . the ministry of youth and sports of the republic of tatarstan and the administration of kazan awarded tatneft with diploma\nfor contributions into the development of domestic tourism\nbased on the results of the\ntourism . recreation . sports -

yelkhovskoye . the two fields would be the source of most of the crude produced by tatneft throughout the ensuing decades .\nmeanwhile , the soviet union had ceased to exist . as russia emerged from the ruins of the soviet union , tatarstan was negotiating its degree of cooperation with the new federal government . against a backdrop of political uncertainty , tatneft took several steps to augment its role in the international oil industry . the association formed a special unit to develop ties with foreign oil and oil services companies . tatneft also obtained the right to directly set up trade , economic , and technical agreements with foreign firms , and to export oil if the foreign currency proceeds were used for the realization of social programs .\ndespite these confident business advances , conditions in the russian economy did not bode well for tatneft . stocks had been falling since the beginning of 1998 and the price of crude was low . in august 1998 the economy collapsed as the russian ruble experienced a 245 percent devaluation . the downturn was especially disastrous for tatneft , since most of its loans were denominated in foreign currency . to make matters worse , the company lost money through treasury bills on which the russian government had defaulted . dealing with the enormous foreign debt burden would be the central problem of the next few years . tatneft barely managed to pay a half - yearly coupon on its $ 300 million eurobond , finally scraping together the required amount several weeks after the october due date . year - end results for 1998 were understandably poor . the company lost $ 732 million on revenues which were half of the previous year .\nmay 2000 brought tatneft ' s first joint venture outside tatarstan . zao kalmtatneft was formed in a partnership with the caspian - area oil producer kalmneft . the project would develop fields in kalmykia , a southern republic on the northwest shore of the caspian sea . because tatneft ' s own wells were low - producing , the firm was happy to find a way to use some of its recently hired staff and newly acquired equipment . other expansion included the opening of an office in the mongolian capital of ulan bator , to take part in prospecting and geological exploration in the south of the country .\nthe history of tatneft joint stock company goes all the way back to the 1950s and describes the road from the discovery of romashkinskoye oil field and establishment of a crude oil production trust to the creation and development of a russia ' s major vertically integrated crude oil company . of course , tatneft has had to undergo constant adjustments in the fast changing world , and today the company is radically different from the tatneft that existed five years ago . the modern tatneft is not just a production company , it is a dynamically developing crude oil , gas and chemical holding . now , we can proudly say that a high professionalism , the ability to mobilize and an excellent ability to work and maintain discipline have always been and will be the major things on the way of company development . we have managed to achieve crude oil production stabilization and ensure conditions necessary for a further growth thereof . as of today , tatneft joint stock company operates in a stable manner under the market economy conditions , producing over 24 mmta . company ' s share of the russian market is over 8 % . with the view of ensuring company transparency for potential investors and partners , pricewaterhousecoopers has audited tatneft ' s us gaap financial reporting since 1997 . miller & lents evaluates company ' s crude oil and gas reserves in accordance with international standards . tatneft has become a base for numerous crude oil and gas processing and chemical enterprises of the republic of tatarstan . given the existing situation , the company is currently restructuring , integrating and diversifying its activity , and establishing a vertically integrated business scheme for the rt crude oil , gas and chemical complex under the auspices of tatneft . tatneft owns 63 % of the shares of the refinery under construction in nizhnekamsk . this refinery will become the world ' s fourth and russia ' s major heavy oil processing facility that will completely resolve the process issue of obtaining light crude oil products of european quality having a 82 - 84 % processing depth from high sulfur crude oil . the first refinery line will provide the first products , low sulfur diesel fuel , jet fuel and construction bitumens , in late 2001 . the company places a great emphasis on the development of an oil product retail sales network . the number of our own gas stations increased from 95 to 308 in 2000 . we plan to commission another 130 gas stations in 2001 . we are currently facing complex and wide scale tasks . the implementation of corporate plans will require major effort and dedication on the part of our company ' s personnel . we have no doubt that we are currently building a solid foundation for a stable future business and we are certain of a successful implementation of all our strategic tasks .\njsc tatneft gets into contacts with officials of the oil companies of iran , iraq , vietnam , mongolia , jordan , china , egypt , and italy . the kalmtatneft joint venture was founded in kalmykia for exploration and development of oil fields . the volumes of exploration and production drilling increased almost twofold .\nin spite of the bleak situation , there were some reasons for optimism in 1999 . tatneft made its biggest profit in five years , earning $ 311 million on revenues of $ 1 . 83 billion . production was in line with previous years . the company also embarked on a project to expand its retail network from 80 gas stations at the time to 500 stations by 2005 . they would be located near the facilities that refined tatneft ' s gas , in moscow , st . petersburg , the middle volga , and the ukraine . the project was part of a trend toward increased vertical integration .\nthe procedure for disclosing information in pjsc tatneft is provided in accordance with the applicable law and requirements of the stock market and regulated by the provision on information policy and the provision on the use of insider information and the procedure for informing of the transactions with securities approved by the board of directors .\nthese changes soon had concrete results . an exploration and development joint venture was set up with manx petroleum of london . manx agreed to provide management , financing , and marketing for exploration in a 7 , 000 - square - kilometer area in northeast tatarstan , while tatneft would provide oil rights , manpower , and export services . in another overseas deal , the american tatex venture took on the job of drilling or refurbishing 50 wells in the onbysk field . a third international partnership in 1993 involved the swiss firm panoco s . a . tatneft and panoco agreed on a 50 / 50 joint venture to drill several thousand wells over the course of the next decade in eight tatarstan oil fields . the project would provide access to about 2 . 6 billion barrels of untapped reserves . although production from the joint ventures accounted for only a small part of tatneft ' s operations , the partnerships were useful in contributing new technologies and efficient techniques .\ntatneft company has signed a quadripartite cooperation agreement with the ministry of natural resources and ecology of the russian federation , the federal supervisory natural resources management service and the government of the republic of tatarstan . the parties have also signed a list of environmental measures planned for the year of ecology in the russian federation in 2017 .\nthe \u2018gifted children\u2019 special foundation , set up with the help of tatneft , provides huge financial support for talented children , which is a significant contribution to the official efforts aimed at upbringing of highly literate future generations . another tatneft - funded organization , the ruhiyat spiritual revival foundation , also carries out comprehensive charity activities in arts and literature . besides , tatneft also provides enormous funds for the construction and reconstruction of mosques and churches in south - eastern tatarstan . the company has also distinguished itself in terms of bankrolling development of sports in general , and ice hockey in particular , in the republic . for instance , the ak bars hockey team , sponsored by the oil giant , has successively won the russian national hockey championship titles back - to - back in recent years . besides , the company is currently executing a long - term popular sports development program aimed at building additional new sports facilities in the republic that can be used for various sporting activities by thousands of children ."]}

brow - ine had potential , williams , doing business in chicago as maybell laboratories , on april 24 , 1917 , trademarked the name as a \u201cpreparation for stimulating the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes . \u201d in honor of his sister mabel ( she married chet hewes in 1926 ) , williams renamed his mascara \u201cmaybelline . \u201d\nwhatever new formula they are using in the ultra liner waterproof eyeliner is definitely causing eyelid problems . i have used maybelline for over 10 years and have never had a problem . along with many of the other reviews in reference to this particular reaction , my eyes swell as well a couple hours after applying it . never using any of their products again .\nli here , i have heard that maybelline baby skin instant pore eraser is one of the best in the market , so i after a few months from not using any i decided not to go back to the one i used before and bought myself maybelline instant pore eraser . immediately after using it , i noticed that my vision went blurry especially on my left eye . i thought it might be nothing so when i got to work i wiped it off and my left eye was left with a haze . i skipped 3 days , though vision on my left eye had remained blurry . i then tried it again this morning and the same thing happened and i wiped it off immediately and my vision became poorer .\n\u201cin 1915 , when a kitchen stove fire singed his sister mabel\u2019s lashes and brows , tom lyle williams watched in fascination as she performed what she called \u2018a secret of the harem\u2019 \u2013 mixing petroleum jelly with coal dust and ash from a burnt cork and applying it to her lashes and brows , \u201d sharrie williams writes in her 2007 book , the maybelline story .\naccording to the company , maybelline got its start with a lash and brow product . in 1915 , a young woman named mabel williams mixed coal dust with vaseline and used it to beef up her lashes after singing them off in an accident . her brother tom lyle williams took the idea and ran with it , producing a product \u2014 sans coal \u2014 commercially . he called it lash - brow - ine and the product became popular via mail order . he called his new company maybelline ( mabel + vaseline ) and a brand was born . apparently women have always wanted cara delevingne brows ! also interesting : the company & apos ; s claim that the products are\npure and harmless .\nsafe cosmetics , always desirable .\nas the world prepared for the coming of y2k , maybelline started the party early with the release of millennial favorite full \u2018n soft . the dynamic formula made quite a splash with its ability to lengthen and thicken lashes without leaving them stiff or brittle , as well as its unforgettable promo ad featuring the hottest vampire slayer in hollywood . we heart you forever , buffy .\nsemiotic signs are being used everywhere , even if we are not always aware of it . we especially see semiotic signs in advertising ; it is a part of our everyday lives so that companies can sell their products . what we do have to realize is that what these companies tell us is not exactly true , \u201cmaybe she\u2019s born with it . maybe it\u2019s maybelline . \u201d this does not mean that if every woman wears maybelline products that they are going to become beautiful instantly by societies terms and people will think that it is \u201cnatural beauty . \u201d we need to be aware of semiotic signs since they are used in our everyday lives , it is definitely an interesting part of our lives and we can learn a lot from them .\nin 1990 , maybelline changed hands again , this time to investment firm wasserstein perella & co . one of the most famous ad slogans of all time was also introduced during this decade :\nmaybe she & apos ; s born with it . maybe it & apos ; s maybelline .\n( admit it . you just sang the jingle in your head . ) christy turlington featured prominently in commercials during the & apos ; 90s . l & apos ; oreal acquired the brand in 1996 and still owns it . over the last 20 years , the brand has signed buzzy models like jourdan dunn , gigi hadid , adriana lima , freja beha erichsen , jessica white , charlotte free and shu pei qin , and sponsored global fashion weeks .\nin 1920 , lyle\u2019s decision to use the name lash - brow - ine came back to bite him . in that year he lost an appeal over a trademark dispute with benjamin ansehl of st . louis , misssouri . the loss meant that the business could no longer use the name lash - brow - ine and this cemented the use of maybelline in all later branding and advertising .\ni have been using maybelline products for many years . after more than a year of unusual burning skin rashes on my face and neck and literally ten different allergists and dermatologists , i finally concluded all this is due to the products i have used for so long . i went on vacation where it was very hot . we spent a lot of time in the pool so i didn ' t wear any makeup for a solid week . it was the first time i have been completely clear in more than a year ! as soon as i started my normal routine again , the terrible skin condition came back . i now have to find other products , which is so hard to do and very costly . maybelline , what did you do ? ? ? sadly a former customer . . .\nperhaps using coal dust or some other readily available darkening agent , she applied the mixture to her eyelashes for a date . her brother , thomas lyle williams , was intrigued by her method and decided to add vaseline in the mixture , notes a maybelline company history . another version of the story , written by his grandniece sharrie williams , has mabel demonstrating \u201ca secret of the harem\u201d for her brother .\nby this point , and as you can see from the above image , maybelline was king ( queen ? ) when it came to eye makeup . then in 1971 , the company cemented its hold on women & apos ; s lashes for good by launching the now - iconic pink and green great lash mascara . in the late & apos ; 60s , the company was sold to schering - plough .\nthese upgrades in products and packaging along with the more sober advertising helped make maybelline products more acceptable to middle america and the department stores in which many of them made their cosmetic purchases . given that the 1934 cosmetic survey by \u2018woman\u2019s home companion\u2019 did not include eyeshadow , mascara and eye pencil because they were not considered important to their readers , anything that fostered sales to middle america would be to the company\u2019s benefit .\nan attempt was made to bring manufacturing in house in the later part of the 1950s . the company hired a cosmetic chemist named julius wagman to formulate and refine its magic mascara ( 1958 ) but operations were shut down by a chicago fire inspector and once again manufacture went private - label , this time by the munk chemical company . munk would go on to supply maybelline with the materials for many of its later products .\nsw : she followed her new husband to hot springs arkansas in 1974 and found out he and his ex - wife had plans to kill her and take all her money . she survived , but got mixed up with a business partner who exploited her in the bible belt . she opened her hollywood palace dinner theater and receive death threats . you have to read the book to find out what really happened to miss maybelline .\nin 1931 , in an attempt to improve sales , maybelline introduced a ten - cent trial \u2018purse size\u2019 product that could be ordered using a mail - order coupon . this was so successful that it was eventually made available through point - of - sale outlets as well . moves were also made to improve the company\u2019s distribution system , particularly outside of the chicago area , and packaging and display cartons were redesigned to make them more visible .\ntoday , both vaseline , now part of unilever , and maybelline , a subsidiary of l\u2019or\u00e9al , continue with highly successful products , distantly removed from northwestern pennsylvania\u2019s antique derricks and oil wells . unilever\u2019s park avenue public relations agency , m booth & associates of new york , proclaims : \u201cfrom vaseline petroleum jelly \u2013 the \u2018wonder jelly\u2019 introduced in 1870 , to vaseline intensive care lotion\u2026vaseline products have helped deliver healthy , moisturized skin for 135 years . \u201d\nthe size of the company facilities on north ridge avenue were not large . this was possible because the company did not make any products themselves but rather sourced all of their products from private - label manufacturers . the cake mascara had originally been made by maybelline but had been spun off as a separate company , de luxe mascara , in 1933 . this meant that the north ridge avenue site only had to have space for packaging , distribution and administration .\nunlike maybelline , which is appealing a similar decision , procter & gamble , which makes covergirl , agreed to eschew fake eyelashes in mascara marketing or disclose that they are being used in the main body of ads . laura brinker , a procter & gamble spokeswoman , said that the company was among the first to disclose using lash inserts even in fine print , and that it has \u201ctaken a leadership position\u201d in agreeing to be more transparent in the future .\nsw : my father , was raised by his mother evelyn and his uncle tom lyle , after his father preston died . when the maybelline company sold , my father inherited a fortune overnight and all of our lives changed . it was a blessing and a curse , having so much so soon and it went to my grandmother\u2019s head . she was always beautiful even in her 70\u2019s and when she got involved with a younger man and quickly married him , she took us all out of her will . it was a nightmare to say the least , but it forced me to finally grow up and develop myself into a real person . when i was young and so spoiled by my grandmother i never cared to do anything but shop and look beautiful . after her death i wanted to go back to school and write my book . it took many years , but in the end the maybelline story was told .\nsw : tom lyle renamed his first eye beauty product lash - brow - ine , to maybelline in honor of his sister mabel who gave him the idea for mascara , in 1915 . she had burned her lashes and brows tried to make them grow back and look darker by mixing a concoction of vaseline and ash from a burned cork in her hand and applying it to her brows and lashes . tom lyle took the idea to a chemist and maybell laboratories was born .\nchicago chemist tom lyle williams invented maybelline cake mascara , the first modern eye cosmetic made for everyday use . the product was named after williams\u2019 older sister , maybel , who inspired its creation . maybel wanted to enhance her eyelashes and brows and had previously relied on petroleum jelly and coal dust . williams saw an opportunity to improve upon his sister\u2019s beauty hack by adapting the formula for easy application , allowing the product to both darken and shape her lashes for a more dramatic effect .\nsw : yes ! tom lyle worked to build the brand using the biggest stars in hollywood to represent maybelline and his brother , my grandfather preston ran to hollywood to hob nob with them . especially with clara bow . however , it was also preston who called his brother and said , \u201cget out here , it\u2019s paradise . \u201d tom lyle and his partner emery flew to hollywood and soon rented clara bow\u2019s beach house in the malibu colony . all very exciting in those days .\nthe use of movie stars remained an important part of maybelline\u2019s advertising strategy but , in the 1930s , endorsements from actresses were more sober in tone , a reflection of changes in the motion picture industry which adopted self -

[ 8 ]\nmorfik ' s solution to this growth in complexity is our revolutionary javascript synthesis technology ( jst ) . using morfik , you implement the business logic of your application using a high - level object oriented language and morfik compiles your code into javascript .\nmorfik language has no syntax of its own , just semantic meaning . developers code using syntaxes from familiar high - level languages such as c # , pascal and basic , and morfik implements a compiler that maps these to the underlying morfik language .\nlearn how morfik is the ideal solution for you . select from our list of user scenarios to find out about the benefits morfik will bring to your design environment .\nmorfik provides a number different options for deploying your web solutions . for a complete instruction on how to deploy morfik web applications please refer to application deployment overview article .\njust as morfik now supports the usage of flash and flex , if it becomes an accepted standard , morfik will support doing the same with silverlight , for example .\nit ' s easy with morfik to write applications that support multiple devices . morfik uses a development model that minimises the work required for supporting devices with different form factors .\nmorfik browser applications can be deployed to any standard hosting environment with no special requirement .\nyou might try looking at urltoken which a blog dedicated to morfik . there you will find links to a couple of morfik user communities . you can then ask around .\nwe use morfik for a variety of purposes , all intranet based . we are looking at the migration of all in - house corporate applications being refactored into morfik applications .\nmorfik is a new product , and as such , the community is still growing . although morfik 1 has been around for awhile , morfik 2 is the first version that makes it easy to develop plugins and other third party tools . now there are small websites starting to appear that create plugins and support morfik . ( urltoken for example ) .\nin order to give the developers the advantage of using their familiar programing language of choice , morfik offers three products , namely morfik bx , morfik cx and morfik fx that have the specific framework and sample code for visual basic , c # and object pascal respectively . the objective is to free the programmer from the need for mastering a new syntax .\nmorfik xapp hosting is a new service that aims to simplify deployment by automating the process right out of the development environment . for additional information please refer to morfik integrated hosting .\nthe framework options in the compiler section of morfik options allows the user to specify paths for the morfik framework and other libraries . the options in this area are the following :\ni have 1 worry about the altium / morfik link up which is that it is perhaps more based on prior knowledge and friendship than really being the absolute best alliance for morfik .\nthe morfik framework provides the following thttpserver descendant classes for handling different kinds of http requests .\nyou should see a morfik application running in the browser shortly after pressing the run button .\nwith the release of gwt , it seems morfik has seen too much crossover with their own jst product -

browser compatibility and maintenance of the external and the embedded javascript code .\nah sorry , bad wording on my part . i actually meant the database engine and middleware crap that morfik uses .\nbecause they used their ide to create a replica of gmail : urltoken a il _ demo [ morfik . com ]\nthanks for the response . what about morfik ' s support for parallel development with multiple developers on the same project ?\nso , i since morfik supports firebird intrinsically , i would say that yes , morfik can scale well to a larger environment without trouble . as for firebird support , it has one of the most active user communities on the web .\nthe html / xml / css / javascript code combination that the morfik compiler generates for running in the browser is entirely standards -

side processing . morfik could even be described as a tool for developing client / server systems , where both the client and the server use only web standards technology .\nexperienced visual basic developers should have very little trouble becoming productive with morfik bx . this version of morfik allows you to write not only the server side of your application in basic , but the code that will run within the browser as well .\nmorfik seems like great technology , but google web toolkit is in no way associated with morfik or based on its technology . there have been some rumors circulating on this list that have been causing some confusion , and i wanted to clarify .\nfrom their site :\nwhat is the morfik pioneers program ? the morfik pioneers program is for technology visionaries , commentators and practitioners who see the current web as an embryonic form of a global operating system and the webos as major development in this process . . . . the morfik pioneers program allows such enthusiastic individuals . . . to contribute to its evolution within this vision . . . . pioneers will be able to influence the direction of morfik ' s technology and to share insights about future direction\ngenerate morfikspace image file this option is used for managing the\nproject image\ncreated on amazon s3 during production deployment using the morfik integrated hosting . these images are accessible online ( from secure websites ) and can be deployed on selected morfik hosting servers .\nmorfik combines elements of all it specialization areas into the development of web applications in order to make the whole process more productive .\nall in all , morfik is one of the best development environments for building ajax - based rich internet applications ( ria ) .\ndetails of the purchase altium will acquire morfik in a scrip transaction with altium issuing 13 . 3 million fully paid ordinary shares ( representing between 14 % and 15 % of outstanding shares ) for 100 % of morfik\u2019s outstanding shares . all members of morfik\u2019s team will join altium and altium will acquire all morfik\u2019s ip and other assets , which are located in sydney , hobart , and kiev in the ukraine . morfik\u2019s ceo , aram mirkazemi , will join altium as chief of engineering , part of altium\u2019s senior management team . he will work with altium\u2019s founder and ceo / cto nick martin on defining r & d strategy and directing product development .\nwe are using svn for versioning . it is not integrated into morfik . and morfik has some problems ( not really designed for multiple developers ) , the project file itself stores too much information and some files are automatically deleted or renamed on the disk . it ' s troublesome but not hopeless , there are workarounds . and morfik guys say they will address these in future releases .\nso , in terms of support ( not community but staff ) you should not worry . it ' s still far from being a mature product but it does the job . our relationship with morfik is a love and hate one . i am quite sure our big project will be successfully completed with morfik , and i can do small enterprise solutions with morfik very ( i mean very ) fast . but i would also really think again to use morfik if we do a big project like we are doing now .\nusers of microsoft ' s visual basic should feel relatively at ease working within morfik ' s development environment . though not directly inspired by visual basic , morfik supports basic language in the form of a dialect that is not too different from microsoft ' s implementation .\nmorfik webos appsbuilder is described as \u201ca complete professional design tool for creating , managing and deploying dynamic web 2 . 0 applications . we first wrote about it in july 2007 ( see \u201cweb applications without tears\u201d ) . our main criticism at that time was its price -

of - use .\nbeing a morfik user for the last 2 - 3 months , trying to do a quite large project . i totally understand your concern .\nmorfik says that scriptor , a utility built into their webos appsbuilder platform , enables development of applications for products such as the iphone . to prove that point , morfik used scriptor to develop ichess , a working example of an iphone application . that link is the iphone version , but see also urltoken for a browser version . it is a chess app , a favorite prototyping app of morfik . it is running on ec2 now and can be used by purchasers of the iphone on friday . also developers can download the appsbuilder with scriptor now from morfik\u2019s homepage .\nmorfik , however , allows the use of object pascal to program not only the server side of a web application , but its browser side as well . morfik 2 . x has an advanced form designer and a large number of design - related features added to its visual editors . programming a morfik application is , in many ways , very similar to programming a delphi application . the morfik framework uses many concepts that will be immediately familiar to any delphi developer , from high - level objects such as forms to the smaller helper classes such as string lists .\nbesharati : morfik as a company has been developing the technologies which comprise the webos appsbuilder for the past seven years and all the sophisticated stuff that morfik does is standards based . all technologies which become accepted and actively used web standards are being and will continue to be incorporated into the toolset that is available to the morfik developer and not only that but it will be leveraged to propel developer productivity to even higher levels .\nmorfik requires that project files are kept on a local hard disk . the reason is that the morfik database server needs to have exclusive access to the project database file ( . mxd ) and that is not possible on shares ( mapped network drives via windows networking or samba ) .\nthe first commerciawwy reweased version of morfik awso supported an impwementation of de java wanguage syntax cawwed morfikj . support for dis wanguage syntax was dropped wif de rewease of morfik 2 . 0 and its users moved to de c # syntax due to its cwose proximity to dat of morfikj .\nwhat does this message mean ?\na version of firebird is already installed on your system . do you want to install morfik firebird ?\nbitwise : i understand that morfik has taken out patents on some technologies . can you explain what these patents protect and why they are necessary ?\nfor those who see morfik as a way to develop their own pc - based web - apps today ( most morfik customers today ) , we would hope you will stick around and work with us as we undertake the next stage of this journey . at the very least you will be able to benefit from the work we intend to do \u2013 work which we hope will take morfik\u2019s web - application development model to the next level .\nwhile other companies concentrate on segregating different aspects of web application design and development , morfik takes a different approach . in line with its basic philosophy of simplicity and empowerment , morfik is committed to removing the distinction between designers and developers and instead brings the power of sophisticated design tools to a development environment . at the same time , morfik is committed to making these powerful features as easy to use as possible , benefiting both designers and developers .\nmorfik add - on packages dramatically increase the speed of development through widgets with ready - made functionality and seamless integration with external libraries and web services .\nmorfik supports a single programming language , but that language does not have syntax of its own ; only a set of semantic rules . on top of these rules , morfik implements three syntaxes \u2013 pascal , basic , and c # \u2013 so that you can use the language syntax of your choice .\nmorfik integrates aww de components reqwired to buiwd a web - based appwication into a singwe package , incwuding a firebird database and an apache web server .\nin addition to morfik ' s own web site urltoken , de company has a set of showcase appwications , buiwt wif morfik , which are used in conjunction wif de web site . these appwications incwude : discussion forums , issue tracker and onwine videos web site dat cwosewy resembwes de youtube web site .\nif you want an app in a short time and not very robust morfik is indicated , if you want something more i do not recommend it .\na couple of weeks ago google released its google web toolkit ( gwt ) and almost immediately there were rumors of an alliance between google and morfik , the web os vendor which has a javascript converter as one of its main products . the reason ? gwt bore more than a casual resemblance to morfik .\nwith morfik version 3 and altium designer release 10 , both companies have reached their next inflection point . at this point we have chosen to join forces to pursue the next stage . we believe that together altium and morfik can empower those who choose to develop the device - based ecosystems that will be needed .\nmorfik technology pty ltd . , an australian company , is the developer of morfik , a set of visual designers , compilers and a framework combined in an integrated development environment ( ide ) aimed at developing ajax applications in a high - level language such as java , c # , basic or object pascal .\nhello abdu yes i accept criticism , and morfik by it self is totally free of charge , the two small project i deployed we do not pay , and use our existing infrastructure , for other project , yes my customer will need to pay for the server hosting , and have to pay to me too for the develop , but no for morfik . that what i mean . ( i think we need to support morfik when we sell some project ) . liriano\nmorfik redefines web development by combining graphical design and visual programming in a single environment , dramatically reducing the time required to build modern web applications that provide rich and engaging user experiences . morfik enables developers to produce professional user interfaces without the help of a graphic designer or the need to use specialised graphics design software . a key enabler for this is the ability of all user interface objects to manage their graphical properties during the design process and while the application is running . this means that user interface objects are aware of both their graphical and functional states . morfik provides a powerful and yet simple model for defining graphical properties , harnessing the power of the morfik ribbon and an extensive gallery of graphical effects . you will be amazed how easy it is to create stunning visual effects in morfik !\n3 . 4 what does this message mean ?\na version of firebird is already installed on your system . do you want to install morfik firebird ?\nbitwise : let\u2019s say that i want to use the development features of morfik but display some data in a flash - based \u2018front end\u2019 . is that possible ?\nif there is something preventing people from writing great applications , it certainly is not javascript\u2019s feature set . and this is what the morfik folks got fundamentaly wrong .\nthis info is obsolete . for example in subsequent releases the question of creating clean urls was addressed in the product . that is related with morfik 1 . x only ; ) also , you are able to deploy your project as iis plugin or apache\nextension\nor even as browser only . you can using of javascript inside of morfik too . calling to external js functions or write such functions inside your code . invoking of your morfik code through js too . manipulation through dom is available too . there was even css examples in old morfik versions like their first morfikmenu . sometimes reading the documentation can give the right answers faster .\n\u201ci\u2019m seriously excited about morfik . i love it . as i was reading through the morfik site my eyes got as big as saucers ! i was literally bouncing on my seat saying , \u2018that\u2019s what i\u2019ve been looking for ! morfik made me realise , \u2018hey , i\u2019ve done this before . i know how to do this ! \u2019 i wanted to start putting stuff on the form , compiling it , and running it . it ' s the best investment i ever made .\nmorfik 2 . 0 installations have full compatibility with previous releases . each version of morfik 2 . 0 uses a unique installation folder ( unless changed during installation ) . this means different installations can co - exist and even run in parallel . in contrast the project folder and the application settings folder are shared by all installations .\nthe generated code by morfik has cross - browser compatibility . applications that are created by morfik ( for example this site ) can be accessed by firefox , ie6 , ie7 , safari , opera and chrome browsers . there have been some issues with ie8 beta which we will fix as soon as the final version is released .\ni still do not yet see the concept of \u201cecosystems\u201d and how it pertains to morfik or how it will help me\u2026or maybe do\u2026i just don\u2019t know . morfik can make a web app act like like a desktop app in many ways from development to deployment . i love the ease of deployment . i , like many morfik developers , come from a delphi background \u2013 we just like to help each other and make a strong use of forums and alike . if \u201cecosystems\u201d means easy cloud deployment to morfik then that is great . i guess my main concern after reading the executive letters is that i hope morfik 3 . 0 ( and 3 . 5 and 4 . 0 ) will continue towards release as it is currently presented . i bought 2 . x based on 3 . 0\u2019s description , mission and feature set .\nmorfik provides a wide range of easy - to - use advanced graphical tools without resorting to an external image editing tool or requiring advanced graphics skills on the part of the developer . based on the developer\u2019s design specification , morfik automatically generates images at compile time and efficiently incorporates them into html and javascript at runtime through the highly effective image - bundling technique performed by the compiler . unlike other tools for building rich internet applications , morfik achieves this without the need for proprietary extensions for the browser .\nthat was a couple of weeks ago , well before today ' s press release . i await with interest google ' s response to morfik ' s press release .\nthe morfik development environment , many of its database - related concepts and the morfik framework have been closely modeled on similar features in access . the multi - band forms and the stored queries with their visual designer are two such examples . morfik ' s choice of built - in database engine was also , in someways , influenced by access . this is because firebird provides the same ease of movement , having the entire database contained in a single file , as you get from an access mdb file .\nin september 2005 , it demonstrated a pre - beta version of its fwagship product , morfik at de web 2 . 0 conference . [ 2 ] morfik was a major sponsor of dis conference . [ 3 ] rumors spread just before de conference dat robert scobwe , microsoft ' s wead evangewist , dought dat microsoft shouwd buy morfik , [ 4 ] however , dis was qwickwy waid to rest by scobwe himsewf . [ 5 ] at de conference , morfik showed how web appwications couwd be designed for bof onwine as weww as offwine use , via its ' unpwugged ' vision , by demonstrating an ' unpwugged ' version of googwe ' s gmaiw dat couwd function offwine .\nthis info is obsolete . for example [ quote ] in subsequent releases the question of creating clean urls was addressed in the product .

[ 6 ]\nwe chose not to use firebird as the db ( morfik supports it natively ) and going with postgresql over odbc . there are issues to overcome there too . we had to dive in and modify ( override ) our own security wrapper for postgre etc . but overall , morfik integrates with it quite fine . you should be prepared to small annoyances though .\n( the indy sockets library is an open - source library that supports http and many other protocols . it is used in morfik when calling a webservice published by another xapp . )\nmorfik - built applications are , by default , stateless on the server - side , which makes them lightweight in memory consumption and ideally suited for load balancing in server farm environments .\nto get a better sense of just how familiar morfik should feel to a delphi developer , take a look at the source code for one of the forms in the morfik fx bookcollector sample application . a careful examination will reveal that although there are some differences to the source code of a unit that contains a delphi form , there are obviously many more similarities .\nrecent recognition of the value of mapping a high - level language to javascript by key stalwarts of the ajax world has confirmed the viability and strategic importance of morfik technology ' s many years of pioneering work in this area . morfik ' s vision of ' browser as computing platform ' embodied by its javascript synthesis technology , ' jst ' is now gaining mainstream acceptance .\nhello rafael . then morfik is not totally free of charge , is necessary to buy certain packages to be able to publish . i hope that you accept criticism , and thank you .\nthis group is composed of those who either professionally or as hobbyists develop applications for desktop platforms such as windows , linux or os x . if you fall into this group , especially if you are a professional developer , you should feel right at home with morfik . in introducing rapid application development ( rad ) aspects into web development , morfik has developed a tool that works in a similar fashion to visual development tools such as visual studio , delphi and netbeans . in fact , morfik has expanded on this base without making the resulting environment any harder to use .\nthe community of expertise that has developed around morfik and its technology is a precious resource for this undertaking . we see the morfik customer base today ( something that we would like to see grow significantly ) as an important starting point for the evolution of a community of web - application developers who can develop the web - applications that are an important part of these future ecosystems .\nrecent recognition of the value of mapping a high - level language to javascript by key stalwarts of the ajax world has confirmed the viability and strategic importance of morfik technology many years of pioneering work in this area . morfik ' s vision of\nbrowser as computing platform\nembodied by its javascript synthesis technology ,\njst\n( patent pending ) is now gaining mainstream acceptance .\nto the visual designer , morfik offers a canvas on which to paint a website . a quick look at the bookcollector sample that comes with the product will show that almost no code went into creating that application . anyone with the skill set necessary to create the overall design for a website should approach morfik as a design tool to build a website in only a short time .\nmorfik ' s pages are therefore entities that represent a certain application state that the user will view within the browser . when you design a page are defining an application state and naiming it so that it can later be referenced by other parts of the application . pages are published and made identifiable by their names as morfik defines a valid url for them , within your application .\nthttpresponse class in the morfik framework provides various fields for setting these headers . setting http response headers is something that would most likely be done in the context of implementing a custom http server .\nin december 2010 , native connectivity to postgresql is made avaiwabwe to morfik users as a freewy downwoadabwe package . this add - on package awso provides connectivity to mysql and ms sql server databases .\nyes , applications created with morfik can be deployed to an iis web server . please see the deployment on windows article for specific instructions on how to deploy your application to different versions of iis .\nyes , applications created with morfik can be deployed to an apache web server . to find out more , click here if deploying on linux platform or for windows environment click on deployment on windows .\nthis article requires updates for compliance with morfik 3 . further information might be found on the navigation menus and organizing your applications functionality talk page .

qaeda and its affiliates :\njust because google and in - q - tel have both invested in recorded future doesn ' t mean google is suddenly in bed with the government . of course , to google ' s critics \u2013 including conservative legal groups , and republican congressmen \u2013 the obama administration and the mountain view , california , company slipped between the sheets a long time ago .\nthat ' s the good news . the not quite so good news is that to really make this tool sing you need to spend some time with it . to make that painless , recorded future sends daily emails after you sign on for the first time telling you what to do next . in less than a week you ' re an expert .\noverall , we see this tool as a\nmust have\nfor any serious threat analyst . pricing is variable depending on configuration . in addition to the basic system , recorded future can integrate with a variety of third - party devices , such as siems , and services such as maltego . it has a dedicated service for addressing the dark web .\nthe investment arms of the cia and google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time \u2013 and says it uses that information to predict the future .\nrecorded future has been around since 2008 , but it ' s been getting more attention in recent years . when the company first launched , it considered itself an intelligence platform for anyone trying to get an idea of what ' s going on in the world . it wanted to be the go - to automated intelligence platform for any operation big or small .\nthat ' s primarily why the global air transport technology company sita uses recorded future . sita provides the backend it and communications technologies for nearly all aspect of air travel , and its customers consist of airlines , airports , and even governments . big players in the airline industry are frequently facing cyber threats , so it needed a way to analyze potential attacks .\nbased on the analysis of the recorded experts conducted through the reverse engineering of the encryption application used by the member of al -

qaeda could split around al - zawahiri , and that al - qaeda sees advantage to be taken in the arab pro - democracy protests . a couple of months later , al - zawahiri was confirmed , although experts were sceptical about whether he could unite the membership in saudi arabia and the gulf states behind him .\nbut it should go without saying that this proves nothing about causation ; it is a basic logical principle that \u201ca precedes b\u201d is not evidence that \u201ca caused b . \u201d the original recorded future report literally did nothing more than assert that there were visible encryption improvements from al - qaeda that post - dated the first snowden story , and then , based on no evidence , just asserted the causal link .\nin damage control mode , snowden\u2019s defenders first responded to the recorded future analysis by pooh - poohing the terrorists\u2019 push for new encryption tools . bruce schneier declared that the change might actually hurt al qaeda : \u201ci think this will help us intelligence efforts . cryptography is hard , and the odds that a home - brew encryption product is better than a well - studied open - source tool is slight . \u201d\nfor example , punching the word\nprotest\ninto the dashboard of his software product pulled up a real - time map of areas around the world where conversations about future protests were taking place .\nas it turns out , recorded future and reversing labs discovered that al - qaida didn ' t just tinker at the edges of its seven - year - old encryption software ; it overhauled it . the new programs no longer use much of what ' s known as\nhomebrew ,\nor homemade algorithms . instead , al - qaida has started incorporating more sophisticated open - source code to help disguise its communications .\nanother way is to examine the next two weeks of a particular business ' s future and look for certain events . one is insiders selling stock . you may think this would be a good time to sell ; in fact , insiders often sell just after stocks have already peaked . so recorded future looks for data that can be combined with this knowledge . if an insider sells stock after a management lay - off , stock falls on average 1 . 5 per cent . expand this event to a whole market and\nyou have 2 , 000 events within 2011 ,\nsays ahlberg .\nby turning it into a big data screen , i have created my own skewed roulette wheel i can consistently bet on .\nchris malloy is an associate professor at harvard business school who specialises in behavioural finance . he ' s played with recorded future ' s data :\ni haven ' t seen anything with that ability . it ' s pretty neat - - no one ' s doing that . the predictability is certainly good .\nin response to the snowden\u2019s revelations , members of a terrorist group of al - qaeda have started using alternative encryption mechanisms to avoid the adoption of alleged flawed cryptographic algorithms debated in the last months . the threat intelligence company , recorded future , has published a detailed report to demonstrate that members of al - qaeda have adopted new encryption applications for the first time , the firm also linked the event to the snowden revelations .\nsayles m , jain m , barker ra ( 2004 ) the cellular repair of the brain in parkinson ' s disease - - past , present and future . transpl immunol 12 : 321 - 342 .\ncritically , even if one wanted to accept recorded future\u2019s timeline as true , there are all sorts of plausible reasons other than snowden revelations why these groups would have been motivated to develop new encryption protections . one obvious impetus is the august 2013 government boasting to mcclatchy ( and the daily beast ) that the state department ordered the closing of 21 embassies because of what it learned from an intercepted \u201cconference call\u201d among al qaeda leaders :\non april 1 , 2009 , a few months after ahlberg and truv\u00e9 began testing this combination , ahlberg met rich miner , the co - creator of the android mobile operating system ( with andy rubin ) and a partner at google ventures , at the starbucks on harvard square , massachusetts . miner was impressed :\nwe believed there was predictive power in the information contained in the web ,\nhe says .\nif you can organise that information temporally , then you can look at past and present , and infer things from the future . that ' s pretty unique so far from recorded future .\nthe cia thought so , too .\nthe company is called recorded future , and it scours tens of thousands of websites , blogs and twitter accounts to find the relationships between people , organizations , actions and incidents \u2013 both present and still - to - come . in a white paper , the company says its temporal analytics engine\ngoes beyond search\nby\nlooking at the ' invisible links ' between documents that talk about the same , or related , entities and events .\nwe\u2019re taking on this subject in much more depth jointly with the liquid newsroom during the next several weeks . in the meantime , it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on what other angles are worth exploring : more on ties to ows or looking at the internal politics of 15 - m or the shifts in media coverage ? you can check out the movimiento 15 - m report live in recorded future to follow along just as we are doing .\nyou can explore the past , present , and predicted future of almost anything in a matter of seconds . our analysis tools facilitate deep investigation to better understand complex relationships , resulting in actionable insights for threat intelligence teams .\nno wonder that there is so much information available . recorded future claims to have the world ' s largest saas platform targeting over 750 , 000 sources , including forums , paste sites , blogs and social media , over 30 threat feeds , a tor collection with hundreds of new pages added daily , code repositories and technical collections . it is a prodigious resource . all of this comes from over seven years of collecting . that also gives a solid historical picture as well .\nrussell , as noted , is young . so maybe he didn ' t realize that he was taking the prank war too far by coaxing young into admitting infidelity with a 19 - year - old girl he met at a club while russell surreptitiously recorded . live and learn !\nthe thing that is most impressive about recorded future is the breadth and depth of their coverage . the landing page at first blush is way too busy but at second blush it magically organizes itself and makes perfect sense . what starts out looking like a big , disorganized table really is a set of five very well - organized columns that let you drill down into attackers , methods , targets , operations and indicators . you can scroll down each of these columns , pick something of interest and drill further to get a lot of underlying information .\ni tried warning my fellow american citizens about this issue , but they did not listen to me . i may be only ninteen years old , but i know alot about my country , what it is becoming , and what will be become in the future .\nin sum , recorded future is a cia - dependent company devoted to spreading pro - government propaganda , no matter how absurd . among its lowlights is its boasting of how it monitored media coverage of occupy wall street , whereby it claimed to detect iran\u2019s \u201cgrowing influence\u201d over that coverage : \u201cwe recently tweeted a shared link showing coverage and gaining online momentum for the occupy wall street movement . when we look more carefully at influencers in this discussion using our influencer map , we find that iran press tv is the second largest influencer after the us media ! \u201d\nthe first generation of search engines , such as lycos and alta vista , used traditional text search to deliver web pages , deploying their own algorithms , but essentially looking at individual documents in isolation . google changed this in 1998 . its pagerank algorithm analysed the links between web pages , promoting those that had more links pointing to them from other sites . recorded future is part of the third generation : instead of explicit link analysis , it examines implicit links - - what it calls\ninvisible links\nbetween documents that refer to the same entities or events .\nahlberg is more willing to talk about how recorded future is being used in finance .\nif you take our momentum score , and look across s & p 500 companies , can you predict the liquidity or the stock volume of those companies over time ?\nasks ahlberg .\nit turns out you can .\nstock that is being talked about and is in investors ' attention is , of course , more likely to be traded :\nit ' s much easier to prove volume than direction , whether a stock is going up or down .\nso recorded future takes momentum and combines it with sentiment - - whether a company is mentioned in a positive light - - and derives a score . taking these news bursts across the s & p 500 , it can sort them into ten different groups , from high to low .\nthen you say , every day , ' i am going to own what is in the top and short what is in the bottom . ' you are making lots of small picks on a daily basis - this strategy turns over the portfolio 63 per cent every day .\nthe feasibility of large - scale regimen implementation would be greatly enhanced by reducing the duration of treatment . the two - year duration of mdr tuberculosis treatment is a major barrier to treatment adherence and programme scale - up . there is evidence that a six - month course of tuberculosis treatment can lead to good clinical outcomes if the right combination of drugs to which the infecting m . tuberculosis complex bacilli are susceptible is used . 1 , 28 future mdr tuberculosis regimens containing new classes of drugs to which there is no recorded resistance , such as bedaquiline and delamanid , could produce similar outcomes .\nso , recorded future is a company that strips out from web pages the sort of who , what , when , where , why \u2014 sort of who\u2019s involved , you know , where are they going , what kind of events are they going to . and the idea is to find hidden links between actors that might not necessarily have visible links between them . so , for example , if i\u2019m going to aruba and there happens to be , i don\u2019t know , you know , a terrorism conference in aruba , perhaps i\u2019m going to that terrorism conference . that\u2019s sort of the idea .\nthe recorded future \u201creport\u201d\u2014which was actually nothing more than a short blog post \u2014is designed to bolster the year - long fear - mongering campaign of u . s . and british officials arguing that terrorists would realize the need to hide their communications and develop effective means of doing so by virtue of the snowden reporting . predictably , former nsa general counsel stewart baker promptly seized on the report ( still concealing the firm\u2019s cia connections from readers ) to argue in the washington post that \u201cthe evidence is mounting that edward snowden and his journalist allies have helped al - qaeda improve their security against nsa surveillance . \u201d"]}

( you can see my tutorial for that here . ) but i have also become a mega fan of the other iced coffee option they offer \u2014 cold brew coffee . by contrast to traditional iced coffee , which is brewed hot and then served over ice to cool it down , cold brew coffee is brewed entirely with cold or lukewarm water over a longer period of time . and as such , you lose most of the acidity or bitterness that comes with brewing coffee with hot water , resulting in a deliciously smooth , sweet , and bitter - free coffee that tastes fabulous over ice .\nit\u2019s great waking up every morning and effortlessly brewing a perfect cup of coffee in under 4 minutes .\nwith this list of our favorites , you never have to worry about a bad coffee experience again .\nserve the coffee over iced , stirring in water to dilute the coffee at a 1 : 2 or 1 : 1 concentrate / water ratio .

made by steeping coarse - ground coffee in cold water for 12 or more hours , the cold - brew method produces a low - acid , smooth and concentrated coffee . unlike traditional coffee brewed with hot water , the cold - brew process minimizes bitterness . and since cold brew is more concentrated than regular coffee , you can add ice and milk without worrying that your drink will turn into lukewarm coffee - water . cold brew is pricier than your standard iced coffee , but you don\u2019t need to book a trip to san francisco ( or drop $ 4 at starbucks ) to enjoy a cold caffeinated beverage because it\u2019s super - easy to make at home .\nmade in italy , this glossy cup & saucer set is the perfect way to drink your latte . our large cup holds 12 ounces , just right for your latte , your morning cafe au lait , or your after - dinner ice cream . both cup and saucer are made of professional - grade porcelain that ' s thick , sturdy , and retains heat well - that ' s why we use these cups at our own espresso bars . the gimme logo is baked right into the cup , so it will never chip or wear . and when you lift the cup to take a sip , you ' ll see the exclamation point on the custom saucer . sweet ! , features - made by d ' ancap in italy ; hard porcelain with inglaze firing ; 12 ounces ; glossy glaze ; gimme logo on cup ; gimme exclamation point on saucer ; microwave - safe\n5 . the truth will set you free : cold - brewing beyond iced coffee . another wonder of cold - brewing is the versatility of the product . because you\u2019re dealing with a more stable solution , you can do almost anything with it . if you like your coffee hot , add boiling water to the more concentrated syrup ; you\u2019ll have fresh hot coffee with the taste and low - acid benefits of cold - brewing . if you find that perfect strength cold - brewed mix , but don\u2019t want ice diluting it , freeze the mixture and use coffee ice - cubes . as they melt , the iced - coffee won\u2019t get any weaker . it\u2019s perfect for a picnic or a day on the beach . ( but be careful . ice cubes often pick up taste from the other things in your freezer . ) many recipes don\u2019t call for brewed coffee , because it\u2019s just too acidic , but cold - brewed coffee is perfect for adding the coffee flavor , without the acid . it\u2019s great for baking or marinating , and it\u2019s perfect for a nice cool coffee cocktail .\nthis is our fourth year working with the long miles coffee project , founded by ben and kristy carlson . they\u2019ve slowly gained the trust of coffee farmers with their reputable business practices and unwavering vision to show the world the potential . . .\natmospherically , the ithaca coffee on green street is quieter . its location makes it hard for it to get too much walk through traffic , making it a perfect spot to drink your coffee in a booth and do some work or reading .\nthis coffee is from the minas gerais region of brazil . located in the plateaus of the cerrado ecosystem , coffees from this region are known for their nutty , chocolaty flavor profiles , with this particular coffee showing exceptional consistency and a . . .\nbest coffee shop in nolita !

154 in favor of the boeing 737 and embraer erj - 120 . while this did remove fuel costs and open up new markets , the cost of owning the newer aircraft hurt atlant - soyuz\u2019s bottom line and sped up the carrier\u2019s transition from a profitable carrier to one in debt . in hopes of creating more widespread popularity with the russian people , the airline branded itself the \u201cairline of the moscow government\u201d after receiving a 25 % investment from the city of moscow . the backing of the city of moscow only partially stopped the bleed and within a few years the embraer erj -

olomouc motorway . driving in the direction from prague , at 201 km ( 125 miles ) there is a motorway exit marked\nslatina\nand the off - turn to the aerodrome is distinctly marked . the aerodrome is 2 km ( 1 . 25 miles ) from the motorway exit .\nyou can easily get to brno airport from the city centre using the direct bus line no . 76 which departs from the brno main train station from 04 : 30 am to 11 : 00 pm every half hour . after arrival , and before departure of the ryanair plane to london , the bus goes every 20 minutes .\nfrom the brno main train station the line 76 goes through the main bus station ( it stops near the tram terminus ) and continues directly to the final stop at brno airport . new bus line 89 connects brno airport with city centre and northwest suburb also during the night .\nthe travel time from the centre to the airport is exactly 20 minutes . for one journey you need a 2 - zone ticket valid for 40 minutes . these cost 22 czk for adults , 11 czk for children younger than 6 years or 80 czk for 24 hour ticket .\nfrom brno you can travel by regular connections directly to the 3 capitals - vienna ( austria ) , prague ( czech republic and bohemia ) and bratislava ( slovakia ) . the journeys to vienna and bratislava take 1 . 5 hours by train , to prague 2 . 5 hours by bus . there are also many connections to olomouc ( 1 . 5 hours ) , ostrava and northern moravia ( 2 hours ) and eastern moravia ( 1 . 5 hours ) .\nthe above content comes from wikipedia and is published under free licenses \u2013 click here to read more .\nwe don ' t guarantee the information is fresh and accurate . the data may be wrong or outdated .\nwhy not follow us on facebook to be the first to find out about the latest developments . let us know what you think of the site and tell us what features you want to see next .\ncomments , questions or feedback ? contact webmaster @ urltoken ( c ) 2017 nighthawk software ltd v . 1 . 3 . 4 . all rights reserved . aircraft header image ( c ) sergiy serdyuk . maps generated by the great circle mapper ( www . gcmap . com ) -

the red flags are alarming , including this recent tweet by jamil dakwar , director of the aclu\u2019s human rights program : \u201cisraeli leaders exploit horrible acts of anti - semitism to encourage jews to move to israel . judaism \u2260 zionism ; anti - zionism \u2260 anti - semitism . \u201d\nusing multiple social media platforms involving a global community of israel supporters of all faiths , members of the buycott network can call for a buycott to support a store being targeted for anti - israel boycott action . activists then selectively purchase from that store to offset and swamp the boycott effort .\ngreenblatt and guterres would agree with me that anti - zionism equals anti - semitism . to deny this connection is to deny reality . greenblatt even confronted the aclu directly in response to its top \u201chuman rights\u201d official making such a despicable statement .\nit is beyond doubt that boycott , divestment and sanctions ( bds ) is not just a pro - palestinian - anti - israel movement . it is at its core , antisemitic . in july . . .\nnotably , the israel anti - boycott act does not change the list of prohibited actions . the same actions that have been forbidden since 1979 if taken with the improper motive would remain forbidden under the proposed law .\nsuccesses are widely publicized so anti - israel activists know their campaigns were ineffective . as a result of buycott , we have seen a marked decrease in the number of boycott actions aimed at israel over the last two years .\none hundred national and local civil and human rights organizations endorsed a joint statement to members of congress expressing strong opposition to the israel anti - boycott act and calling on lawmakers to reject - rather than amend - the bill .\nso , in a way , the israel anti - boycott act , and the aclu\u2019s opposition to it , are each a perfect response to the conversation about the bds movement itself : confusing , pandering , and above all , angry .\nthe israel anti - boycott act principally seeks to amend the export administration act of 1979 . that law prohibits \u201cu . s . persons\u201d \u2014 a term that refers to both individuals and companies \u2014 from taking certain actions to comply with or support a boycott imposed by a foreign country against another country that is friendly to the united states .\nklein , jill g . , n . craig smith and andrew john ( 2004 ) ,\nwhy we boycott : consumer motivations for boycott participation ,\njournal of marketing , 68 ( july ) 2004 .\nthe complete and utter failure of the aclu to recognize anti - zionism as anti - semitism is unacceptable . that failure loans credence to those who say the aclu has become a political tool of the alt - left . given the storied history of this organization , that\u2019s a genuine tragedy .\nboycott agreements under the tra involve the denial of all or part of the foreign tax benefits discussed above .\nwhile signing it , he made a statement , objecting to parts of the law that oppose boycotts of jewish israeli enterprises in the west bank and golan heights . ( the law\u2019s anti - boycott protections apply to \u201cisrael\u201d and \u201cisraeli - controlled territories . \u201d )\nthe 1979 law responded to the arab league\u2019s boycott of israel . at the time , countries in the arab league would require u . s . businesses to boycott israel and israeli companies , and furnish information to verify the boycott , as a condition of doing business . to prevent foreign countries from dragooning u . s . businesses into these compulsory boycotts , the 1979 law prohibited u . s . companies from complying with foreign boycott requirements .\npaying , honoring , confirming or otherwise implementing a letter of credit that contains any prohibited boycott requirement or request .\n, \u201canti - semitism is a word that has been used throughout history when jewish people are judged and measured by one standard and the rest by another . so it is with anti - zionism ; the idea that all other peoples can seek and defend their right to self - determination , but jews cannot . \u201d\nthe arab league boycott of israel is the principal foreign economic boycott that u . s . companies must be concerned with today . the antiboycott laws , however , apply to all boycotts imposed by foreign countries that are unsanctioned by the united states .\nthe international trade team at holland & hart is well equipped to answer questions about current and proposed antiboycott regulations and how these regulations may affect your international operations . our team will provide updates on the israel anti - boycott act and the multi - state blockade of qatar as these situations develop .\nby ant\u00f3nio guterres , the sectary general of the united nations , who told the simon wiesenthal center that the \u201cdenial of israel\u2019s right to exist is anti - semitism . \u201d\nthe ear requires reports of receipts of boycott requests to be filed quarterly . reports may be filed electronically or by mail on form bis 621 - p for single transactions or bis 6051p for multiple transactions involving boycott requests received in the same calendar quarter .\nindeed , the bds movement is highly disingenuous about this very ambiguity , refusing to define exactly what it is for and what it\u2019s against . is the bds movement against israel\u2019s occupation , or against israel\u2019s existence ? is it for two states , or one state ? by refusing to clarify its aims , refusing to condemn terrorism , and refusing to silence the anti - semites within its ranks , the bds movement has left itself open to the right - wing charge that its anti - zionism is merely repackaged anti - semitism .\nthe threat of a boycott and its attendant publicity is probably far more important than the boycott itself . activists can now deploy an armoury of extra weapons to act as hard and soft levers on corporate behaviour , however . shareholder power is a growing force .\nif you really want to hit amazon where it hurts , mulpuru - kodali suggested an anti - boycott . amazon often sells certain products like diapers and toilet paper at costs so low , the company actually loses money on them \u2014 especially if it has to deliver them directly to amazon prime customers\u2019 doors in two days or less .\nthe israel anti - boycott act was introduced to reinforce bipartisan consensus that boycotting israel is inimical to u . s . foreign policy interests . the act simply extends existing u . s . law prohibiting participation in boycotts led by foreign governments against israel to include boycotts led by international governmental organizations such as the united nations and the european union .\nviolators of the israel anti - boycott act would face a minimum civil penalty of $ 250 , 000 and / or criminal penalties of up to a maximum of $ 1 million and 20 years imprisonment . these are the current penalty levels for violations of the antiboycott laws under the international emergency economics powers act ( \u201cieepa\u201d ) . [ 1 ]\nthe tra does not\nprohibit\nconduct , but denies tax benefits (\npenalizes\n) for certain types of boycott - related agreements .\nboycott agreements may involve the denial of foreign tax benefits , as well as a denial of export privileges , and possible exclusion from trade practices .\nproviding information to the u . n . about whether it does business with israel to support any u . n . - fostered boycott of israel\nbut even apart from limiting the right to boycott by refusing to purchase goods for political reasons , the bill infringes on pure speech . it prohibits even requests for information about whether a person is doing business in israel in order to support a boycott of israel , regardless of whether the requester is actually engaged in a boycott . this additional prohibition will chill people from seeking information about companies boycotting israel or engaged in business dealings in israel .\nit looks like the boycotts have transferred the orbit of the nation . so even today , people regard consumer activism as an instrument to drive firms back onto moral tracks . but through researches , we surprisingly get to realize the weakening of the power of this type of consumer activism . the question is what happened to boycotts and what the problems hampering boycotters are . ? . consumer boycott basics a . what is a consumer boycott ? and for what purposes do we boycott ? to make it simpler , a consumer boycott , in plain words , is to show dissatisfaction by refusing to purchase something .\nthe act amends anti - boycott provisions of the federal export administration act ( eaa ) , enacted in 1979 . [ 1 ] those provisions prohibit specific actions taken to comply with or support a boycott of israel \u201cfostered or imposed\u201d by a foreign country . the sponsors of the new act propose to add new restrictions on boycotts \u201cfostered or imposed\u201d by an international governmental organization ( igo ) , such as the european union or the united nations . violations are punishable by exorbitant fines and up to 20 years in prison .\nrequesting information about whether any person is doing business in israel if doing so is intended to help a u . n . - fostered boycott of israel .\nthose actions include boycotting an ally nation and communicating to a foreign nation or governmental group steps taken to support or comply with boycott demands . this is where first amendment concerns arise because communicating boycott support or compliance is necessarily an act of speech . but this is also where opponents of the bill overstate their case .\npotential buyers problem if you love your pet dogs so much , and you know a cosmetics firm is conducting experiments with dogs , will you buy those cosmetics ? the answer is definitely \u201cno\u201d . then will you join in a boycott against the firm ? yes , why not ? then here comes the problem . the people who are most likely to participate in this boycott are not potential buyers at all ! you will not buy it anyway no matter there is a boycott or not . as for those big buyers , they are the people who really need the cosmetics , thus the chance for them to join the boycott is slim !\n[ 4 ] although one provision of the eaa was upheld on commercial speech grounds , the law was never challenged for its restrictions on political speech . briggs & stratton corp . v . baldridge , 728 f . 2d 915 ( 7th cir . 1984 ) . as described in this document , the israel anti - boycott act would significantly increase the law\u2019s infringement on political speech .\noutline ?

whatever labels one might want to apply to the sponsors of this bill , \u201canti - authoritarianism\u201d should not be among them .\nit is not just left - wing students who are now involved in consumer activism now . everybody is boycotting something , or threatening to do so . greenpeace ' s action sought to plug into the global wave of anti - war protests that brought a record 1 . 5 million people onto the streets .\nbuycott\u2019s premise is that pickets and calls to boycott israeli products are used to isolate and demonize israel rather than to apply economic pressure . buycott takes a \u2018judo\u2019 approach , deflecting the energy of our opponents to generate support for israel .\nmore recently , there is a question as to whether the multi - state saudi - led blockade of qatar that began on june 5 , 2017 [ 2 ] implicates antiboycott laws . the antiboycott compliance office has stated that the u . s . administration reportedly views the saudi - led coalition\u2019s conduct as a severing of diplomatic ties that does not rise to the level of a boycott , even while the saudi - led group refers to it as a \u201cboycott . \u201d\nmost do not change much , however , apart from making participants feel better about themselves . a drop in coke sales is unlikely to lead radical change in bush\u2019s middle east policy . what really changes things is when negative publicity arises from a boycott .\ncurrently , 46 u . s . senators ( 32 republicans and 14 democrats ) and 249 u . s . representatives ( 185 republicans and 64 democrats ) co - sponsor the israel anti - boycott act bills . the bills , however , have recently drawn criticism from the american civil liberties union ( \u201caclu\u201d ) , which sent a letter to all u . s . senators encouraging them to oppose and refrain from co - sponsoring the legislation due to first amendment concerns . senator cardin and several other co - sponsors have stated that they are open to amending the bill to address the aclu\u2019s concerns .\nthe tra requires taxpayers to report\noperations\nin , with , or related to a boycotting country or its nationals and requests received to participate in or cooperate with an international boycott . the treasury department publishes a quarterly list of\nboycotting countries .\nseveral condemnations followed . glenn greenwald , for example , said wednesday at the intercept that congress was set to \u201ccriminally outlaw support for boycott campaign against israel . \u201d greenwald went on to excoriate several members of congress for failing to immediately oppose the bill immediately .\nin response , the bill would include any un - led boycott within the 1977 law . never mind that there are no un - led boycotts ; for members of congress seeking to appear \u201cpro - israel , \u201d striking back at a fictional one is sufficient .\nmost do not change much , however , apart from making participants feel better about themselves . a drop in coke sales is unlikely to lead radical change in bush ' s middle east policy . what really changes things is when negative publicity arises from a boycott .\nsince then , these laws and the many detailed regulations pursuant to them , have been the basis for a large number of investigations and prosecutions of companies for boycott activity . the laws are administered by a special unit of the commerce department , the office of antiboycott compliance .\nafter the boycotts were under way both companies severed their connections with the offending military activities ; however , in both instances the weapons activities continued under other corporate auspices , and , interestingly , the new owners were companies immune to boycott threats because they neither manufactured nor sold consumer good . ( friedman 18 ) just like cold viruses , no matter how strong your antibiotics are , there would always be some leftovers and those who survive must be immune to the antibiotics you used . when your boycott influences some firms , those who are not impacted are getting stronger .\ncurrent law prohibits u . s . entities from participating in or cooperating with international boycotts organized by foreign countries . these measures , first adopted in 1977 , were explicitly aimed at the arab states\u2019 boycott of israel , but its language is far broader , not mentioning any particular countries .\nlet ' s not bring up the issue of anti semitism . palestinians are as semite as they come and they have rights too . no one in bds or the un is attacking israel or its alleged jewishness . the bds is targeting activities that are illegal under u . s . and international law , as demonstrated in confiscating occupied land to build illegal settlement and industries . that ' s it .\nbut there indeed exists a crucial turning point . john and klein built this equation to illustrate that fact . their model is based on a conception about marginal benefits and cost . just like doing other things , boycotts have costs , it would cost your time , money , leisure once generated by the goods you\u2019re now boycotting , which could be gained , or spent somewhere else if not the boycott . the first people starts the boycott should be the one who is most injured by the product and thus whose marginal benefits overweighs marginal costs . then people start to join him or her .\nfurnishing information , in response to a boycott request , about the race , religion , sex , or national origin of a u . s . person or any owner , officer , director , or employee of a domestic concern or any of its \u201ccontrolled in fact\u201d non -

semitism while supporting dangerous palestinian leaders and methods , that i hope the aclu will recognize the danger this kind of free speech can pose to certain minority groups currently at risk .\nin other words , it doesn\u2019t penalize requesting general information about a boycott . it penalizes asking the un for information about the specific business activities of others . that provision is still problematic , but it is not at all what the aclu or greenwald \u2014 who didn\u2019t respond to a request for comment \u2014 says it is .\ngreenpeace\u2019s 1995 campaign against shell over its plans to dispose of the brent spar oil platform in the atlantic , triggered a slide in sales of up to 70 per cent in some countries . it led to a complete ban on the dumping of all oil rigs in the north -

semitism . the only thing noteworthy about them is their attempt to cloak their true intentions in the language of \u201ccivil rights , \u201d \u201cliberation , \u201d and \u201cintersectionality . \u201d\nu . s . companies continue to report receiving requests to engage in activities that further or support the boycott of israel . u . s . companies may receive similar requests in the future . if you have questions , please call ( 202 ) 482 - 2381 and ask for the duty officer or you may contact us by email .\nto repeat , this is the law today . it is against the law to join in a boycott of israel led by a foreign country . companies may be fined up to $ 50 , 000 or five times the amount of the contested transaction ( whichever is greater ) , and executives can be sent to prison for five years .\non its face , the bill appears to directly prohibit boycott activity that is protected under the first amendment . even if the bill could be interpreted more narrowly , as some of its supporters claim , its broad language could still chill protected expression by scaring people into self - censorship . either way , the bill would impose serious first amendment harms .\nthe recent uptick in troubling statements and tweets regarding jews and israel is obviously disturbing , but it should not come as a surprise . seen in the context of \u201cintersectionality\u201d and the rise of the alt - left , an upward trend in the use of this kind of language is to be expected . however , it is appalling to see one of the longest - standing and most venerated civil rights organizations in our country\u2019s history disseminating misinformation , fomenting anti - semitism and lauding hatemongers .\nwithin days , his piece had ignited a torrent of outrage among many of the store ' s liberal customers , inspiring a boycott of the company . by the end of last week , two major unions - - a group that mackey has had issues with in the past - - joined the fray , demanding that their members withhold business from the company .\nu . s . antiboycott laws and regulations prohibit u . s . persons from participating in other nations\u2019 economic boycotts that are not sanctioned by the united states ( the \u201cantiboycott laws\u201d ) . while u . s . companies are principally concerned with the arab league boycott of israel , the antiboycott laws apply to all foreign boycotts in which the united states does not participate .\neven the bravest of organizations often steadfastly avoid any controversies relating to israel . yet here , while appropriately pointing out that the aclu \u201ctakes no position for or against the effort to boycott israel or any foreign country , \u201d the group categorically denounces this aipac - sponsored proposal for what it is : a bill that \u201cseeks only to punish the exercise of constitutional rights . \u201d\namong the co - sponsors of the bill are several of the politicians who have become political celebrities by positioning themselves as media leaders of the anti - trump # resistance , including three california house members who have become heroes to democrats and staples of the cable news circuit : ted lieu , adam schiff , and eric swalwell . these politicians , who have built a wide public following by posturing as opponents of authoritarianism , are sponsoring one of the most oppressive and authoritarian bills that has pended before congress in quite some time .\nlarry chavis , a business professor at the university of north carolina , said it is possible for consumer boycotts to be effective in certain circumstances . chavis studied the effect of a u . s . boycott of french wine in response to the country\u2019s opposition to the 2003 iraq war and found sales dropped 26 per cent in the u . s . at the peak of the action .\nthe next paragraph requires the president to make a biannual report on boycott efforts , and the united states\u2019 response to them . this is a pure reporting requirement . just because the president might disagree with congress about the merit of the activities being reported \u2014 he likes boycotts , congress does not \u2014 this in no way affects congress\u2019s ability to require reporting . the reporting itself is entirely neutral .\nboycotts have to compete with one another for attention . driving becomes difficult if both esso and shell are to be avoided . the popular campus campaigns against nike led people to adidas , but the german company is itself being boycotted by campaigners for using kangaroo skins . and it\u2019s hard to boycott both unilever and procter & gamble , which are both on ethical consumer\u2019s list , without sacrificing at least some conventional standards of hygiene .\nboycotts have to compete with one another for attention . driving becomes difficult if both esso and shell are to be avoided . the popular campus campaigns against nike led people to adidas , but the german company is itself being boycotted by campaigners for usingh kangaroo skins . and it ' s hard to boycott both unilever and procter & gamble , which are both on ethical consumer ' s list , without sacrificing at least some conventional standards of hygiene .\nthe act\u2019s chief senate sponsor , senator benjamin l . cardin , has written that the act does not target political boycotts . [ 3 ] instead , he claims , it merely expands preexisting law to prohibit u . s . businesses from complying with boycott requirements imposed by igos . in other words , he argues that the bill does not prohibit political speech but targets \u201ccommercial conduct , \u201d which is afforded a lower level of constitutional protection . [ 4 ]\nin other words , everyone is wrong : the aclu , greenwald , aipac and the bill\u2019s sponsors . the actual bill is a nothingburger that fights an imaginary boycott \u2013 which is exactly why its cosponsors said things to greenwald like \u201cwe have a different read of the specific bill language\u201d and \u201cthis is the first time i have seen this issue raised . \u201d they thought this was yet another meaningless pander to the israel - first crowd \u2013 and they were right .\neven if the government has in the past chosen to pursue penalties against corporations , not individuals , the bill\u2019s language plainly applies to individuals . and even if the government promises not to prosecute individual consumers under the bill , such a promise can be changed at any time , at the whim of any presidential administration . because the bill applies to individuals , flesh and blood people have reason to be concerned that their own protected boycott activity and speech could violate the law .\nthe export administration act ( eaa ) prohibits or penalizes u . s . individuals and entities from cooperating with international economic boycotts in which the u . s . does not participate . the purpose of such prohibition is to prevent u . s . organizations and entities from supporting or participating in foreign policies of other nations that run in a manner contrary to u . s . policy . boycott - related activities prohibited by the u . s . department of commerce include :\nthe bill\u2019s operative provisions expand the 1979 law by prohibiting u . s . persons from boycotting israel and israeli businesses \u2014 including businesses operating in the occupied palestinian territories \u2014 in adherence to boycotts called for by international governmental organizations , such as the united nations and the european union . the bill would also prohibit u . s . persons from not only furnishing , but even requesting information about any person\u2019s business relations with israel , if done to support a foreign country\u2019s or international governmental organization\u2019s call for boycott .\nthat ' s a lot more nuanced than what pundits have been howling about these last few days , and it suggests that perhaps the aclu is rethinking its position . but , to be fair , before the left got this bill wrong , the right got it more wrong . aipac , for example , heralded the law as a major legislative priority , saying it would \u201cprohibit u . s . persons from cooperating with efforts by international organizations \u2013 including the u . n . \u2013 to boycott israel . \u201d\nof course it is not that simple . there are motivations and causes behind every boycott , like political objectives , ethnic discriminations etc . but to define the term actually does not involve too much concern about the purposes . almost all the related books applied some version of the following definition , namely \u201can attempt by one or more parties to achieve certain objectives by urging individual consumers to refrain from making selected purchases in the marketplace . \u201d ( friedman qtd . in friedman 97 ) and one characteristic worth mentioning about this definition is that it did not clarify the objectives .\nand as it is planed , they stop building . it seems that everything works perfectly . but the marginal analyses throw up this question : maybe , 25 students would be enough . maybe those extra 5 students should have joined the boycott , they would be better off without sacrificing their time and purchasing desires . those who participating are convinced that they all contribute to the collective goal , those potential boycotters who did not engage in all think they are beyond the turning point . the problem is , no one knows how many people would be just enough . 3 .\nbuycott is the world leader in grassroots on - line israel advocacy and , along with the size doesn\u2019t matter campaign , has established cija as an internationally recognized leader in the area of new media israel advocacy .\nthe buycott program has been adopted by leading pro - israel organizations worldwide , including jewish federations , ajc , zoa , and jcpa , and it has been featured as a \u2018best practice\u2019 at global conferences on combating the de - legitimization of israel .\nthe bds movement is a coordinated international campaign by individuals and organizations to prevent people from buying israeli products or doing business with israel . the movement also encourages companies and organizations to stop investing in israeli firms and countries to curtail cultural exchanges , trade and cooperation with israel .\neverything produced in israel , including life saving products and procedures - just because they\u2019re israeli . canadians rely on hundreds of israeli products every day , such as voice mail , cell phone technology and cardiac stents . if bds wins we all lose , including residents of the palestinian territories who also depend heavily on essential israeli goods .\nnone . yet there are scores of nations throughout the world that , unlike democratic israel , are ruled by dictators who have denied their citizens the most basic human rights and abandoned the rule of law . bds proponents ignore these countries in order to question israel\u2019s legitimacy instead .\nbds supporters may say they just want to change israeli policy , but their actions say something else . bds activists have called on universities around the world to ban israeli professors from lecturing on their campuses , even though many of those they want to ban are critics of the israeli government . the bds movement has campaigned against artists performing for israeli audiences , even if those artists have also booked performances for palestinians as well . bds thinking considers all of israel as occupied territory and bds advocacy for the return to israel of several million palestinian refugees plus their children would dismantle israel as we now know it . the result ? two palestinian states and the destruction of the world\u2019s only jewish nation\nnot at all . bds blocks exchanges between israelis and palestinians in every sphere of life , preventing dialogue and contact which sets a foundation for peace . but peace isn\u2019t part of the bds equation . the real intention of the campaign is to demonize israel , isolate her and challenge her right to exist as a jewish state .\nwe need your support ! king solomon organic premium medjoul ( medjool ) dates at noah\u2019s natural foods located at bloor street in toronto is currently being . . .\nseventy years ago , after 2000 years of exile , israel was re -

billion toy industry . it is dwarfed by larger and long - established giants such as hasbro and mattel , which each have sales that exceed $ 1 billion .\nto date , the company has marketed from a single product line , the world of teddy ruxpin . the product life cycle of a toy line is relatively short . successful new products and new product lines may therefore be crucial to the success of the company ' s business . . . . the company has only limited experience in product introductions , and product line expansion will place great demands on management and other company resources . if the teddy ruxpin product line loses market acceptance , or if new product introductions are unsuccessful , the company ' s business would be affected adversely .\nhaving a lot of toys is not what worlds of wonder is about . what children gain from our toys is social value . lazer tag teaches them to play with each other , and teddy ruxpin teaches bravery and friendship .\nby merging modern technology and old - fashioned toys and games , worlds of wonder is cutting a path in the world of\ntechno toys\nand has produced two of the best - selling - - and most talked about - - toys of the holiday season .\nbefore he started worlds of wonder , founder donald kingsborough had worked at atari , as did many of his employees . and he wasn ' t alone : his primary competitor in the talking toy space was nolan bushnell , kingsborough ' s old boss at atari and a man who had experience with anthropomorphic characters as the founder of chuck e . cheese .\nthe company ' s cash flow from operations , existing bank lines of credit and the proceeds of this offering may not be sufficient to provide the working capital required beyond the end of fiscal 1987 . thereafter , the company may have to obtain additional working capital from expanded bank borrowings or through additional debt or equity financings . if the company is unable to obtain adequate working capital from these sources on acceptable terms , its operations would be adversely affected . a significant portion of the company ' s working capital is composed of accounts receivable . the company believes the toy industry is characterized by accounts receivable on extended terms , especially in the summer months , and as a result a material portion of the company ' s accounts receivable are aged longer than 90 days . the company ' s liquidity may be adversely affected by excessive aging of its accounts receivable .\nworlds of wonder went public and became an overnight darling of wall street as its price shot up . unfortunately , in a brief three and a half years the company filed for protection from its creditors in 1987 . large r & d , advertising , production , distribution , logistical , and repair costs hampered the company ' s ability to grow as quickly as it wanted to and it soon owed payment to many creditors . over the next two years , the company reorganized . worlds of wonder went on creating new products until 1991 , when it closed its doors for good . its products were licensed to hasbro , which continued to sell teddy ruxpin until 1997 . to date , over 40 million teddy ruxpins have been sold - - enough to populate a small nation .\n- company , best known for its teddy ruxpin talking teddy bear and lazer tag gun game .\nthat cost , which would be a hard - to - swallow $ 156 . 55 today , was an immensely expensive price for a state -

(\nwow\n) , a high - technology toy company . plaintiffs , a class of purchasers of wow stock and debentures , brought an action under the federal securities laws against various individuals and firms involved in wow ' s securities offerings . on january 20 , 1993 , this court entered an order granting summary judgment in favor of every defendant ( the\norder\n) . see page 850 . plaintiffs now move the court to reconsider its order . 1\n7 . a company ' s liquidity , or immediate access to cash , is evidenced by factors other than total sales , such as the company ' s ability to collect accounts receivable and the amounts of cash available on existing bank credit lines . it is common for a company to disclose these factors in a prospectus .\njordan said the new investors intend to keep the company ' s 120 employees and its fremont headquarters .\nmr . kingsborough , a graduate of the university of california at berkeley , was a salesman for several years before forming dk marketing in 1976 , which did some work for atari . in 1983 mr . kingsborough sold dk marketing to atari and joined the company as head of sales and distribution . he left in 1984 and founded his toy company the next year .\nmr . jacobs recently led a group that acquired the baltimore orioles baseball team . the propective new management group for worlds of wonder also includes franklyn s . barry jr . , the former president of fisher -

released teddy ruxpin talking doll , a hot item despite its steep $ 70 retail price . the toy is made by a fremont , calif . , company through a licensing agreement .\nworlds of wonder can survive an industry shakeout , he argued , because its toys have lasting appeal . talking toys aren ' t a fad , he argued , but a category that will last for years .\nthere will always be a teddy ruxpin ,\nhe says .\nseasonality of quarterly results . . . . the company anticipates that net sales for the quarter ending june 30 , 1987 will be less than those for each of the prior three quarters , and the company expects to report a loss for the quarter . . . .\nwonder . the 1980\u2019s was full of it . the \u201880s were an era of wonder . they were for me ; i was just coming of age in the mid - \u201880s and found wonder wherever i looked . they were for others as well . many people likewise found wonder wherever they looked , so many that a coworker of mine once commented on it . sometime in 1999 , he contrasted the \u201880s with the \u201890s in this way : \u201cin the \u201880s , we thought everything was high tech even though it wasn\u2019t . in the \u201890s , everything was high tech and we didn\u2019t notice . \u201d\nnet sales . . . . because sales of toys are highly seasonal , the company would generally expect net sales to be lower in the first half of the calendar year . the company ' s net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 1987 were lower than net sales in each of the preceding two quarters . similarly , the company expects net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1988 to be lower than sales for each of the prior three quarters . at the same time , the company is continuing to expand its operations in anticipation of the christmas selling season . as a result , the company expects to report a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 1988 proportionally greater than the net loss reported for the first quarter of fiscal 1987 .\nit is\nan extreme example of a company that has gone too far , too fast ,\nsays john e . klauer . he is chief financial officer of axlon , a 2 -

(\nwow\n) , a toy company that sold $ 80 million of\njunk bonds\nto the investing public in june 1987 . when wow defaulted on its very first interest payment and filed for bankruptcy just six months later , rendering the securities worthless , a class of disappointed investors filed this securities - fraud action , naming as defendants wow ' s officers , directors , auditors , underwriters , and major shareholders . the district court granted summary judgment in favor of all defendants and the investors appealed . after considering a myriad of issues , we affirm in part and reverse in part .\nworlds of wonder said it expects to file a reorganization plan with the u . s . bankruptcy court in late april or may . if the court approves the plan , jacobs and a management team lead by frank barry , former president of fisher - price toys , and david edelman , former president of ingram software , will take over almost immediately .\nthe plaintiffs next argue that the following debenture prospectus description of wow ' s internal controls was materially misleading : information systems and control procedures . the company ' s business has grown dramatically in the last year , and the company ' s development of its management information system and other systems and control procedures has at times lagged behind this growth . while the company continues to upgrade its systems , procedures and controls to meet the demand of its expansion , there can be no assurance that the company can successfully implement these enhancements or that these enhancements will keep pace with the growth .\non the toy front , the non - iron man highlights were hot toys\u2019 1 / 6th - scale figurines of captain america and an evil version of the previous christopher reeve superman .\nwhen a company fails , it does not automatically mean that a violation of the securities laws has occurred . there are a number of risks involved whenever one invests in any company . . . . the securities laws do not insulate investors against stock downturns which are caused by events not foreseeable to the company ' s management , nor do they provide insurance against risks that were disclosed to investors at the time they purchased the securities .\nand the fact that worlds of wonder thought it could charge that much reflects two things : the product probably cost a lot to build on a per - unit basis ( rks design , which helped formulate the talking bear , puts the cost at\nunder $ 20 ,\nbut the fact that a design firm had its fingerprints on the product in the first place highlights that this was no ordinary toy ) , and it was also marketed a lot .\nwow ' s fortunes took a drastic turn for the worst shortly after the debenture offering . financial results for the quarter ended june 30 , 1987 were below the company ' s internal projections , even though the company had already predicted a substantial loss for the quarter . wow ' s management hoped that the decline in sales was due to the normal seasonality of the toy business , where most sales occur during the christmas season .\ndisney infinity \u2019s toy box mode is different from playsets , which are franchise -

flying status on wall street and its recent dive continue to make it a company to watch in silicon valley .\nfollowing the ipo , wow continued to grow rapidly . wow ' s second major toy was lazer tag , a game involving toy weapons that used infrared technology . lazer tag , like teddy ruxpin , was wildly successful when it first hit the market . it was the best selling toy for the 1986 christmas season . also , teddy ruxpin maintained its popularity for the most part during 1986 . in lazer tag and teddy ruxpin , wow had two of the ten best selling toys for the 1986 christmas season . at the beginning of 1987 , wow was the toast of the toy industry , having recorded net sales of over $ 327 million for the previous fiscal year .\nworlds of wonder ' s creditors include a five -

and - coming commercial center on the edge of atlanta .\njim cox jr . purchased three cable systems in central pennsylvania \u2014 which combined had 11 , 800 subscribers . cox was one of the earliest broadcasters to embrace community antenna tv ( later called cable television ) , which provided rural communities with better reception and a wider selection of channels . cox cable experienced explosive growth in the 1970s , and in the 1980s cable became more popular as home box office ( hbo ) started offering films and made - for - cable entertainment , and sporting events moved to cable programming .\nin his late 30s , while working in publishing , cox was persuaded to run for congress . he won the 1908 election and represented ohio from 1909 to 1913 . he was then elected governor of ohio , serving from 1913 to 1915 and again from 1917 to 1921 . in 1920 , cox was the democratic presidential nominee and chose franklin d . roosevelt as his running mate . though they lost the 1920 election , both made their marks as roosevelt later became president and governor cox focused his energy on growing his newspapers .\nin 1898 , at the age of 28 , cox borrowed $ 26 , 000 from friends and family and purchased the dayton evening news ( now the dayton daily news ) . he added a women\u2019s society editor and increased the associated press service to include national , international and sports news . it was cox\u2019s belief that this was \u201cthe people\u2019s paper . \u201d\nwhio , the first cox radio station and first station in ohio\u2019s miami valley , went on air in dayton on february 9 , 1935 . the governor\u2019s son , jim cox jr . , was fascinated with radio , a new technology of the time , and is credited with leading his father into the medium . governor cox gave an eloquent on -

equity investors to fund the launch of autotrader . com , an online alternative to print auto classified ads , with chip perry , now truecar ' s boss , as the startup ' s first employee . both businesses chugged along , growing successfully - - autotrader topped $ 1 billion in revenue in 2011 while manheim now is the largest auto - auction company in the u . s . - - but hardly setting the industry on its ear .\ndo it all in the spirit of cox a culture of giving back . a brave , entrepreneurial spirit . a determination that our company should be a force for good in the world .\non august 28 , 2005 , hurricane katrina was barreling toward the gulf of mexico . the cox leadership team knew employees would be affected but had no idea to what degree . on september 1 , just 72 hours after the storm made landfall , cox came together to create the cox employee disaster relief fund . we secured our 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) status and rallied employees to help their own . within months the fund raised more than $ 2 . 7 million in donations from 4 , 700 employees , a company match , and support from vendors and industry collegues .\nmoreover , the company insists that dealerships should be able to pick and choose which cox products to use and easily integrate those with any other company ' s offerings . says schwartz :\nwe ' re never going to say ,\nyou gotta buy ' em all . '\nand if one brand can better serve its customers by working with a cox rival , so be it .\nwhile there are advantages to offering a full suite of products to dealers , cox automotive runs the risk of becoming too much like reynolds and cdk in dealers ' eyes . those two vendors ' sheer size and importance to dealership operations have led some dealers to view them as arrogant and insensitive to an individual dealership ' s needs . those criticisms may be invalid - - dealers understandably are leery of becoming too reliant on any one vendor - - but are hard to shake .\nurltoken is the only official website for employment opportunities with cox enterprises and its affiliates . applications for employment on any other website will not be considered . cox does not hold online interviews on social media sites such as google hangouts . if you have been requested to apply for an employment opportunity other than through urltoken , or , if you have sought out career opportunities with cox and found a different website in your search , you should not submit your application , nor should you provide any personal identifying information such as a social security number , birth certificate , financial institution information , driver\u2019s license number or passport information .\nurltoken launched in 1997 as a majority - owned subsidiary of cox enterprises . the effort was at the forefront of e - commerce , as the company offered services that helped consumers research , buy and sell cars online . those looking to sell a car to a dealer could ask for offers from their local area , and dealers were able to use the wide net of data to further their businesses . in only three years , it became the number one online automotive classified website .\nour comprehensive view of the industry \u2014 coupled with extensive research \u2014 offers unmatched data and insights into consumer behavior , automotive trends and operational best practices . we use this knowledge to design solutions that help you effectively run your business and we share these insights in our learning center .\ncox purchased the atlanta journal in 1939 , writing : \u201ci wouldn ' t know of another property in america i would want outside of this one . georgia is a great empire with an inescapable progress of agricultural development . that appeals strongly to me . \u201d he later called purchasing the journal \u201cthe rounding out of a dream .\npictured , the front page of the journal from december 18 , 1939 , with a telegraph from franklin d . roosevelt welcoming cox to atlanta .\nwith cloudera , the team reduced the total cost of ownership of its data environment by about 50 percent per terabyte ( tb ) . but the real value they see is from new products and capabilities . the new edhs are helping the company provide auto dealers with new insight to help them better manage their inventory , with a broad view to industry supply and consumer demand . additionally , using a spark streaming application , cox automotive is now able to offer real - time updates on how ad campaigns impact searches and other activity on specific vehicles , providing important insights to advertisers .\ni have been working for dealertrack for over 10 years and i still love my job . it is challenging , rewarding , keeps me thinking and on my a game . if you are looking for a great company to work for don ' t look any further . this place is fun , innovative , growing . although cox automotive has over 50 , 000 employees world wide it still feels like a small family run business , they treat you like family , they work hard to make sure you are included , and i can truly say they care . and with world wide opportunities , you cannot go wrong .\nwhen governor cox purchased the atlanta journal in 1939 , he also gained \u201cthe south ' s first radio station , \u201d wsb , which had gone on air in 1922 . call letters for radio stations were often translated into bits of verbiage , and when listeners were asked to send in suggestions , the winner was \u201cwelcome south brother . \u201d by the time cox took over , wsb was a 50 , 000 -

sister christoforo colombo . after the loss of the andrea doria , the italia line immediately ordered a replacement , which was delivered in 1960 . the leonardo da vinci was essentially an enlargement of the same design , and closely resembled the andrea doria , although with many detail improvements . all three ships suffered from a flawed hull design which rendered them somewhat unstable in rolling , something that probably contributed to the capsizing of the doria .\nthe year commenced with swan , mid - way through her anzuk deployment , making official calls at kure and takamtsu , japan . in late january she returned to singapore for her next role as escort to the royal yacht britannia during a royal visit to thailand in february , a task she shared with ships of the royal and royal new zealand navy .\non 3 october , swan sailed for another southeast asian deployment . together with other ran units she exercised with ships from the us navy , malaysia , singapore and thailand . port visits included surabaya , singapore , lumut , manila , subic bay , bangkok and penang . swan enjoyed a tropical christmas and new year while berthed at sembawang dockyard , singapore .\nnavigating the wreck can be a mental challenge too . the doria lies on her side , so the floors and ceilings are the walls and the walls are the floor and ceiling . confused ? try it under the influence of nitrogen . it is difficult to formulate a big picture in your head ; the visibility limits you to seeing the wreck in 20 - foot sections .\nhmas perth ' s ship ' s company ceremoniously leaving the ship for the last time .\nin early october , swan , with other ran units deployed to singapore and the indian ocean for sindex 77 . she returned to sydney on 19 december 1977 for leave and maintenance .\nsuccessful sinking projects such as key west\u2019s \u00ad vandenberg , mohawk off fort myers , florida , and annapolis in \u00adbritish columbia are testament to \u00adweatherby\u2019s prowess at saving historic vessels by preparing them with diver access in mind , and his success at preserving historical elements such as propellers , guns and radar dishes .\ninstead of the ship being an easy diving site for beginning divers , it has become a deadly tourist site . because of the position in which the ship is lying , a diver has to go down 70\u201380 feet before seeing the wreck . at 100 feet , a diver only has 17 minutes of air . and instead of having a clear pass way through the holes cut in the hull , a diver who enters the yukon can easily become disoriented and not be able to find a way out .\nthe commonwealth government announced that following her decommissioning swan would be gifted to western australia . on monday 11 november 1996 , the western australian minister for tourism announced that the geographe bay artificial reef society had been successful in its bid to use swan as a dive wreck and artificial reef .\nas an aqualung partner centre we are certified to service and maintain the full range of aqualung diving gear and are able to arrange hydrostatic tank testing . if you have your own tanks that need filling we can certainly do this for you . please note that your tanks will need to be within their hydrostatic test date .\nbefore sinking , the ship was carefully ( and quite thoroughly ) stripped of hazards that might endanger divers , including removing doors , wiring , piping , and other entanglement hazards . potential toxins were removed and the entire boat was throughly cleaned to prevent any pollution from damaging the nearby reefs and sea life . large holes were cut into the sides , allowing light to enter and providing safer access for divers .\nthe australian white ensign is raised for the first time in hmas swan during her commissioning ceremony .\nthe federal court cleared the way for the former canadian navy destroyer to be sunk in march .\nclosed captioning and described video is available for many cbc - tv shows offered on cbc watch .\nthis is a pioneering public interest project that brings the potential of the portuguese sea - testimony to the history of the country - to the forefront and will attract diving enthusiasts to experience an unforgettable experience , adapted to suit all levels of difficulty .\nit took another eighteen months for the ship to be outfitted for transatlantic service . the owners of the ship , the societa de navigazione italia ( italia line ) , decided against competing with the british and the americans in building the largest and fastest of ships . instead the italia line wanted to entice their passengers with luxury and art and built what was to later be described as a\nfloating art palace .\nthey also wanted their ship to incorporate the latest techniques in shipbuilding , and spared no expense .\non 1 november 1971 , following the expiration of the anglo - malaysian defence agreement , the strategic reserve was replaced by anzuk , under the five power defence arrangement plans for the defence of singapore and malaysia . a highlight to the changeover was a farewell review of units of the far east fleet . hma ships derwent and swan participated in this event , which marked significant changes in britain ' s defence role in south east asia , and ended the role of the previous naval command which had existed for 150 years .\nhere are the deck plans john is using in the video above . not that they will do you much good today - the wreck has collapsed significantly . much of what he is describing is now flattened and inaccessible . what is left of the wreck is also much deeper than it was then . today , the andrea doria is a good place to get killed , and too many people still insist on doing just that . enlarge\nthe last time i saw the yukon was thursday , july 13 , 2000 , around 8 : 00 p . m . my flight to kansas city was the next day at 8 : 00 a . m , and the big festivities for the sinking of the yukon were set for noon . the 366 - foot - long ship would be sunk during a ceremony punctuated by fireworks . i wished i could see it . little did i realize that , in fact , i was one of the last people to see the yukon \u2026afloat , that is .\nthe balboa was carrying a cargo of wood and oil when she went down . the caymanian ' s claim that after the ship sunk you could have walked from the wreck to shore on her cargo of wood without even getting your feet wet . it is also said that the wood that washed onto shore was used to build a church steeple . the story of this wreck is told by dive masters as being a gift from god .\ntook advantage of the opportunity for a vigorous anti - submarine exercise with a visiting us navy nuclear submarine .\nat 58 , superior captain piero calamai had spent 39 years of his life at sea . a merchant marine cadet , he was awarded the italian war cross for military valor during world war i when he was only 18 years old . as a reserve lieutenant commander during world war ii , he was awarded again the war cross for valor . over his career he served as an officer aboard 27 ships in the italian merchant marine before being rewarded with the command of the pride of the italia line - the newly launched andrea doria .\nto divers like me the only real tragedy of that night of july 25 , 1956 was the loss of those lives aboard the two ships . but the andrea doria still lives . it is just that her life goes on many fathoms under the sea where only an intrepid few get the chance to relive her charms .\nthere was plenty of competition for transatlantic tourism : england , france , the nordic countries , and the united states all had stately ships to entice travelers . not to be outdone , the world famous ansaldo shipyards in the genoese suburb of sestri laid the keel for what was to be the most elegant ship of her time , to be named after the naval hero , statesman , and innovator andrea doria . on may 22 , 1950 , to the cheers of the proud genoese , the newly christened andrea doria slipped into the shimmering waters of the ligurian sea .\nthis seems to be what happened on december 1 to staci johnson , a 26 - year - old marine from camp pendleton . johnson was an experienced diver , as she was taking an advanced diving class with an instructor and a couple of other students when she died .\nthe corsair fighter aircraft is the state\u2019s only authentic wreck , landed in 1945 on the sand off oahu when a pilot ran out of fuel . \u201cit\u2019s in such amazing condition , \u201d says lewis heuermann , padi staff instructor for dive oahu . the cockpit\u2019s gauges , stick , seat and rudder pedals all remain . the plane sits in a field of garden eels at 115 feet . frogfish bunk near the plane\u2019s tail , and a yellow margin moray eel has claimed the cockpit . the best part : the wreck sits out in the sand desert \u2014 the cruising ground of 15 - foot galapagos sharks .\nthe doria is not the dive that it used to be . the hull is collapsing badly , and the top of the wreck is now below 190 ft . many of the places that divers used to visit have deteriorated beyond recognition . gimbel ' s hole , once the famous entry to the inside of the wreck , is now no more than a closed - off depression . every year , as the hull sinks further into itself , the dive becomes deeper , more dangerous , and more pointless . once the\nmount everest of shipwreck diving\n, the heyday of the andrea doria is over . i have never been there , and have no desire to go , but i know a lot of people who have , including some of the most experienced .\nin her 34 year commission , hmas perth ( ii ) steamed over one million miles for the royal australian navy .\nthe greatest show beneath the sea according to weatherby , \u201csink it and they will come\u201d is true only for fish .\ni spent several weeks with buccaneer diving completing their dive masters program and loved every minute of it . i got the opportunity to dive in all of their locations including zanzibar and found each base to be very well run with friendly staff , good equipment and a great safety record .\nin mid june , swan departed hmas stirling for south - east asia arriving in singapore on 29 june . the deployment saw swan and her consort , derwent , actively involved in exercise starfish 8 / 88 . during their return passage to australia the two ships conducted a memorial service in the sunda strait over the resting place of the cruiser , hmas perth ( i ) , which was sunk on 1 march 1942 . swan returned to her homeport on 18 august 1988 .\nhearing of captain meurn ' s conclusions brought a sad smile to the face of vincenzo della torre . as with any tragic mishap or senseless act of violence , there is the term closure for the victims . but for della torre there is some satisfaction in knowing the love of his young life was not responsible for her untimely end . nevertheless , the thought that the sea is now her grave is an unbearably sad thought for the italian expatriot . he still grieves the loss .\nthe diver mentioned earlier , who didn ' t hold on to the anchor line and was swept away , reported that he landed in the sand at 165 feet and swam around for a while looking for the wreck . well , his story got a real laugh on the surface because the sand is at 250 . the hull is at 165 ! there was such a vast expanse of featureless hull in all directions that , combined with a little nitrogen , he thought he was on the bottom .\nhmas swan slides down the slipway following her launching by mrs allen fairhill , wife of the then minister for the navy .\nboth the wrecks are deep dives , with minimum dive guidelines . we require you to have 15 logged dives for the waikato and 35 logged ( with an advanced certificate ) for the tui . you must have dived in the last six months .\nwe regularly have equipment discounts and special offers so keep an eye out for these and build your perfect dive kit today .\nit is , also , an unforgettable opportunity for scientific advancement in the area of marine biology and the study of species .\nsometime just before midnight , the waves had picked up by to two to three feet . this was one to two feet more than expected \u2014 the ocean is usually flat around that time of the summer . the plywood failed . the ship took about an hour and a half to sink . and instead of sinking straight down , it listed to one side and came to rest flat on its port side .\nfish feeding and photography are ideal activities for this wreck . the balboa seems to attract a large array of aquatic life . we were lucky enough to find and photograph large green moray eel in the balboa ' s boiler room , located just off the wreck ' s starboard side . also happy to have their picture taken were some tiger groupers . this site has become a quite popular night dive too . according to noted photographer joe koppleman , the balboa is one of the best places in the world to find and photograph the orange ball anonyme ( pseudocorynactis caribbeorun ) . also called sunburst anonyme , this rare species is seldom seen by divers .\nthe anna marie is also referred to as the tug wreck . she was a 25 foot long , wood hulled tug boat that was used as a support vessel for the atlantis submarine . the little tug was sunk by a storm in 1987 and now rests upright in 50 feet of water on a sand flat just outside of devil ' s grotto in the southwest corner of georgetown harbor . this miniature tug has now been transformed into a wonderful little fish haven and makes a great background for wide angle photographs .\n\u201cthere\u2019s no good news coming from the reef , man , \u201d he says . \u201cthis isn\u2019t theory anymore . the jury is not out . the results are in . we\u2019ve been studying artificial reefs for 50 years . it\u2019s time for more of them . \u201d\nif divers enter the wreck through the large square deck hatch , a penetration can be made of about 25 feet forward . once inside , there are a group of porthole openings you can look through or some inner rooms that are still intact that can be explored .\non our second trip , captain butch brought us right to the wreck . we found her to be perfectly intact , and it looked as though she was waiting for us to explore her rusted remains . her pilot house is accessible through a door on her port side . a big spotlight and brass horns are still mounted atop the pilot house . if we swam any further ahead of the pilothouse , we would have ended up in water considered too deep for sport divers . however , we were totally in our glory just to be able to explore the stern section since there was such a large assortment of interesting items . among these items was an intact porthole and , after wiping off some light marine growth , we were able to read the wreck ' s name carrie lee on her stern .\nswan and her sister ship , torrens , were the final two river class des constructed for the ran . the first four ships , parramatta ( iii ) , yarra , stuart and derwent , were modified versions of the royal navy ' s type ' 12 ' whitby and rothesay class frigates both of which displayed very good sea keeping qualities . swan and torrens ( ii ) were a derivation of the royal navy ' s leander - class general purpose frigate , which was itself a development of the type ' 12 ' .\n\u201cwe\u2019ve got good bait balls on it , \u201d jim mayhen , instructor at down under dive shop in gulf shores says of 271 - foot lulu . since the may 2013 sinking 23 miles offshore , mayhen reports that snapper , spanish mackerel , toadfish , and 70 - to 80 - pound \u201cajs\u201d or amberjacks are seen regularly . \u201cthe only thing that hasn\u2019t moved in is a goliath grouper , but one\u2019ll be here by summer . \u201d\nbehind the bow section of the wreck , divers can swim in and around huge steel plates or just have fun feeding the fish . be careful not to be too surprised if while feeding the fish , all of a sudden a 300 pound jew fish is right under you waiting for a handout . this jew fish is more commonly referred to as sweet lips or george and has made the wreck of the oro verde his home . other inhabitants of the oro verde include a four foot spotted moray eel that lives in a pipe just forward of the pilot house , a six foot green moray named kermit who can usually be found under some of the steel plates and a four foot barracuda named puff . if you look hard enough as we did , you may also find a large rock lobster living under the wreck . due to the constant hand feedings from divers , the most common fish of all are overly plump yellow tail snappers , and some beautiful large angel fish ."]}

find a topic you\u2019re passionate about , and jump right in .\na couple of years a friend of mine , now a naked and afraid superstar , sang a song that has been in my head ever since . while the verse has disappeared into the nothingness of my mind , the chorus , which echos \u201cbuckets of holy shit\u201d has stuck around because i , like many others have found the answer to one of our modern environmental calamities : what to do with human waste .\ni am admittedly victimized by compassion fatigue - where there are too many environmental problems with too few answers , analysis paralysis - where there are too many problems with too much data to figure out just what the hell is going on , and also an acute fear of hypocrisy - where our daily lives are too intertwined with the same systems we are trying to escape from , kinda like driving a car to a tar sands or taconite mine protest . i think i am not alone in this either . too many people are aware of the state of the global ecosystem ( no conspiracy or political agenda implied ) for there not to be more change happening , which is why i like pooping in a bucket .\n. until i read the hh i was still living in the dark ages of flush toilets and catholes , septic systems and plungers . now , i have read my share of books that have had profound effects on how i live and view life itself , thanks hunter s , ed a and dan q , but the hh was the first time i read a how - to guide that not only provided down to earth and practical ideas and solutions to a common problem but also fundamentally and permanently changed the way i live on a daily basis . overnight it changed me from using fresh , clean drinking water as a mode of transportation for my waste ( not to mention the resources consumed in actually\nwith the sewage ) to composting all of my deposits in a safe , clean and ecologically responsible way .\nanother story . last year i was out in montana having a discussion about the sewage troubles of a local small town ( population 400 or so ) . the sewage system was out of date of falling apart resulting in leakage of raw sewage into the valley\u2019s river which i dearly love to fish in . i said if the town were to give me $ 1000 and the cooperation of the folks who live there , overnight i could solve that problem forever , with almost zero yearly monetary investment , zero infrastructure and with zero negative environmental impact . now , how many times these days do you get to say that to an environmental problem ! that is the beauty of composting your human ( and kitchen ) waste : it is a foolproof , inexpensive , environmentally responsible solution to an expensive , accident prone and environmentally sketchy problem ( modern waste treatment and disposal systems ) .\ni have personally composted my own human waste off and on for over 6 years and have a good friend who has done so for almost 15 , and to date neither of us have had and problems , ill effects or issues with humanure composting other than the feeling of waste when we are forced to use flush toilets . we have also composted all of the human waste produced at our field school , which has had hundreds of students ( up to 16 at a time for 9 weeks ) all using a composting toilet system with zero , zilch , zippo problems .\nbottom line is that the low tech solution , buckets and a compost pile , just flat - out works . a great example of the cleanliness and non - offensiveness of a humanure pile occurred a bunch of years back when we had a group of middle school students come to the camp for a day long nature awareness program . around lunch time the students dispersed to eat their bag lunches around the field school . well , a group of what i figured were the \u201cpopular\u201d girls decided to eat their lunch while leaning against a fenced pile a hay , except it wasn\u2019t just hay in the that there pile . the cool thing : these preppy - esqu girls didn\u2019t smell a thing coming from a pile of human shit and straw nearly the size of a vw beetle . still wanna talk about how gross a humanure pile is ?\nin this day and age where we are bombarded by environmental problems and catastrophes , it is a huge breath of fresh air finding a solution with no strings attached . no hypocrisy , no guilt , no expense . all that you are left with is a pocket of money you saved not having to pump out your holding tank and a pile of healthy , clean , and reusable compost ready for the garden . do your environmental conscience a favor , read the humanure handbook and stop pooping in our drinking water .\nwell , it came right down to the wire , but with 2 days to spare before the wagons headed west i buttoned up the northwoods micro cabin project\u2026for now . with timely help from an old friend ( who happens to be a skilled home builder ) we got the roof completed in two long days . the two roof extensions , outriggers as we called them , that allowed for a 2\u2032 overhang on the sides of the house took longer than i had planned , and while none of the work to install them was tricky , when you are driving without a road map you can\u2019t keep the pedal on the floor without risking ending up in the ditch . the only trick was raising the ripped 2x4x20 and connecting them to the short braces that were run across two roof rafters to increase the strength of the outrigger .\ni realized , as we started to sheet the roof that any and all mistakes reveal themselves in the roof . what should ( could ) have been a fairly straightforward process of sheeting the roof in 4\u00d78 1 / 2\u2033 osb became a full days work due to the fact the whole house is racked about a 1 / 2\u2033 . being a first time home builder , i feel pretty good about that , but it did make for some extra cutting of osb to get the roof done . over the osb went tar paper and then heavy gauge unpainted steel roofing . i wanted the unpainted roof so the roof will age in appearance along with the house .\nfrom day one my goal was to get this house watertight - windows , roof and walls done before the 1st of june . a project like this could have probably been knocked out in a week if the weather was cooperative and the build site was adjacent to a road , two factors that stretched this project out to 30 days . all in all this house took 14 days , about $ 4000 and a whole lot of head scratching / number crunching / sleepless nights / waiting out the rain / begging for friends\u2019 help / patience to get it to this point . this fall i will side the outside , finish the interior , complete the back storage deck and hopefully get a chance to enjoy the area without a tool belt on my waist and a pocket full of drawings and to - get lists . the purpose of this blog is to help / inspire / encourage anyone who wants to build a small house of their own . on that note , please don\u2019t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or need ideas on your own project . paul\nto be honest i have rather lost track of time , which day of the week it is or when i ate last . two days ago i received the mother load of supplies from the lumber yard including the 16 2x10x24 boards for the rafters , a stack of osb for the subroof and the metal roofing . as we watched the ease with which the crane lifted off the pile of materials , i couldn\u2019t help but think \u201chow come we don\u2019t have hovercrafts yet ? \u201d i mean , all the sci - fi writers predicted by now we\u2019d be living in a space age wonderland . while i don\u2019t bemoan the lack of autonomous robots in our daily lives who i\u2019m sure would be planning their dystopian takeover , i do , especially at time like this , wonder when we will start getting some of the predicted modern marvels . i guess we do have communication devices that we can wear on our wrists and the knowledge of the universe is only a click away , but some how i am left wanting more\u2026like a hovercraft to carry in this load of materials .\nit took a while but all the roofing made it back to the build site . the rafter boards were cut down to 22\u2032 and each got a bird\u2019s mouth notch at either end where they will sit in the headers . it was a chore getting them up in place , but i figured with a little brain power i could do it all myself instead of waiting for help to arrive later . it took 5 hours but i got all 13 up and nailed in ready for the sheeting .\ni am now down to one week left before my deadline of the 1st of june to get the house water tight . that means the last 3 windows need to get installed , the sheeting and metal roof needs completing and the two outriggers need to be built and screwed into place . oh yeah , and the front door , the blocking between the rafters\u2026\nbuilding a house is like climbing a mountain , if you focus too far in advance of where you are in the moment it is easy to get overwhelmed by the myriad of small steps you must take to reach your goal . to get a project completed or mountain summited you just have to keep your head down and keep putting one foot in front of the other or one nail in front of the other as the case may be . that is how i have to look at this build , not being a carpenter and working under a time crunch i am easily overloaded thinking about all the details of getting this house finished by the end of the month , but i found as long as i set daily goals and keep focused on the step in front of me i lose less sleep thinking about what needs to happen and i get more work done .\ntoday\u2019s the goal was to get the two triangle wall pieces on the sides done , which wouldn\u2019t have taken as long as it did if i wasn\u2019t a space case , something at this stage of my life i feel there is little to be done about . succinctly , i forgot to double up the 2\u00d74 header on the side wall , which isn\u2019t a huge deal probably but i didn\u2019t like knowing there was a weakness to this house . i have found you have three choices when you botch a step rough framing a house :\n1 . you can ignore it and hope you get the finishing layer ( drywall , siding , flooring ) up quick to cover the mistake .\n2 . you can over build around the mistake thereby alleviating any weakness it may cause . this is why i have one window with 3 2\u00d74\u2019s framing it out instead of two .\n3 . you can get angry , swear out load and tear the mistake out and start over .\ni\u2019m not sure which is better , i guess it is situation dependent and mood dependent , but today i chose the third option when i looked at my nice finished wall with only a single 2\u00d74 header . my swearing startled the dog as i tore into the wall like an angry beaver , splitting studs and flinging bent nails . in the end i got the wall put back together and now i can\u2019t wait to cover it up to hide the hammer depressions and other tool scars that mar the studs in the wall . undertaking a project like this alone is polarizing to your mood , if you mess up there only you to blame but when things go well you get to bask in the glory of a job well done . so that is where we are now , basking in a house that has all four walls and is ready for a roof .\ni\u2019m afraid to say i\u2019ve had no deep thoughts today , so in turn today\u2019s blog post will be a tad dry , but there are some techy details i haven\u2019t included in this record yet that may prove useful should anyone chose to build a similar house . i drew up the plans for this house based on local building codes , less than 200 sq . ft . does not require a building permit as long as the building is \u201cuninhabitable\u201d which official makes this project a shed / workshop , both of which are acceptable used for this building . you should look into your local building codes before starting as the square footage may be different . i would be all in favor of going the permit route , it just didn\u2019t seem necessary for me since i was ok with a small building , but it may be something worth thinking about for you as then you wouldn\u2019t be bound by any superficial size limits . there isn\u2019t a proportional relationship between size and cost , meaning it wouldn\u2019t cost twice as much to make a house twice as large .\ntwo online resources were helpful to me . first was a forum thread from a guy who built a similar sized building : urltoken\nwell , i couldn\u2019t wait for the blueprints to get here , so buy the time they arrived today all four walls were up . that said , it may not be a bad idea to get good plans ahead of time , unless you\u2019re like me and you prefer to just wing it . just ask yourself : can you follow a recipe in the kitchen ? if yes , get the blueprints and paint by numbers , if no don\u2019t waste your time or money and be prepared to waste a few 2\u00d74\u2019s and do the occasional problem solving ( with a 10 pound sledge hammer ) .\nso far this project is around $ 2300 and i expect that it will close to $ 4000 by the time the walls are sheeted and the roof is finished . there are of course cheaper ways to build a house like this , maybe you could score some used lumber or perhaps you live somewhere dry where you can get away with not using treated lumber . also , i am over building this house so that i will be sure it can hold up a heavy snow load , which , if you live somewhere that doesn\u2019t get heavy snow would save you some money . either way , if you do the labor yourself your going to get a great building for a low cost . i estimate that finished this project will come in around $ 5000 ( which i\u2019m sure isn\u2019t going to happen , but better be optomisitc ) .\nbig day on the cabin when the tall south wall was grunted up into place . up until now there was just the lower north wall up , and let me tell ya , one wall doesn\u2019t really inspire the idea of a house , more like a big fence . with the north wall up it definitely is looking more house - like , and even though i knew how tall the wall was as i was building it flat on the deck , it wasn\u2019t until you could take a step back that the size made it\u2019s impression . i can honestly say i have never built something so tall , and in my own way , i felt like i really achieved something , who knew all it would take was a stick framed 14 foot wall to elicit such feelings of accomplishment ?\nsouth wall in the process of being framed . close inspection of the windows closest will reveal a mistake , i mean an extra reinforced window frame .\nthere was a moment today as i was framing in the windows that i started to rue the day i decided to buy 10 windows for this cabin , as each one needs to be boxed in which takes time and materials . but i think the end result will more than offset the work and money in light and heat .\nas i expected , there were a few bone head mistakes throughout the day of framing . lucking i figured out that instead of taking apart the mistake you can usually just overload the botched area with reinforcing studs ( if anyone asks why one of your windows is framed by triple 2\u00d74\u2019s just say you were concerned about load carrying capacity or something like that ) . so the wall has a dozen extra linear feet of board , it\u2019s just stronger for my mistakes .\nthe mistakes stem from the fact that even though i have built many things in my life and consider myself to be a fair woodworker and craftsman , i never had any training in carpentry . the reason i say this is that i believe anyone with the proper mindset and a helpful neighbor or two and tackle this size and style project . if you are thinking about building a micro house , maybe start with a chicken coop ( or a bird house if your building skills begin and end with gingerbread houses ) to get your feet wet and to get familiar with the tools and products you\u2019ll be using in your house . or you could do what i did and just jump in feet first knowing full well that there will be moments of utter dismay from time to time when you realize you\u2019re learning curve will result in doing things twice .\nsourcing materials for a house can seem to be as much as a challenge as building the dern thing , assuming you are working on a budget . for me , i planned on spending $ 3500 for this build , which is for just the rough building , not any finish work like flooring or exterior siding . so any place i can find used materials to save a few bucks is a good thing considering all the tools i have needed to buy which didn\u2019t factor into the original estimate . any time you are building you should make the effort to find used materials as , having worked briefly in the building industry , i know there is a tremendous amount of extra materials that can be repurposed directly from the builders or through stores like the habitat for humanity restores which are amazing places full of very nice stuff .\nover the last few days i have been busy collecting windows both up here and also down in madison . i found 8 casement windows of varying quality for around $ 200 from two different building supply resale stores . they are all in good shape and for this project will be perfect . i have been taking some grief lately for the amount of windows in the this house , 8 and a full glass front door , but as it will make the house brighter ( no electricity for lighting ) and also make the most of any passive solar heat , the windows are well worth the extra cost and work to frame them out .\nthe # 10 dutch oven i bought earlier this year is coming in handy now as i don\u2019t have to cook dinner . as long as the sun is out i have been busy on the house , so any time i can save is important . i found a great recipe for low tech chili the other day before i left to go down state to see some family and get my new front door framed out .\ncook at 350 ( 20 or so coals , 1 / 3 under dutch over , 2 / 3 on top ) for 45 minutes .\nprivacy & cookies : this site uses cookies . by continuing to use this website , you agree to their use . to find out more , including how to

making , but in 1961 the chorleywood bread process changed everything . invented by uk scientists , the chorleywood method allows a loaf to go from flour to sliced and packaged in about three - and - a - half hours using high - speed mixers and the addition of extra yeast and dough - improving chemicals . now bread that is soft , springy and consistent takes much less time and costs much less to produce .\nlook at the ingredients on a bread label and alongside the more recognisable substances you ' ll often see a list of mysterious numbers . some of these additives are what are known as bread and dough\nimprovers\nor\nconditioners\n. they often have more than one function , but generally they ' re designed to dramatically increase the rate at which the dough rises ( helping breadmakers increase production speeds and lower costs ) , improve bread texture and taste , and extend shelf life .\nprocessing ingredients you ' ll commonly see are mineral salt 170 ( calcium carbonate ) and ascorbic acid ( food acid 300 or treatment agent 300 ) , otherwise known as vitamin c . emulsifiers ( 427e , 481 , 471 ) , vegetable gums ( 412 , 461 ) and amino acid 920 speed up dough handling , help sliced bread retain its shape and extend shelf life by reducing the crystallisation of starch that makes the bread go hard ( if you put bread in the fridge , the cold temperature increases the rate of crystallisation and the bread goes hard faster ) .\nonly small amounts of these additives are required \u2013 usually up to three percent of the bread \u2013 and bakers often buy them in a ready - made premix , to which they add water and yeast . most breads , whether from a factory or a small baker , are made from similar premixes \u2013 differences generally stem from baking techniques .\nsince 2009 , it ' s been mandatory for breads ( except organic ones ) to add iodine via iodised salt ( for thyroid health ) , as well as folic acid , a form of the b vitamin folate that helps reduce the rate of neural tube defects in infants .\nwhile emulsifiers and other\nimprovers\nare widely accepted as safe , preservatives are more controversial . introduced in the 1990s as a mould retardant , calcium propionate , or 282 , is the best - known preservative of public concern .\nalthough approved by food standards australia and new zealand ( fsanz ) for use at specified levels , a furore erupted when a study by food additive activist sue dengate , published in the journal of paediatrics and child health in 2002 , showed 282 to be associated with irritability , restlessness , inattention and sleep disturbance in children .\nin response to consumer concern , most breadmakers removed 282 from many of their breads , although it ' s still often used in other products such as crumpets , muffins , turkish bread and pizza bases . it ' s also widely found in wraps .\nwith 282 a dirty word for concerned consumers , some breadmakers get around the problem by using its close relative , propionic acid ( 280 ) , instead .\nthe internet is awash with warnings of the dangers of 282 and other food additives , pointing to a cumulative cocktail in the body which can lead to a host of symptoms from migraine and tiredness to rashes , gastro - intestinal upsets and depression .\npropionates ( 280\u2013283 ) are on the list of food additives that can be associated with food intolerance in the royal prince alfred hospital elimination diet . on her food intolerance network website , dengate argues that children ' s behaviour and learning is more affected than authorities will admit , citing stories from parents who noticed a behavioural improvement when 282 was removed from their child ' s diet .\nbut dr rob loblay , director of the allergy unit at sydney ' s rpa hospital , argues that about five percent of the general population is sensitive to one or more food additives , whether artificial or natural , and considers the push to ban additives\noverblown\n.\nthe issue is very complicated ,\nsays vijay jayasena , professor of food science and technology at western australia ' s curtin university .\nthe first thing people should know is that not all preservatives are artificial or may cause harm , and many are useful for food safety .\njayasena says most people won ' t be affected by 282 , while for others it ' s about dosage .\nit ' s hard to say at what level 282 may cause a reaction in each individual , because people can have reactions to so many things and at different levels . however , if you ' re worried about them you should avoid them .\nanti - additive campaigners argue that until additives are proved safe , fsanz should use the precautionary principle where suspect additives are substituted with others that don ' t raise health concerns .\nif you ' re worried about preservatives , jayasena says breads baked daily in - store generally have few , if any , preservatives , because any bread not sold is usually thrown out at the end of the day . check the ingredient labels , or ask the baker what preservatives they use .\nquestions have been raised about a loophole in labelling laws that allows manufacturers to avoid listing unpopular ingredients such as 282 or 223 . in the food standards code , food processing aids don ' t have to be listed as ingredients . according to fsanz , it ' s very unusual for there to be anything other than minimal residues of these processing aids in foods .\nas a sulphite , 223 is not permitted for use as a preservative in bread . it is , however , permitted for use as a processing agent \u2013 and so it can be used and not listed .\nif 282 is used as a preservative , it must be listed , but if the manufacturer deems it a processing aid , it does not . so it ' s essentially up to manufacturers to\napply good manufacturing practice\n.\nenzymes such as alpha - amylase are also classed as processing aids and so don ' t have to be listed . used in most breads in a dried , powdered form , they artificially help speed up the fermenting process that would normally occur when traditional dough is left to rise .\nconcerns have been raised that enzymes are still allergenic , even after baking . studies have found workers exposed to airborne particles of alpha - amylase can become susceptible to\nbaker ' s asthma\n. but fsanz argues most of the allergenic effect of alpha - amylase is destroyed during cooking , pointing to a world health organization / un food and agriculture organization expert committee which found no adverse effect from seven grams of the enzyme per kilogram of body weight per day .\nin 2012 , a ruckus erupted when it was revealed that coles\nfreshly baked instore\nbread was actually par - baked bread made in ireland .\npar - baking is when bread is baked to around 80\u201390 % completion , snap frozen and transported to the store , where it is baked for the final 10 % . often there is no difference in ingredients , but par - baked bread ' s freshness starts to decline after about six hours .\nin june 2013 , the australian competition and consumer commission ( accc ) instituted proceedings in the federal court against coles , accusing the supermarket of misleading consumers about its par - baked products . in june 2014 , coles was found guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct , with the australian federal court ruling it breached the australian consumer law ( acl ) by labelling its par - baked bread\nfresh\n.\nthe bread industry ( like our supermarkets ) is dominated by a duopoly . you may see many brands , but at least two - thirds of all our bread comes from two big corporations \u2013 george weston foods and goodman fielder .\nthe only thing better than toast is . . . a toastie ! we give toasted sandwich makers a grilling in our\nas a general rule of thumb , bread with at least 2g of dietary fibre per serve is a\nsource\nof fibre , bread with at least 4g of dietary fibre per serve is a\ngood source\nof fibre , and with at least 7g of dietary fibre per serve is an\nexcellent source\n( food standard 1 . 2 . 7 ) . white bread labelled\nhigh fibre\noften contains hi -

the job experience over education , and presents multiple opportunities for candidates of any age or skill - set to board a relatively short on - ramp into the industry . once you learn how to become a cyber security specialist , consider taking a look at the resources sentinelone can offer to make your life easier , such as our report , \u201c\naccording to sc magazine technology editor peter stephenson , \u201csentinelone\u2019s strengths include strong zero - day capabilities and excellent support packages \u2013 some of the best forensics we\u2019ve seen . this analysis almost can be thought of as the storyline of malicious code\u2019s entry into the infected system and subsequent execution . because it treats every infection as a zero - day , there is no missing of malicious code or generating false positives . \u201d\n\u201ca rapid and coordinated response is critical to defend against today\u2019s threats . the fortinet security fabric has the breadth to scale across the entire enterprise infrastructure and the fortinet fabric - ready partner program enables customers to apply the benefits of the security fabric to their multi - vendor environments . working with sentinelone helps our joint customers seamlessly integrate next - generation endpoint protections with fortinet\u2019s broad , powerful and automated security fabric . \u201d\noriginal blog post most users are allowed to have administrative privileges that enable them to download and install applications from the web . this makes it very easy for attackers to plant hidden malware and compromise devices . one of the tools that are being used to do this is called backdoor factory , and the reason for its popularity is it able of maintaining the size of the file while still keeping the full executable functionality . the sentinelone agent provides several ways of preventing and mitigating such attack flows , both on windows and macos . on this demo , you can see how sentinelone agent is mitigating it pre - execution using 2 . 1 version . for a demo ( found on the original blog post ) , we used process explorer ( microsoft file ) that was manipulated by backdoor factory to include a malicious code . check it out here !\n\u201cusing dfi for prevention , and combining behavioral - based detection of threats and exploits , gives our mutual customers complete coverage from every vector of attack , \u201d said weingarten . \u201ccoupled with real - time visibility and automated remediation , sentinelone\u2019s approach changes the way that customers can protect against advanced , targeted cyber threats , and the integration with fortinet means our customers are getting two best - of - breed products that work together seamlessly . \u201d\n\u201cbeing named best emerging technology of the year in the hyper competitive sc awards is a major accomplishment since it spans all categories of infosecurity innovation , \u201d said tomer weingarten , ceo sentinelone . \u201cour ability to detect and protect against the most elusive and virulent forms of attack , including ransomware and nation - grade exploits , is a major breakthrough . since we are av - test certified , we can totally displace antivirus in regulated environments . \u201d\n\u201cthis new partnership with fortinet is another significant step in changing the face of endpoint protection and replacing the old guard of legacy antivirus software on a global scale . traditional antivirus products can\u2019t keep pace with the evolving threat landscape and companies have relied on outdated technologies for far too long . through this partnership , our mutual customers can now seamlessly integrate sentinelone\u2019s next generation endpoint protection solution , which is designed to meet the realities of today\u2019s threat landscape . \u201d\ndaniel is responsible for sentinelone\u2019s technology alliances and integrations globally . he is focused on building an active and open ecosystem to drive adoption and inorganic revenue . he was previously director of global business development at cylance as well as held leadership roles at dropbox , sourcing and running global partnerships . prior to operational leadership roles in technology companies , daniel started his career in investment banking , covering technology sector ipo and m & a transactions , based in hong kong and san francisco .\nin order to be truly proactive , every endpoint must be protected against every type of attack at every stage of the threat lifecycle . traditional anti - virus software programs have represented only a partial solution . as heartland contends , there is simply no way to make a system completely breach - proof , so quick detection of problems and fast remediation of them are essential . next gen from sentinelone is uniquely suited to maximize prevention and increase the speed of detection and remediation .\nsentinelone was founded in 2013 by an elite group of cybersecurity and defense experts who share a strong passion for disruption , and a clear vision for a path forward in a post - antivirus era . building on their experiences learned at check point software technologies , ibm , intel security , palo alto networks , and white hat security , the team is committed to the mission of defeating advanced cyber threats and instilling confidence in our digital way of life . find out more at urltoken\nsentinelone has brought daniel bernard on board as vice president of business development to lead the s1 nexus program . in his role , bernard will source and manage global alliance and technology integration partners to complement the go - to - market team . previously , bernard was a founding member of dropbox\u2019s partnership team , creating and leading its partnership with one of the world\u2019s largest pc manufacturers . he also helped lead the build - out of cylance\u2019s international field operations during its global expansion .\nhaving written on the topic of cyber insurance in the past\u2014and having seen jeremiah grossman , chief of security strategy at sentinelone , speak on the topic of cyber insurance and software guarantees at no fewer than three infosec conferences in the past year ( appsec california 2016 , issa los angeles 2016 , and black hat usa 2016 ) \u2014 i decided to explore the guarantee portion of the topic . this article is a result of grossman\u2019s presentation materials combined with interviews conducted with the software guarantee champion .\ngareth is responsible for revenue and field operations in emea and apac . before joining sentinelone , gareth was the general manager for aerohive in emea and apac taking aerohive from an unknown start up to revenues in excess of $ 70m . prior to aerohive , gareth served as vp enterprise for juniper networks through its acquisition of netscreen networks . he helped establish netscreen as a key network security vendor in the emea marketplace , taking the company from start - up to revenues to in excess of $ 120million .\nat sentinelone , grossman asked the team to give him data on what the product can detect and how often it may miss things . \u201cbased on our findings , we ended up signing up for a ransomware payment guarantee\u2014not the downtime or loss of data , \u201d said grossman . \u201cwe then looked at the impact of something being missed in relation to the ransomware guarantee we wanted to offer and shared this assessment data with the insurer . the insurer used this data to determine the premium for our own e & o ( errors and omissions ) policy , giving us reasonable and affordable deductibles . \u201d\nepp was demonstrated on a morphed piece of malicious code . first , a copy of zbot , a well - known banking trojan , was analyzed by both epp and two other av products . both products caught the malware and took appropriate action . next , the zbot sample was morphed by making a trivial two - character change using a hex editor . the change did not affect the virulence of the malware . epp still caught the malware while the other two products did not . epp then protected all of the devices on the enterprise against this morphed strain of zbot . sentinelone calls this last action autoimmune protection .\ngartner ' s research methodology provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers in fast - growing markets : leaders , visionaries , niche players and challengers .\ngartner does not endorse any vendor , product or service depicted in its research publications , and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings or other designation . gartner research publications consist of the opinions of gartner ' s research organization and should not be construed as statements of fact . gartner disclaims all warranties , expressed or implied , with respect to this research , including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose .\nmedia : marc gendron , 781 -

of - things , and bring your own device policies , enterprise networks are no - longer sterile , self - contained entities that can hide behind the shield of a firewall and an anti - virus package . combine this with nation - state - level cyber - warfare and the emergence of groups like anonymous and the picture only grows more dire .\n\u201cthe age of the antivirus is over , \u201d says sentinel labs co - founder and ceo tomer weingarten in an interview with pando . \u201cthe threat landscape is rapidly changing and the current security paradigms don ' t do a good enough job of protecting at the endpoints . network - side solutions simply have too limited visibility into threats . \u201d\ntoday , the company is working to take this early core technology and extend it into an entire next - gen endpoint protection suite that will include for policy management , application control , firewalls , and other complementary security features . the admittedly ambitious goal is to replace anti - virus entirely .\nsentinel recently exited a closed beta with a handful of large enterprises across the financial services , pharmaceutical , telecom , technology and other at risk industries , including yahoo , netflix , and box . the platform has shown a near 90 percent detection rate of zero day threats , weingarten claims , which is orders of magnitude greater than traditional antivirus technology .\nthe company is just seven months post - closing its $ 2 . 5 million seed round and has the majority of that cash still in the bank . but with its ga product now in the marketplace and early market validation goals already met and surpassed , today\u2019s new financing is about seizing this enormous market as quickly as possible , weingarten says . this means , in part , building out the remaining feature set to not just complement existing anti - virus solutions but to replace them entirely . it also means building out an enterprise - grade salesforce and educating the market as to what sentinel sees as the future of cyber - security .\n\u201cif you asked me a year ago , i would have told you that cios and cisos required lots of education and convincing as to why this is a better solution , \u201d weingarten says . \u201ctoday , that\u2019s no longer the case . enterprise security departments know that their endpoints are vulnerable and are actively looking for solutions . fireeye acquiring mandiant and palo alto networks acquiring cyvera tells you that the incumbents know it as well . \u201d\n\u201cwe believe that deploying sentinel will actually translate to cost savings because it will allow enterprises to eliminate other costly security practices as a result , \u201d he says . the company also estimates that its clients will benefit through increased cpu and memory utilization efficiency thanks to sentinel\u2019s ability to detect intent before apts have an opportunity to execute and consume valuable computing resources .\nwith the company targeting the enterprise initially , there will be no freemium version of sentinel for the foreseeable future . but long term , weingarten adds that the company may eventually target the smb market , which would mean introducing a \u201clight - touch offering . \u201d\nsentinel faces competition not only from the multi - billion dollar security incumbents like fireeye , barracuda networks , wildfire ( palo alto networks ) , and failsafe ( damballa ) , but also from upstarts like cyberreason , shape security , and confer . but few , if any , of these companies have outlined plans to replace anti - virus entirely , and most are focused only on a single segment of the enterprise environment \u2013 such as web - security or mobile device management and security .\nthere are new security threats emerging daily which means that each of these solutions tend to work , until the time they don\u2019t . sentinel , like its industry peers , is engaged in an arms race with well - funded and highly motivated attackers , including rogue private elements and nation - state - sponsored cyber - armies .\n\u201cour biggest challenge going forward will be to remain at the cutting edge and predicting the next generation of security threats , \u201d weingarten says .\nenterprise security is difficult to put a price tag on , but with the combination of ip loss and overall productivity drain costing the global economy more than $ 300 billion per year , and the us economy alone north of $ 100 billion according to a july 2013 study by the center for strategic and international studies , any price tag is likely cheap by comparison .\nthus , if sentinel has in fact built a better mousetrap , it\u2019s poised to become a massive company \u2013 and a massive target .\nthe ai event of the year for growth marketers . aug . 21 -

' ' one million souls ' ' , ' ' revelation ' ' , ' ' player ' ' , and especially ' ' lunchbox ' ' [ a very energetic track and the best one on the album ] are the highlights of this album . nuwine isn ' t really the best lyricist i ' ve heard [ as evidenced by the lyrics inside the cd booklet ] , but , if his cool southern voice is put over the right kind of beat , it could make for some pretty entertaining music . i reccomend this to fans of scarface , 2pac , and c -

round unanimous decision over oscar riojas , then defended the belt last september . having fought most of the bouts at home in puerto rico and the dominican republic , this will be collazo\u2019s first fight in the us since his february 2013 pro debut that ended in a draw .\nas nuwine proclaims himself in one of the interludes , this album is real . the association with evander holyfield in distribution was a pleasant surprise . this is one of the best rap cd ' s i have ever listened to . give it a few more rotations and i might call it the best . the one thing that sets this album apart from any other is the realness . except for the minority of underground listening hip - hop heads , the\nthug\nimage - - language and lifestyle - - has consumed the hip - hop market . ghetto mission is full of inner - city tales , futuristic beats and a rough voice that yells frustration and stresses revolution . the difference is this is no money - hungry bum killing off his own while being co - opted and further corrupted . i know that nuwine would agree with me in saying , there is still hope though . his name is jesus , and you ' re completely blind if you can ' t feel this album .\nnuwine presents a somewhat diffent album from his previous albums with ' ghetto mission ' . because all his other albums besides ' da bloody 5th ' kind of stunk , he came out with this one to make a comeback . joining evander holyfield ' s record label , nuwine chose some of the best producers i ' ve heard . but , out of the 21 tracks featured , half of them weren ' t that good . the other half was , though . another problem i have with this album is nuwine ' s sudden change of rapping style . i don ' t know if he was trying to immitate dmx or mystikal , but i much prefer his style back on ' da bloody 5th ' . for instance , on the track\nlunchbox\n, he doesn ' t really rap , except on the chorus , which is pretty darn good . and on\nhell\n, he pretty much wastes the incredible background music , not counting his 30 seconds of rapping . but , despite my complaints , he did come out with a good album . the best songs that make this album worthwhile are\ndrownin '\n,\nguitar slim\n, and\ntest\n. i also like\nbad day\n, which is total 2pac - style . well , even though i have some problems with it , i rotate it about every day , just listening to\ndrownin '\nalone sometimes . nuwine fans , check it out ; other people , check out\ncontroverse all -

op games , sega executives worked hard to lure developers away from nintendo . these efforts were often successful , as sega marketed the genesis as hip , cool , and edgy . sonic , released in 1991 , had attitude . sega also focused attention on its better graphics , speed , and sound , especially after the release of sonic . the genesis could do things that the nes simply couldn ' t . the mega drive / genesis also supported a number of add -

based , heuristics - based , and machine learning detection methods are not perfect . as shown by a research study in the chart above , single anti - malware engines detect at best up to 91 . 8 percent of common cyber threats , and the majority of them only have a 40 to 80 percent detection rate .\nresearch shows that as more anti - malware engines are added , malware detection rates improve , since each engine may not detect certain types of threats . each individual engine specializes in different categories . since each anti - malware engine uses different algorithms , malware analysts are in different time zones and different geographically - based labs , the value of combining multiple anti - malware engines significantly increases detection .\nas shown in our multi - scanning test of more than 10 , 000 of the most active threats , we achieved over 95 percent detection with 12 combined engines , over 97 percent detection with 16 engines , and over 99 percent detection with 20 or more engines .\nduring malware outbreaks the time it takes to detect a new threat is critical . even small changes in detection rates can add days , weeks or months to the time it takes for various anti - malware engines to respond to emerging threats .\nurltoken conducted a test that shows that the detection mechanisms used by different anti - malware engines are faster at detecting certain malware compared to others . by combining the results of multiple scanning engines , we can reduce outbreak exposure times and achieve virtually zero exposure .\nthese gaps in detection are cause for concern because they expose organizations that use only a single anti - malware engine that hasn ' t yet detected a specific threat . for example , the nemucod . kp trojan was initially detected by three anti - malware engines on march 16th , 2016 . within two days eleven anti - malware engines had detected the threat , and after one week sixteen engines had detected it . but months later , 24 engines still had not detected the nemucod . kp threat .\nthe ability for multi - scanning to dramatically reduce the exposure gaps of using one or a small number of anti - malware engines makes it a valuable approach for the early detection of emerging and actual outbreaks .\nwith multi - scanning , you can avoid exposures caused by the potential limitations of a single vendor . this could be a technology issue , like a particular vendor being unable to detect a vulnerability because of a technical limitation , or it could be a business reason , like a vendor not being allowed to operate in certain geographic regions or government agencies . for example :\nover - reliance on a single vendor can prove challenging , but these issues are avoided with multi - scanning approaches . multi - scanning also gives you the flexibility of removing a problematic vendor from your deployment environment if vendor issues occur .\nfalse positives , where files are reported as malicious when they are not , surface as a side - effect of any malware scanning solution , and can adversely affect business operations . to further complicate the issue , false positives are often only reported by a few anti - malware vendors at a time , and they are not always consistent or reproducible during testing .\nfalse positive rates are reduced because many malware vendors work together through malware data sharing programs . this means that vendors work together to help codify true positives and false positives , so that overlapping vendor data has many fewer false positives , thus improving the results of using multi - scanning .\nalso vendors share whitelist ( trusted file ) data . our whitelist database accumulates the data from many vendors , which also reduces false positive detection rates .\nevery engine returns some false positives , but it is incorrect to assume that using two engines results in double the number of false positives . overlap in the detection of false positives using multi - scanning , limits the number of new false positives added by each new engine , as our multi - scanning research demonstrates . when we use more engines , the amount of false positives does go up , but only by a small , fractional amount , which is outweighed by the many benefits of multi - scanning ."]}

for release this year and after its release , he will start shooting for this film . a source tells us ,\nthe first part of the film was humungously famous and hence , writing a sequel to something so popular is challenging . the writers are trying to find better punchlines , more effortless comic scenes that will suit varun . his mannerisms are very different from salman ' s and so the humour , too , will be in a different space .\nso far , the target fro the script is june and the film will start rolling after september . varun will have enough time to prep up for his characters . while the story is underway , varun will start shashank khaitan ' s next '\nhe has just 2 weeks left & i need rs . 5 . 5 lakh to save him .\n' . over an hour - long conversation , he talks to bombay times about having a kickass 2014 , the value he places on oral commitment and how he financially gains by being a generous producer . excerpts :\nyour family has been in the business for 60 years , you have been a producer for over 25 years and this year you debuted as a director . which has professionally been your best year ?\n2014 was phenomenal with highway , heropanti , 2 states and kick . my grandfather started in 1955 with producing inspector . i don\u2019t think from that time till now , more than 2 or 3 production houses have survived , the rest have shut down . just thinking about that , i get gooseflesh . we have been making films for 60 years now . there have been some good years and some bad years , but to survive for 60 years is not a joke .\nfirst , i made films with risk . they were brave films like ' highway ' in different genres . so far i had been otherwise making films of a certain kind that i wanted to make . for the first time , i took the liberty of joining hands with someone like karan johar for ' 2 states ' that i had never done before . earlier , i had always been an independent producer . i have always launched newcomer heroines , but had never launched a new boy that i did this year with tiger shroff . and fourth was to launch myself as a director after 25 years of struggling as a producer . and that film became my biggest hit and the biggest film made by a debut director in bollywood . over 60 years , no one had been a director in my family . and while my nani and mother were skeptical and worried whether i would be able to pull it off , my wife warda had always been confident that i could do it .\nto start with , we have kabir khan\u2019s ' phantom ' , imtiaz ali\u2019s ' tamasha ' , rohit dhawan\u2019s film with varun dhawan and john abraham , sabir khan\u2019s film with tiger shroff and then farhad sajid\u2019s ' housefull 3 ' with akshay kumar , abhishek bachchan and riteish deshmukh .\nmy grandfather used to love filmmaking , but he died when i was in class x . i remember , going on his set and sitting on his lap . people would come and touch his feet and call him sethji . in those days , the first shot would not be taken till the mahurat ladoos came . i remember eating those ladoos and having ice creams at film trials . there was no medium of publicity then , no trailers and that was the era of pure trial . if we were going to see taj mahal , nobody knew anything about it , so people who saw the trial were the lucky lot . we had our own theatres and my grandfather had a lot of property , not just buildings , but he owned roads in malad . he worked with the best directors and stars and would sign manmohan desai , prakash mehra , mr amitabh bachchan and vinod khanna for three films each . i am happy that i have carried his baton forward and have also worked with top stars\nand akshay kumar in multiple films . it has been a great journey , not just making films , but also doing well for 60 years .\nyou are perceived to be a generous producer who brings great production values to your films .\nyes , as i feel whenever i have paid well , i have earned also well . whenever i have tried to negotiate , my profit has also reduced . as a producer , my success rate is 90 % . that means somewhere , i greenlight my films very well . they may not be out of the box and i don\u2019t take risks except in 2014 when i did and also gained from it . actors are also insecure just as we producers are . so , for them to sit in a boat that is 90 % safe is easier . the actor feels that we know our job well . we are totally committed to the film till not just its release , but even after . when a director comes to us , he knows that he will be taken care of , money being the last aspect . the colour of money is the same everywhere , but my office is committed to looking after his needs . money used to be important for me earlier , but over the past few years , it keeps coming and does not matter now . today , we greenlight films creatively , not just keeping money in mind . i want that any director who comes and works with us should do 5 - 7 films with us .\nsome of the best directors like imtiaz ali and kabir khan like working with you . how do you manage that ?\nbesides being a producer , i am also an associate director . i take care of the creative needs of a director . during my learning stages , a lot of credit goes to my uncles , farruk and habib who made ghulami . they treated me as one normal 7th assistant and not as their relative on the set . so , i grew up learning the protocol of knowing a director\u2019s requirement . so today , when i handle top directors , i know how to handle them . i don\u2019t interfere creatively , but know how to provide for him . i am servicing the director . anyways , i feel what\u2019s the point of taking a top director if i want to tell him what to do . for me , it\u2019s a learning process working with imtiaz or kabir . despite having produced 200 films , i still feel like an assistant . filmmaking is easy if you have the right people at the right place , otherwise it can take ages to make a film . i don\u2019t make a budget ever , as you then start cutting budgets even before the film is made , but i have my own way of looking after that . and it has worked very well for me . i studied law and ca and therefore , my creativity and commerce run parallely . they don\u2019t intercept each other .\nmy younger son is too small , but my older son , who is 12 , has decided that he wants to be an actor . so it seems that 60 years in cinema is looking like it will be 100 years for our family .\nthe much - awaited trailer of john abraham , varun dhawan and jacqueline fernandez action adventure film dishoom is all set to release today .\nthe much - awaited trailer of john abraham , varun dhawan and jacqueline fernandez action adventure film dishoom is all set to release today .\nwhile there is a lot of anticipation and

he was optimistic and we were optimistic . he spoke in this vein at the rochester conference on coherence , june 1960 . ( 1 was not there ; i believe cummins went . ) as i understand it from talking to others , heavens reported that we were on the verge of a laser . malcolm stitch then telephoned his management and told them the columbia group was about to publish , and hughes then announced the maiman laser .\nno one was at crl at the time . townes was away . we had a public address system and the announcement came over it that there was a call for townes . i took it and it was walter sullivan of the new york times . he had just attended the hughes press conference on the optical maser . sullivan often called townes to get elucidations of new physics . i told sullivan : \u201cit can\u2019t work in ruby . \u201d sullivan said : \u201cthey used a flash lamp . \u201d we had never considered anything but continuous - wave pumping . i had to concede a pulsed system might work .\ncummins and i conferred on how to reconcile maiman\u2019s result with what we were doing . we reasoned that we could be the first with the continuous - wave laser . cummins didn\u2019t throw in the towel until javan\u2019s hene laser .

partner fertility ( e . g . , guzzo and furstenberg 2007 ; manlove et al . 2008 ) .\nthe national maternal and infant health survey ( nmihs ) asked a large representative sample of women with live births during the year of 1988 to report the age of the father of their child , allowing researchers to estimate the number of births to men of different ages during that calendar year . lindberg and colleagues ( 1998 ) combined nmihs information on fathers\u2019 ages with data from the u . s . census bureau to estimate nonmarital fertility rates for teen men in the population . they used the nmihs estimates to externally evaluate young men\u2019s fertility reports from the 1988 and 1991 waves of the national survey of adolescent males ( nsam ) . for the calendar year of 1988 , they estimated a birth rate of 16 . 4 per 1000 unmarried teen men based on the nmihs and 14 . 1 based on young men\u2019s self - reports in the nsam . the ratio of these rates indicates that as many as 87 . 8 % of unmarried teen births were reported by men in the nsam .\nthe more complete reports found in nsam could reflect the fact that the interval between the birth and the interview in which fertility histories were first collected was considerably shorter than in other surveys . nsam\u2019s more complete reports could also reflect its innovative approach to collecting information about fertility . respondents were first asked to recall various sexual partners and then asked whether they had children with each partner . collecting fertility data within the context of relationship histories is intended to improve recall and appears to have been effective ( lindberg et al . 1998 ) .\nwhile both nsam and the nsfg collected information about births within the contexts of relationships , nsam obtained more complete reporting of births to teen men than did the nsfg . however , the assessments of male fertility data in these two surveys differ in some important respects . for instance , lindberg and colleagues ( 1998 ) relied on two waves of data to construct teen fertility rates .\nby using parallel measures of male fertility across different surveys , a single method for estimating male fertility in the population , and analogous subgroups , we can make explicit comparisons of the quality of data across surveys . these comparisons allow us to identify aspects of surveys that improve the quality of male fertility data . furthermore , these comparisons offer us indicators of data quality in the nlsy79 and nlsy97 , data sets that are widely used but have not been evaluated against an external standard .\neven a survey with adequate representation of men and closely - spaced interviews would have incomplete reporting of men\u2019s births if some men do not know about the birth of their children . the fragile families and child wellbeing study offers clues about men\u2019s awareness of their paternity . for example , fragile families asked unmarried mothers about their relationship with the father at the time of the birth . only 1 % of women could not identify the father of the birth , and another 9 % had little or no contact with the father ; the remainder of women reported they were in a friendship , marriage , or cohabiting relationship at the time of the birth ( carlson , mclanahan , england , and devaney 2005 ) . if we take an extreme position and assume mothers with little or no contact with the biological father at the time of the birth did not ever tell the father about the pregnancy , these results suggest that , at most , 10 % of biological fathers may not be aware that they have a child . it is likely that some of these mothers did tell the fathers about the pregnancy , bringing the true share below 10 % .\nin order to evaluate the quality of male fertility data , we compare age - specific fertility rates ( asfrs ) in surveys to population rates based on data from the vital statistics and the u . s . census bureau . these rates are calculated similarly to those for women in the population ( e . g . , hinde 1998 ; morgan , botev , chen , and huang 1999 ; preston et al . 2001 ) . we calculate the fertility rate at age x ( f x ) for men as follows :\nwhere b x is the number of births to men age x , and p x is the number of men age x in the population . we calculate asfrs that correspond to either periods or birth cohorts , depending on the focal survey , as we explain later . we estimate rates for all men and for different subgroups defined by race and marital status . we use birth certificate and population data that extend from 1972 to 2006 in order to cover the years that respondents in the surveys were at risk of having a birth .\nwhile the calculation of asfrs is relatively straightforward , generating reliable estimates of b x and p x from the survey data and from the population data requires some assumptions . we first describe our methods for calculating the asfrs from these data sources . we then discuss our assumptions and potential biases they may introduce .\nwe use multivariate imputation by chained equations ( allison 2001 ) to impute missing fathers\u2019 ages for each calendar year of risk based on other information on the birth certificate : age of the mother , race of the mother , education of the mother , and race of the father . typically , mothers who fail to report the age of fathers also fail to report their race . to impute the number of births to men of different racial groups , we assume that the race of the father , when missing , is the same as that of the mother . 2\nfollowing the national center for health statistics\u2019 procedures used for women , we compute marital - specific estimates of the number of men in the population by applying marital rates from the current population survey ( cps ) to our census estimates ( nchs 2004 ; king et al . 2009 ) . for instance , to estimate the number of married black men aged 18 in 2002 , we multiply the proportion that is married ( using three - year moving averages from the cps ) by the number of men in this group ( from the census data ) . 3\ncalculating fertility rates for the surveys similarly requires the number of births in the numerator and the number of men or women at risk in the denominator . for each survey , we create files of person - years lived by respondents to calculate fertility rates at each age from 15 to 24 . the denominator includes the weighted number of respondents who contribute observations to a given age , and the numerator includes the weighted number of births to these respondents . in some analyses , we stratify age - specific fertility rates by race and marital status , using measures comparable to those used for the population . for instance , we estimate a nonmarital birth rate at the age of 18 by including the weighted number of single births to men at this age as the numerator and the weighted number of men who are single in the middle of this age interval in the denominator .\nwe use data from the nlsy79 , the nlsy97 , and the 2002 nsfg . all three data sets include substantial minority over - samples that facilitate the estimation of race - specific fertility rates ; sampling weights for all three surveys adjust statistics so that samples are representative of their sampling frames .\nthe nlsy79 is a longitudinal survey that began with a representative sample of 14 to 21 - year - old men and women in 1979 . respondents were interviewed annually until 1996 and biennially since that time . our analysis is based on data from the 1979\u20131995 interviews , allowing us to create person - years files for all respondents that extend through age 25 . although the initial sample represents the civilian , noninstitutionalized population , the nlsy79 follows respondents if they become incarcerated or join the military , whenever possible .\nboth men and women in the nlsy79 were asked questions about their fertility behavior in each of the interviews . at the first interview , respondents were asked , \u201chow many children , altogether , have ( you ever given birth to / you ever had ) at any time , not counting babies that were dead at birth ? \u201d respondents who reported having any children were asked the dates of birth for each child . in subsequent rounds , the surveys alternated between updating from the previous survey ( 1980\u20131981 ; 1983\u20131994 ) and having respondents re - list any children they had ever had ( 1982 ; 1983 if missed the 1982 interview ) . the nlsy79 provides constructed fertility variables that incorporate several years of cleaning and editing ( center for human resource research 2006 ) .\nthe nlsy79 also includes detailed information about each respondent\u2019s marital history , including start and end dates of marriages and a measure of current marital status at each interview . the marital context of each birth is identified indirectly by examining respondents\u2019 marital status in the month the child was born .\ncycle 6 of the nsfg is , in contrast , a cross - sectional sample of women and men aged 15 to 45 in 2002 ( lepkowski , mosher , and davis 2006 ) . this cycle of the nsfg was the first to include men , but collected information on fertility using different instruments for men and women . cycle 6 collects information on male fertility with reference to specific sexual partners in hopes of eliciting higher reports of nonmarital fertility . men who report births are asked a direct question about whether he and the partner were married , cohabiting , or single at the time of each birth . in contrast , for nsfg women , fertility , marriage , and cohabitation histories are collected separately , and the relationship context of the birth is determined by comparing dates , as we do in the nlsy data .\nin estimating both the birth and population counts , we make several assumptions . to the extent that these assumptions lead us to misestimate the number of births or number of individuals at risk of a birth , they create bias in the fertility rates . to the extent that we overestimate fertility rates in the population , surveys will appear worse than they actually are , whereas to the degree that we underestimate the population fertility rates , surveys will appear more favorable .\nin estimating the number of men in the population , we assume that men who are in the armed forces overseas are at risk of having a birth in the united states . in results not presented here , we compared population asfrs for black and white men estimated with and without overseas armed forces men in two different calendar years ( 1991 and 2000 ) . at any given age , the largest difference between these two sets of estimates was 0 . 005 . presumably , the bias posed by including the overseas armed forces men is likely to be small because such a small percentage of young men fall into this category .\ndisplays the asfrs for three broad samples . results for women appear on the left , and results for men are displayed on the right . for all six groups , we display at each age the survey fertility rate , the population rate ( indicated by vs for vital statistics ) , the difference between the rates , and the ratio of the rates ( i . e . , the proportion of births reported ) . below the asfrs , we also present statistics that are averaged across five - year and ten - year age intervals . we weight each age equally in computing the averages for different age intervals , thus producing age - standardized ratios . for each ratio , we indicate whether the survey rate is significantly different from the population rate .\nnotes : fertility rates for different age groups are computed by averaging the asfrs comprising them ( weighting each age equally ) .\nall three surveys obtain almost complete reporting of women\u2019s fertility : the 10 - year age ratios range from 0 . 973 to 0 . 986 . the ratios for men are considerably lower and exhibit greater variability . the 10 - year age ratio for nsfg is 0 . 805 , while the ratios for nlsy79 and nlsy97 are 0 . 885 and 0 . 888 respectively . the ranking of these overall ratios for men is consistent with our hypothesis about the importance of longitudinal data , with the nlsys capturing a greater share of male births than the nsfg . the nlsy97 does not appear to be substantially better than the nlsy79 at capturing early male fertility , but these first analyses do not distinguish marital and nonmarital births . for these broad age intervals , the only survey rate that differs significantly from the population rate is for the nsfg men .\ncomparing the ratios averaged across ages 15\u201319 for the different surveys again suggests that the nlsy surveys do a better job of capturing births than the nsfg . the value for nsfg men indicates that this survey misses almost one - third of births to teen men . differences for the group aged 20 to 24 are less pronounced , but reveal a similar pattern .\nto facilitate interpretation , we present the remaining comparisons of survey and population asfrs in graphs . in\n, we compare vital statistics\u2019 rates ( using multiple imputation for missing father\u2019s age ) to estimates of male fertility based on the nsfg women\u2019s reports of the fathers\u2019 ages of their children born in this period ( 1991 to 2000 ) . the nsfg rates include the weighted number of births to men of different ages ( based on the nsfg female data ) in the numerator and the weighted population of nsfg men at different ages ( based on the nsfg male data ) in the denominator . it is reassuring to note that the rates based on the nsfg women\u2019s reports map closely to the population estimates . this suggests that our population - based rates are fairly accurate , and that any differences we see in the nsfg male asfrs are due to differences in the reporting of births ( the numerator ) rather than the representation of men in the survey ( the denominator ) .\nage - specific fertility rates for men by data source : 1991 to 2000 period ( ratio of rates r = . 805 * )\nnote : hollow circle means survey estimate different from population at p < . 05 ( two - tailed test ) .\nwe now turn to analyses that pertain to specific subgroups of men , beginning with the nsfg .\ndisplays six separate graphs for nsfg men in the 1990s . the first graph ( a ) copies survey and population estimates from\n. the second graph ( b ) drops foreign - born men who were not yet in the u . s . at a given age of risk to better capture men who were actually at risk of having a birth in the period . in this graph , and other analyses based on the nsfg ( not shown ) , we find that excluding this group does not make a substantive difference . in the remaining graphs , we include the foreign born because studies based on fatherhood in the nsfg typically include this group ( e . g . ,\n) . the following graphs compare the asfrs for four specific groups : white men ( c ) , black men ( d ) , single men ( e ) , and married men ( f ) . we do not take into account race and marital status simultaneously in our nsfg analyses because of small sample sizes for some subgroups , particularly black married men . results indicate that for white men , there is some underreporting of births (\n= . 824 ) . for black men , the gap between the population and survey estimates is much larger , and the gap increases with age . as expected , births to single men are underreported . in contrast , none of the survey estimates for married men differ significantly from the population estimates .\nnotes : line corresponds to rate estimated for the population using mice ; significant differences between the survey and population rate at any given age are indicated by the hollow circles .\n) : some differences are significant , but they are small in magnitude . as in the nsfg , births to black men are significantly underreported ; however , in the nlsy79 , the magnitude of underreporting is smaller , and it is statistically significant only in the early 20s . the results for single men resemble those for all men , with significant but small birth deficits among the three oldest ages . as expected , the asfrs for married men from the nlsy79 do not significantly differ from those for the population , with the exception of the rate at age 18 .\ndisplays these graphs for men from the nlsy97 . as in the case of the nsfg , the patterns for whites and single men from the nlsy97 closely resemble the overall patterns of men in this sample , with small deficits between the ages of 21 and 24 . it is reassuring to observe once again that the asfrs for men in the nlsy97 are close to those estimated for the population . in contrast to the other surveys , the nlsy97 does not show significant differences between the population estimates and the survey estimates for black men .\nin other analyses ( results not shown ) for blacks and whites from the nlsy79 and nlsy97 , we excluded those who had ever been in military barracks . we alternatively ran analyses that excluded respondents who were in prison or on military barracks during a given age of year of risk . none of these exclusions changed the overall pattern of results for white and black men . this partly reflects the fact that respondents in these institutions comprised a small proportion of the entire sample .\nour imputation methods assume that fathers with missing information on race ( who typically have missing information on age as well ) are the same race as mothers . we conducted sensitivity tests for men in the population from the 1980\u201384 birth cohort ( the group most likely to violate this assumption because of increases in interracial relationships ) to obtain an idea of how much distortion our homogamy assumption may create in the race - specific population asfrs ( results not shown ) . first , we assumed that the racial mix of parents at each age was the same for births with and without information on birth certificates . based on this assumption , we ended up reducing the number of births to white men at every age and increasing the number to black men , but the asfrs for black and white men barely changed . then , we repeated this exercise , assuming racial mixing was more common for births certificates with missing race . this alternative assumption did not dramatically change the patterns in these graphs .\nbecause marital status differs considerably by race , the confounding of race and marital status in these graphs makes it difficult to identify whether black men or single men are responsible for the observed underreporting of births .\npresents nonmarital asfrs for nlsy79 and nlsy97 by race . for men from the nlsy79 , we present two sets of these graphs : one set is based on the mott and colleagues\u2019 data removing births with low confidence births paternity codes ( a and c ) and the other based on the set of constructed variables without the mott and colleagues\u2019 changes ( b and d ) . as can be seen , the pattern of results does not differ according to which set we use ; however , there is an increase in underreporting for white men with the mott and colleague\u2019s changes ( i . e . ,\nresearchers have been concerned that incomplete reporting of men\u2019s births in surveys will bias the coefficients in multivariate models of the antecedents and consequences of early fertility . previous studies that have estimated parallel models of early parenthood find weaker effects of many family background variables for men compared to women ( e . g . , hynes et al . 2008 ; michael and tuma 1985 ) , but it is unclear whether these sex differences are due to differences in data quality or behavior .\n) . we use a sample of women for these simulations because we want to have initial models that are not biased by under - reporting or representation issues . we use the nsfg for these simulations . we limit the sample to women aged 20 or older at the time of the interview and estimate a logistic regression model predicting the likelihood of having a teen birth as a function of basic family background and demographic variables . we discard information on the exact timing of teen births in order to simplify our experiments . odds ratios for this model appear in column one of\nnotes : we examine whether the 95 % confidence interval corresponding to the estimate for each simulated includes the estimate from the model based on complete birth reports . confidence intervals do not include the point estimate are classified signficantly different .\nin our second experiment , we once again change 30 % of the teen births to the no birth category ; however , we assume greater underreporting among blacks than among other respondents based on their respective proportions of teen births underreported for our nsfg sample ( 43 % of teen births to black men and 23 % for non - black men ) . all other steps remain the same . for each variable in the two experiments that we conduct , we present the average of the 100 coefficients in columns 2 and 5 . in addition , we report the percent difference between the averaged coefficients and the original estimates ( columns 3 and 6 ) and the percent of the 100 models with coefficients that are significantly different from the original estimates ( columns 4 and 7 ) .\nthe results for the first experiment reveal a decline in magnitude of coefficients for each of the family background variables , with an average decline of around 10 % . still , the vast majority of coefficients from the first experiment fail to significantly differ from the original estimates . in the second experiment , the coefficient for \u201cblack\u201d declines by almost 50 % and is significantly different from the original estimate in all of the simulated samples ; this is consistent with the assumption of differential underreporting in this simulation . the attenuation of the other coefficients is generally weaker than in the first experiment . the results of these experiments suggest that underreporting attenuates coefficients in models of having a teen birth , especially the coefficients of variables associated with underreporting .\nresearchers are increasingly emphasizing the importance of men in studies of family formation ( bachrach 2007 ; forste 2002 ; goldscheider and kaufman 1996 ; greene and biddlecom 2000 ) . at the same time , they continue to express concerns about the quality of male fertility data in recent surveys . in response to these concerns , we estimated age - specific fertility rates during the teens and early twenties for men in nlsy79 , nlsy97 , and nsfg 2002 and compared them to male fertility rates estimated for the u . s . population . we found that in the nsfg , roughly four out of five early births were reported , and in the nlsy79 and nlsy97 , almost nine - tenths of early births were reported . in all three surveys , reporting deficits were especially pronounced for nonmarital births . reporting of births to women was virtually complete in all three surveys .\nin spite of the fact that nonresponse rates were considerably higher in the nlsy97 than in the nlsy79 ( aughinbaugh and gardecki 2008 ) , we found a slightly greater proportion of nonmarital births reported for this more recent cohort ( i . e . , . 858 versus . 829 ) . several factors could have improved reporting of nonmarital births , including the development of the fatherhood movement , greater paternity establishment , and increases in the proportion of nonmarital births that were to cohabiting parents ( kennedy and bumpass 2008 ; marsiglio , amato , day , and lamb 2000 ) .\nresults from our monte carlo experiments , which are based on levels of underreporting found for men in the nsfg , suggest that underreporting attenuates coefficients in models of early fatherhood . furthermore , the magnitude of attenuation depends on how strongly a given variable is associated with underreporting ; however , the attenuation of coefficients in models of teen births estimated for men from the nlsy79 and nlsy97 is likely to be smaller because a larger proportion of births in these surveys are reported .\nwhile we were not able to conduct separate analyses of hispanics due to limitations in the population data , we would be concerned about the reliability of these estimates nonetheless . the composition of the hispanic population changes across cohorts and even within cohorts at different ages due to immigration ( portes and rumbaut 1996 ) . the further we follow nlsy hispanics beyond the first interview , the less they will resemble hispanics from the same birth cohorts in the general population .\nthis study makes an important contribution to our understanding of the quality of male fertility data in major u . s . surveys . in the period following the nurturing fatherhood initiative , research on men\u2019s fertility has proliferated . yet , our understanding of the quality of male fertility data is based on studies that are now dated . our results reveal that the quality of male fertility data in the nlsy97 and the nlsy79 is better than that in the nsfg , suggesting that survey design matters to the quality of these data . they suggest that surveys collecting information on fertility for men prospectively are likely to be more successful than studies that collect this information retrospectively .\n1 information on marital status in the vital statistics data has varied across states and over time . the majority of states ask directly whether the mother was married \u201c at birth , conception , or any time in between , \u201d or alternatively , whether she was married to the father of the child . a few states determine marital status using inferential procedures ( see hamilton , martin and ventura 2006 and ventura and bachrach 2000 for greater detail on how marital status is measured in the vital statistics . )\n2 we also used the hotdeck method to impute missing fathers\u2019 ages . first , we stratified the birth certificate data by calendar year , mother\u2019s age , and father\u2019s race . then , for each stratum ( e . g . , births to black fathers and 18 - year - old mothers in 1980 ) , we randomly selected ( with replacement ) ages of fathers reported on birth certificates to fill in the father\u2019s age when it is missing . this alternative method of imputation produced estimates of the number of births to men that are remarkably close to those based on multivariate imputation .\n3 to develop comparable measures of race for data from years 2000 and beyond , we bridged the responses of those who reported more than one race to a single race using the largest group bridging method ( nchs 2004 ) .\naughinbaugh a , gardecki rm . attrition in the national longitudinal survey of youth 1997 . 2008 . working paper .\nbachrach c . taking stock : do surveys of men\u2019s fertility deliver ? in : hofferth s , casper l , editors .\nin federal interagency forum on child and family statistics , nurturing fatherhood : improving data and research on male fertility , family formation and fatherhood .\nu . s . printing office ; washington d . c . : 1998 . report of the working group on male fertility and family formation .\nu . s . census bureau ; washington , dc : 1996 .

foot - long deck would be turned over to parking and the rest would be transformed into a more open , inviting park .\nhowever , if planners find that 18 - wheel trucks have trouble maneuvering the sharp turns of the current design , they have a backup plan that would add only about 32 spaces to the square\u2019s center , just eight fewer than their preference . if adopted , officials would then construct a small sliver of green space to separate adams street from the new parking lot , according to the design .\nbrighton is similar to neighboring allston , but with a little less activity . the neighborhood , which is primarily populated by graduate students , young professionals and families , consists of an intricate network of streets lined with houses and small apartment buildings . local family businesses mix with national chains of pharmacies and banks along brighton ' s washington street , which runs straight through brighton center to oak square .\nyou ' ll conveniently find us on state highway one , at the kink in the road in milton with heaps of parking right outside , quality fresh produce , freshly baked goods and food to go . whether it ' s to grab a couple of things or do your weekly shop you ' ll find everything you need from your local supermarket . we don ' t have what you ' re looking for ? just ask , we will try and get it .\nthe newest city in britain faces an ironic question in middle age : can its futuristic character be saved by the heritage industry ? \u201cmilton keynes is truly a garden city . the city\u2019s landscape is the gift that keeps on giving , \u201d lee shostak told me . \u201cbut we don\u2019t need to apply the giant machinery of the conservation industry to protect the essence of it . to do so could strangle the city . \u201d some of its architects are not so sure .\non a fine spring day , i left the m1 at junction 14 and followed the broad dual -

[ 13 ]\nunlike geach , searle does not set out to show how ' good ' can mean the same in all the various constructions in which it can occur . however , he tries to do that for one special word and thereby , quite unintentionally , shows one way that ascriptivism might solve the challenge he has made to it .\ni committed myself , and ascriptivism , to the following claim : contrary to geach , the argument form ' if that is good ( i . e commendable ) , then p ; but that is good ( a commendation ) ; ergo p ' is valid , does not contain a fallacy of equivocation . that needs defense .\nwhile geach ' s objections to the ascriptivist pattern are vital to today ' s definist tradition , the definist overlooks his contributions to the discussion in his influential ' good and evil ' . although the main target there is again ascriptivism , his arguments entail a powerful criticism of attempts to give a definition of ' good ' .\nwhile the standard criticisms of the ascriptivist contention - that a reference to commending is a central feature of the meaning of ' good ' - do not succeed , nonetheless the ascriptivist view is not the default position and does not automatically succeed when criticism of it fails . more needs to be said in both explanation and defense of ascriptivism .\n1 . the relevant writings are : peter geach , ' ascriptivism ' , logic matters ( blackwell , 1972 ) , pp . 250 - 254 , originally published in philosophical review 69 ( 1960 ) , pp . 221 - 225 ; geach , ' assertion ' , logic matters , pp . 254 - 269 , originally published in philosophical review 74 ( 1965 ) , pp . 449 - 465 ; john searle , speech acts , ( cambridge university press , 1969 ) , pp . 136 - 141 ; ( see p . 70 of speech acts for a reference to ' ascriptivism ' . ) a related earlier paper , largely overlooked in these discussions , is geach , ' good and evil ' , theories of ethics ( oxford readings in philosophy ) , ed . philippa foot , ( oxford university press , 1967 ) , pp . 64\u201373 , originally published in analysis 17 ( 1956 ) , pp . 33 - 42 . to save time and space i shall refer to page numbers of those works in the body of the text , citing item and page , e . g . ( ' ascriptivism ' , p . 254 . )\nthe critics , geach , searle and their heirs , direct their specific objections to item ( 4 ) , the idea that whatever is done in saying ' that is t ' must be involved in the meaning of t . the earlier steps in the pattern , especially the denial that the term in question is the name of a property , are typically ignored by critics of ascriptivism .\nthe upshot is that geach ' s criticism of the ascriptivist position about ' good ' in particular and about the pattern generally is misguided . and since it is that criticism that has seemed to be so powerful , to deal a death blow to any attempt to indulge in ascriptivist analyses , it follows that there is no case to be made from the geach - searle perspective against ascriptivism .\nsince i have claimed that an up - to - date ascriptivism about ' good ' requires that goodness not be a property and that the possibility of defining it requires that it be a property , that is , that goodness be identical with a property whose basic designation is something other than ' good ' , ascriptivism must defend the moorean conclusion . on the other hand , obviously , given the direction of philosophical thought since moore one cannot accept the open - question argument as constituting the only line of defense of that conclusion . that it does seemingly always make sense to wonder whether the supposed defining property and goodness are the same , whether ' p ' and ' good ' mean the same , the open question argument can be no more than one item in support of moore ' s conclusion .\nsince the definist has not addressed the issue i cannot predict what they might do by way of response . however , the current ascriptivist position is that , until something is produced by way of response to the challenge , something that is worthy of serious thought , then ascriptivism holds the field . for that reason and for all the other considerations offered above , we should reject the idea that ' good ' refers to a property and can be defined in terms of that property .\nhowever , can we really explain what it is to call something good by noting that ' is good ' is a predicate ? does that tell us whether ' good ' is a property being attributed to the thing or whether ascriptivism is correct in holding that in calling something good a non - descriptive claim is being made about the thing ? certainly not \u2013 the choice between those questions cannot be settled by simply noticing that ' good ' is a predicate in its uses in various constructions .\nnotice : in that account of the meaning of ' good ' , there is no distinction between two different kinds of meaning as there was in the early version of ascriptivism . the distinction between evaluative meaning and descriptive meaning vanishes , although involved in the meaning of ' good ' are both a reference to commendability and a requirement that features of the kind of thing in question must be cited in justifying a claim to its goodness . the old disputes about two kinds of meaning and which has precedence simply disappear .\nstrictly the argument here will focus on the analysis of ' good ' . ( in doing that i am not even committed to holding that all the other mid - century cases are in fact correct . ) occasionally i shall make some reference to ' true ' but only as a reminder that the argument is intended to have wider application than to a single concept . the reasons for selecting ' good ' as the test case is that it is central to the criticism in both geach ( though geach prefers to talk of ' bad ' ) and searle ; it is also the notion in contemporary thought that is most often and most vigorously the target of critics of ascriptivism .\nof course , searle is right about those non - equivalences . however , is his representation of what ascriptivism amounts to correct ? not at all : not even in the case where something is being called good . to produce his objection searle converts ' that is good ' wherever it occurs into ' i commend that ' . though his immediate targets , the mid - century ascriptivists , were confused about the relation between performatives and speech acts generally , it doesn ' t follow that the ascriptivist pattern itself must be confused about that . for the commendation performed by calling something good is not to be represented by paraphrasing ' that is good ' as ' i commend it ' .\nsetting aside the\nnecessarily\n( that shifts the meaning of what he intends ) , searle ' s test is ' a word is not changed in meaning by being located in different syntactical settings ' . searle ' s use of that test presumes that if ascriptivism were correct , ' good ' would change meaning in the syntactical change from ' that is good ' to ' if that is good ' . that is the reverse of the problem as i set it out above : there the assumption is that the word does mean the same and a problem thereby ensues . while there are serious troubles with searle ' s test \u2013 are we more certain that the test is correct than what we say about meaning in particular cases ? \u2013 let it stand since searle does make use of it .\nwe use cookies to enhance your experience on our website . by continuing to use our website , you are agreeing to our use of cookies . you can change your cookie settings at any time .\nprinted from oxford reference ( www . oxfordreference . com ) .

[ 6 ] ( 1 ) some\nphilosophically exciting term t ( ' assertion ' , p . 266 ) is denied , contrary to the philosophical tradtion , to be the name of a property , feature , attribute ; ( 2 ) hence , calling something t is not a report that the thing has the property t , is not a description of the thing ; ( 3 ) calling something t , saying ' that is t ' , must therefore be doing something other than reporting or describing ; ( 4 ) whatever is thereby done is an important part of the meaning of t .\nbefore getting down to work , there are a few necessary program notes . searle speaks of the\nclassical speech act analysts\n. since the 1950 ' s are only jarringly thought of as a classical period , i shall speak of the mid - ( 20th ) - century analysts . in doing so , i shall be retaining the idea of analysis although what was being done mid - century does not fit what g . e . moore or russell , the founders of analytic philosophy , would have thought of as analysis . analysis , an account of meaning , as understood both by searle and here , will have more in common with ryle ' s notion of logical geography and strawson ' s connective analysis . [ 7 ]\nit will not be part of my project to explain and defend by name and citation those practitioners of mid - century analysis who were engaged in the ascriptivist pattern of thinking . i shall be referring only to the pattern without detailed concern for particular figures in its development and use .\nthe ascriptivist pattern as i set it out earlier can now be exhibited in terms of ' good ' . ( 1 ) ' good ' is , contrary to the traditional view , not the name of , does not refer to , a property , attribute , character , feature , of a thing ; ( 2 ) hence to call something good is not to report that it has the property of goodness , is not to describe the thing ; ( 3 ) what we are doing when we call something good is commending it ; ( 4 ) the notion of commendation is central to the meaning of ' good ' .\nthe rules of the game having been set out , it is time for the substance . the core of the critics ' position is a problem and a challenge . the problem : the ascriptivist pattern of analysis holds that ' that is good ' is , by meaning , a commendation ; but obviously when that same phrase is located in ' if ' clause there is no commendation ; yet ' good ' means the same in both constructions . the challenge : how is that possible ?\ngeach and searle and those who make the consequent semantics - pragmatics distinction agree that it is not possible \u2013 and hence hold that the commending cannot be involved in the meaning of ' good ' and must be allocated to some other feature of language than its semantics . on the other hand , whoever defends the pattern must show how it is possible that the word means the same in the different constructions and yet in only one of them does commendation occur . my complaint against the mid - century analysts is that they did not so much as attempt to show how that is possible . i shall be required to rectify that shortcoming in reviving the position .\nsearle introduces a test for the success of any analysis , for any account of the meaning of a term .\nnow , there is a condition of adequacy which any analysis of the meaning of a word must meet . . . . any analysis of the meaning of a word ( or morpheme ) must be consistent with the fact that the same word ( or morpheme ) can mean the same thing in all the grammatically different kinds of sentences in which it can occur . syntactic transformations of sentences do not necessarily enforce changes of meaning on the component words or morphemes of those sentences .\n( speech acts , p . 137 )\ngiven the problem situation , ( 1 ) what are the considerations offered by geach and searle to show that the ascriptivist pattern fails and ( 2 ) what efforts do they make to show that some other analysis , some other account of meaning , can succeed where the pattern fails ? both questions raise matters that are involved in updating the pattern . for reasons having to do with the aims of this paper , let me begin with the second question , an issue that may not seem the best place to start but pursuit of which reveals important matters .\nbefore going further it is necessary to issue a warning . philosophical understanding of what it means to say that something is a predicate typically goes astray . historically , ' is a predicate ' has usually been treated as meaning ' names a property ' . so we find for instance , c . j . f . williams saying ( in connection with ' is true ' ) that\nour main concern in this chapter is with whether ' - is true ' can properly be regarded as a predicate .\n[ 9 ] to which the proper answer is ' of course it is a predicate \u2013 look up what a predicate is in any grammar book ' . but equally certainly what williams is doing is conflating , not idiosyncratically , ' predicate ' with ' name of a property ' . the question he is worrying about is whether ' true ' is the name of a property . ( his entire chapter illustrates over and over that conflation , even in connection with ' is good ' . )\nfor reasons that will emerge much later , i shall take it that when geach speaks of predication he must be treating ' predicate ' as a purely grammatical notion , not accepting the typical assumption that treats a predicate as ( necessarily ) a name for a property . and grammatically speaking he is quite correct : ' is good ' appears as a predicate in all the grammatical constructions .\ngeach is surely partly right : any full ( ? ) philosophical account of the meaning of ' good ' must notice that it is essentially a predicate\u2013 that we can say ' that is a good peach ' or ' the peach is good ' but cannot say ' that is a peach good ' or ' the good is peach ' . so any attempt to explain its meaning by a simple ' it is used to commend ' cannot be the full story of our understanding of what goodness is , of how ' good ' functions . on the other hand , geach ' s replacement explanation captures only part of the truth .\nincidentally , nothing of geach ' s attempt to set out the meaning of the ' good ' across constructions survives into his second paper on the issues , the paper entitled ' assertion ' . perhaps he recognized its troubles .\nunlike the case of ' good ' , searle needs to defend the possibility of meaning the same across all constructions for ' promise ' ( and for all the performatives . ) how does he show that ' promise ' passes the test , that it is possible for ' promise ' to mean the same in all the constructions whether or not a promise is being made ? his solution :\nfor example , when one says something of the form , ' if he promises that p , then so and so ' , one hypothesizes the performance of the act which he performs when he says something of the form , ' i promise that p ' .\n( speech acts , p . 138 )\nthat completely fails to do the job of distinguishing between ' promise ' and ' good ' as he intends it to do . for the ascriptivist can say ' when one says something of the form\nif the cake is good , then so and so\n, one hypothesizes the performance of the act performed when someone says something of the form\nthat is good\n. ' and so on through the various grammatical constructions .\ndoes not searle thereby provide what was missing from the mid - century analyses , namely how to account for the sameness of meaning across all the constructions in which ' good ' can occur ? his attempt to show how ' promise ' means the same across the board has the same starting place as the standard ascriptivist position : that what is done in calling something t is the foundation for understanding the meaning of ' t ' where ever it occurs . contrary to geach , not all the constructions containing ' t ' are of equal importance in setting out the meaning of the term .\nin doing that , the place to begin is by deferring geach ' s arguments and looking into searle first . in attempting to show that speech act analyses of words other than performatives are fallacious , searle offers the following argument :\nbut it is equally clear that the speech act analysis of the other words ; ' good ' , ' true ' , . . . etc . does not satisfy this condition [ of adequacy ] . consider the following examples : ' if this is good , then we ought to buy it ' , is not equivalent to ' if i commend this , then we ought to buy it ' . ' this used to be good ' is not equivalent to ' i used to commend this ' .\ni wonder whether this is good ' is not equivalent to ' i wonder whether i commend this ' , etc . similar counter - examples will refute the [ other ] speech act analyses .\n( speech acts , pp . 138 - 139 )\ncalling something good stands in contrast to talking about one ' s own response to the thing . the point of saying ' that is good ' is to get outside of oneself , to direct attention to the thing and its qualities rather than to oneself and one ' s response to it . both searle and the mid - century emotivists ( ayer , stevenson ) fail to notice that contrast when they assimilate ' that is good ' to ' i commend it ' or to ' i like it ' . that failure shows up explicitly when searle tries to paraphrase one of the other constructions , ' i wonder if that is good ' , as ' i wonder whether i commend that ' . searle takes that lack of equivalence to show that calling something good cannot involve commending . however , it should be taken to show that he misunderstands how the act of commending is related to the use of the word ' good ' .\nfor the ascriptivist the commendation is built into the act of calling something good and the aim in calling something good is not to talk about one ' s self but rather to be referring to the thing . to wonder whether something is good is to be wondering whether the thing is commendable and not to be considering whether i have commended it .\nthat realization supplies the clue as to how we should regard the disputed relation between the meaning of ' good ' in ' that is good ' and its meaning in its other possible occurrences , how the ascriptivist is to reply to the original challenge . when we say ' if that is good , then . . . ' we are saying ' if that is commendable , then . . . ' similarly , for the other constructions ( e . g . ' that used to be good ' means ' that used to be commendable ' ) . it is possible to have ' good ' mean the same in ' that is good ' and ' if that is good ' while being a commendation in one and not in the other : it is the notion of commendability that binds them together .\nalexander miller in utilizing geach ' s objection holds that the ascriptivist position on the matter is comparable to ' my beer has a head on it ; if something has a head on it , it must have eyes and ears ; hence my beer has eyes and ears ' . [ 10 ]\nthe relevant comparison is more like this argument : ' if the pipe breaks , the room will be flooded ; the pipe broke ; hence the room is flooded ' . or ' if the pipe breaks , the room will be flooded ; the pipe is breaking ; hence the room is being flooded ' . or ' if the pipe were to break , the room would be flooded ; it did break ; hence the room is flooded ' . all of those arguments , despite the small changes in wording , are valid \u2013 because all the terms are part of the same families , exhibiting differences only in tenses .\nc . j . f . williams , speaking for logic , puts it this way .\nthe last example shows that we [ logicians ] need not be pernickety about what counts as a repetition of the same sentence . . . . sometimes repetition of exactly the same words is idiomatically impossible or clumsy in english . . . . english idiom does not allow us to say ' percy said that charles would grow out of his shyness and charles would grow out of his shyness .\nagain :\nbut logicians . . . are as much entitled to take ' percy said that charles would grow out of his shyness and charles has grown out of his shyness ' as a substitution instance of ' percy said that p and p ' as they are to take ' she thought that barbara ought to pay her ' as a substitution instance of ' x thought that barbara ought to pay x ' without boggling at the change of case from ' she ' to ' her ' .\n[ 11 ]\nonly if one is\npernickety\nabout sameness , only if one has extremely narrow ideas of what must be kept the same in argumentation , will one be inclined to regard the change from ' good ' as commending to ' good ' as commendable as a case of equivocation and thus the creation of an invalid argument . williams is right , logic is entitled to treat those arguments as valid \u2013 because they are valid and consequently their formal representation must treat them as valid . logicians , just as the rest of us , are entitled to reject geach ' s contention and accept the variation in terminology as legitimate when the terms are internally related , i . e . related in meaning , versions of the same concept .\nthe mid - century analysts did not attempt what needs to be done . for them it was a matter of insight that to understand ' good ' requires grasping its connection to commending . while insight in philosophy is not to be sneezed at ( although , with our heavy emphasis on argumentation , it typically is ) , nonetheless surely something can be said in favor of the claim over and above ' the criticism of it fails ' and ' don ' t you see ? ' .\nit has long been recognized that moore ' s self - named naturalistic fallacy is mis - named . others have pointed out that he should have called it the definist fallacy . he was denying that it is possible to define ' good ' . any such a definition is intended to be reductionist : the word ' good ' would be held to mean the same as a word / phrase where the defining term is the name of , stands for a property . goodness , on that view , is identical with that property , is nothing other than , over and above , that property . ascriptivists , then and now , accept the moorean thesis that ' good ' cannot be defined , i . e . that it is not equivalent in meaning to any term designating a property , even in the very broad sense of ' property ' intended , and that consequently goodness is not a property of things .\nso the outcome hinges on objections to defining ' good ' . if the definist project , and not just particular definitions , fails , then the idea that goodness is a property fails . moore , of course , came to the conclusion that ' good ' cannot be defined by employing the open - question argument : any attempt to define ' good ' fails because it will always make sense to ask ' it has the property p but is it good ? ' it is today widely accepted that the open - question argument does not do what moore assumed it did , namely provide a complete refutation of the idea that ' good ' can be defined . instead , it is merely the beginning of an extended and ramified discussion between supporters and opponents of the idea that ' good ' can be defined .\nstart here . although it is a clever move to have one ' s favored claim about some subject matter smuggled in as a matter of meaning , one must be suspicious about such definitions . why should not the ' definitions ' of ' good ' be regarded as substantial claims about what makes something , anything , good rather than as explications of the term ? there seems to be nothing in the definist literature addressing that question . it appears that the aim of the definist program , especially in its resurrected naturalistic ( scientistic ) form , is to get rid of , by reduction , a notion not amenable to scientific investigation .\nit is often said that goodness is a moral concept .\nmoore sets out to argue that moral terms such as ' good ' are not definable . . . .\n[ 14 ] but ' good ' is not a specifically moral term - it is applicable to items of many other kinds than to matters of morality . speaking of a good cigar or a good essay is as much relevant to the question of what ' that is good ' means , what its function is , as its reference to a person , action , etc . ( ' he is a good father ' , ' that was a good deed ' ) . in fact , given the recognition by oliver wendell holmes that hard cases make bad law , we can say that hard cases , matters of morality , make bad theses about meaning . to investigate the meaning of ' good ' we should chiefly concern ourselves with what it means to say , e . g . ' that is a good peach ' . however , the definitional enterprise does not do that . the great gap between the sorts of answers that that enterprise results in , whether naturalistic or theological , and what is going on when we consider whether a given peach is good produces deep suspicions about the legitimacy of the definist project .\nas is widely recognized , what turns up when we think about what counts as a good peach are its properties ( flavor , texture , etc . ) . but when we also consider what counts , for example , as a good shortstop and what makes for a good philosophical essay , we quickly realize that there is no overlap in the properties cited in all the various cases . since none of those good - making properties can plausibly be taken as contained in the meaning of the word ' good ' - it is applicable to so many different kinds of thing - but are rather what is mentioned in the differing judgments of goodness about different kinds of things , to cigars and essays and shortstops , it certainly seems that goodness cannot be understood in terms of specific defining properties .\nrecalling that to talk of ( say ) a good philosophical essay in ordinary practice makes reference to characteristics of the essay , a further difficulty for the definist enterprise comes out . how do those various attempted definitions of ' good ' relate to the properties cited in our ordinary judgments of the goodness of a cake or a piece of philosophy ? are they being recommended as replacements ? are they what ' good ' really means contrary to our practice ? are they generalizations of what we are talking about when we cite the juiciness of the peach and the argumentation of the philosophical essay ? is it simply not recognized by the definist that we do make reference to such properties when we call things good ? once again , the status of the results of definist projects are not spelled out in the literature .\ngeach notices that from ' that is a yellow rose ' we can infer ' that is yellow ' but that from ' that is a large flea ' we cannot infer ' that is large ' . he holds that ' good ' follows the pattern of ' large ' and not of ' yellow ' : from ' he is a good assassin ' we cannot infer ' he is good ' simpliciter . it does not follow , of course , that ' good ' is not a property word , for then we would be committed to ' large ' not being a property word either : and it clearly is . but what we can conclude is that goodness is relative to the kind of thing being characterized as good . that means that there is no such property as goodness independently of the applicability of ' good ' to various kinds of things . as we have seen , what makes this kind of thing good is not what makes that kind of thing good . there is no property generally definable as constituting goodness . there is no form of the good .\nthere is another possible wrinkle in the definist research program . recently , perhaps from the anxiety that the open - question argument cannot be completely dismissed , that the moorean insistence that ' good ' does not mean ' p ' is nothing but conceptual confusion , some of today ' s definers have attempted to employ a different model of definition . rather than holding that ' good ' means\np ' , they have resorted to frege ' s sinn and bedeutung distinction . on that view , ' good ' and ' p ' do not mean the same \u2013 rather ' good ' and ' p ' have different senses but they refer to ( name , stand for ) the same property . [ 15 ]\nthat ' good ' is referential , is a property word , is simply assumed there as it was when the other version of definition was employed . the battery of arguments above to show that it is not the name of a property are not recognized . in consequence , the resort to the fregean model will not do to save the definist position .\nmoreover , because the good - making characteristics of a kind of thing are tied to the kind of thing it is , and are not a character applicable across the board which is attached to the word ' good ' , are not part of the meaning of ' good ' , there is no single mode of presentation for ' good ' , no sinn for ' good ' . hence ' good ' is a word with neither a sinn nor a bedeutung .\nhaving now disposed of the traditional alternative to the thesis that commending is a central feature of the meaning of ' good ' , the time has come to take up the task of defending that thesis . i am simply ignoring another alternative , one that was also the off - spring of moore ' s anti - definist views , namely emotivism . the objections to that position are too powerful to take it seriously at this date .\nlet us return to geach ' s ' good and evil ' . the non - validity of the inference from ' she is a good player ' to ' she is good ' reminds us that what makes some kind of thing good varies radically from kind to kind and that there are no good - making characteristics that are applicable to everything that is good . geach is tempted by that fact to say that ' good ' has no meaning other than in ' a good k ' . but of course that isn ' t so . if it were , there would be no intelligibility in the fact that we use the same word ' good ' in connection with oranges , designs , helicopters and on and on . moreover , the word ' good ' would be enormously equivocal \u2013 and it is not .\ngeach , although tempted to talk as if ' good ' does not mean anything independently of its connection to kinds , realizes that won ' t work , no doubt for the above reasons . but if ' good ' means the same across kinds of thing , the problem of what that common meaning is rears its head . it would appear that here is where the ascriptivist idea that commending is central to the meaning of the term finds a place .\nthe line between semantics and pragmatics , where it is taken that a reference to deeds cannot be part of the meaning of a term , hangs on the geach - searle criticism . seeing that that criticism does not succeed means that the sharp line between meaning and what we do with words cannot be maintained . although some aspects of the use of a word may not fall into its meaning , some references to what we are doing must be located there . as wittgenstein was fond of saying in light of faust ' in the beginning was the deed ' .\n2 . alexander miller , an introduction to contemporary metaethics , ( polity press , 2003 ) .\n4 . h . l . a . hart , ' the ascription of responsibility and rights ' , proceedings of the aristotelian society new series , vol 49 ( 1948 - 49 ) , pp . 171 - 194 ; reprinted in anthony flew ed . , logic and language , 1st series , ( blackwell , 1951 ) .\n5 . c . j . f . williams , what is truth ? , ( cambridge university press , 1976 , reprinted 2009 ) , p . 16 .\n7 . ryle introduced the notion of logical geography as a replacement notion for the older idea that analysis was like chemical analysis , a breaking down of a substance into its ultimate parts . gilbert ryle , the concept of mind , ( hutchinson ' s university library , 1949 ) , p . 7 . strawson talks of connective analysis as a better way of conceiving of the activity of analysis than the old reductive version or ryle ' s logical geography or wittgenstein ' s therapeutic analogy . peter strawson , analysis and metaphysics , ( oxford university press , 1992 ) , chapter 2 .\n12 . in treating intuition as a faculty , i am taking sides in a dispute concerning how to conceive of what moore meant by ' intuition ' . pursuing the dispute here would be too large a side - show .\n13 . miller does not consider any other objections to giving a definition of ' good ' than the open question argument . the additional objections that i offer are not recognized and so not evaluated .\n16 . robert arrington , rationalism , realism , and relativism : perspectives in contemporary moral epistemology , ( cornell university press , 1989 ) , p . 56 .\nto report problems or comments with this site , please contact mcalarco @ urltoken . \u00a9 california state university , fullerton . all rights reserved .\ncsuf is committed to ensuring equal accessibility to our users . let us know about any accessibility problems you encounter using this website . we ' ll do our best to improve things and get you the information you need .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 strict / / en\nurltoken"]}

person unit at anthro ' s philadelphia headquarters develops a concept that then trickles down to the store level . local store display teams can interpret the concept however they choose , so long as they get the final stamp of approval from philly .\nretailers think catalogues are consumed by customers looking through them and deciding what they like and don ' t like ,\nferrier adds .\nbut catalogues are more used to create the brand ' s vibe . anthropologie ' s consumer is quite strange and aspirational . the brand comes to life in this type of catalogue and lets the customer discover .\n. \u201cthe mainstream culture focuses on what you have . recently , what you do has become more important . we wanted to respond to the shift toward \u2018who you are . \u2019\u201d anthropologie stores would also spark something transformational , he said , \u201cwhere the visitor ' s imagination was just as important as that of the designer . \u201d they ' d also be interactive :\nmeanwhile , anthropologie also appears to be having success in getting its tentacles into new categories . its beauty division saw a \u201cdouble digit\u201d increase in comparable sales in the quarter , and its home category also continued to have momentum . its bridal concept , bhldn , continues to grow . that diversification of its offering could insulate it somewhat in the future from fashion fumbles .\ncompared to any other significant retailer , the women who shop at anthropolgie are extremely devoted and loyal to the brand . and while there\u2019s a range of factors that foster this obsession , the root cause is that anthropologie does not merely look to artists with the intent of extrapolating an artistic identity . but the people of anthropologie listen to artists and dialogue with them . hoey summarized , \u201cthere\u2019s a secret behind the products : the vast majority have stories behind them . it comes from authentic relationships with our internal design team , as well as artists and designers , in the world . the products we end up with end up becoming something no one has seen before . we spend a lot of time inventing things creatively . \u201d urltoken\nurban outfitters was the first brand of the urbn portfolio to cross the atlantic in 1998 , opening a store on kensington high in london . eleven years later , anthropologie followed , opening a store on regent street , ( also in london ) that spans 11 , 000 square feet across three floors . soon after , the brand opened another location nearby on kings road .\nthe debut collaborators include karen walker , gregory parkinson , john patrick , samantha pleet and some lesser known names like charlotte linton , pipit , rachel rose and british brand place nationale , for whom this will be a first foray into the north american market . they & apos ; re anthropologie price points , so most dresses are in the $ 120 -

( that\u2019s how social media works . )\nmeg hayne created urban outfitters private label division , which supported product exclusive to urban outfitters . demand was almost immediate and to meet this overwhelming need , she and dick decided to create a wholesale line . it was well - received , so much so that dick separated the businesses . for a while , the line took on many personalities : bulldog , ecote , cooperative , anthropologie and then in 1984 a new life was breathed into the name free people .\nfor anthropologie , the duo created exclusive candle tapers , handmade from antique pieces of porcelain , tin , and glass . the piece will be featured in an upcoming december catalog . it\u2019s a perfect example of the competitive advantage johnson described when he said , \u201ci do think that we are not really thinking about making huge quantities of things . we may only find a few hundred customers for certain items . but those are the items that get us really excited . \u201d\nthe patch nyc for anthropologie collaboration presented an opportunity to explore a range of home product categories including pillows , wallpaper , journals , ceramic mugs and dishes . john designed the grand game wallpaper pattern and the cover art for leather bound journals using don ' s original ink drawings . ceramic plates were made using new chevron art by don while john\u2019s block print collages were transferred onto fabric for embroidered pillows and the pairs work in hand - built ceramics was re - interpreted into oversized ceramic mugs .\nthe journal anthropologie was founded by jind\u0159ich matiegka ( left picture ) , who was professor of anthropology at charles university in prague , on the suggestion of and with financial support from dr . ale\u0161 hrdli\u010dka ( right picture ) in 1923 . dr . matiegka strongly focused on publishing evolutionary topics written by a broad spectrum of scientists from across the world . he especially welcomed interdisciplinary papers from both the natural and social sciences , and had edited 19 volumes by 1941 , when nazi occupiers closed the university .\nare you wondering why these rocks made it into our roundup of beauty products ? well , look closer . they ' re soap rocks \u2014 and they smell just as good as they look . plus , they ' re made with a soothing blend of aloe vera , chamomile , and almond oil , which makes them gentle and hydrating on the skin , despite their appearance ( not that we ' d ever dare to use them ) . molton geo soaprock , $ 12 , available at anthropologie .\nanthropologie ' s windows can take up to a week to create , and each store is given a budget of less than $ 5 , 000 to work with . display coordinators will reuse wood from previous seasons , while buying things like sequins , paint , and ribbons , to build individual pieces from scratch . while it might be easier to buy items like fake birds and flowers from craft stores rather than making them by hand , gallenstein says the budget fits with the brand ' s overall vision .\nthe millennium brought with it a new shopping experience , one that wasn ' t a physical location . in 1998 , anthropologie released its first catalog with circulation more than doubling before the end of the year . in august of that same year , urltoken was established . site visits and online orders were well above initial expectations , which fueled investments in future e - commerce efforts . it wasn ' t long before our other brands opened a web store - urban outfitters in 2000 and free people in 2004 .\njohnson also pointed out that each of the 160 anthropologie stores is able to customize the location\u2019s visual presentations . there\u2019s no formal set guide to ensure brand consistency for all products . and there\u2019s no cooperate - style localization initiative , such as with macy\u2019s . instead , the consistency is through a dazzling variety of eclectic styles . individual stores are empowered to shape direction based on the local clientele . so while the mood or products might be the same in dallas or chicago , the actual experience can vary dramatically .\nin a release , anthropologie says made in kind will function as a gallery\nhousing multiple exhibitions per month , each dedicated to a single designer or concept .\nthere will also be editorial content to go along with the collaborations . additionally , select items will be available in stores and through the catalog . click through to see our favorite pieces from the new site , which you can shop this thursday . treasure by samantha pleet is shaping up to be our favorite , but they & apos ;

alex\u2019s lemonade stand ; the barnes foundation ; big brothers , big sisters ; donorschoose . org ; the girl scouts ; pspca ; and the vetri foundation for children , among others . together we have hosted hundreds of charitable events in our stores , with the goal of spreading goodwill within the communities where we live , work and play .\nthe sundance channel\u2019s man shops globe followed keith johnson as he traveled the world looking for one - of - a - kind items to furnish and sell in stores , and objects that could be used to inspire collections . ( he traveled so much that his passport had 72 extra pages . ) johnston told fast company that , beyond quality , the perfect anthropologie find \u201chas to have a lot of personality . it has to be homey . maybe it has a sense of humor . it has to have a little quirk . people respond to fun\u2014a little whimsy goes a long way . \u201d man shops globe ran for two seasons .\ntake holiday 2014\u2019s ladies , aurora , silver , and quinn . \u201cthe aurora concept is a holiday girl , so she has a lot of party dresses with shimmer and shine , \u201d jill gallenstein , anthropologie ' s eastern regional display manager , told racked . \u201csilver . . . is more of a ranch girl . her color palette is much more about sunset tones , a lot of layering , heavier sweaters , a lot of capes . then quinn . . . she ' s more of a city girl . she ' s a little bit more pulled together , buttoned - up , so a little desk - to - dinner wear . \u201d\nanthropologie leases rather than buys its spaces , and often chooses interesting and historic buildings over the mall , using each space\u2019s quirks in the design of the store . \u201cour visual philosophy is to make the store feel as if it ' s a one - off , to feel like it ' s the only one , \u201d former executive creative director kristen norris told the san francisco chronicle in 2004 . \u201cwe capitalize on existing architectural elements . all of the stores have a similarity to them , but none are exactly the same \u2026 we want each store to have a unique personality and cater to the customer . the customer in miami is not the customer in seattle . \u201d\non valentine\u2019s day 2011 , we entered into the world of bridal with the launch of bhldn , offering brides - to - be a carefully edited assortment of wedding gowns , bridal party dresses , accessories , gifts and d\u00e9cor that caters to the bride in search of unusually beautiful things . starting out online only , bhldn opened its first free - standing location in houston , texas , in august 2011 . since then , the brand has expanded , opening another brick - and - mortar location in chicago and several shop - in - shops in anthropologie locations . in addition , bhldn now offers one - on - one styling services so that brides can create an event brimming with unique flair and personality .\nthe girls and their narratives make it easy to maintain a uniform concept from store to store\u2014and it ' s also pretty fun . what did quinn study in school ? what books does aurora read ? these are the kinds of things store teams get to learn and interpret . and with aesthetic concepts that are purposely vague (\nshe likes to play with color ,\nher clothes have a lot of asymmetry\n) , they have a fair amount of creative freedom . these concepts are also meant to apply to all ages , which explains anthropologie ' s wide range in terms of customer age . looking around the store this particular afternoon , i see high schoolers , middle - aged professionals , and grandmothers browsing the exact same items .\nto walk into an anthropologie store is to experience another state of consciousness . you ' ve never been the type to own a peruvian - style poncho , and yet , once you spot one artfully displayed on a mannequin , you suddenly imagine yourself swaddled in it while frolicking with alpacas on a hazy hilltop . you don ' t typically purchase girly kitchen gear , but one look at the brand ' s collection of ruffled aprons , whimsical doorknobs , and mismatched teacups inspires fantasies that involve conquering martha stewart baking projects on your next day off . and while you might fancy a fun accessory here or there , anthro ' s enticing selection of floppy hats , tassel necklaces , and jeweled barrettes means you ' re probably going to drop way more money than you ' d ever normally intend .\nreese ' s line includes six brightly colored party dresses , perfect for the impending party season . like the timo weiland boys , reese found it easy to fuse her own label ' s aesthetic with anthropologie ' s .\nit ' s sort of a natural match . i think that our customer has so much in common , it ' s like almost the same girl ,\nshe said .\ni feel like the customer here , silhouette wise , loves a little fit and flare dress \u2014 so do i . we ' re girls ! not just girlie girls , but people who embrace color , are playful . . . not so sober and overly serious . i think that we share a certain spirit .\nclick over to lucky to shop . to see everything , visit urltoken\nconsider , for example , a prevailing trend for collaboration in retail : the famous guest designer program\u2014think karl lagerfeld for h & m or macy\u2019s , target\u2019s collaborations with missoni and jason wu , or uniqlo\u2019s guest designer program with the likes of jil sander and opening ceremony . anthropologie\u2019s approach stands in marked contrast to these models . the method is dictated , in part , by johnson . he curates seasonal gallery shows with small groups of artists . the items could be principally fine arts , such as paintings , small crafts or sculpture ; or he might select more functional goods like chairs or bowls . those works then migrate or inform products in the actual stores . it could mean a sketch or drawing ends up on dinner plates or stationary , or a handmade line of furniture finds a larger audience .\ncohesiveness comes from the layout and organization of each store , which is meant to mimic a private home . the store\u2019s team creates a series of themed \u201c vignettes \u201d\u2014a bedroom or bathroom , for example\u2014that put anthropologie\u2019s merchandise into context . at the front of the store is typically a garden or outdoor entertaining vignette , then dining and kitchen areas , followed by bath and bed . each area tells a story for the customer to explore and discover , and following the movements of going through a home - like layout will help her to \u201cdecompress , as you do in your own home , \u201d norris told the san francisco chronicle . the overall effect , norris said , is that \u201cby the time you get to the back of the store , you ' re as relaxed as you would be by the time you get to bed . \u201d\nin 1971 , wick and hayne got divorced , and belair graduated from wharton and moved on to a wall street career , leaving the free people ' s shop behind . but hayne stayed with the business , and in 1975 , he relocated to a bigger space and changed the store ' s name to urban outfitters , partially in response to the end of the vietnam war . \u201c [ the war ] had been incredibly divisive , and there was just this amazing change of mood , \u201d he told philadelphia weekly . \u201cthe name \u2018free people\u2019 had some political connotations , and they were growing tired . . . it happened to be the time when we were just putting together the deal to move to a much larger space and felt that , in conjunction with that , we should change our name . \u201d later , hayne would bring back free people , and create anthropologie , under the urban outfitters , inc . umbrella .\nour story ours is a tale of our customer . and how listening\u2014really , truly listening\u2014does right by her : then , now and evermore .\nour product offering consists of women\u2019s apparel and accessories , intimates , home furniture and d\u00e9cor , beauty and gifts . each caters to the lifestyle of our five muses : soft and delicate ; boho chic ; easy cool ; elegant classic ; and modern sporty . request a catalog here .\nand compensation values are for the last fiscal year ending on that date . pay is salary , bonuses , etc . exercised is the value of options exercised during the fiscal year . currency in usd .\nthe pillar scores are audit : 1 ; board : 8 ; shareholder rights : 1 ; compensation : 7 .\nscores indicate decile rank relative to index or region . a decile score of 1 indicates lower governance risk , while a 10 indicates higher governance risk .\nthe year was 1970 . dick hayne was just 23 years old when he and college roommate scott belair came up with the idea to open a retail store . belair was in search of a topic for an entrepreneurial class he was taking at the time . the first store , originally called free people , was located in a small space across the street from the university of pennsylvania . its mission was to provide second - hand clothing , furniture , jewelry and home d\u00e9cor for college - aged customers in a casual fun environment .\nsince the first store opened in west philadelphia we continually strive to connect with our customers through unique products and engaging store design . instead of transforming buildings into something new , we preserve their original features , a trait that has become our signature look . we strip back paint to its first layer , expose brick walls , and use original pieces as displays and fixtures . our approach goes beyond historical preservation \u2013 it\u2019s about maintaining a layered history , but infusing a new , fresh atmosphere ."]}

digit led display , it suffered from technical flaws related with the design of the case , the chip , the battery and accuracy . not only was the watch unreliable , radionics was not able to fulfil the orders it had taken . as a result , radionics made its first loss in the financial year april 1974 - april 1975 . the black watch fiasco had a devastating effect on sinclair ' s finances and the company would have gone bankrupt had not the government , through the\nfrom october 1964 to april 1975 i was working for sinclair radionics : this was the time that clive sinclair was into hi -

sinclair ' s government backers - finally got fed up and pulled the plug on the company . sinclair received a \u00a310 , 000\ngolden handshake\nand set up science of cambridge instead . the rights to the tv1b were sold to binatone , but the product was soon dropped .\napril 1974 -

designed for sinclair radionics . in hindsight , the tv1a was a notable departure for the company , which hitherto had depended on adapting existing components ; now it was developing its own hardware . this was a significant step forward , paving the way for the much more ambitious hardware development programmmes of the 1980s .\nsinclair research profits \u00a314 . 28m on turnover of \u00a377 . 69m , including \u00a3309 , 000 government grants .\n, which was smaller and considerably thinner than any other on the market . the vital statistics of the sinclair\nas many have already observed , sir clive sinclair was just way ahead of his time with the c5 .\nmaybe , like the sinclair c5 , clive was just ahead of his time with this often forgotten machine .\nin 1982 the sinclair zx spectrum was released , later becoming britain\u2019s best selling computer , competing aggressively against commodore and amstrad . unfortunately , sinclair had a misstep with its sinclair ql ( for quantum leap ) personal computer launched in 1984 . although the computer was hyped as being advanced for its time , and relatively cheap , it failed to sell , and production was suspended in 1985 . amstrad acquired sinclair\u2019s computer products lines in april 1986 .\n) documented the rise of the british home computer market . it focuses on the rivalry between sir clive sinclair and\nin 1966 , sinclair radionics developed the world ' s first portable television , the\nmicrovision\n, but never attempted to sell it because development costs would have been too high based on the complicated design the microvision used . in 1976 it was sold as a revised version , the\nmicrovision tv1a / mon1a\nat \u00a399 . 95 . supply exceeded demand , and 12 , 000 units were left unsold until they were sold off cheaply . this resulted in a \u00a3480 , 000 loss for sinclair . sir clive sinclair was certain that the tv1b model released in 1978 would be more successful , but sales were disappointing . the technology was sold to binatone .\nin 1965 the\nmicro -

held television was to consume an awful lot of time , effort , and money at sinclair radionics . it was not until ten years later , in 1976 , that the sinclair tv1a microvision was launched . although only a black & white model , it was revolutionary in being the first multi - standard receiver , working on vhf and uhf , and so could be used around the world . clive ' s ultimate idea was a flat screen tv and work continued on developing a near flat television tube .\nanother sinclair radionics product that was introduced in 1964 and failed was the first class d amplifier kit rated at 10 watt rms . a class d switching amplifier that was good in theory but sadly ahead of its time and available technology . the amplifier used low frequency germanium transistors as pulse width modulators and switches and wrongly relied on the loudspeaker ' s inductance to filter the class d signal into audio . most often this would short out the output transistors . when it did work the power level was far below 10 watts and sinclair ' s main advertising channel , wireless world magazine , was so deluged with complaints that it supposedly refused to take further advertisements from sinclair .\n6 nov -

the black watch , launched in september 1975 at \u00a317 . 95 in kit form and \u00a324 . 95 ready - built . its name was uncharacteristically descriptive by sinclair ' s usual standards - virtually every other sinclair product had an arbitrary , often made - up name or jumble of letters and numbers attached to it . in fact , it is actually a pun ; the original black watch was a famous scottish army unit .\nclive sinclair is getting his staff by advertising . already he has received several hundred replies from his recent campaign . he is looking for top -

sinclair oxford models . initially there were 3 models , the 100 , 200 , and 300 with led displays . later versions had vfd displays , and other oxford models followed .\nclive sinclair is an electronics genius and is noted for his miniature electronic products achieved by using very innovative designs . the first sinclair executive calculators used one of the standard calculator chips of the time , the texas instruments tms1802 . this normally has a current consumption of about 300 ma which dictates that normal aa size batteries , or larger , need to be used to give a decent battery life .\nin january 1985 , sinclair released the\nfm wristwatch radio\n, an lcd wristwatch with a radio attached . the aerial was built into the strap and the battery was hidden in the clasp , presumably in an attempt to balance out the considerable weight of the watch . the watch had several usage problems , and never went into full production , making it one of the rarest sinclair products .\nto cut down production costs , sinclair used these teeny tiny 7 - segment displays . these are great for power consumption and compactness but they are also really difficult to see . so , to get around this , sinclair had the brilliant idea of using small plastic lenses over each display to magnify the segments and make them appear larger than they really are . and what a difference they make !\nthe pocket calculator had been a great success for sinclair , but by the late 1970s the calculator line was starting to feel the effects of small , cheap , highly reliable calculators from japan . sinclair had also decided to stick with led and vfd displays , whereas japanese manufacturers were starting to shift to lcds ( liquid crystal displays ) , which had very low power consumption and batteries lasted for months .\ni ' ll describe each man ' s history separately up to the point of starting his ` incubator ' . after that i ' ll thread the two tales together . first , clive sinclair . .\nalthough combined watch - calculators became very popular , starting with led display models such as the pulsar and compuchron , only two models of pure wrist calculator are known , the sinclair and the quik check .\nbut mr . sinclair ' s highly individual style did not mix well with state capitalism . in 1979 , mr . sinclair left , with a $ 22 , 000 ' ' golden handshake , ' ' his design team , and his ideas . the n . e . b . wrote off the venture as a $ 17 million loss . the financial community watched , with a note of self - congratulation .\nsir clive sinclair and i go way back and i first fell for one of his famously optimistic advertising campaigns back in the late sixties when i attempted to build several of his matchbox sized micromatic transistor radios .\nan intel 8049 chip was used to control the rather limited sound output . unfortunately , we had to wait until 1985 and the spectrum 128k + for a proper sound chip to appear in a sinclair machine .\nunfortunately , the down side to this business model was soon discovered . if a new product was very attractive , so many orders were received that production was overwhelmed and there were long delays in sending them out . this was to be a recurring problem for sinclair , as also was poor quality control in the rush to meet orders . to mitigate this was the sinclair policy of exchanging faulty items immediately with no questions asked .\nadamson , i . , and kennedy , r . , ( 1996 )\nsinclair and the ' sunrise ' technology\n, harmondsworth , penguin books ltd . , isbn 0 - 14 - 008774 - 5 .\nsome sort of roof and side protection from the elements is essential . looking at the sinclair x1 ( which hasn ' t seen the light of day yet ) , something similar on the c5 would work well .\nfully working qls were not available until late summer ; complaints against sinclair regarding delays were upheld by the advertising standards authority in may of the year ( in 1982 it had upheld complaints about delays in shipping spectrums ) . especially severe were allegations that it was cashing cheques months before machines were shipped . the ql was nowhere near as successful as sinclair ' s earlier computers . in the autumn , sinclair were still publically predicting it would be a\nmillion seller\n, with 250 , 000 sold by the end of the year . ql production was suspended in february 1985 , and the price was halved by the end of the year .\nhowever , mr . sinclair promptly sold his house and his car ( a collector ' s rolls - royce ) , set up sinclair research and began production of the zx8o , an inexpensive , $ 199 . 95 microcomputer . he also managed to continue the government connection with a $ 1 million grant from the state - controlled national research and development corporation for development of the pocket television , in return for an undisclosed royalty .\ndescription : a sinclair cambridge electronic pocket calculator : the original four - function cambridge which carried out the four basic mathematical functions of addition , subtraction , multiplication and division . it is powered by 4 aaa batteries .\nthe pcb is made of a paper - based epoxy material ( fr2 ) and only has solder mask on copper . the sinclair logo can be seen on the bottom of the main pcb that holds the processor .\nsinclair ' s c5 electric tricycle , launched in 1985 was a very environmentally friendly electric vehicle . however , it was discontinued despite some 17 , 000 units sold , which compares well with many later electric vehicles .\nthe sinclair business philosophy was to research and design its products itself but to sub - contract manufacture . in this way it could respond quickly to market changes . however , this makes modification of the design tricky and quality control more difficult , which caused problems with the thousands of calculators now being exported , and being sold to non - hobbyists . in 1973 , sinclair set up its first quality control department to address this problem .\nthat may be rather too hasty a judgment . mr . sinclair is back , as head of sinclair research , maker of a highly successful line of microcomputers - and now he has what he hopes will be truly a first . it ' s pocket - sized television , a 6 - by - 4 - by - 1 - inch black - and - white model that weighs only a few ounces . again , he has government support . and this time , mr . sinclair vows he is not going to repeat past mistakes . ' ' we aim to be first in the market - and stay in the market , ' ' he said .\ncalculators are always taken for granted , especially in the age of smartphones . today we will look at a calculator from 1975 ( 40 years old ) which was one of clive sinclair ' s fantastic , innovative products !\nthe sinclair ql was announced on january 12 , 1984 , shortly before the apple macintosh actually went on sale . this was a new computer , to be aimed at the business market and costing \u00a3399 . however , at this point the final design had not yet been completed . shipping finally started in may , with 13 , 000 orders taken , but only a few hundred units delivered at first . because the initially supplied rom had proved insufficient , early machines were shipped with a\nkludge\nhanging out of the machine with additional rom space . your sinclair noted that it was\ndifficult to find a good word for sinclair research in the computer press\n.\n' ' the sinclair model has gadget appeal , ' ' said gavin embry , an electronics consultant . ' ' i have two , one to play with and one to take apart to see how it works . ' '\n' ' clive gets ideas so fast that sometimes he does the last thing he thinks up before he finishes with the first , ' ' explained one electronics expert who has watched mr . sinclair ' s roller - coaster career .\ndespite not achieving it\u2019s expected sales , the ql did make some progress into professional and home markets , selling 150 , 000 units . enough for several companies to pop up and support users who had plunged into the machine . however , it was no where near enough to save sinclair\u2019s fortunes , having already failed with the sinclair c5 and suffering the video game crash of \u201985 . out of this innovative misfortune , alan sugar\u2019s amstrad stepped up , and using purely capitalist driven skills , acquired sinclair in early 1986 , immediately abandoning the ql . fortunately the same companies who supported the machine beforehand , quickly stepped up to fill the void , including cst and dansoft , who created the thor line of compatible machines .\nfeatured on this page are two wrist calculators , the sinclair wrist calculator and the quik - check . wrist calculators are pure calculators for strapping to the wrist and should not be confused with calculator - watches which are combined watches and calculators .\n1988 - 1989 results : a loss of \u00a3183 , 015 on a turnover of just \u00a37 , 825 . by now the company employs only three people - sinclair himself , a sales and admin person and a research - and - development person .\nin 1974 sinclair produced a design for gillette , since the shaver manufacturer had decided to diversify into consumer electronics . the result was the gillette gpa calculator , which was sold for a short period before gillette reversed its decision on moving into calculators .\nalso unusually for sinclair , normally an unashamed populist , the tv1a was aimed initially at the business / exective market with a cost of $ 400 . weighing some 26 ounces , this made it - ounce for ounce - more costly than solid silver .\nthe sinclair oxford range comprised several models , with the early ones having led displays . later a change was made to the lower power consumption green vfds ( vacuum fluorescent displays ) , and the case was made more rounded as shown in the photograph below .\nthis was to be the pattern of sinclair ' s electronics business . the products were miniaturised and highly innovative ; the advertisements for them were large and eye - catching ; they were sold by mail order , generally as kits ; and they were competitively priced .\nn . m . rothschild & son place 400 , 000 shares ( 10 per cent of equity ) of sinclair research at \u00a334 each with financial institutions , valuing the company at \u00a3136m . clive now owns 85 per cent , gains \u00a313 . 6m as result of sale\nthe main project within sinclair research limited is a pedal bicycle dramatically lighter than any previously made . this uses lightweight composite materials to the almost complete exclusion of steel . development is well advanced and tooling will commence soon . we intend to launch the bike in 1992 ."]}

so it really kind of startled me when she approached me to do this , and as i began to work on it , i became completely absorbed . it was weird , it happened around december this time last year . we scrounged up rehearsal space , but that\u2019s big box , you just kind of do it however you can . but i remember the sessions and christine\u2019s willingness to go with what i was giving her to do and realizing her life really did depend on this in some way .\nwhat was interesting to me in working with christine on this piece , ( and we\u2019ve laughed about this quite a bit ) is that she\u2019s a lot more comfortable with the male characters . i have more of an affinity with the female characters ; characters that are more female or feminine . i remember trying to coax more femininity out of christine and her kind of squirming , \u201ci don\u2019t want to do this\u201d . i could just see it in her eyes . so it\u2019s an interesting thing for me ; to see what i gravitated toward , what she gravitated toward and that we both began lives as men but she went on and transitioned into being a woman . i think the funny thing , a transformative thing for me , was watching this woman who started life as a man , walk on stage . the big box light plot had a lot of side light which was great , so what you could see was not someone\u2019s face , but the outline of them . it was transformative just to look objectively at a human being and then watch them become what they really are .\n\u201c mariette pathy allen , good friend and photographer who lives in new york city , has captured many compelling images of transgender people in her books . \u201d\n\u201cthis is where i was re - born , in the welcoming environment of provincetown at the tip of cape cod , and among the loving and helpful people at the annual , weeklong , seminar - laden fantasia fair transgender event . \u201d\n\u201cthis ignorant , mocking and insensitive article about transgender people , written in 2013 and published in the observer in britain , shows why i feel the need to reach out and communicate . \u201d\nas an actor , i kept thinking if i portrayed enough men , different kinds of men ( especially tough men ) i would eventually cobble together a person i could be in real life . but it didn\u2019t work that way . i figured this out and i needed to do something else ; i needed to become a person .\ni eventually realized i was sad all the time and i just said , \u201cif i can\u2019t be happy for an hour or for even 10 minutes , how can i be happy for three seconds ? \u201d i tried to make myself happy and i did it by looking at flowers . i always loved flowers but i never allowed myself to actually have them because that was feminine and therefore , wrong . so i looked at flowers and i completely broke down ; it was an immense shattering experience . i didn\u2019t even have real flowers ; they were on a calendar or something . and that was where i started . and i remember after that i said , \u201cok that\u2019s 3 seconds . how can i be happy longer ? what can i do ? what can i buy with flowers ? \u201d because i was still a guy at that point , i was thinking , \u201ci can\u2019t go buy flowers , people will see ! \u201d so i decided to go to a store like k - mart and buy something with flowers on it . at the store , i see potholders with flowers and it took me 45 minutes to pick up them up . i would push the cart by and say , \u201coh there\u2019s flowers ! i shouldn\u2019t get the flowers\u2026 i should get these other ones because they\u2019re not as effeminate . \u201d and i pulled the cart back and forth , looking at them and finally , after about another half hour , i threw them in the cart and i quickly pushed the cart over to the automotive section and i threw in cans of oil and a wrench and all this guy stuff , so i could say , \u201coh , these potholders ? my wife wanted me to get potholders , she likes flowers , i wouldn\u2019t buy these flowers\u201d .\nand that was happening all the time , all the time , all the time , all the time , always checking ; \u201cwhat am i ? how am i standing ? what am i doing ? how do i look ? \u201d and it\u2019s exhausting . so that\u2019s where it started .\ni always liked the name chris . there are so many things to think about . it\u2019s been a whole life of constantly trying to monitor all my actions , all my moves , all my everything , and even now , i still do it because i don\u2019t have that history . i didn\u2019t have a girlhood . so i have to keep track of it because i can easily slip back into guy stuff and that\u2019s not particularly where i want to be ; it\u2019s not how i feel but it\u2019s just there . i learned it all . and i studied , i mean , i studied . you could say i took advanced courses in masculinity and studied men and sports and all that stuff . i built up this wall where nobody penetrated ; nobody could ever guess and nobody ever did . people were absolutely dumbfounded when i told them because i created a pretty seamless , impenetrable disguise . they were shocked ."]}

therefore the question did they ever change the gate numbers around in the 1970s when they remodeled the terminal interior ? actually i don ' t think they did , so do i believe me then , or do i believe me now ?\ndoctype html public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\na lone gunman has been arrested after hijacking a sudanese passenger jet and diverting it to n ' djamena , the capital of neighbouring chad .\nthe hijacker was carrying a machine gun , and a chadian government minister said he was seeking asylum in the uk .\nsudan accuses chad of backing rebel forces in the darfur region , while chad says sudan aids chadian rebel groups .\nrelations between the two counties have been poor for some time , and diplomatic relations were temporarily halted in 2006 .\nchad ' s infrastructure minister said the hijacker wanted political asylum in the uk to escape persecution in sudan .\nhe has been arrested and will answer for his actions . chad is not a sanctuary for terrorists\nwhen he eventually landed in chad , he asked for guarantees of his safety from the french embassy .\nhe has been arrested and will answer for his actions . chad is not a sanctuary for terrorists .\nthe plane took off in khartoum at about 0900 ( 0600 gmt ) and landed at about 1130 ( 0830 gmt ) .\nchadian security forces surrounded the plane at the airport as passengers were led to safety .\nthe bbc ' s jonah fisher in khartoum says no -

changin\u2019\u201d was a number 9 hit in the uk , riding the momentum created by a string of uk top - 10 albums in 1964 . dylan\u2019s success as a traditional folksinger in england helps explain why he met with such resistance from audiences during his 1966 tour of the uk . the electric guitars , keyboards , and drums were too much for those who had come to love the solo performer , and some booed while others walked out .\n: on the one hand , jim was the luckiest guy in show biz . he created a studio , and it attracted great musicians . but also , jim had the ear that determined when most of the records were finished . duck dunn thought the mg\u2019s were \u201cplaying our asses off , \u201d he told me , and he couldn\u2019t understand why jim was looking so glum in the control room . but they\u2019d keep playing until jim was in there dancing , and sure enough , those are the takes that we all know today . so jim set the standards and had the ears .\n1 ) dylan\u2019s first album was a commercial flop . discovered by legendary producer john hammond , dylan recorded his debut album for columbia records in 1962 . consisting mostly of covers and arrangements of traditional tunes , bob dylan sold so poorly that it was nicknamed \u201chammond\u2019s folly . \u201d columbia\u2019s mitch miller had reservations about dylan\u2019s voice , but the eastman school of music graduate and host of the popular sing along with mitch tv show remembered that dylan\u2019s album was not a financial disaster because it didn\u2019t cost much to record a folksinger . dylan says he realized right away that he had recorded the wrong songs : he should have performed his own music .\n: well , when jim has his ( first african - american group ) veltones early on , he ' s got to go to the black radio stations to promote it . al bell was a black disc jockey , and he remembers meeting jim there . al makes a name for himself on wlok and gets a job in an even bigger market in washington . a couple or three years pass , and stax is having hits . they are aware that their hits could be bigger if they had a promoter on staff , because they were relying on atlantic but they realized that atlantic promoted its own records first . al is the one they think of , and they have to draw him back to town .\n\u201cthe first ( document ) is a list of artists hand written for george harrison by beatles road manager neil aspinall , for atlanta wqxi dj , mr . paul drew . at the time in 1964 , mr . drew agreed to send mr . harrison many records from the u . s . a . that george had difficulty finding in england . the list included requests for 17 artists . on george\u2019s behalf , mr . aspinall used a blue ballpoint pen on this document . it is not known if mr . aspinall added any artists to this list for himself . the reverse of this document has the typed address and date along with neil\u2019s name . overall vg + + condition with some handling and proper aging ( note neil pen\u2019s bob dylan as \u201cbob dillon . \u201d )\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\nwritten -

or two - goal game , the losing team\u2019s coach didn\u2019t use the familiar maneuver of substituing the goalie for an extra attacker . it\u2019s a last - ditch effort , relying upon your team\u2019s ability to control the puck and get enough traffic in front of the other net to make up the deficit before time runs out . the worst that can happen ? the other team gets the puck into the now - unprotected goal and effectively seals the win by an extra goal . but if you\u2019re going to lose anyway , an extra goal doesn\u2019t matter . it\u2019s a trade - off .\nit\u2019s a time - honored tradition in north american hockey , from the nhl on down . i had assumed it was standard operating procedure overseas as well . but at least during the olympics , it wasn\u2019t on the agenda .\nsince yesterday , whenever i call the site up , it just goes to a blank \u201cloading\u2026\u201d page , and then nothing . it doesn\u2019t load , it doesn\u2019t error out , just sits there . weird .\neven weirder , the gmail inbox does load up through the google personalized interface . and weirdest of all : the gmail site does load up fine with internet explorer .\ni know the livesexchat account is working , because i can see incoming messages coming in through the personalized view . but i can\u2019t get to them without firing up ie .\ni haven\u2019t changed any settings , either on google or firefox . it\u2019s a mystery .\nwell , the olympics ended yesterday . so i guess it\u2019s time to go back to work \u2014 or at least , a reasonable imitation .\nso i\u2019m heading over to the hilton new york , tomorrow and wednesday , to check out the 2006 search engine strategies conference & expo . actually , i\u2019ll be attending just the expo , because it\u2019s free , and because there\u2019s always bunches of freebies and gawk -

term hurricane event rates , secondary perils like storm surge , fire following and , when feasible , sprinkler leakage , loss amplification , and secondary uncertainty ) . one notable exception is assumed retrocession business ( 2 . 5 % of current portfolio limits ) , for which exposure data isn ' t available , but is nonetheless modeled by the ceding companies . many of the covered perils are modeled using rms 6 . 0 peril models . european flood , european earthquake and attritional losses ( e . g . , midwest floods , brushfires , etc . ) are modeled using in - house curve fitting methods .\nmoody ' s has applied a moderate load to the base curve to account for the following elements : 1 ) potential deviations from the expected portfolio ( e . g . , exposure growth and change in mix ) ; 2 ) difficult -

contractual obligations ( i . e . , bad faith claims ) ; 4 ) inherent uncertainty in peril modeling especially as it relates to perils like earthquakes where little historical data is available for model calibration ; and 5 ) a small load for perils that are not modeled by any methods such as volcanic eruption , meteorite impact , tsunami , domestic terrorism and industrial / residential conflagration .\ncyrus reinsurance ii limited -

determination process . the trust territory was administered by the united states and included the islands that the airline had previously sought to add to its route schedule back in 1944 . ultimately the airline lost this bid to continental , which established air micronesia in 1968 . following this disappointment , in terms of scheduled passenger service beyond hawai\u2018i\u2019s shores at least , the airline went all but dormant for nearly twenty years .\nnorth america : delta air lines serves manila from detroit via tokyo narita . passengers transit in japan to other delta flights to other east asian or us cities . philippine airlines serves manila from los angeles , san francisco , vancouver , toronto and honolulu . a popular option for passengers flying to the philippines from north america is to fly via tokyo , osaka , seoul , hong kong or taipei .\ncapa profiles help you identify new business opportunities and make better business decisions , by providing accurate and up - to - date data on airports , airlines , suppliers , investors , mros , lessors and countries around the world . each profile offers comprehensive news and analysis , as well as the ability to drill down into data on schedules , capacity share , fleet , traffic , financial results and more .\nthe challenges kennedy faced were not limited to the war . every new route within the united states required approval of the cab , which also regulated pricing . hawai\u2018i was still a territory , with congressional representation limited to a single nonvoting delegate in the house of representatives . an island - based airline simply couldn\u2019t wield the same kind of bureaucratic influence as those based on the continent . kennedy was a visionary and not one to give up easily . writing about this era in wings of history : hawaii\u2019s incomparable airlines\nof course , these additions did not occur overnight , but compared with the airline\u2019s early attempts to fly beyond the hawaiian islands , they have come at lightning speed : though it began flying passengers within the islands in 1929 as interisland airways , hawaiian airlines\u2019 first scheduled passenger flights to the continental united states didn\u2019t take place until 1985 , with scheduled international flights ( to tahiti and the cook islands ) following two years later . the effort to establish those first flights spanned more than forty years and three generations of aircraft .\nbeware of airlines usurping the role of immigration officers technically you are supposed to have at least six months remaining on your passport on the date you are scheduled to leave the philippines , even if you qualify for visa free entry . however , it ' s almost unheard of for philippines immigration officers at ports of entry to actually enforce this requirement ( unless fishing for a bribe ) ; indeed alien children of returning balikbayan have been known to have been granted permission to stay for the usual 12 months when only 4 months remained at entry on their passports .\nultimately , it took an act of congress to help hawaiian establish its overseas routes . the cab had over the decades proved to be a bureaucratic quagmire , with route approval often taking years and almost always favoring the largest carriers . in 1978 the airline deregulation act was passed , which among other things mandated a multi - year phase - out of the cab . from that point forward , us airlines were in essence allowed to fly any domestic route they chose and to set whatever prices they wanted . the cab closed for good on january 1 , 1985 .\ncreated by paris - based fashion designer pierre balmain in 1968 , the\nsarong kebaya\nis traditionally made from asian batik . as well as the blue sarong kebaya that characterizes singapore airlines , the uniform of the female flight attendants are presented in four other colors , each signifies the role of the wearer : blue is for flight attendants , green for supervisor attendants , red for the head of flight attendants , and purple for in - flight supervisor . the roles of male cabin crew can also be distinguished in the same way , by the color of their ties .\n\u201cone of the curiosities about this business is that you buy airplanes that will be with you for twenty - five years , and with the lead time they won\u2019t be delivered for five to seven years , \u201d says hawaiian airlines ceo mark dunkerley . \u201cso you\u2019re really peering into the murky depths of the uncertain future and making some very substantial bets . well , we did that , and we said , \u2018starting in 2010 and over the next decade , we will grow our international network ; there will be a fairly steady cadence of one to two routes per year . \u2019 and we committed to that in early 2008 . \u201d\na significant majority of domestic flights in the philippines are operated by low - cost carriers and are consequently economy - only : pal is the only airline to offer business class on domestic flights . this does not mean however that fares are affordable : domestic seat sales are a common feature throughout the year , and all major airlines regularly offer promo fares on their websites . however , fares increase significantly during major peak travel seasons ( particularly during christmas , holy week and the last two weeks of october ) , and in places served by only one airline ( such as vigan or marinduque ) , fares also increase during major provincial or town fiestas . flights are frequently full during peak travel season , so it is advisable to book well in advance .\nthis phase - out coincided with more change at hawaiian . in 1984 , after a good deal of internal turmoil , the airline began to expand again . three long - range dc - 8 jets were added to the fleet that year , and military and civilian charter services resumed . in hindsight the demise of the cab and the addition of the first scheduled service to los angeles ( 1985 ) , seattle and san francisco ( both in 1986 ) seem something of an anticlimax . but combined with its international charter service and the first of its scheduled passenger flights to tahiti and the cook islands ( 1987 ) , hawaiian airlines had become a truly global airline . hawaiian\u2019s planes were literally all over the planet , and it was at times a wild ride .\nnext to buses and some times low cost airlines , ships are the cheapest modes of transports when getting around the country . fares can be as low as \u20b11 , 000 but some times as high as 3000 . from manila to iloilo , bacolod , cebu , butuan , cagayan de oro , iligan , ozamiz or dipolog a trip can last a day or two 2go operate interisland ferries out of manila . there is 2 go ferry which has convenient overnight ferry trips to coron , palawan . 2 go ferry operates between manila and coron , puerto princesa several days of the week . you can also stay on a cruise ship that ' s exploring around the coron area . the 7 , 107 island cruise ship takes passengers around coron and some of its private islands .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis web site has been setup to help you cut through the jungle of all those codes and abbreviations used in and around the airline industry . whether it be an aircraft type code in a printed timetable or an airline code in online booking system or on your ticket this site has been designed to help you find out what that code stands for . so if you want to know what type of aircraft an ab6 is that your bookings says you will be flying on or what airport yyz is that you are flying from or to , this is the place to look .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nthis website is property of bravonext sa , headquartered in vicolo de\u2019 calvi 2 , 6830 chiasso , ch ( company registration number ch -

signed . that means if you can\u2019t qualify on your own as an undergrad , you\u2019ll need to add someone with a credit score of at least 660 to the loan . you can take your co - signer off the loan after you\u2019ve made 24 on - time monthly payments . a lendkey student loan might be a smart move if you :\nthe startup provides a comprehensive solution for managing lending transactions , from creating and scoring credit applications to pulling funds from lending institutions to issuing electronic invoices . \u201cit\u2019s your brand and it\u2019s your balance sheet , \u201d lendkey founder and ceo vince passione says . \u201cit\u2019s our technology and our people , and we take care of the entire end - to - end process . \u201d this approach cuts out any unnecessary staff , since lendkey takes care of most of the processes .\nlendkey offers 18 months of forbearance . unlike some other loan providers we reviewed , lendkey doesn ' t limit how many months of forbearance you can apply for at a time . this is a great option if you lose your job or run into financial difficulties , because you can postpone your loan payments and not be considered delinquent . you need to be careful with forbearance , however , because the interest on your student loan is still accruing during this period .\nlendkey functions as the student loan servicer for all the loans its members fund . that means borrowers have access to strong , modern customer service along with the borrower - friendly loan terms credit unions and community banks are known for .\nlendkey pioneered lending - as - a - service ( laas ) to credit unions and banks in 2009 , and is currently the leading laas provider in the u . s . , with over 300 financial institution clients . located in\nwhile you can use a co - signer to refinance student loans with lendkey , the company says only 17 % of customers do ; the vast majority qualify on their own . you\u2019ll be in the best position to refinance if you :\nas a downside , though , lendkey doesn ' t offer online chat . instead , you can reach the lender by phone monday to friday , 9 a . m . to 8 p . m . eastern time , or by email .\nwe shared valuable insights on how banks mitigate risks that may exist by partnering with fintech companies at @ ababankers # abarcc this week . looking forward to hearing lendkey ' s feature on the # abapodcast # fintechpartner # fintech # banks # wednesdaywisdom urltoken\neven with federal student loans , many students need additional funding to complete their college educations . with lendkey , you can borrow up to $ 175 , 000 to pay for your undergraduate education . the limits are even higher for graduate and professional loans .\nlendkey offers just one 10 - year loan term , and borrowers must pay a flat fee of $ 25 a month while in school . you\u2019ll pay the full amount \u2014 principal plus interest \u2014 after your 6 - month post - graduation grace period has ended .\nlendkey\u2019s approach is completely different from earnest . though they also value a high level of customer service , their entire company set - up is based on outsourcing their borrowers to lending companies in their own communities . lendkey is simply the conductor of these relationships , guiding borrowers to the right financial institution or credit union for their specific situation . though they manage the lending relationships between borrowers and their network of over 13 , 000 lending institutions , they have a primary focus of excellent customer service that is brokered through these intentional lending relationships .\n\u201csince 2013 , lendkey has partnered with wsfs bank in providing digital solutions to our customers . they have successfully helped us accelerate our online student lending and refinance product offerings , while allowing us to maintain control over the credit criteria and keep the loans on our balance sheet . \u201d\nearnest takes some interesting factors into consideration when looking to approve borrowers , such as bank account balances and financial history , and lendkey is similar in that they consider unique aspects such as a history of academic success and the presence of a cosigner when making their decision to approve a candidate .\nanother drawback with lendkey is that it only offers variable - rate student loans . variable interest rates are based on market rates and can fluctuate , meaning the amount you pay per month can go up or down . other private student loan providers offer you a choice between variable and fixed interest rates .\nof all the private student loan providers that we reviewed , lendkey offered one of the best cosigner release periods . if you make 12 on - time payments , you can apply to have the cosigner on your student loan removed . this is great for students who need parents or grandparents to cosign on their loans .\nif you have federal and private loans , lendkey offers to consolidate those loans . consolidation can be useful if you ' re juggling multiple student loan payments and don ' t mind having a longer repayment term . ( however , consolidating your federal student loans with a private student loan can disqualify you from some federal student loan forgiveness plans . )\nforbearance : lendkey offers a tiered system for granting hardship forbearance if you have trouble making payments . for 5 , 7 - and 10 - year loans , borrowers receive 12 months of forbearance total in up to 4 - month chunks . for 15 - and 20 - year loans , it increases to 18 months total in up to 6 - month chunks .\na main point of difference between most student loan consolidation companies is the profile of their ideal borrowers . earnest is very traditional in that they approve candidates that are in excellent financial situations with very few exceptions . their typical borrowers have outstanding credit history , consistently growing bank accounts , a clear history of financial stability , and a full - time job with a high income . candidates with a financial or credit history containing a few surprises might be better off with a company like lendkey for their consolidation needs . though lendkey also values candidates with a history of smart financial decision - making , they are much more likely to approve potential borrowers with a less - than - stellar credit score or those in a slightly less stable financial situation .\nthe appa is committed to providing its medical , dental , and osteopathic doctor members with information , benefits and financial services that enhance their professional careers and personal lives . saving money by refinancing student loans into lower fixed or variable rates with lendkey is among the many resources that the appa provides to its members . as an added benefit , all appa members will also receive a\nlendkey helps you launch , scale , and maximize your consumer lending with our cloud based digital lending -

known companies in the lending market are earnest and lendkey .\n/ prnewswire / - - lendkey , the leading lending - as - a - service platform that connects borrowers with credit unions and banks , today announced that it has been exclusively endorsed by the american professional practice association ( appa ) . the partnership allows appa member doctors the opportunity to refinance existing federal and private undergraduate and graduate school loans at lower rates and save tens of thousands of dollars , on average .\npassione says the funding will go to expanding the company\u2019s tech , sales and operational teams as well as a new office in ohio . the startup\u2019s first product was managing in - school student loans in 2009 , and moved into student consolidation loans in 2011 . passione tells me lendkey will be adding a green loan service by the end of the year , to finance loans for high - efficiency home retrofits and solar panels .\nformerly fynanz , company says it now has 250 lending partners on its platform .\nlatest data shows that suv sales are doing well , while other automobile sales are plunging .\ngetting your human capital planning right is a critical responsibility for senior management and the board .\nthe guidance is designed to encourage banks and credit unions to establish banking relationships with medical marijuana -

happy generation might go for it . and if they can find college loans at lower rates than at a bank , who cares ?\nfynanz launched quietly on monday . it wants to apply the peer - to - peer lending model ( see prosper , zopa , lending club , and qifang in china ) to student loans . right now , only students who are residents of florida or new york can apply for a loan , but that will expand to the entire country later this year . anyone can become a lender .\nunlike prosper or other p2p lending sites , fynanze guarantees each loan . and since they are qualified educational loans , the students can deduct the interest from their taxes once they start paying back . to reduce its risk , the startup looks at other factors in addition to credit scores when evaluating each student borrower , including grade point averages and what school the student is attending . says ceo chirag chaman , a former banker who put up $ 500 , 000 in seed money to get the startup off the ground :\nwe looked at 15 years worth of data to create an underwriting model specific to student loans . we now what are the factors that reduce default rates . i was doing structured loans at citibank .\nyou can think of it as securitization for the masses , but i am removing investment banks from the process .\nthe loans are co - payable to the school , and fynanz takes into account tuition and other expenses to make sure students don\u2019t take out more than they actually need . \u201cit is not for your spring break , \u201d says chaman . by cutting out the banks , he thinks he will be able to find individual lenders willing to offer loans that are 0 . 60 % to 1 . 0 % lower than what a student would get from a bank . ( and that is after fynanze takes a 1 % fee for its guarantee fund ) .\nwith interest rates coming down , though , in response to the fed\u2019s recent interest - rate cuts , it is going to be tough to compete with the big banks . but the focus on student loans should shelter fynanz in comparison to other p2p startups with a broader loan portfolio ( student loans tend to have lower default rates than most consumer loans ) .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is disabled in your browser . would you like to proceed to legacy twitter ?\naround 44 . 2 million americans are suffering from student loan debt today . while these numbers rise , so does its ' market opportunity ! learn why investing in the private student loan market is not as risky as you think :\nthank you everyone for participating # cunaacuc see you at the # cunagac , and next years # cunaacuc in orlando . safe travels home ! @ cuna @ americascus urltoken\nour svp of regulatory compliance counsel , david mark , lead a excellent session at the @ ababankers regulatory compliance conference today . thank you to all the attendees for your participation . # ababankers # abarcc # abaconference # speaker\nthank you to diane cheng , @ helenfaith1 , and @ calgaryglen for discussing initiatives to assist their students to make more informed financial decisions . . . leading to a decrease in borrowing ! @ nasfaa # fintech # finhealth # studentloans\ngreat session at # nasfaa2018 hosted by lisa k . mitchell , katherine anderson , and emily sillcocks on the graduate degree battle ! we gained useful insights on how graduate students are paying for their advanced degrees . @ nasfaa # fintech # finhealth # nasfaa2018\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 -

[ the daily star ( oneonta , ny ) 7 / 12 / 07 ]\na few weeks ago , i met with some people at oorah\u2019s headquarters in lakewood , nj . like many of you , i had viewed the organization as a goofy bunch of people with a catchy radio jingle and great advertising . i knew that they were into kiruv and had a camp or two , but i didn\u2019t really know why they needed so much money and what they did with it . intrigued , i took advantage of an opportunity to discover the answers firsthand .\nthe best thing about urltoken is that all the good phone deals these days you need an internet connection . with cucumber you get an unlimited plan and you don\u2019t need an internet connection . i am very happy with their service and i am happier that the money is going to fund such a choshuve organization . 1800 - cucumber\nover 500 jewish children and teenagers attend oorah\u2019s highly subsidized overnight kiruv camps , boyzone , boys teenzone , girlzone , girls teenzone , and discover - u .\n# 3 : this is a cop out . no big sponsors started oorah off . rabbi lipschitz\u2019s point is don\u2019t imitate , be creative on your own !\noorah is endorsed by almost every leading rabbi in the orthodox world . in most states , this is criminal fraud , and it certainly violates irs rules .\noorah fired back , arguing that it does use the facility for religious functions because it is connected to a jewish day care that is run on premises .\naccording to robek , stadler is still a member in good standing at the young israel , despite negotiating the sale agreement with oorah that spurred the lawsuit .\noorah invested the money and then lost the money . and we think that , too , is something important for people to know ,\nswanson said .\nthis dichotomy , whereby oorah is so well - known for its advertising , yet less known for its world - changing and global kiruv efforts , is striking .\noorah is filling a need in kiruv that many other orgs . leave out\u2014accompanying the baalei teshuva on their journey in order to create successful long - term outcome .\n\u201cwe are still hoping this can all be resolved amicably , \u201d said robek . \u201ci just don\u2019t believe in a situation where oorah will agree to leave . \u201d\nso , go out and run the race . and , even though it is your organization that is doing the hard work , take some lessons from the marines and treat your donors like the superheroes that they are . after all , the marines are making this sacrifice for our country , just as our donors are making another kind of sacrifice for our organizations .\non this one , oorah and kars4kids wrote the story for us . this is a hat tip to the director of public relations for making our lives that much easier .\njoy is a registered international , 501 ( c ) ( 3 ) , non - profit organization providing developmental programs for at risk youth . joy provides food , clothing , shelter , health and wellness , education , after school programs , special training , mentoring , tutoring , private counseling , summer programs , and guidance to children from the ages of six to eighteen .\non . we have been with oorah for about 5 years and just love it ! ! ! always willing to put in that extra mile whether it is learning or listening .\n* * * by way of contrast , in 1998 , the last of the five probationary years preceding the irs decision on whether or not to grant permanent tax exempt status , oorah raised $ 262 , 657 and gave away $ 238 , 207 , just over 90 % of what it raised . download oorah _ 1998 _ irs _ 990 . pdf\na federal court has found that oorah failed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars of tuition scholarship money it owed to the jewish foundation school / rabbi jacob joseph orthodox day school .\nin the recent decision , a judge agreed that sidney stadler , the synagogue representative who bartered with oorah in 2007 , did not have the authority to enter into the arbitration agreement .\nespecially costly were kars4kids\u2019 and oorah\u2019s real estate investments in an alleged ponzi scheme in which they were victimized and lost more than a combined $ 7 . 6 million in 2009 and 2010 . to put the $ 7 . 6 million in context , oorah\u2019s total cash spending on jewish youth programs was approximately $ 12 . 2 million over that same period . the real estate developer behind the alleged investment scheme , which reportedly caused $ 200 million in total losses , was sentenced to 22 years in prison . even though kars4kids and oorah were victims , some donors may seriously question the judgment of eliyohu mintz , the principal officer of kars4kids and oorah , and their other respective board members in deciding to risk donated charitable funds on real estate speculation .\nin 2013 , a religious court , or beit din , ruled that the synagogue owed oorah $ 1 million after a dispute arose regarding the use of the property for the congregation\u2019s services . congregants later objected to the presence of rabbi chaim mintz , the father of oorah\u2019s acting president rabbi eliyahu mintz , as one of the judges on the beit din . ( a representative from oorah said that rabbi chaim mintz did not serve on the beit din that adjudicated the case , though the court decision says he was one of the arbitrators . ) in an effort to evade the potentially crippling arbitration award , the synagogue petitioned to vacate the award , arguing that the synagogue representative who originally entered into the agreement with oorah in 2007 had no authority to do so . )\nfor example , tax statements show that joy for our youth raised $ 24 million in 2009 , spending $ 7 million on advertising and $ 12 . 7 million for a grant to oorah .\nwhen money passes from one charity to another , typically an additional layer of overhead cost takes a second bite out of donations , leaving less cash available to be spent on the programs donors intend to support . for example , based on these charities ' 2008 overhead rates , a $ 100 donation to joy that is then granted to oorah would result in $ 35 left to help children . in its 2008 tax form , joy reports spending just over $ 14 . 6 million , or 65 % of its $ 22 . 5 million budget , on programs - - which at face value appears to be a reasonable amount . however , nearly all of this program spending , $ 14 . 5 million , consisted of a grant to the charity ' s affiliate organization , oorah . this grant made up most of oorah ' s funding in 2008 , according to that charity ' s tax form , on which it reports spending 46 % of its budget on overhead . donors who only look at joy ' s reported program spending without taking oorah ' s overhead expenses into account might get the impression that more of their charitable donations are going to benefit kids than is actually the case .\noorah has the endorsements ( download oorah _ rabbinic _ endorsements . pdf ) of many haredi gedolim and rabbinic leaders , including many who sigined the rabbi slifkin ban , and a who ' s who of modern orthodox leaders as well , including yu ' s rabbi modechai willig , the ou and yu ' s rabbi menachem genak , and the beit din of america ' s rabbi michael broyde .\nthe 2007 agreement said that oorah would pay off the property mortgages and other expenses in exchange for owning the building , with the understanding that the synagogue would continue to run services on the property .\nestablished in 1996 to help those children who were on the streets with no one to turn to for help . the dire situation of many young children was at dangerous levels . joy stepped in to fulfill a need for children who had no where to go and no one to turn to for help . joy has blossomed into an international organization helping to alleviate the problems of hundreds of children , and finding solutions that work .\n1 . oorah initially brought claims for breach of contract , promissory estoppel , and confirmation and enforcement of an arbitral award . compl . \u00b6\u00b6 57 - 71 . the school counterclaimed for breach of contract , quantum meruit , and unjust enrichment . answer \u00b6\u00b6 18 - 28 . only oorah ' s breach of contract claim and the school ' s counterclaims for breach of contract and unjust enrichment survived summary judgment .\nkars4kids\u2019 low rate of program spending is also particularly concerning given that the vast majority of kars4kids\u2019 program expenses consist of grants to its \u201csister charity , \u201d oorah , which runs the \u201ceducational , developmental , and recreational programs for jewish youth and their families\u201d funded by kars4kids , per its mission . about 93 % of kars4kids\u2019 cash - based program spending in 2015 was in the form of a grant to oorah in the amount of approximately $ 16 . 9 million . by comparison , kars4kids reported spending about $ 17 . 1 million on advertising and promotion in 2015 \u2013 about $ 150 , 000 more than its cash grant to oorah . furthermore , as a percentage of the funds kars4kids generated from donated vehicles ( including boats & planes ) in 2015 , its grant to oorah represented only about 46 % of those total funds raised .\nwhen organizations like oorah , delineate all the wonderful ways our tzadakah dollars are being used it not only validates the importance of giving tzadakah but shows how transparency in our mosdos can be a true kiddush hashem .\nwhile phone calls placed to oorah also were not returned , that group ' s web site says it was founded in 1980 ,\nwith the goal of awakening jewish children and their families to their heritage .\nsince 2010 when charitywatch last wrote about kars4kids and the more than $ 100 , 000 it paid related to misleading advertising claims in oregon and pennsylvania , news reports have identified kars4kids and / or oorah in connection with additional cases involving legal accusations or other questionable financial dealings . these include getting caught up as victims in an alleged ponzi scheme related to speculating on real estate development ; oorah losing a federal lawsuit over more than $ 300 , 000 in allegedly unpaid scholarship funds ; an ongoing payment dispute with the young israel of eltingville synagogue that includes tax fraud allegations against oorah ; and kars4kids paying to settle claims of trademark infringement .\nthe focus of the attorney general\u2019s report was on the fact that less money was spent on children and programs in minnesota than was raised in that state . this is true and we have never claimed otherwise . as a community - based national organization founded and headquartered in the northeast , it is only natural ( and perfectly legal ) for our charity recipients to be concentrated in this area , though we do have children and programs across the country .\nin the application , congregation oorah suggests that the current young israel congregation is defunct , stating that the location \u201cwas known as the young israel of eltingville\u201d and claiming that no other entity operates in the same facility .\nthe coats , i ' m told , primarily came from an unrelated charity and oorah , et al , didn ' t even have to pay for many of them . but even if they did pay , the number fo coats given away in this exploitative manner is exceedingly small compared to the money kars - 4 - kids raises every year . the vast bulk of that money goes to oorah , often through joy for youth .\noorah , however , spent $ 6 . 5 million on its programs that year , according to tax returns . another $ 3 . 5 million went to fundraising and administration , and $ 5 . 4 million was not disbursed .\nthe warmth , the inviting atmosphere , the sense of community . there\u2019s something about the staten island jewish community that will keep you coming back for more . oorah staten island is the number one source for jewish programming here on the island . with our programs and events , you\u2019ll discover the timeless power of our jewish heritage and values . oorah staten island is the center for the jewish community , offering educational and recreational programs , all completely free . come on over !\nthe site also says oorah enables children to enroll in jewish day schools or yeshivas and brings\nadult education opportunities to the parent , as well as all the ritual objects and support they need to live a full jewish life .\na january 2005 story in new york ' s the jewish week said oorah recruits potential students by going\ndoor -

exempt status for its non - existent congregation , oorah falsely told the irs that young israel of eltingville no longer exists and it is holding services at the young israel\u2019s location , \u201d rubin , who is representing the synagogue pro bono , told the jewish week via email . he says it\u2019s \u201cidentity theft\u201d because \u201coorah adopted young israel of eltingville\u2019s identity to obtain tax -

tom ashbrook\narguments for redshirting abound in academic journals , opinion pages , and parenting forums ; arguments attempting to debunk those those theories are almost just as widespread . on top of a slew of academic studies , it\u2019s been the subject of multiple posts in the new york times \u201cmotherlode\u201d blog , as well as the wall street journal , slate , and abc\u2019s good morning america , among others . the huffington post even has an entire landing page devoted to the topic . it\u2019s clear parents ( and educators and economists and policymakers ) want a verdict on the merits of the practice .\nbut research on redshirting suggests that the benefits are tempered by the costs , from an extra year of childcare for parents to a year less in the workforce for kids . even the size of the benefits is up for debate . for that reason , many education experts and economists are wary of redshirting .\nthe two recently published an article on the emotional and economic toll that redshirting can have on students , despite all its praise from writers like malcolm gladwell .\nso , is there any research that suggests redshirting is helpful ? yes\u2014but again , this research does not actually tell us much about redshirting . elizabeth dhuey , an economist at the university of toronto at scarborough , has published a number of studies suggesting that the older kids are in a class , the better they fare academically , the more leadership roles they have in high school , and the more likely they are to attend elite universities \u2014pretty much exactly the opposite of what the redshirting studies show . but even though her work has been used to support redshirting , \u201cmy findings relate only to a child\u2019s age relative to their classmates\u2014not the act of redshirting , \u201d dhuey explains . \u201cthese are different things altogether . \u201d because dhuey\u2019s work pools the impact of natural age differences across the school year\u2014comparing how kids born in may fare to kids born in december\u2014it\u2019s dishonest to cite her work as evidence that redshirting itself is helpful , even though there were probably some redshirters in her samples .\nalso , many teachers indicated that half their students lacked important skills , including following directions , academic skills , and the ability to work independently ( katz , 2000 ) . however , it\u2019s not the teacher who ultimately makes the decision .\nsafer , morley . \u201credshirting : holding kids back from kindergarten . \u201d cbs . n . p . , n . d . web . 6 apr . 2014 .\nin the article , you write that redshirting can even have a financial effect on students \u2014 an $ 80 , 000 decrease in earnings . can you elaborate on that ?\nwhat redshirting means for individual kids is tough to determine . some studies find that redshirted kids are academically on par with their classmates . others detect a slight academic boost . a 2005 study by the rand corporation , for example , found that kids who delayed entry by a year scored 6 points higher than their classmates on standardized math tests and 5 points higher on reading tests , an effect that persisted to first grade .\nwhat\u2019s more , a growing body of research suggests that redshirted kids might not enjoy benefits over the long run , anyway . a 2007 paper for the national bureau of economic research argues that \u201ccontrary to much academic and popular discussion of school entry age\u2014being old relative to one\u2019s peers is not beneficial . \u201d ( also , unpublished research from 2012 found that the advantages of redshirting \u201cfade out and appear to reverse by eighth grade . \u201d )\none of my best friends has a son who turned 5 two days after scott . she and her husband are high school and middle school science teachers , and both of them believe that holding their son back will do nothing but benefit his academic future .\nschmidt , michelle . \u201ckindergarten \u2018redshirting\u2019 : a leg up or an unfair advantage ? \u201d sparkpeople . n . p . , n . d . web . 06 apr . 2014 .\nalso , it appears more frequently among boys and for those born in the latter half of the year ( between september and december ) than with those girls or those born earlier in a year . also , the statistics from nces reveals that more white families than any other ethnicity will use academic redshirting . parental concerns play a crucial role . in most cases , it\u2019s a judgment call . still , other factors may play a role in this decision .\nimmediate effects . research on academic redshirting suggests that in the short term , redshirting ( 1 ) raises the child ' s academic achievement ( math , reading , general knowledge ) and conduct on par with or above that of younger classmates ( west , denton , & germino - hausken , 2000 ) ; ( 2 ) increases the child ' s confidence in social interactions and popularity among classmates ( spitzer et al . , 1995 ) ; and ( 3 ) may simply add to the normal mix of ages and abilities within the classroom . however , there is also some speculation that , in classes where there are children who have been redshirted , some older children may feel alienated from their younger classmates , and some older classmates may have an unfair advantage over younger classmates in size and in psychomotor and social skills . the presence of children of a wider age span may also make the class too diverse for a teacher to manage well .\nathletes may be asked to redshirt if they would have little or no opportunity to play as an academic freshman . this is a common occurrence in many sports where there is already an established starter , or too much depth at the position the freshman in question plans to play .\nproponents of redshirting argue that there is no definitive evidence that redshirting harms children in the long term . however some researchers found that adolescents whose school entry was delayed exhibit more behavioral problems than their peers . redshirters also have higher use of special education programs . this leads some researchers to speculate that many children who are redshirted as kindergartners may have had special needs that were misdiagnosed as immaturity .\nadding to my overall discomfort with the practice of redshirting is this : it ' s an option for those with the resources to do it . research from connecticut ' s department of education shows a redshirting rate of just 2 percent in poorer districts , and 27 percent in wealthier ones . one california study showed parents who redshirted their kids earned 40 percent more than those who don ' t .\naliprantis , dionissi . \u201credshirting , compulsory schooling laws , and educational attainment\u201d american educational research association , 37 : 316 ( 2012 ) : 316 -

year student ) who is in his first season of athletic eligibility . a redshirt freshman is distinguished from a true freshman ( first - year student ) as one who has practiced with the team for the prior season . the term redshirt sophomore is also commonly used to indicate an academic junior ( third - year student ) who is in the second season of athletic eligibility . after the sophomore year , the term redshirt is rarely used , in favor of fourth - year junior and fifth - year senior .\nredshirting borrows its name from a college sports euphemism for athletes sitting out a year and prolonging their eligibility , so that they will be older , larger and stronger when they finally do take the field .\nsome context : like private school , redshirting is most prevalent among white , asian , and relatively wealthy families . here\u2019s 2010 data from the national center for education statistics on the percentages of kids delaying kindergarten :\nyet some experts say that redshirting can be extremely appropriate and helpful for certain kids , and they aren\u2019t convinced by the research pooh - poohing the practice . that\u2019s because the impact of redshirting is very difficult to evaluate , as kids who are held back are fundamentally different in many ways from kids who go to kindergarten on time , so the conclusions of some studies might be flawed . and even if redshirting might not be beneficial when effects are averaged , there could be a subset of kids who really benefit from the extra \u201c gift of time . \u201d but before i get into that , let me summarize some of the studies .\nthe practice , called redshirting \u2014 from the term for allowing college athletes to delay participation in sports to prolong their eligibility \u2014 also has a connection to children\u2019s sports . as sports - minded parents know , physical maturity allows older children to perform better . coaches often mistake this difference for natural aptitude and respond by giving the older children on their t - ball or soccer teams more opportunities to improve their skills . and those athletes tend to gain a lasting competitive advantage . does a similar approach work for academic achievement ?\nthey don\u2019t do redshirting here ( that i\u2019m aware of ) \u2026 although to be honest , whenever i see that term i think in terms of star trek . kinda the opposite effect than what you\u2019re describing : )\nover time , i think the effect of being in school becomes more dominant than your age effect ,\ndatar told livescience .\nso one might expect that these [ redshirting ] effects might fade off .\nsorry , don\u2019t know why i\u2019m rambling about that . but i\u2019m a big advocate for the \u201credshirting\u201d now . i will not hesitate to do it with my other children if i have to , especially after this experience .\nno one disputes the immediate results of \u201credshirting , \u201d a phrase borrowed from the sports world . six - year - olds categorically test better than five - year - olds in kindergarten , and they enjoy greater social and physical maturity that helps them make friends and win at tag . but there\u2019s a growing debate about the effectiveness of redshirting in the long term\u2014not only for the kids held back , but for their peers , as well .\nstill , there are limited instances where redshirting provides benefits for students , according to schanzenbach and larson . in instances of illness or trauma , students may benefit developmentally from having time to recover before being placed in the classroom .\nsome families also have concern about changing the spacing in school years between siblings , especially when the older child is only one grade ahead of the younger child and a redshirting decision would place both children in the same grade .\napparently , the term redshirting is some sports metaphor when they would put a redshirt on a jv and let him play with the varsity team but the varsity players were not to hit the kid . the result is that the redshirted younger players had an unfair advantage . they redshirt quarterbacks at practices today . [ and additional definition from my dad : \u201cred shirting\u201d as it is understood in sports today is having a player practice but not play , retaining a year of eligibility . so the expression \u201cred shirt freshman\u201d would be an academic sophmore who was red shirted the previous year . ] redshirting in this context is holding your school - aged child back an extra year , and starting them in kindergarten at the age of 6 ( or first grade at the age of 7 ) .\nultimately , at the core of the argument over redshirting are questions about how children learn . do they develop social and cognitive skills according to automatic internal clocks that are unaffected by environmental influences\u2014which would suggest that kids become ready to learn on their own time ? or do kids develop key learning skills based on their interactions with others and how stimulating their environments are\u2014which would suggest that redshirting harms the children who could benefit from kindergarten the most ? no one knows for sure .\neffects in grades 1 - 3 . researchers have observed other effects of redshirting within the first three years of elementary school , including ( 1 ) academic achievement that is nearly equal to that of their grade - level peers ( west , meek , & hurst , 2000 ) , ( 2 ) a lower likelihood of receiving\nnegative feedback from teachers about their academic performance or conduct in class\n( cromwell , 1998 ; west , meek , & hurst , 2000 ) , and ( 3 ) less need for special education than classmates who were retained as kindergartners ( kundert et al . , 1995 ; may et al . , 1995 ) . however , there is also evidence that some first - through third - graders who were redshirted as children required greater use of special education services than their non - redshirted and non - retained classmates ( graue & diperna , in press ; may et al . , 1995 ) .\nin united states college athletics , redshirt is a delay or suspension of an athlete ' s participation in order to lengthen their period of eligibility . typically , a student ' s athletic eligibility in a given sport is four seasons , a number derived from the four years of academic classes that are normally required to obtain a bachelor ' s degree at an american college or university . however , in a redshirt year , student athletes may attend classes at the college or university , practice with an athletic team , and dress for play but may not compete in games . using this mechanism , a student athlete has up to five academic years to use the four years of eligibility , thus becoming a fifth - year senior .\nthe schools usually don ' t allow children who have not completed 5 years of age at the time of admissions to first grade class . so , those born in the later half of the year naturally get detained for the next year . this makes the child elder than other students in his class when he joins the school at the commencement of the next academic year .\ni\u2019ve kept in touch with many of these women on facebook . now that all of our \u201cseptember babies\u201d are turning five ( despite scott being born in july , he is still one of the \u201cseptember babies\u201d ) i\u2019ve noticed a major tendency to discuss redshirting the kids .\ndiperna , james and graue , elizabeth . \u201credshirting and early retention : who gets the \u2018gift of time\u2019 and what are its outcomes ? \u201d american educational research journal , 37 . 2 ( 2000 ) : 509 - 534 . web . 15 . april . 2014 .\nin this era of hypercompetitive parenting , more families are choosing to delay their children\u2019s entry into kindergarten , under the impression that the kids will have an academic and social advantage . in fact , a 2008 study by harvard researchers claims that since the late 1960s , the number of six - year - olds in first grade has dropped by 9 percent because they are increasingly likely to be enrolled in kindergarten .\nanother negative part of redshirting deals with students with special needs . the study seems to indicate that redshirted youths who later ended up in special education may have been misdiagnosed as being immature , and were redshirted for this reason . as a result , they missed a chance at early and direct intervention\none small but important spelling point : learn when to write \u201cparents\u201d versus \u201cparents\u2019 \u201c ( with the apostrophe , which shows plural possession , something that belongs to all of the parents ) . contrast these examples : parents may not have come up with the idea . parents\u2019 ideas about redshirting have changed .\nwe use two nationally representative data sets to estimate the prevalence of kindergarten\nredshirting\n\u2014the decision to delay a child\u2019s school entry . we find that between 4 % and 5 . 5 % of children delay kindergarten , a lower number than typically reported in popular and academic accounts . male , white , and high - ses children are most likely to delay kindergarten , and schools serving larger proportions of white and high - income children have far higher rates of delayed entry . we find no evidence that children with lower cognitive or social abilities at age 4 are more likely to redshirt , suggesting parents\u2019 decisions to delay entry may be driven by concerns about children\u2019s relative position within a kindergarten cohort . implications for policy are discussed .\nif questions arise about a child ' s social or academic readiness , parents should turn to a professional for advice , said donald easton - brooks , a professor of education at the university of north texas . in the absence of a diagnosable problem , most kids will do fine in school , he said , especially if they ' ve gone to preschool or had lots of opportunities to develop their social skills during play - dates .\nuntil more - conclusive research emerges , well - meaning parents are likely to continue redshirting their children . and depending on the individual child , that could be the right choice . but as harvard researcher david deming says , it\u2019s crucial that parents \u201cmake a decision with the whole life course in mind . \u201d\nnot surprisingly , some parents are turning to \u201credshirting\u201d when it\u2019s time for kindergarten : delaying their children\u2019s entrance by a year , a practice once reserved for college athletes seeking a competitive advantage . some schools have even supported such an approach by moving their \u201ccut - off\u201d dates to september , or even to june .\nthe term\nredshirting\noriginally referred to postponing the start of a college athlete ' s participation in games for one year to give him extra time to grow and practice with the team , hopefully improving a player ' s skills for future seasons . but college athletes aren ' t the only ones who can redshirt .\nslate : can your kid hack it in kindergarten ? -\nthe practice has become even more controversial in recent years over claims that some parents do it for the wrong reasons : they redshirt their kids not because their kids aren\u2019t ready for school , but because , in the age of parenting as competitive sport , holding them out might give them an academic , social , and athletic edge over their peers .\nthe wall street journal : should children be held back for kindergarten ? -\naccording to the national center for education statistics , some 6 % of kindergartners are redshirted nationally . but the numbers can vary by neighborhood . data from connecticut ' s department of education show the incidence of redshirting ranging from 2 % in poorer school districts to 27 % in wealthier ones .\non the surface , redshirting seems to make sense in the academic realm , too . the capabilities of a child\u2019s brain increase at a rapid pace ; the difference between five - year - olds and six - year - olds is far greater than between twenty - five - year - olds and twenty - six - year - olds . an extra year can allow a child to excel relative to the younger students in the class . \u201cespecially for boys , there is thought to be a relative - age effect that persists across sports and over time , \u201d said friedman . \u201cearly investment of time and skill developments appears to have a more lasting impact . \u201d older students and athletes are often found in leadership positions\u2014and who can doubt the popularity of the star quarterback relative to the gym - class weakling ?\nthe trend seems to be to have kids start later without much thought to the cost versus the benefits ,\nsaid darren lubotsky , an economist at university of illinois at urbana - champaign who has studied redshirting .\nthere might be some benefits , but there ' s a really big cost to kids starting later .\nthere are also several factors that most researchers agree call into question the efficacy of redshirting . if children with late birthdays are very bright , they may be bored if held back simply because they are chronologically young . if older upon entrance , they may also have difficulty relating to younger classmates , and may be found intimidating by them .\nso , while it may not clear up the redshirting debate , the new research might help spur the socially conscious parent to resist the temptation to redshirt\u2014on the grounds that doing so is not only unnecessary but can put educational attainment further out of reach for the child\u2019s less - fortunate peers . maybe the outliers is right in \u201cdrawing attention to [ the ] ways in which individual success is interdependent within an \u2018ecology\u2019 of others\u2019 activities , \u201d suggest kniffin and hanks . but it\u2019s far from clear whether relative age has much to bear on a child\u2019s future success . and absent a consensus , it may be best to hold off on redshirting , if only in the interest of playing it safe .\nthis essay asks a provocative set of questions about the rise of \u201credshirting\u201d practices in public education and their frequency , factors , and larger consequences . the introductory thesis tells us that the issue arose in the 1980s and its practice has increased over time , but a richer introduction would lay out the types of factors that contributed to this shift , to help frame the rest of the essay for readers . for example , a stronger thesis might have argued that redshirting has been caused by a combination of state & district fears about standardized testing and parental fears about child retention , and may have greater consequences for lower - income families , since these three large ideas appear in the body of the essay .\nin fact , redshirting could mean that a preschool - educated 6 - year - old is learning alongside a low - income 4 - year - old who\u2019s never stepped foot in a classroom\u2014a kid whose vocabulary may be 30 - million words smaller than her wealthier peers . even if that 6 - year - old was indeed a little \u201cunderdeveloped\u201d at age 5 , delaying his entry into school could contribute to the kind of incongruity that fuels detrimental discrepancies in achievement\u2014gaps that expand and evolve over time . the society for research in child development reported in 2002 that , notwithstanding some evidence in favor of redshirting , doing so may be \u201cdisadvantageous for low - income children , who already begin school with relatively poor cognitive skills . \u201d\nthere\u2019s also the fact that kids are sometimes redshirted because they have behavior or learning problems that parents mislabel as immaturity\u2014 i\u2019m sure kalee\u2019s tendency to throw chairs at adults will go away once she turns 6 , so we\u2019ll just wait a year . this could explain why redshirted kids often need special education services and also why they\u2019re more likely to drop out of school and not go to college . in other words , redshirting might not actually increase the risk of these problems\u2014it may just be a sign of existing problems . yet redshirting these types of kids \u201ccan in fact make the problems worse , in that the child\u2019s access to support is delayed as the family and school wait for maturity to kick in , \u201d graue says .\nboys are definitely wired differently from girls from the get go although that doesn\u2019t mean that girls don\u2019t benefit from redshirting as well . my eldest daughter probably would have been better with another year at home for maturity reasons although she has always loved school ( social aspect ) and yet her younger brother\u2019s birthday is 3 days earlier and he\u2019s done great and really has blossomed .\nchances are , this wasn ' t a big deal when you were small . for decades , a child who turned five within a calendar year was generally accepted into kindergarten in september . as long as you turned five by around december 1 , you started school along with everyone else . but that was also when kindergarten was not the academic place it is now . while a successful year in 1978 may have meant mastering blocks and paint , today it includes handling pencil , paper , books , and playground rules , too .\nhuang in particular offers compelling data against the practice of redshirting . according to his study , redshirted students are more likely to be placed in special education programs or have behavior or substance abuse issues . students who were relatively old for their grade because of redshirting were described as less engaged in school , and had lower rates of homework completion , lower scores on standardized tests , and a higher likelihood of dropping out of high school . compare this to students who were relatively young for their grade , who were described as valuing school more , with better attendance rates . in fact , according to a 2007 study from the national bureau of economic research , there\u2019s evidence to suggest that kids may perform better when they are in classes with older students .\nit should be pointed out that \u2018reshirt\u2019 has been extended to apply to providing an extra year of eligibility in non - sports , but still mostly in school situations \u2018to get them eligibility for additional schooling : under the redshirt plan , special education students could extend their high school program by at least one year . \u2019\u2014 learning disabilities association newsbriefs ; \u2018a student who successfully completes the program should be prepared to enter directly into the college engineering curriculum . further information on our redshirt program options can be obtained from the school of engineering office of academic programs .\nthe practice has become even more controversial in recent years over claims that some parents do it for the wrong reasons : they redshirt their kids not because their kids aren\u2019t ready for school , but because , in the age of parenting as competitive sport , holding them out might give them an academic , social , and athletic edge over their peers . if little delia is the star of kindergarten , they scheme , maybe she\u2019ll ride the wave all the way to harvard . gaming the system this way , of course , puts other kids at a disadvantage .\nthe economic and academic disparities widen when we consider that many students don\u2019t have access to kindergarten \u2014 redshirted or not \u2014 at all . even though it\u2019s optional in 35 states , kindergarten provides an important year for exposing kids to key concepts that will prepare them for first grade . in kindergarten , kids learn basic reading , writing , and math , as well as certain social skills and habits , like sitting still and following directions , that help children become successful students . because of its importance , kids are at a definite disadvantage if they don\u2019t attend .\nbecause families who wait before sending their kids to kindergarten tend to be relatively affluent , they can often afford an extra year of preschool . in practice , then , a child who is 6 years old could end up in the classroom with a child who is 4 years old . unsurprisingly , the older student would likely score higher on standardized tests , a pattern that would make redshirting appear to work .\nin the midst of what feels like a wealth of data , it\u2019s still difficult to parse out some of the key effects of redshirting . there is a difference between a child who is relatively old for a particular grade and a child whose parents have expressly delayed the start of kindergarten . redshirting can send a message to a child that , right from the start , achievement is the top priority , and the parents don\u2019t think she is good enough to be in a grade with her peers . if children are kept from school because they don\u2019t meet a parent\u2019s expectation for what a kindergartner should look like , they may miss the opportunity to develop the skills they need at the appropriate time . and if a student does have a developmental delay , then access to individualized educational support services should be provided sooner rather than later .\nthe emphasis on high - stakes testing of education - reform initiatives such as no child left behind exacerbated what researchers in 1988 identified as escalating academic demand in kindergarten classrooms . in part because of those public - policy changes , though also because of fiscal incentives and mindset changes , more and more states started moving up their cutoff dates . in 1975 , just nine states required students to be 5 by the start of the school year ; by 2005 , the number had grown to 33 . data from 2008 shows that 17 percent of children entering kindergarten that year were 6 years or older .\nof course , the goal of this article was to try and present more information so that parents feel equipped to make the decision that they think is best for their kid . certainly , we don ' t think never redshirting is the right idea , but we did think it was going to be useful to provide additional info , especially to the type of parent who wants to understand [ what the data shows . ]\nparents who want to give their young children an academic advantage have a powerful tool : school itself . in a large - scale study at 26 canadian elementary schools , first graders who were young for their year made considerably more progress in reading and math than kindergartners who were old for their year ( but just two months younger ) . in another large study , the youngest fifth - graders scored a little lower than their classmates , but five points higher in verbal i . q . , on average , than fourth - graders of the same age . in other words , school makes children smarter .\nmy brother - in - law is a high school math teacher . he\u2019s been a high school math teacher for longer than i\u2019ve been a parent . his son was born two weeks after scott , and they\u2019re redshirting him . he told us that he sees the difference in boys\u2019 math scores between the older and younger boys , and the difference is major enough often enough for him to be a proponent of boys being older when they enter school .\none small point about evidence : you claim that redshirting \u201chas become a recent phenomenon , with scarce mention before the early 1970\u2019s , \u201d but never explain how you know this to be true . recall that in class , we conducted searches for the phrase in education index retrospective , a database of education journal articles from the 1920s - 1983 , and found only one instance . a richer essay would have explained this as evidence of the rise of the term .\nin his analysis , gladwell overstates the benefits of redshirting to some degree ,\nthe article reads .\nin fact , a balanced look at the research suggests that while children derive a short - term gain from being redshirted , that advantage dissipates quickly over time .\nit notes that while a year marks a huge proportion of a 5 - year - old ' s life , it is a less significant amount of time for an 18 - year - old .\nresearchers discovered that relatively more mature students didn\u2019t have an academic edge ; instead , when they looked at their progress at the end of kindergarten , and , later , when they reached middle school , they were worse off in multiple respects . not only did they score significantly lower on achievement tests\u2014both in kindergarten and middle school\u2014they were also more likely to have been kept back a year by the time they reached middle school , and were less likely to take college - entrance exams . the less mature students , on the other hand , experienced positive effects from being in a relatively more mature environment : in striving to catch up with their peers , they ended up surpassing them .\ncurious john , they had to pick some color or shirt design to distinguish them from the herd and maybe red was as good as any . also , i wouldn\u2019t necessarily say that redshirting applies mostly to football . \u2018the redshirt year was created largely to give football and basketball players an extra year to mature \u2014 usually taken advantage of by freshmen . \u2019 [ august 2002 , on a proposal to throw out the ncaa redshirt rule and allow athletes to play for 5 full years ]\nredshirting ( as term is often known ) derives its name from a common practice in college athletic programs , in which , a college athlete postpones - - or is chosen to postpone - - his / her participation in regular season games for one year in order to further practice and prepare with the team . this is done in hopes preserving a year of eligibility to play collegiate sports , as well as to improve his / her skills for future seasons ( katz , 2000 ) .\nperhaps the most concerning aspect of redshirting , at least in my experience , is that , in retrospect , it is often done disproportionately to children with undiagnosed special needs who at the time were judged to be developmentally behind , but in fact were in need of special education services , not another year to mature . children with learning disabilities who are redshirted or retained in kindergarten lose any accrued benefit very quickly and are then simply older children with special needs that still must be addressed .\nathletes may also use a\ngrayshirt\nyear in which they attend school , but cannot enroll as a full - time student , and do not receive a scholarship for that year . this means that they are an unofficial member of the team and do not participate in practices , games , or receive financial assistance from their athletic department . typically , grayshirts are players who are injured right before college and require an entire year to recuperate . rather than waste the redshirt , the player can attend school as a part - time regular student and join the team later . this is also used by players with religious or military obligations that keep them out of school for a full academic year .\nas with research on the early benefits of redshirting , research on long - term benefits is mixed . one 2006 study published in the quarterly journal of economics looked at age at kindergarten entrance in an international sample of children and found the youngest kids in each grade lagged behind in test scores through eighth grade , though the gap shrank over time . the researchers also found that the oldest kids in each grade were about 10 percent more likely to go to a four - year college than younger peers .\nthere are several factors at play here , including the traditional wisdom , backed up by research , that shows little boys to be particularly fidgety in kindergarten . that said , the most striking disparity is also the most worrying . for families earning the least in this country , redshirting is cost - prohibitive ( pdf ) . as higher - income families delay their kids\u2019 kindergarten entry , children from lower - income families end up \u201ccompeting\u201d against older and more - prepared classmates\u2014at a crucial time for learning and development .\nthe first athlete known to extend his eligibility in the modern era of redshirting was warren alfson of the university of nebraska in 1937 . alfson requested that he be allowed to sit out his sophomore season due to the number of experienced players ahead of him . in addition , he had not started college until several years after graduating from high school , and thus felt he needed more preparation . the year off worked ; alfson was all - big six conference in 1939 and an all - american guard in 1940 .\nbut schools enjoy the higher - averaged standardized test scores achieved by older students . this is troubling , because the more affluent middle - and upper - middle - class school districts have parents who can financially afford the extra year of childcare that comes with the territory of redshirting , while districts comprised of poorer families have parents who can ' t afford to make the same advantageous decisions for their children . this obviously increases the achievement gap between wealthier and poorer school districts , a divide that also often falls along racial lines .\nwhen the harvard sociologist hilary levey friedman was expecting her first child , one thing worried her : her due date , january 3rd . it was uncomfortably close to january 1st , an often - used age cutoff for enrollment in academics and sports . \u201ci was determined to keep him in until after january 1st , \u201d she said . and if the baby came early ? \u201ci actively thought about redshirting , \u201d she said . given the choice , she wanted him to be the oldest kid in his class , not the youngest .\nteachers may encourage redshirting because more mature children are easier to handle in the classroom and initially produce better test scores than their younger classmates . in a class of 25 , the average difference is equivalent to going from 13th place to 11th . this advantage fades by the end of elementary school , though , and disadvantages start to accumulate . in high school , redshirted children are less motivated and perform less well . by adulthood , they are no better off in wages or educational attainment \u2014 in fact , their lifetime earnings are reduced by one year .\nit ' s easy to see what the states are up to : they ' re worried about test scores , and they figure that older kids plus academic kindergarten will produce better ones . but this approach turns out to be extremely shortsighted , according to new research by david deming of harvard ' s kennedy school of government and susan dynarski of the university of michigan . the authors find that starting kindergarten late correlates with dropping out of high school and earning less afterward .\nthere is substantial evidence that entering school later reduces educational attainment ( by increasing high school drop out rates ) and depresses lifetime earnings ( by delaying entry into the job market ) ,\nthe authors write . also ,\nrecent stagnation in the high school and college completion rates of young people is partly explained by their later start in primary school .\nlet me answer you with an anecdote . when stephanie and i were writing \u2014 this was back in december and january \u2014 at the time , my daughter is finishing up preschool and going to start kindergarten the next year . we were not thinking about redshirting her , but the thought crossed my mind because she was not talking . it was very upsetting that she wasn ' t talking , and we had taken her to speech therapy and that didn ' t really go anywhere . she just wouldn ' t talk . and between january and today , some switch has flipped in her .\nbenefits or not , kindergartners are an increasingly older bunch these days . according to a 2008 paper published in the journal of economic perspectives , 96 percent of 6 - year - olds were enrolled in first grade 40 years ago . now , 84 percent of 6 - year - olds are in first grade . the missing 12 percent haven ' t dropped out \u2014 they ' re enrolled in kindergarten instead . about a quarter of the shift is due to state and school district policies that push age cut - off dates earlier in the year , the researchers reported . the rest is due to voluntary redshirting .\nso what should you do ? this is a good time for an honest , loving look at your child . if you have reason to think that kindergarten will be overwhelming , and especially if his or her birthday is after the start of the school year , you may have good reason to wait . but if you\u2019re just looking for competitive advantage , redshirting probably isn\u2019t the right path ; early successes can give way to boredom . if your child is generally on track , you\u2019re probably best off taking a traditional path : send your kid to school with a hug , a kiss and a loving wish for a healthy , happy year ."]}

tribal businesses have seen tribal immunity as a shield that they can use to make high - interest loans outside of the regulatory spotlight and a way to avoid state law enforcement , fox said . so they affiliate themselves with the tribe and conduct business under that shield , she said .\nplain green invests 40 percent of its profits directly back into the chippewa cree tribe . to date , we have provided scholarships , educational resources , funding for parks , and holiday meals for each member of the tribe . tribal leaders are developing a long -

commerce has provided our tribe with the ability to create innovative and profitable businesses , and we believe our product gives consumers real choice when it comes to emergency short - term loans . all nala lenders operate as an arm of their tribe and are wholly owned by the tribe .\nforty - two states and the district of columbia have taken different regulatory approaches , from outright bans to interest - rate caps . montana voters last year passed a ballot initiative that capped such loans at a 36 percent annualized interest rate , which has led to a nearly 83 percent drop in so - called deferred deposit lenders , according to montana banking and financial institutions director melanie griggs .\nplain green , llc is a tribal lending entity wholly owned by the chippewa cree tribe of the rocky boy ' s indian reservation , montana , a sovereign nation located within the united states of america , and we operate within the tribe ' s reservation . if we receive , process , and approve your application before 5 : 45 p . m . et , we typically fund it on the next business day . if we are unable to verify your application information , we may ask you to provide certain documents . the maximum loan amount for your initial loan is $ 1 , 000 . refer to loan cost & terms for additional details . we provide complete disclosures of apr , fees and payment terms in the loan agreement .\nthis compnay used to give good rates to repeat clients and had a transparent system that was easy to use . they ' ve raised their rates even on existing clients with excellent histories and hide what they are doing . the only possitive at this point is they evidently audited one of my older loans and sent me a refund . in the past i would ' ve recommend them to people , not anymore . i won ' t be using the again .\nlending club : lending club offers personal loans up to $ 40 , 000 with interest rates ranging between 5 . 32 % and 30 . 99 % . these interests rates are fixed , so you don\u2019t have to worry about them going up over time . there are no hidden fees or prepayment fees if you decide to pay off your loan early . lending club requires a minimum of a 660 credit score , though , so it may not be an option for some .\nwe structure our loans so you will have the option of making bi - weekly , monthly , or semi - monthly payments . for example , a $ 700 loan with an annual percentage rate ( apr ) of 413 . 00 % has 24 bi - weekly payments of $ 106 . 43 . the actual number of payments required for your loan will be based on your loan amount and your pay schedule . for your convenience , we link your loan payment dates to your pay dates .\npg says that the typical first - time customer qualifies for a loan of $ 200 - $ 1 , 000 , with an apr of 299 . 17 % to 378 . 95 % . that\u2019s better than many of the lenders we\u2019ve written about : western sky\u2019s interest rates on small - dollar loans can be as high as 340 % , while moneytree and mobiloans can easily have aprs over 450 % . still , you can do much better than a 300 % interest rate . for comparison :\ni have had 3 other loans with you in the past 4 years and have always paid them off . each time i had received one the interest rate would go down as i was told . the last time i got a $ 2000 . 00 loan my interest rate was % 200 and my payment was $ 329 . i did not notice at first but for the $ 2000 . 00 my interest rate is almost % 300 and my payment $ 420 . too late now but will pay off soon . not doing again . disappointed ."]}

scale piracy , but does not sue based on individual ip addresses , like in the voltage suit .\nfor voltage , however , the decision removes the \u201cinsurmountable economic barrier\u201d of paying the fee for the 55 , 000 people it identifies as infringers , said ken clark , one of the lawyers representing the movie producer .\nsaid chartier : \u201ccraig and i have wanted to work together for a long time . as he expressed interest in building a company , i wanted to partner with him to develop and package bigger films we could set up at studios and eventually have the option of being involved in international sales and co - financing through voltage pictures . as we grow , we\u2019ll produce and finance some films , co - finance others , and others we\u2019ll straight sell as a sales agent . i wanted to have the option to try different projects in the marketplace . \u201d\nas a result , those teksavvy customers could eventually receive a letter from voltage threatening legal action . under the federal copyright act , statutory damages for non - commercial infringement range between $ 100 and $ 5 , 000 .\naccording to the suit , the contract gives gibson the right to choose between voltage\u2019s cut and safinia\u2019s cut . but safinia was prevented from shooting the full screenplay and has been unable to complete a cut , gibson alleges .\nif voltage succeeds in the case , which should be dealt with this year , one of the last remaining benefits of an already imperfect system will be lost and with it , further erosion of internet privacy in canada .\nbut while the court sided with voltage ' s efforts to go after copyright violators , it sought to protect against the company acting ,\ninappropriately in the enforcement of its rights to the detriment of innocent internet users .\nin the voltage reverse class action litigation holds that , absent regulations , isps cannot require any reimbursement for the costs of forwarding notices or disclosing the identity of allegedly infringing subscribers pursuant to a court order . the court concluded :\nlooking to the future , voltage plans to continue its history of partnering with the most respected talents in the industry and to continue producing , financing and selling a diverse array of films that connect with audiences around the world .\niinet refused to hand over the account details of the 4 , 726 ip addresses demanded by voltage , and took it to court , where , in early april , the judges sided with voltage . however , in a massive blow to voltage , they required that any letters sent out to people be approved by the court , undermining the key tactic of exaggerating claims in these kinds of cases . most such cases rely on threatening significant damages at court in order to ' encourage ' the recipient to settle , but justice perram has indicated that the damages could be as low as au $ 10 ( us $ 8 ) , although there could be significant court costs as well .\nnow , in this reverse class action , voltage is going to use whichever subscriber name it happens to pry loose first as the\nlead defendant\nin the lawsuit . instead of\ndoe ,\nthe lawsuit will be amended to carry that unlucky person ' s name on the first page , and designate that person as\nrepresentative\nof every other doe voltage has yet to unmask . obviously , the privacy implications for that person are immense .\nthis would be a major setback to the speculative invoicing model used by voltage , which relies on the high potential damages , plus the significant cost of defending a case ( greater than the settlement demanded ) to ensure a steady revenue stream . with the court restricting the intimidating language , and the offer of free legal counsel to defend the cases , it may end up being far more costly for voltage to pursue claims than they can hope to recoup .\nthe voltage filing seeks certification of the class , a declaration that each member of the class has infringed its copyright , an injunction stopping further infringement , damages , and costs of the legal proceedings . voltage names as its representative respondent john doe ( linked to a rogers ip address ) . it admits that it does not know the names or identifies of any members of its proposed class , but seeks to group anyone in canada who infringed the copyright on one of the five movies . voltage does not say how many people it has identified as infringing its copyright . it urges the court to issue an order to stop the infringement and to assess damages to be paid by each person .\nvoltage envisions using the personal information of a single random person as the lead name in a high - profile class - action lawsuit , a much more intrusive use of the information with far - reaching implications for the affected individual .\nthe suit also claims that voltage showed a portion of the film to distributors at the cannes film festival , and has been screening the film in l . a . county , in violation of gibson\u2019s right to select the final cut .\nin the united states of america the standard voltage is 120 v and the frequency is 60 hz . you can use your electric appliances in the united states of america , if the standard voltage in your country is in between 110 - 127 v ( as is in the us , canada and most south american countries ) . manufacturers take small deviations ( plus or minus 5 % ) into account . be careful if you bring appliances from japan ( 100 v ) .\ndbc , owned by voltage pictures , has been among the most aggressive practitioners of mass copyright litigation . data from lex machina shows it filed over 250 cases in united states courts . once it gets subscriber details , dbc demands as much as $ 5 , 000 per torrented file . obviously , this amount bears little relationship to the actual harm it has suffered ( the movie is available on itunes for $ 14 . 99 ) . but dbc is able to use the expense of litigation , and the threat of statutory damages , to extract settlements hundreds of times higher than the cost of its movie .\nsubscribe to voltage pictures for all our latest releases : urltoken i feel pretty in i feel pretty an ordinary woman who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis wakes from a fall believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet . with this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly , but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed ? directors : abby kohn & marc silverstein stars : amy schumer , michelle williams , rory scovel , emily ratajkowski , aidy bryant , busy phillips , tom hopper with naomi campbell and lauren hutton show less"]}

ami . i show yu - ami as belonging to kosmas air though . not of any particular use i know , just thought i ' d mention it ! first time i ' ve heard one ! r\nthe beginning in 1928 , on the eve of the grand opening of norse hall , john o . johnson of the grieg lodge building committee wrote in the souvenir program , \u201cthe thought of building a lodge hall was one of our early problems , and as the years went by , the vision of a home of our own was constantly before us . \u201d\n\u201cwednesday is my day , \u201d he tells shadow by way of introduction . this is the first big clue that shadow is dealing with a god , because the day wednesday or \u201cwodensday\u201d is named after odin , who also goes by the old saxon name wodan . in old norse he\u2019s called oden , which has become onsdag ( wednesday ) in modern scandinavian countries .\nand that\u2019s how it has always been . from the very beginning , the members of grieg lodge have worked hard \u2013 first to build and then to preserve their beloved home . norse hall has been both a treasure and a taskmaster to each generation of its caretakers , demanding much , but also offering much in return as a touchstone that holds its family together .\nmerlin m . no need to get in a huff my boy , you might use up the last bit of oxygen up here . . : ooh : i stand corrected , the banks foreclosed on norse , not liquidated yet , they have a grace period to sort themselves out . . . anyone remember rossair ? hopefully it turns out better than that though . .\n1940s apart from special events , the norse hall ballroom was the scene of a dance every saturday night . by 1940 , the hall\u2019s signature neon sign had been installed and was a bright beacon on the weekends of the hall\u2019s activity . when world war ii began , and germany occupied norway , fundraisers were held at norse hall to support the norwegian resistance . meanwhile , the grieg lodge leikarringen group performed at bond rallies and at fort lewis to entertain the troops . according to toni linne , a member of leikarringen at the time , \u201cmost of the leikarringen groups disbanded during the war , but grieg lodge\u2019s leikarringen has operated continuously since it started . it\u2019s been the cement at this lodge . \u201d the group lost its accordion player in battle .\nmeanwhile , the lodge\u2019s leikarringen dance group , founded in the early 1930s , and the norwegian glee club gave regular performances at the hall . in 1938 , the seventeenth of may celebration at norse hall was a two - day affair that so impressed the editor of the oregon journal , marshall n . dana , he wrote about it the next day in the editorial page :\nthroughout these years , a variety of non - profit and ethnic groups rented norse hall for meetings and events , including the letter carriers union , the submarine veterans , sesame dance group , norske runddansere , the danish lodge , swedish linnea , league of swedish societies , daughters of norway , and the scandinavian ladies\u2019 and men\u2019s chorus . many are still with the hall today .\nyet in downtown kirkwall , where the romanesque cathedral , built of sandstone , houses the relics of st . magnus erlendsson , the norse - descended earl of orkney who was martyred after an unsuccessful battle with a rival chieftain in the early 12th century , and where miniature viking ships still cap the post office lintel , donna heddle had no doubt the connection went considerably deeper than mere marketing .\nalthough many heritage halls were built in the early part of the 20th century by the scandinavians who came to america , few remain today . those that do represent a legacy reminding us of their commitment and dreams for the future \u2013 something norse hall\u2019s builders knew a lot about , and still communicate to us today as we work and play within the walls they constructed . \u2013 j . d . whipple\n1990s few major building projects took place in the 1990s at norse hall , but many repairs , equipment purchases and upgrades were undertaken . the volunteer office was created , and the cloak room became a shop ( \u201clandhandel\u201d ) and computer room . the maple floor in the hallway upstairs was uncovered and restored to its original condition , hinting at what might be hidden beneath the tile flooring in the old library .\n1980s in 1985 , grieg lodge , which was founded in 1910 , celebrated another landmark \u2013 its 75th birthday . the lodge\u2019s diamond jubilee was marked by a huge sit - down dinner in the ballroom . further building projects were also pursued during this decade . the air conditioning system was added , the \u201cnew kitchen\u201d was excavated and built , and the library was moved downstairs next to the main dining room . once again , most of the labor for these projects was handled in - house , and as bob lee notes , \u201d big john jensen\u201d played a key role in all of them .\nbut neither scandi chic , nor the newer , kinder version of the vikings had made it to the nearby town of wick , which gets its name from the old norse word for bay . asked why the hotel where she worked was called the norseman , the receptionist admitted that she wasn\u2019t sure . \u201cbecause they came here raping and rampaging through the hills ? \u201d she asked . \u201cyou know , doing viking things . \u201d\nhe wasn\u2019t sure what to make of his ancestors\u2019 past . \u201cwhen i was a kid , the ties to the norse felt stronger , \u201d he said as he stopped to stick his nose in a bag of hops . \u201cthere were all these words we used , and the whalers would take our men because they knew our seafaring skills went back to them . now sometimes i think it\u2019s just for the tourists . but everybody in shetland is still proud of their viking heritage . \u201d\nscotland is perhaps not the most obvious place to look for traces of nordic culture . but in the months leading up to the nation\u2019s vote on independence from england last september , there was talk of it everywhere . although it had been six centuries since any part of scotland was in norse hands , many nationalists were suggesting that viking heritage formed part of the separate identity that lay behind an independence bid , which , although it failed at the polls , has grown stronger since the referendum .\nthe next two years were consumed with raising the money needed for the lodge\u2019s new home at 11th & couch . finally , as the nation teetered on the brink of the stock market crash and the great depression , norse hall was completed in 1928 at a cost of $ 65 , 000 . designed by elmer feig , an architect known for his modern , art deco style , the elegant spanish renaissance building covered a quarter of a city block and was among the most imposing structures of the time on the city\u2019s east side .\n1930s from that point on norse hall was an important focal point for the norwegian community and other scandinavian groups which used the facility for meetings and events . but times were difficult and it wasn\u2019t easy to make the mortgage payments on the hall . once again the ladies responded with grass - roots fundraisers : dinners , lunches and handicraft sales . the men donated their labor for whatever maintenance or repairs needed to be done . and as howard johnson recalls , \u201cwe were true tightwads through it , which scandinavians are famous for . \u201d\n1960s & 1970s in the decade between the early 60s and early 70s significant remodeling projects were undertaken to upgrade and modernize the aging building . it was during this time that many of the original elements of norse hall were changed or sacrificed . a huge mahogany bar with a brass foot rail was removed from the basement , and the oslo lounge was created where the ladies lounge had been on the main floor . the open balcony surrounding the ballroom was sealed , lighting fixtures were changed to fluorescent strips , ceilings were lowered , aluminum windows went in on the upper floor .\nbut natural retreats , a hotel development company , has made the place much more appealing by taking a gothic - style inn and adding several nordic - style wooden houses onto the side . each building is called a toft , a norse - derived word for farmhouse or homestead . the tofts are painted different colors and contain apartments , which comprise the accommodations . the rooms are spare and tasteful , with the streaming light and clean lines that are the hallmarks of scandinavian design . \u201cit\u2019s quite straightforward , \u201d said adam gough , natural retreats \u2019 head of technical services , when asked about nordic style . \u201cthere is a lot of history and strong links with scandinavia . \u201d\nit wasn\u2019t hard to see why she persisted in that image . wick , which robert louis stevenson once referred to as \u201cthe meanest of mean towns , \u201d has little in the way of tourist attractions except for a ruined castle that was probably built in the 12th century , presumably by the norse earl , harald maddadson . one of the oldest and best preserved in scotland , the castle\u2019s tower still reaches four stories up , and its defensive ditches and perilous cliffs keep it cut off from the mainland . it is a stirring place , desolate and imposing , and not at all hard to imagine as the kind of stronghold from which one might have set out marauding .\nthe kabul contract is going strong . . . . it is now in the hands of ex balmoral robin reid . the percentages of ownership may have changed and there is a new name involved , but there are more a / c on their way to kbl . current machines are 3 x be20 , 2 x b190 , 2 x bell212 and even an mi -

ft . site they considered suitable at 11th & n . e . everett . the price was $ 5 , 000 cash . a special meeting was called on november 15 in order to vote on this momentous decision . a motion to buy the property passed by a vote of 48 to 5 .\nin order to pay for the site , the lodge liquidated the majority of its total cash assets including funds in checking and savings accounts , and liberty bonds bought during world war i \u2013 a bold move for the norwegian - americans . by february , 1925 the sale was finalized , and the lodge began to plan fundraising activities that would go towards financing a building . the ladies social club was charged with organizing bazaars , pie socials , rummage sales and card parties . a raffle was also planned , offering as the grand prize a \u201ccombination rail and steamship passage to norway . \u201d\nbut a twist was yet in store . just as the 11th and everett street property was settled , the lodge received an offer to buy it for $ 6500 . the membership was stunned and rejected the proposal . but the building committee began to look at alternative properties in the neighborhood , just in case . they found three , including a 100\u00d7100 - ft lot for $ 6 , 000 at the corner of 11th and couch . in march a new offer to buy the everett street site was received \u2013 this time for $ 7250 . it was an offer the lodge could not and did not refuse . franz bakery expanded there shortly after .\nthe grand opening celebration was thoroughly covered by the local press , the oregonian and the oregon journal . the mayor of portland , george baker was on hand for the festivities as was the president of the supreme lodge of sons of norway , judge t . o gilbert and the district 2 president , halvor quam . the program included speeches , musical and singing performances in both english and norwegian , and a dance to the lloyd nichols 7 - pc . orchestra . fifty new members were inducted into the lodge , and a chicken dinner was held the following day .\n\u201csome of the best entertainment this or any city could witness was that presented by the united norwegian societies\u2026 . . the folk dance by a graceful girl in costume before a great oil painting of a norwegian fjord was so realistic that one might imagine himself on the shore of the liberty -

packed with information about the viking settlers , and it uses life - like replicas of icelandic historical figures to recreate key moments in iceland\u2019s history .\nas you enter the museum , you are given an audioguide , in either icelandic , english , french , german , russian , spanish or swedish , that plays automatically as you walk past the realistic figures .\nthis is a great stop either before or after a tour of the country as you\u2019ll learn about the rich history of the places you are about to visit or have just seen , such as how iceland\u2019s parliament , al\u00feingi , was founded in 930 at \u00feingvellir national park , and what lead to a law - speaker named \u00feorgeir to throw idols into go\u00f0afoss waterfall .\nthe replicas in the museum were created based on descriptions found in the viking sagas and chronicles , and the clothes , weapons and everyday objects have all been hand - crafted using traditional methods . make sure you ' ll bring your camera because after the tour , you ' ll have the chance to dress up as a viking in these hand - crafted clothes . helmet , chainmail , sword and all !\non your reykjav\u00edk visit , you have undoubtedly seen the iconic perlan building which towers over the city from the top of a hill in the \u00f6skjuhl\u00ed\u00f0 area . the hemispherical structure has for decades provided visitors with an unmatched , panoramic view of the capital area from its observation deck , and now , guests can also immerse themselves in the wild icelandic nature , without leaving reykjav\u00edk city .\nperlan museum opened its first exhibit , the \u2018 glaciers and ice cave\u2019 exhibition , in july 2017 . the presentation begins with a visit to an ice cave that has been constructed inside one of the hot water tanks on which the perlan dome sits . visitors are urged to use their senses during the tour ; not only watch but to touch the ice , listen to the sounds , and feel the cold . rest assured , you will be provided with warm clothes for the chill .\nafter walking through the labyrinth of ice , guests are lead to the second floor where they will find an interactive wall aimed to show them the forces of the glaciers and the volcanic activity under them . there is also multimedia displays with everything about glaciers , from the microorganisms found in them to the dangers they face due to climate change . a visit to the observation deck is included with the admission fee so that you can enjoy the view of reykjav\u00edk after your tour .\nmore exhibitions are set to open at the perlan museum later this year , all under the name ' wonders of iceland ' . the \u2018land , coast , ocean\u2019 exhibit will use cutting - edge technology to give you insight into the unique nature of iceland , you\u2019ll be able to feel an earthquake and explore the ocean through a virtual fish tank for example , and in the fall a state - of - the - art planetarium will open .\nnothing has been more vital to iceland\u2019s survival than fishing , and so it should come as no surprise that there is a whole museum dedicated to the nation\u2019s maritime history . you can check out the country\u2019s seafaring heritage at the reykjav\u00edk maritime museum in the newly renovated part of the reykjav\u00edk ' s harbour , known as the grandi area .\nthe museum gives a good insight into the life and times of icelandic fishermen by displaying great old fishing artefacts , detailed model ships , mock - ups of wireless signal rooms , and a compass repair shop .\nyou\u2019ll gain a deeper understanding of this little island nation as you learn about the country ' s dramatic relationship with the sea , the scale of hardship the fishermen had to endure , and the gradual growth of modern iceland through fishing .\nof course , there is also a section of the cod wars ( not to be confused with the cold war ) , a series of confrontations between iceland and the united kingdom on fishing rights . you can even take a tour of \u00f3\u00f0inn , a coast guard vessel that survived three of these wars .\na fairly new exhibition has opened in the historical austurb\u00e6jarb\u00ed\u00f3 building , just a stone\u2019s throw away from the hlemmur bus station . the tales from iceland exhibit uses a series of cinematically beautiful videos to provide visitors with a unique perspective on the country .\nthis clever exhibit shows these taped stories on two floors with a total of 14 screens , each with a set of sofas in front of them . you are also offered free coffee or hot chocolate so you can wander around with a cup in your hand , enjoying the show .\non the lower level , you\u2019ll find the \u2018nature exhibition\u2019 where you get to see the icelandic landscape and history through other people ' s eyes . assorted videos made by tourist are scattered around , describing their ( often hilarious ) experience of the country and the people living here .\nupstairs in the \u2018news exhibition , \u2019 you get the locals perspective from news videos . here you\u2019ll learn everything you need to know about iceland , from politics , history , and geology , to music , sports and culture . you\u2019ll see real footage from the cod wars , a commercial starring lazytown\u2019s sportacus and former first lady michelle obama , and everything in between .\non the hverfisgata street in downtown reykjav\u00edk , you can find a large and beautiful building known as safnah\u00fasi\u00f0 or culture house . the stark - white house holds a collection which includes paintings , sculptures , and other works of art , alongside cultural pieces and historical artefacts . all designed to give you the history and perspective needed to appreciate the icelandic nation as it is today .\nthe permanent exhibition , ' points of view ' , gives guests a chance to delve into the collection of six different cultural institutions , from contemporary art to thousand - year - old relics . the suggested tour starts on the fourth floor , and the layout will take you from room to room and down the floors , exploring each wing of the house . there are plenty of chairs along the way if you need to take a rest .\nthe latest in icelandic art is on the fourth floor , and medieval items are on the ground floor . however , the collections are arranged thematically , rather than chronologically , to paint a picture of various aspects of icelandic culture and way of life . there are also special , temporary exhibitions in a separate room on the third floor which provide a greater insight into a specific topic .\nmany consider the culture house to be amongst iceland ' s most beautiful buildings and great care was taken in designing both its interior and exterior . it was built in 1906 - 1908 by danish architect johannes magdahl nielsen to house the national library . nielsen ' s colleague , frederick ki\u00f6rboe designed the oak furniture that can still be found there .\nthe culture house offers a free web guide , and if you don ' t have a smartphone , you can rent one on location . your ticket to the culture house is also valid for the national museum and vice versa .\nwhen exploring the nation\u2019s culture and history , one cannot forget about icelandic music . at the bottom of bankastr\u00e6ti street in downtown reykjav\u00edk hides the icelandic punk museum where you can learn about this country\u2019s punk scene , chronicled from the early years to the new wave uprising , which paved the way for some of the nation ' s most beloved artists , including bj\u00f6rk and sigur r\u00f3s .\nmuch like the punk scene itself , the museum is underground , in a location that couldn\u2019t be more fitting for a museum of this kind , a former public toilet . the toilets themselves were shut down in 2006 only to be reopened a decade later by johnny rotten of the sex pistols to tell the story of icelandic punk .\nthe stalls serve as mini display rooms for the collection of photographs , posters , handbills , stage equipment , and instruments . there are streaming videos of classic club shows , and headphones hang from the ceiling , each one playing a different icelandic punk song . you can also try on leather jackets and strike a pose with a guitar or behind the drums .\nthe settlement exhibition is another underground museum , but there is a practical reason for its subterranean location as it is built around an archaeological dig . in 2001 , renovations of the nearby buildings were about to start when archaeologists found a few relics which turned out to be the oldest remains of human habitation in reykjav\u00edk , including a tenth - century viking longhouse .\nthe longhouse is believed to have been inhabited from 930 - 1000 ad , and older still is a boundary wall at the back of the museum , built around 871 ad . what is equally impressive is that these buildings were found at the very place where iceland\u2019s first settlers made his home , as described in the old icelandic sagas which were written down some 200 years after the event .\nat the exhibition , you can walk around the unearthed longhouse and look at various artefacts to get a glimpse into early icelandic life . there are multimedia tables which show information about the history and ecology of the area , as well as the daily activities of the residents , such as iron - work and carpentry . there is even a panorama showing you how reykjav\u00edk would have looked at the time of the longhouse .\neach building is different and has its own story . you\u2019ll find homes of people with diverse occupations and social statuses , from a professor ' s resident to a 19th - century home of landless labourers , as well as houses from different time periods , such as traditional turf houses and wwii storage huts .\nto keep with the theme , the employees and tour guides dress in traditional icelandic attire and go about the business of working the farm , which includes tending to sheep , cows and chickens . there is also a children\u2019s room at the museum with traditional mid - century toys for the young ones .\nthe museum is located in \u00e1rb\u00e6r , a suburb of reykjav\u00edk city and although it is a little way out of the city centre , getting there doesn\u2019t need to be all that tricky . if you don\u2019t have your own car , you can simply take one of the city buses which stops in the vicinity of the museum . and if you have a city card , both the bus ride and the entry to the museum is free .\nthe whales of iceland exhibition is a great way to learn all about the whales and dolphins that you might get a chance to see ( or have already seen ) on a whale watching tour in iceland . the museum is located in the grandi area , a short walking distance from the reykjav\u00edk old harbour from which most of the city\u2019s whale watching tours depart .\nthe museum is located in a large warehouse and holds 23 life - size models of the whale species found in icelandic waters , ranging from the small harbour porpoises to the enormous blue whale . the whale replicas hang from the ceiling , are all hand - painted , and each model has personal characteristics based on a real whale found in the ocean . the models are also soft and squishy , and you are allowed to touch them !\nthe exhibition is quite atmospheric ; there is blue lighting and whale noises are played through the sound system which gives you the sense of being underwater . you can also get a better feel of what it\u2019s like to swim alongside orcas or dolphins with the museum\u2019s virtual reality glasses .\nthe museum\u2019s multilingual guidance app can be downloaded to your phone , or you can borrow a tablet at the front test to learn about the biology and habits of these magnificent creatures . but it probably will be the sheer size of the whales that will have you in awe and stick you forever .\nthe national museum houses many treasures of iceland\u2019s history , beginning with the ship in which viking settlers crossed the ocean to their new home , and ending in a modern airport . the vast collection of art and crafts , tools and furniture , religious artefacts and archaeological remains for the permanent exhibition ' making of a nation ' , are organised chronologically so you can easily follow this journey through time .\nthe section describing the settlement era features swords , drinking horns , a bronze figure of the thunder god thor , and the val\u00fej\u00f3fssta\u00f0ur door , a priceless medieval church door on which the legend of lion - knight is carved ."]}

timed deals \u2013 just as the london housing market slumped , slowing the number of home sales .\ni graduated in 2005 from kingston university with a degree in sociology and began my foxtons career as an office co - ordinator in the putney office . one of the best things about the role was that i was part of a fantastic office , helping to make it run smoothly . . . more\nvery impressed with the service - our flat was let to a high calibre tenant within 4 working days of us instructing - before it was even photographed and advertised online . foxtons were extremely helpful , courteous and very quick to respond to calls and emails , which was great for us as first time landlords .\ni have been helped by klaudia to find a place in shoreditch / hoxton area . i just wanted to highlight that she has been amazing during the whole process . very helpful and full of knowledge . even though i have found a place with foxtons stoke newington i would like to give a feedback about how amazing she was .\nreally professional and friendly service throughout ! joshua has been wonderful in helping me find my first home and supporting me through the sometimes - stressful process . he ' s been approachable , knowledgeable and quick in dealing with my queries and meeting my needs . i am completely satisfied with how everything has turned out thanks to josh and foxtons !\nfoxtons seems to have two modes : either overconfident expansion or panicky retrenchment . since 2011 , as the london house price bubble has reinflated , the business has resumed its upward path . but now it is a public company , with a fickle share price , and more of the detail of the estate agent ' s performance is publicly available\nburgess ' s workplace still took some adjusting to .\nit was so clean . in a foxtons branch , you will not find a piece of paper anywhere . you ' re not allowed to leave anything on your desk - everything gets cleared away every night . and you move desks every few weeks . you never feel you can relax .\nright from my first contact with foxtons to the sale of our house the service was first class and we cannot praise natalie and ben enough they were extremely professional and very helpful too . natalie and ben kept us informed every step of the way and this made such a difference to the whole experience making it far less stressful than it could have been .\nthe company declined to comment\non the specifics of this case\n; but went on to say that\nour fees are clearly laid out within our terms and conditions\n; and that work on properties let through foxtons was carried out by\ncarefully vetted and trusted contractors\nwho offered\ncompetitive value\n. the case may end up in court next year .\nfoxtons even advised tony and cherie on the purchase of their \u00a33 . 65m property in connaught square , and then won the job of letting it , presumably claiming they could get the eye - popping \u00a315 , 000 a month . predictably , and embarrassingly for the blairs , this was later reduced to \u00a38 , 000 to get shot of it after a dearth of takers .\ni graduated from leeds university with an economics and philosophy joint honours degree in 2004 . after travelling for a month , i returned to london and started researching job opportunities . the graduate recruitment advertisement described foxtons as an innovative , young and highly driven sales company . this , coupled with the opportunity to earn a very competitive salary - at 21 years of age - meant i was sold !\ni got at least three or four phone calls today ,\nan attorney in the queens borough of new york city who represented sellers listing property with foxtons , richard lovell , said .\nthey were all very concerned . it ' s going to make the logistics more complicated . the attorneys and buyers and sellers are going to have to jump in and do a little more work .\nthis rigid singlemindedness saw him lose his long - time right - hand man , last year - managing director peter rollings . foxtons ' seemingly softer public face and fixer used to deal with the all too regular complaints and is no doubt sorely missed at the moment as dirty secrets such as the doctoring of landlord agreements , lying to customers , and inflating values are caught on camera for the first time .\neight months after the broadcast , and after threatening the bbc with lawsuits , hunt admitted to the guardian that there were\nseveral things we had done in [ the documentary ] that were wrong\n. but he went on ,\ni don ' t think [ they ] were pervasive \u2026 and we straightened those out .\nhe dismissed the allegation that foxtons and alexander hall illegally shared information as\ntotal nonsense\n.\nbut even the briefest of conversations with him quickly demonstrates that behind the white - tooth smiles , there is an inner steeliness that has made him top dog in the world ' s most vibrant residential property market . as the head of one rival agency , ivor dickinson at douglas & gordon , has observed , fellow estate agents are\nvery scared\nof criticising foxtons .\nit ' s like being rude about the kray twins .\na single big sale in nearby knightsbridge kept foxtons afloat . in 1982 , with the economy finally growing again , as the thatcher government ' s heavy - handed move away from manufacturing towards property and service industries belatedly began to yield results , the one - year - old estate agent opened a second office , in nearby fulham : like notting hill an inner - city area that was part of the emergent , glossier london . hunt also hired a lieutenant , peter rollings .\nbut then foxtons ' owner and chairman , jon hunt , who last year moved into\nbillionaires ' row\nin kensington palace gardens and promptly restyled himself jonathan , is not a man to be embarrassed by his employees . not unless they start to affect business , that is . and in the past few days staff say there have , astonishingly , been no signs of that .\nfar from it ,\nsays one employee ,\nit ' s as if the publicity has helped us .\nso , although last week ' s docu - mentary caught some of foxton ' s less admirable practices on film , it may not spell disaster for the agency at all . those who use foxtons probably even expect their estate agent to be less than perfectly honest - so long as it negotiates the best price . as one admirer of hunt ' s puts it :\nhe has a way of doing business that doesn ' t appeal to everyone but certainly works . he doesn ' t need to be liked to succeed .\nin 2005 , hunt ' s lieutenant peter rollings left to set up a competitor , marsh & parsons . by 2007 even hunt had had enough .\ni was working 14 hours a day \u2026 i was in my 50s and it ' s a young man ' s game ,\nhe told business life later . he sold his creation to a private equity firm , bc partners , and shifted his energies to renovating heveningham hall , a country estate in suffolk , successfully investing his foxtons fortune in london property and , as if awarding himself a final\ncar target\n, collecting ferraris .\noverall last year , foxtons earned \u00a360m in commission , and even after hunt paid himself a \u00a34m dividend ( plus a \u00a3302 , 171 salary ) it made \u00a31 . 78m in profits . now said to be worth \u00a3350m , at first sight the reclusive 52 - year - old does not cut an imposing figure . slightly built , obsessively neat , with understated suits and ties , he is rarely photographed and has gone to great lengths to keep his name , and especially his wife and their four children , out of the press . so it is not unknown for him to be mistaken by visitors for a junior employee .\nthis site uses cookies , to find out how click here . by continuing to use this site you agree to our use of cookies .\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 0 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nprivate equity firm bc partners loses control of london estate agent , less than three years after buying it for \u00a3390m .\nthe london -

reporting of tss to doctors and the cdc was sketchy at best , with cases not meeting all of the criteria for the clinical definition . he believed \u201cthe only way that you could make a decision as to whether this might have been toxic shock syndrome was to get to the physician , talk with him , and then actually see the medical records , go through these medical records\u201d [ 46 ] .\nno anthology of the toxic shock years would be complete without the zimbo chimps , another release on our subsidiary label , budget ranch . featuring ex -

fetched . 4 yet , the live bacteria and synthetic tampon energetically interacted and were co - factors in producing illness . as jain points out , design flaws may materialize as visible requiring compensation or remain invisible and go unrecognized . it is exactly the invisibility of a reactive gendered technology in the form of a tampon and injury manifesting in women\u2019s bodies identified as toxic shock syndrome that contributed to this health crisis .\nby the turn of the century , toxic ranch ' s first great era was winding down . sassenberger remembers that\nvinyl sales were dropping off\u2014cds were dominating the market and the music itself was not quite as exciting in the underground . there were a lot of cookie -

[ * ]\ni am calling the first part of the film a dream because that is what most people call it , and because it has elements that clearly belong to the fantasy of the character in the second part . but it doesn\u2019t have to be a dream : it could just be a tale she tells herself , or a long memory , or a memory tipping over into fiction . all we can really say is that the levels of proposed reality within the film clearly shift ; and that naomi watts , who used to be betty , becomes diane . diane , to put it at its simplest , has invented betty .\ndiane is an actress who has lost her love , a woman , to a director ( and perhaps to another actress on the side , unless this is diane\u2019s fantasy ) . in the intervals of seeing her affair go wrong and plotting vengeance , diane creates the story of the movie\u2019s first two hours . betty , a girl from deep river , ontario , has won a jitterbugging competition \u2013 that\u2019s what all those antique dancers and silhouettes were about at the start of the film \u2013 and has come to hollywood to try her luck . her luck includes finding the amnesiac survivor of an assassination attempt in the apartment she is borrowing , and the two women go on a quest to find the survivor\u2019s lost past . the quest turns up various memories and locations , including a magical theatre and a corpse that may belong to diane herself \u2013 a figure of fear that has crept from one story into another .\nthere is quite a bit of aimless hocus - pocus in the movie involving blue keys and a mysterious blue box . this is presumably meant to remind us that lynch is a magician and can do what he likes with his film , in or out of the metaphysical cabaret . the plotline about the director - character within the movie and his difficulties with the mafia , who have a strong interest in a particular bit of casting , feels a bit thin too . but the most extraneous - looking scenes in the whole work , apart from being beautifully , slowly , acted and shot , are also the least extraneous to the film\u2019s preoccupations .\ntwo men sit in a diner on sunset boulevard . one looks perturbed and mentions a dream he has had \u2013 twice . he describes the dream . it has him sitting in this same diner , his companion also in the room but over by the till , and the dreamer perceives ( he says he sees through a wall ) a ghastly - looking old man behind the building controlling events , terrifying everyone . the dreamer\u2019s waking hope is never to see this man\u2019s face \u2018ever , outside of a dream\u2019 . this problem would seem to be easily solvable and the two men leave the diner to encounter the nothing they expect to find . as they turn the last corner to reach the back wall they see a ghastly - looking old man , all long hair , blackened face and stereotyped horror , a sort of movie caveman . both dreams and reality can be a little predictable .\ntowards the end of the film diane sits in the same diner , in the process of paying a hitman to kill her ex - friend camilla . the man who told the dream earlier stands outside , looking austere , saying nothing . behind the diner the ghastly - looking man sits by a fire , apparently using some kind of voodoo to manufacture the tiny figures who are going to creep under diane\u2019s door and drive her to suicide .\nthe structure of thought here resembles that of david cronenberg\u2019s the brood ( 1979 , also newly released by criterion ) , where a therapy that deals in working out one\u2019s rage creates a set of small creatures who go off and beat in the heads of people you don\u2019t like . the point , i take it , is not that dreams always come true , or that fact is more fantastic than fiction , but that nothing in the mind is permanently guaranteed not to find a partner or echo in reality . \u2018whatever is thinkable is also possible , \u2019 as wittgenstein said , and just because you dream of a scary old man in the neighbourhood doesn\u2019t mean there are no scary old men in the neighbourhood .\n[ * ] david lynch : the man from another place by dennis lim ( houghton mifflin harcourt , 192 pp . , $ 20 , march , 978 0 544 34375 7 ) .\nsome promotions may be combined ;

journal publishers would have been included in the sample . instead we chose a stratified multistage sampling based on the size of the publishers by first splitting the publishers into four size strata ( 100 + journals , 10\u201399 journals , 2\u20139 journals and single - journal ) and then randomly sampling publishers within each of these strata . the sampling process is illustrated in fig .\ndescribes the regional distribution of the 262 sampled corresponding authors , which is highly skewed to asia and africa . around 35 % of authors are from india , followed by nigerian authors ( 8 % ) and us authors ( 6 % ) .\nasia publishing has just put out 5 more bilingual translations of korean literature o n top of the 75 they\u2019ve produced over the last two years . there will soon be a web page with the books , reviews , author pictures / interviews , etc\u2026 .\nasia book house , educational publishers was established in the year 1984 with a commitment to enhance the academic excellence of the learning and teaching community with books of excellence . we ventured into the field of publishing with a handful of english workbooks . the enthusiastic reception our books received gave us sufficient impetus to publish textbooks as well . handful of workbooks based on english readers published by the govt . of andhra pradesh .\nbeall j . beall\u2019s list : potential , possible , or probable predatory scholarly open -

journal strata , considering that such journals are more likely to produce more articles , more journals ( n = 127 ) than in the other strata were fully sampled so that more reliable results concerning the total article volumes from this stratum could be obtained . this resulted in a total sample of 613 journals .\nthis study is , however , concerned with a peculiar sub - class of oa journals using apcs , made possible by the global reach and cost - effectiveness of the internet . publishers of this type of journal seem to be in the scholarly publishing business only in order to collect apcs and provide rapid publishing without proper peer review for authors who need publications in their cvs . the information on the internet about the journals is often strongly misleading , and the publishers spam academics all over the globe with requests for submissions and reviews and for joining editorial boards .\n) . the large publishers dominated the market in 2010 and still in 2011 , but after that their absolute article numbers only increased slightly . in 2012 , journals from the 10\u201399 stratum rapidly took over market domination and have consolidated that position even when the two smallest strata also showed continuous fast growth .\nas of 1 january 2013 the production , distribution and sale of books by kitlv ( including verhandelingen en caribbean series ) and the publication of our journals bki and nwig are the responsibility of brill publishers . both journals are fully sponsored by the learned society kitlv , and therefore charges for open access publishing are waived .\nwe found 11 , 873 journals , published by 996 publishers ( of which 447 publish just one journal ) . of these journals , we estimate that around 67 % ( around 8 , 000 journals ) were active , in the sense that they published at least one article . the share of empty journal websites was particularly noticeable among the journals from publishers with journal portfolios of 100 or more journals ( 46 % ) and much lower in the smaller publisher strata ( 10\u201399 , 23 % ; 2\u20139 , 18 % ; and single , 2 % ) . the problem of empty placeholder journals is a problem specific to predatory journals .\nthe administrative directive to wrest control over history textbooks from private publishers came after months of heated public debate over how to teach children history . the controversy has focused largely on how to characterize the history of modern korea , including japan\u2019s colonial rule in the early 20th century and south korea\u2019s tumultuous , often bloody march toward democracy .\nour use of beall\u2019s list of predatory publishers as the main external data source can be questioned , since the list is highly controversial . our choice of using it as a starting point for data collection was dictated by practical resource constraints . nevertheless , the process of searching the websites demonstrated tangibly to us that the publishers and sampled journals usually fulfilled several of beall\u2019s criteria , although we did not systematically record our impressions . the multi - tier sampling method used was the most realistic option to keep the time used for manually searching for data reasonable , and also to enable us to study the variations between different publisher strata , which proved to be considerable .\nmayeda , sengaku the way to liberation : indological studies in japan ( in two volumes ) , volume 1 ( in collaboration with y . matsunami , m . tokunaga and h . marui ) new delhi : manohar publishers & distributors , 2000 xv , 289 p . ; 22 cm . isbn : 8173043671 ( set ) isbn : 8173043744\nkitlv publications are all the books published by brill academic publishers in collaboration with kitlv . only members of our vereniging / association are able to order their books through kitlv . in addition to the usual discount on kitlv books , they will receive a 25 % discount on all books published by brill . in addition , kitlv members can order a\nour data showed a big difference in apc levels depending on the stratum . the apcs by predators are , nevertheless , much lower than the apcs by more credible oa publishers , which on the other hand often offer waivers from the charges to authors from developing countries . the average of doaj journals with apcs is around 900\u20131 , 000 usd [\na side - effect of this transformation was the prospect it offered for a more radical rethinking of revenue models . new innovative publishers repositioned themselves as service providers to the authors , publishing with them , rather than seeing themselves as content providers to readers . in this model , authors pay the publishers for their services , including that the articles become freely accessible to anybody with internet access ( open access , oa ) . other than that , the peer review practices , layout , indexing , and so on , remain largely the same . a major difference is nevertheless that the journals are published only in electronic format and that the delay from submission to publishing is usually shorter compared to traditional scholarly journals .\n] for determining if a publisher / journal is predatory . the list is rather long with 48 criteria , for either the publisher or individual journal , and is grouped under four major headings ( editor and staff , business management , integrity and other ) . the criteria cover a vast array of direct and indirect indicators of the lack of a rigorous scientific quality control of the published articles as well as of the publishers trying to establish a reputable image in order to attract submissions . for instance , it is often very difficult to find out in which country the publisher operates in practice . at the same time , authors and institutions are often assumed to base their evaluation of journals at least in part based on the publisher\u2019s location , with a preference for us and western european locations . another indicator is that some publishers have rapidly created vast portfolios of journals covering just about all fields of science , many of which lack content . a third is that many publishers advertise very rapid turnaround times from submission to publication , which would defeat the purpose of peer review by competent researchers .\npredatory publishers have caused a lot of negative publicity for oa journals using apcs , partly due to the spam email that they constantly send out to researchers and partly due to a number of scandals involving intentionally faulty manuscripts that have passed their quality control . predatory oa is regularly discussed and warnings are issued in academic journals , in particular in editorials of scholarly journals [\nshows the development of the average number of articles per year . the overall averages grew from 30 articles per journal in 2010 to 53 articles in 2012 , but after that the number seems to have stabilized . the overall average in each stratum conceals the fact that the average is much higher for single - journal and 2\u20139 publishers than for the two uppermost strata .\nan interesting finding is the very low share of south america , both among publishers ( 0 . 5 % ) and corresponding authors ( 2 . 2 % ) . it would no doubt be an interesting question to study the reasons for this , which could be a combination of factors , where the infrastructure in latin america differs from countries like india and nigeria .\nregion : regional studies of russia , eastern europe , and central asia is a peer - reviewed international journal that explores the history and current political , economic , and social affairs of the entire former soviet bloc . in particular , the journal focuses on various facets of transformation at the local and national levels in the aforementioned region , as well as the changing character of their relationships with the rest of the world in the context of glocalization . this journal distinguishes itself from others in similar fields by its ( g ) locally oriented perspective . this journal regularly gives space to articles on concrete local issues written by local eurasianist scholars .\n] . this has led to a niche market for some local publishers , which have managed to get their journals into web of science , in the wake of thomson reuter\u2019s drive to index more regional journals during the latter half of the previous decade . djuric sent a purposefully flawed manuscript to one such journal , in which several of his university colleagues had published recently , and got an acceptance the next day with instruction on how to pay the apc .\nthe number of oa journals charging authors ( using article processing charges , apcs ) and the number of articles published by them has rapidly risen in the last decade , and some journals have reached a high scientific status in their field . publishers have also started experimenting with novel forms of peer review , in particular in so - called \u2018megajournals\u2019 , which only check for scientific rigor and validity , not for the significance of the results , which is left to the readers to decide [\nafter an initial scan of all predatory publishers and journals included in the so - called beall\u2019s list , a sample of 613 journals was constructed using a stratified sampling method from the total of over 11 , 000 journals identified . information about the subject field , country of publisher , article processing charge and article volumes published between 2010 and 2014 were manually collected from the journal websites . for a subset of journals , individual articles were sampled in order to study the country affiliation of authors and the publication delays .\nthe average and median publication time for journals and articles published in 2014 ( the two measures were calculated in the same way as for apcs ) were calculated . the results show that predatory publishers take an average of 3 . 6 months to publish if we calculated over journals and 3 . 3 months weighted by number of articles in 2014 . however , we consider the median ( 2 . 7 overall ) a more meaningful metric , since that eliminates the effects of a few outlier articles with very long delays .\nin the scatterplot of the sampled journals , there are four outlier journals ( indicated by numbers ) , which break the clear pattern of diminishing article volumes as a function of increasing apcs . journal 1 , 3 and 4 are published by large publishers ( 100 + ) , and in particular journal 4 ( remote sensing ) , which sticks out the most , has a jcr impact factor of 2 . 6 . journal 2 is the \u2018hijacked\u2019 journal experimental & clinical cardiology , which in 2014 still retained its impact factor .\nafter an initial scan of all predatory publishers and journals included in the so - called beall ' s list , a sample of 613 journals was constructed using a stratified sampling method from the total of over 11 , 000 journals identified . information about the subject field , country of publisher , article processing charge and article volumes published between 2010 and 2014 were manually collected from the journal websites . for a subset of journals , individual articles were sampled in order to study the country affiliation of authors and the publication delays .\nin this study , we used a multistage stratified sampling method to take a look into the predatory publishers and journals on beall\u2019s list and generated their development trend over time . we found that the problems caused by predatory journals are rather limited and regional , and believe that the publishing volumes in such journals will cease growing in the near future . open access publishing is rapidly gaining momentum , in particular through the actions of major research funders and policy makers . this should create better opportunities for researchers from countries where predatory publishing is currently popular , to get published in journals of higher quality , in particular since most journals have a policy to waive the apcs for authors from developing countries .\nit\u2019s called the \u201ck -

issued textbooks , prompting criticism that president park geun - hye \u2019s conservative government was returning education to the country\u2019s authoritarian past .\nfor years , conservative critics have charged that left - leaning authors poisoned the current textbooks and students\u2019 minds with their \u201cideological biases . \u201d the critics were especially upset with the way the textbooks described north korea and the military dictators who once ruled south korea , including ms . park\u2019s father , park chung - hee , who seized power in a 1961 coup and remained in control using torture and martial law until 1979 .\nbut opponents of ms . park , including some civic groups and regional education leaders , vowed to protest the government\u2019s move , which they said would embarrass the country globally by creating a textbook system similar to the one in north korea .\nthe main opposition party said it would work on a bill to ban the government from writing textbooks . but ms . park\u2019s party , which dominates the national assembly , supports government - issued textbooks .\n\u201cthe house is not just leaking or requires small repairs here and there , but its very foundation and design are wrong , \u201d the vice prime minister and education minister , hwang woo - yea , said during a nationally televised news conference on monday , explaining why textbooks written by the government should replace the current books .\nms . park\u2019s critics said the idea smacked of her father\u2019s dictatorship , during which the government wrote history textbooks and used them to glorify his coup as a \u201crevolution\u201d and to justify his prolonged rule . these critics fear that ms . park\u2019s government will use the new textbooks to stifle opinion and whitewash the legacy of the old conservative elites , including her father , who served as an officer in japan\u2019s colonial military before overseeing south korea\u2019s rapid economic growth .\n\u201cthe father staged a military coup , and now the daughter is engineering a coup in history education , \u201d said park han - yong , a chief researcher at the center for historical truth and justice , based in seoul . \u201cthis is a history coup that supporters of pro - japanese collaboration and the past dictatorship have been preparing for 10 years . \u201d\nthe center recently revealed documents that it said showed that the father of kim moo - sung , the leader of the president\u2019s party , was a rich businessman and pro - japanese collaborator who once urged koreans to make donations to finance warplanes for japan\u2019s world war ii military .\nreflecting a prevailing conservative view here , mr . hwang said on monday that textbooks should focus on teaching \u201cthe proud history of south korea , which has achieved both democratization and industrialization in the shortest time in the world history . \u201d his deputy , kim jae - choon , said current textbooks uncritically cited north korean propaganda and failed to make it clear that the korean war was started by the north .\n\u201cone textbook , for example , used the term \u2018dictatorial\u2019 only twice when writing about north korea but as many as 28 times about south korea\u201d under its military rulers , mr . kim said .\nunder park chung - hee , south korea required schools to use a single government - issued history textbook . but since 2010 , schools have been free to choose among several privately published textbooks , although the education ministry still has to approve the books .\nsome of the books delved into long - hidden aspects of the recent past : collaboration with japanese colonialists , mass killings of civilians during the korean war and the abuse of political dissidents under the dictators . conservatives criticized what they called \u201cmasochistic historical views\u201d in the books and accused the authors of inculcating youngsters with \u201cleft - leaning nationalism\u201d that they said emphasized ethnic affinity with north korea while casting an unfavorable eye on the role of the united states in modern korean history .\nthe political opposition said the government\u2019s decision deviated from the standard practice in advanced countries . they called on mr . hwang to step down .\non monday , mr . hwang said his ministry would soon invite a panel of historians to write new textbooks , as well as a broad range of people to review them , to ensure that the books would be \u201cobjective and balanced . \u201d\nif you need more information on how to select a bisac code go to our , we have a page that walks you through the process . if you can ' t find the code you ' re looking for please go back and review other major subjects to find an alternate code or use our suggestion form to suggest revisions to the next version of the list .\nstep 2 : determine the specific term which describes your book . an asterisk ( * ) denotes a heading that is new for the 2017 edition .\nmultiple subjects in this and other sections may be used to describe a work fully : for example , a book about the spanish civil war could be assigned\nhistory / europe / spain & portugal\nand\nhistory / military / wars & conflicts ( other )\n; a book about u . s . diplomacy in the 19th century could be assigned\nhistory / united states / 19th century\nand\npolitical science / international relations / diplomacy\nif your title does not have subject content , i . e . a blank book , please use the non -

of - class real - time predictions for driver arrival and task completion time . at peak , we\u2026\nonfleet ' s business - to - business model is meant to help local merchants big and small get into the on -

as - a - service product charges companies each month on the basis of how many deliveries they make . the software is free for companies that do 75 deliveries or fewer a month , but many do far more than that ; onfleet ' s largest client does more than 100 , 000 .\nchat with your drivers and dispatchers seamlessly from within the onfleet dashboard and driver app . send and receive voice notes and attachments , and broadcast messages to all drivers . learn more\nonfleet can connect to your other tools to streamline your delivery operations , from checkout to doorstep . use zapier to connect onfleet out - of - the box , to dozens of applications including shopify and google sheets , no coding required . you can also integrate directly with our robust restful api for a more custom integration . check out our api docs to get started .\nto be clear , onfleet does not provide the drivers \u2014 it simply offers the software platform to handle all of the logistics that go into providing delivery services . most of the deliveries onfleet facilitates are in food and beverage , like groceries , prepared meals , alcohol and food from restaurants . in april 2015 , the company said it had facilitated just 100 , 000 deliveries for the year .\nof course , the fact that customers are relying on onfleet to provide their core services makes them less open about that fact , which has kept the startup and its competitors ( like trackin or dispatch ) out of the limelight thus far . in fact , onfleet isn\u2019t able to discuss its largest customer publicly \u2014 though it can say it has facilitated more than 100 , 000 deliveries this year .\nonfleet has raised $ 2 . 3 million from investors like crunchfund , semil shah and winklevoss capital . in december , a similar company called bringg , but with an emphasis on bigger businesses , recently raised $ 5 million , bringing its total amount of funding up to $ 7 . 5 million . while onfleet does serve some business - to - business needs , it\u2019s bread and butter is business to consumer .\nbusinesses use their own fleet for delivery , but it ' s our software that connects the dots and breaks down barriers of private fleets ,\nsays naim , who is also onfleet ' s ceo .\nonfleet recently raised $ 2 million from crunchfund , winklevoss capital , the stanford - startx , and several individual investors , which the team will use to expand its purview beyond startups just raising their seed round or series a .\nonfleet ' s powerful connections feature allows you to link your operations with fulfillment partners for seamless joint management . tasks can be created by one organization and executed by another , all while maintaining a unified customer experience . learn more\nnaim says that onfleet is looking both up - and down - market as it looks to expand . on one front , the team is working to bring on enterprise clients ( think macy\u2019s or bloomingdale\u2019s ) who either already have fleet but outdated field management systems or whose businesses lend themselves to a delivery option . on the other end , naim told techcrunch that \u201cthe longer term vision is to go to any merchant and make it easy for them to have deliveries via [ an onfleet - provisioned ] driver network . \u201d\nmake manual routing a thing of the past with onfleet ' s fully integrated route optimization tool . our routing algorithm takes into account team membership , central hubs , timing constraints , driver schedules , vehicle capacities , and traffic data to save you time and money in the field . learn more\nfounded by a stanford business school student , a stanford computer science dropout , and a university of new brunswick computer science grad , onfleet powers thousands of deliveries every day for apps like hellofresh , which delivers recipes and premeasured fresh ingredients to prepare them ; topshelf , an austin - based beer , wine , and liquor delivery service ; meadow and canary , which deliver medical marijuana ; and lugg , provider of on - demand moving . onfleet ' s software connects local merchants and delivery apps with networks of couriers and drivers , and manages the deliveries , forming the backbone of the on - demand economy .\na large factor contributing to the rise of these on - demand and delivery services is the emergence of a handful of startups offering backend infrastructure suited to the task . one such company is onfleet , who provides a white - label backend specifically built for the task of coordinating deliveries with a fleet of couriers out in the field .\nonfleet co - founder and ceo khaled naim says the company primarily serves startups who want to offer delivery but for whom the skill isn\u2019t a \u201ccore competency . \u201d he uses customers meadow and canary as examples : those teams can focus on working with dispensaries to provide better products and faster deliveries \u2014 the app that routes drivers to their delivery destination isn\u2019t the biggest factor to keeping their customers happy .\nindeed , the on - demand economy has given birth to hundreds of companies that offer the ease and convenience of home delivery for the things you ' re too lazy to get or do yourself . but how do all these companies handle the logistics of getting a product or service from a local merchant to the smartphone - clutching customer waiting at home ? increasingly , they ' re turning to yet another startup : san francisco - based delivery - management software provider onfleet .\nas the on - demand economy started to blossom , they found that startup delivery apps were trying to reinvent the wheel each time when it came to software logistics layers - - driver apps , real - time tracking , and communication with customers . in december 2013 , they decided to tweak addy ' s capabilities to cater to those companies , and onfleet was born .\nwe decided to make a [ programming interface ] for all these companies ,\nnaim says .\nthat way they can scale their services faster without building software that has already been built .\nbetween ride - hailing apps , food delivery services , and the random niche services for getting things like massages on - demand , smartphones users in big cities are starting to expect seemingly anything and everything with the tap of a button .\nthe first few years of the \u201cuber for x\u201d trend involved a lot of rebuilding the wheel for startups willing to experiment with the concept . now , it seems like there\u2019s another app delivering cookies or weed launching each week .\nfacilitates communication between \u201chome base\u201d and couriers , letting drivers know when it\u2019s time to pick up another batch of cookies set for delivery . it also enables communication with recipients , providing the interface for tracking a courier with your delivery , estimating the time until delivery , and letting users contact the courier to handle odd pick - up situations .\nin addition to addressing new markets , naim says the team is working on several major core features that should roll out over the next several months , including driver behavior analytics , driver background checks through services like checkr , and route optimization .\nif you need furniture for your apartment , there ' s an app for that . when you want alcohol delivered to your door , there are about 10 apps for that . and if you need laundry dropped off , your winter wardrobe put into storage , or a fresh supply of medical marijuana , there are dozens of apps that offer those services .\nintegrated into these on - demand apps , the software helps the companies delegate jobs to their delivery fleet or to third - party courier services , communicate with their customers when a driver is on the way , and track orders in real time . the company , which was founded by david vetrano , mikel carmenes cavia , and khaled naim in 2012 , had been in stealth mode until late april when it publicly launched with a $ 2 million funding round from winklevoss capital , crunchfund , and stanford - startx fund , as well as several angel investors .\nnaim was born in the u . s . , but his family soon moved to london and later settled in dubai . with parents who were in real estate and oil , he witnessed the boomtown expansion of commerce in the region . he says when delivery services started to become popular , it threw the postal system off .\nstreet addresses in the middle east are either nonexistent or very difficult to communicate ,\nhe says .\nif you order food , you provide your phone number and the driver calls you when he ' s on the way . it isn ' t very efficient .\nafter naim returned to the u . s . to get his mba at stanford , he met vetrano and brought in cavia , whom he knew from high school . in 2012 , the trio built addy - - a startup letting users share their exact address with a simple url that links to a map with directions and notes - - at stanford ' s accelerator program , startx . it was a rough prototype , but they had paying customers almost right away .\nit ' s super expensive to do delivery -

controlled model - car designs .\nwithin a few years , in america , miniature petrol engines were being put into cars , but a greater need for control was required . circular cable ( tether ) tracks were built and by 1940 speeds of 60mph were being achieved . the american cars tended to be manufactured as kits by such companies as dooling bros and ohlsson & rice . meanwhile , in england , there appears to have been much more reliability on the engineering skills of modellers and scratch build cars were much in evidence . today tether cars from this period have become collectors pieces and can change hands for not inconsiderable sums of money . one short coming of this type of racing was that only one car ran at a time , against the clock .\nthe innovative serpent true motion centax clutch is fitted . serpent as inventor of the original centax clutch , has developed the clutch over the years and the current version excels in power throughput , reliability and eas of setting . the standard verison comes with aluminium clutch bell and hard anodized clutch -

the losi 8ight 2 . 0 gets really good reviews but are they really $ 200 better than the associated rc8 ? i am also real curious if the associated rc8 is worth $ 200 more than an ofna lx2 or a hyper 7 or the losi 810 ? ugh ! ! ! so many directions here i know . am i really getting a better car at the $ 500 range or are these older $ 300 budget cars just as good ? it seems like i am looking between 2 price points $ 300 / $ 500 but i have no clue the differences if any . is the rc market like any other technology and every 6 months upgraded ? or is this untrue in rc and a year or two old car is not much different than newer models ? analysis paralysis . . .\nwe are also proud that our in - house racing experience ( spanning over 30 years ! ) means we can offer advice and support on your purchases , to ensure you get the best out of your car ! we hope you found what you needed . if not , please email us , or give us a call and we will do our best to get it for you .\n- new style manual in landscape orientation to have more space to explain all , and have correct layout for screen use as well . full color version with additional detailed views and notes , and also showing the hardware in real size on each page in full color pdf style . its available online and also on a nice small usb stick with serpent logo in the kit .\nthe shockabsorbers are the latest serpent rcm units with membrames . the threaded houses with setting - nuts ( or - ring inside ) makes ride height changes easy and precise . the front and rear shock are identical . the rcm shocks are very smooth , and easy to assemble and fill . the shocksprings are selected , matched , flatgrinded , colorcoded units , equal length front and rear .\nthe brake moved to the rear axle , next to the solid axle pully . this reduces the inertia effect of the brakedisc a lot because the rear axle spins much slower than the twospeed shaft . also the brake - stress on the rear belt is almost gone . it\u2019s a very compact system and well protected against dirt , but still open enough to allow for sufficient coolng . the swimming ventilated brake - disk rotates on the rear axle and the springloaded cam - operated brake pads will provide all the stopping power you may need . the race brake pad material is baked on strong steel plates and allows very precise braking with lots of brake - feel / feedback . instead of a cable we opted for the well - proven wire - linkage of all serpent cars .\nwow decisions decisions . . . . i appreciate the recommendations but i am swimming now with so many models to consider . assoc rc8 . 2 / dtrax 835b / hpi d8s / ofna lx2 / losi 810 / hyper 7 and why is it that the mfgs always state speeds with cars but not really buggies ?

what else should i be looking at ? is hpi still good quality or junk ? help me out here . . . i just want a couple of good fast buggies that myself and the boy can run hard and put away wet . i would like to be in the $ 400 to $ 450 ballpark but i will go a bit higher for better quality . thanks !\n- the light machined aluminium motor holder uses a slider which is secured with only one screw , a system which serpent applied from the very beginning in the 811 - be and 977 - e already . the slider plate is a little bit thicker to mount the motor and still clear the mount when sliding . both slider and mount come grey anodised . in case of using the saddle layout , the same motor mount is used , just the centre insert is turned around 180 degrees . so a very smart , integrated and versatile design .\nserpents design team consisting of michael salven ( multiple world and european champion ) , and billy easton ( world en multiple us champion ) uses state - of - the - art 3d design software ( pro - engineer and solid works ) . the famous heemstede race track is very close by and offers a superb location for most of the test - work . many times the test - team travels to other tracks or even abroad to do final testing under many different circumstances . serpent team - drivers are also involved in test and development work .\nthe company was officially founded in 1980 as a brand name to berton bv , named after a combination its founders , pieter ber voets and ron ton who were both radio controlled car racers . [ 1 ] the pair built their first rc car in 1972 , using a kyosho dash 1 chassis modified by themselves , [ 2 ] then in 1977 , the duo started to develop their first car under the serpent name in 1977 and in 1979 , both bervoets and ton had won separate efra 1 : 8 titles with their mk . iii pro . [ 3 ]\nthe design of the cars varied considerably . some were quite intricate and had in line engines connected to operational gearboxes and had basic suspension . others were simple flat bed ( pan ) chassis with sidewinder engine configuration driving directly on to a gear mounted on the rear axle or on to one of the rear wheels . almost all had centrifugal clutches , this was to become a roar requirement , but dynamic produced a car that had a torque converter with epicyclic gears operated by a lever , to provide drive . over time , maybe as a result of engines producing more power but more likely by the cost of manufacture , chassis design began to move toward the flat bed / sidewinder type . by the mid 1970s flat beds reigned supreme and would do so until 1980 .\nserpent natrix 748 -

e can be changed in very little time to the optional saddle pack lay out , using the same chassis , motor holder and centre diff holder .\nthe optional upgrade set to the saddle pack layout consists of the 2 light battery trays / sideguards to be used with touch - belts or optional carbon top decks , composite chassis stiffeners and the 2 long centre steel shafts . the receiver box moves from the rear section to the front centre . the smart layout and use of universal parts makes changing from block to saddle layout a quick and easy as chassis and motor holder are the same .\nthe sturdy composite chassis stiffener in the rear doubles as geardiff - cover , and an additional stiffener in the centre connects the front and rear end . for more flex that one can be removed , as also the battery - box already adds stiffness in that area . the front stiffener is integrated in the servo / speedo holder and connects to the top - bracket .\ncomposite block style battery tray with self - adhesive bottom foam padding and side foams for battery protection . 3 pieces onetouch straps are included to fasten the lipo in position .\nthe left side - guard on the block layout features and user friendly rail and top cover to nicely guide and protect the longer receiver cable .\nthe completely closed srx8 - e chassis is made in 4mm 7075 t6 aluminium and has flat but chamfered sides , countersunk holes and a kick up . hard coated for durability . the same chassis is used for the block and saddle layout . the chassis stiffness comes from the smart design integrated moulded centre stiffeners as well as the strong and durable sideguards . this package creates the optimal flex characteristics needed .\nthe composite receiver box with cover bolts onto the chassis and fits all modern receivers , even ones with build in antennas . the receiver box can also be mounted in the front centre section , which is normally used in the saddle configuration only . a nice carbon looks decal on the top cover .\nthe combined speedo holder / servo holder is a durable unit which will fit all most popular speedo\u2019s and servo\u2019s easily . the whole unit with mounted gear can be easily taken out for maintenance or cleaning .\nstrong grey coated aluminium machined centre diff holder on one side and the other side is integrated in the motorholder featuring a slide , which can be turned around when used for the saddle layout .\nthe srx -

cover , and an additional stiffener in the centre connects the front and rear end . for more flex that one can be removed , as also the battery - box already adds stiffness in that area . the front stiffener is integrated in the servo / speedo holder and connects to the top - bracket .\n- the dual axis steering system with integrated servo saver is mounted under an angle for less bump steer and a more direct steering feel . the axels are made in lightweight aluminium .\n- it incorporates a helix in order to guarantee the proper operating of the servo saver assembly . the servo saver spring is protected by a dense foam cover , to keep debris out . the spring pre - tension clamp nut can be locked in place to avoid turning loose . ackermann changes can be made easily .\n- the strong moulded differential cases which contain the differential and support the shock towers .\n- the diff - gearcases are bigger in volume to allow more diff oil . the diff now has cavities designed specifically for closed cell foam . this foam will compensate for expansion of the oil , which will allow us to fill the diffs more full , keeping the gears fully engulfed in oil . the cavity where the gears rest has also been redesigned so that there is not low pressure zones outside of the gears . this will keep more oil on the gears even when spinning at high rpms . this in turn will keep the diff more consistent at low and high speeds as well as hot or cold .\n- gears 28 / 14 / 44 : the hard metal 28t and 14t satellite gears have a larger overall diameter , to make sure they are more in oil , making the diff more consistent , smoother and stronger . the steel 44t ring gear is lighter and has a perfect match with the new 28t gear .\n- the steering blocks are made in 7075 t6 aluminium and are anodised in black . these steering blocks have been designed to allow you to change the ackermann at the steering spindle as well as give us the optimal scrub offset in conjunction with the caster block . the bushings press into the blocks and reduce any unwanted play .\n- the 15 dgr c - hubs are made in 7075 t6 aluminium and are anodised in black . these open style very durable units allow enough space to allow for the maximum steering angle and allow space to mount the rubber dust protectors on the cvd system . as optional we offer 13 , 17 and 19 dgr c - hubs too .\n- the uprights are made of 7075 t6 aluminium and are universal ones to be use left and right . the new uprights have the roll centre adjustment in them with small inserts . set screws are used to tighten down on the hinge pin to eliminate any unwanted play . in the bottom part 2 threaded holes are made to allow for mounting the optional brass weights of 15 gr each for rough conditions .\n- very durable and long moulded wishbones front and rear . the composite is chosen to have enough flex as needed . the design has pockets in the top and bottom part of each arm to mount the standard moulded insert plates , or the optional carbon fibre ones . in that way you can choose the right arm flex for each condition . even different or no inserts front or rear and mixing moulded and carbon inserts is possible . the moulded inserts will stiffen the arms only a little , but keeps them cleaner . the carbon ones , or mixed with moulded ones will stiffen the arms a lot . many options to try and apply . the front wishbones have 2 holes for shock - mounting , the rear ones even 3 .\n- the mudguards are offered in lightweight transparent polycarbonate and can be left clear , be painted or skinned as preferred .\n- the suspension brackets are cnc machined in 7075 t6 aluminium and grey anodised . they key into the chassis for perfect fit . the brackets have precision machined pockets to use a full range of moulded inserts to change the set -

raising through qip will help us meet the bank\u2019s capital requirement for the next two years , \u201d rajendran added . at the end of march , catholic syrian bank had a capital adequacy ratio of 12 . 15 % , higher than the 10 . 25 % mandated by basel - iii norms . but it needs to beef up its capital position to grow its loan book faster than the 3 . 4 % rate in 2016 - 17 . the bank had reported two years of losses before showing a profit of rs1 . 5 crore in 2016 -

time chairman of , csb . krishnamurthy replaced rakesh bhatia who had quit earlier this year citing personal reason . after this , the board of directors had sent a panel of three names to reserve bank of india out of which they had maintained that krishnamurthy was the first choice .\nmost of these banks turned out to be unstable and had to be closed . kerala was home to two of the largest and most controversial banking failures in indian history . the first was the travancore and quilon bank in 1938 and the other was the palai central bank . these banking shocks ( along with other shocks like partition ) created enormous turbulence in kerala\u2019s banks .\nmeanwhile , the task before iswardas is to make investors see that the value of csb shares keep rising on the back of robust growth . \u201cit\u2019s not about size , \u201d iswardas says , \u201csize of the bank comes second . i am looking at what the bank\u2019s strengths are , and how best it can be used . if i do that , growth should follow naturally . \u201d\nit\u2019s a tough task : what csb plans to add in the next two years , state bank of india adds in a month . it\u2019s ambitious , admits iswardas . \u201cbut look at our recent record . we managed to increase our advances by rs . 1 , 250 crore in the last three to four months . \u201d can he grow the bank so fast when the industry itself has slowed down ? a deutsche bank report says that loan growth is unlikely to scale previous peaks , even though it\u2019s improving . public sector banks have reduced their targets , it points out .\nbefore the board approved the qip , csb was looking to sell 51 % stake to fairfax but the deal did not go through since the bank felt the offer was too low . according to another person familiar with the development who spoke under condition of anonymity , vallabh bhansali , chairman of enam group on 23 may picked up a nearly 4 % stake in the bank at a valuation of rs160 per share , a 30 % premium to csb\u2019s rs123 . 5 per share book value at the end of march . this also values the bank at around rs1 , 295 crore .\nnaturally , there has been no dearth of suitors . just 80 kilometres from iswardas\u2019 office sits m . venugopalan , ceo of federal bank . this larger country cousin of csb has been trying to acquire it for the past two years in a bid to become the dominant bank in kerala . it bought a 5 percent stake and waited for a larger stake . it found a heaven - sent opportunity when the reserve bank of india set a march 31 , 2010 deadline for csb\u2019s largest shareholder , sura chansrichawla , to bring down his 24 . 5 percent stake to less than 10 percent . here was a shareholder under compulsion to sell and a buyer eager to lap it up . for a while , it almost looked like csb would become an apple in federal bank\u2019s basket .\nt . s . anantharaman , another board member and a shareholder in the bank , says , for the investors , it\u2019s a question of price . \u201cthey would like to see some return on their investments . \u201d\nthe bank plans to raise money through a qualified institutional placement ( qip ) , where listed companies sell shares , fully and partly convertible debentures , or any security other than convertible warrants , to a qualified institutional buyer .\nto this day , venugopalan insists that the logic for the merger holds good . despite chansrichawla\u2019s sale of stake to a new set of investors , federal bank hasn\u2019t walked away from csb . it retains its 5 percent stake .\nfor chansrichawla , this was not the way things were supposed to go . he came here in the 1990s , looking at investment opportunities . banking was high up on chansrichawla\u2019s priority list . a generation earlier , his family tried to get hold of a bank ( bank of ayudhia ) in thailand , but failed . as thai economy became more liberal , it was left to his generation to enter and expand his family\u2019s interest in banking , finance and insurance .\nthe private equity infusion was to take the csb\u2019s net worth beyond the reserve bank of india\u2019s minimum requirement of rs . 300 crore . the csb had only rs . 229 . 39 crore in net worth in 2006 - 07 .\nthe basis of the exception , in the case of csb , is the need to ensure adequate capital availability for turning around the struggling bank . the deal assumes significance considering the 21 - year - long quest for control of csb .\nin a rare study which looks at the history of one of the thrissur banks\u2014south indian bank\u2014m . k . das and thomas e . m . ( a southern odyssey : the story of south indian bank , 2014 ) analyse some of the reasons for trichur emerging as a banking centre . they say towns like cochin or mattancherry became important commercial centres due to favourable geography leading to trading opportunities in these towns . however , trichur emerged as a trading town because of state patronage .\na few months ago , mint on sunday editor sidin vadukut wrote about a visit to his home town of thrissur for his younger sister ' s wedding . he mentioned that he met a neighbour who was proud that his daughter had recently joined a bank .\nas if this wasn\u2019t enough , a three - way stalemate has just emerged showing that the battle for csb is far from over . chansrichawla , who was talking to federal bank to sell his stake , went ahead and sold it to an entirely new set of investors .\nrecently , csb had filed for an initial public offering for rs 400 crore . apart from csb , rbl has also filed for an ipo . both the lenders have been advised by the reserve bank of india over the past few years to gear up for an ipo .\n25 crore . in addition to the domestic branches , there are around 5 nri branches of the bank as well as 5 industrial branches , 5 ssi branches and 4 service branches . all these branches work in coordination with each other and offer the high class facilities and services .\na good analysis . everyone ' s prayers must be with iswardas . one point we should note : majority of the directors on the board neither have any in depth idea about the business nor the culture of the bank . since the large shareholders dominate the board , their personal interest in selling their holding at a high price takes prominence over the growth of the bank . this is the source of the problem for any ceo . in fact mr . chansrichawla ' s representatives ( direct and indirect ) are more on the board despite rbi ' s clear instructions against .\nhere comes the twist . the share transfer is yet to be cleared by csb\u2019s board . the rbi asked the bank to check if these 15 investors were acting in concert . the apparent implication was that if they belonged to one group , their combined stake would again violate the law .\nvenugopalan was ready to pay the price for strategic value . he offered a share swap in august 2009 under which shareholders of csb were to get 1 . 9 shares of federal bank for every share they held . this valued csb at rs . 700 crore . the deal looked almost done .\ncsb chairman s santhanakrishnan said fairfax india would invest ` 1 , 000 crore in the bank , and that the deal is likely to be closed by march 2017 . he said csb was not worried about fairfax acquiring majority stake , because the canadian firm would have voting right of only 15 per cent .\nas the bank\u2019s 86th annual general body meeting began here this morning , the csb protection committee demanded its adjournment citing sections 179 ( 1 ) and 180 of the companies act , 1956 ,

agree with their views . the csb board will approve a deal at the right price , while federal bank\u2019s board won\u2019t allow venugopalan to pay as much as he was willing to .\n\u201cas part of the terms of the deal , the rbi has sought a five - year lock - in for fairfax , and asked the firm to reduce its holding in the bank to 15 per cent in 12 years , \u201d said sources . \u201cnormally , it takes at least three - four years for the turnaround . the five - year lock - in has been fixed for certainty in this regard . a valuation exercise will commence shortly to determine value of the unlisted entity , \u201d added the sources , but did not specify any timeframe for the process . it is learnt that the bank would be issuing fresh shares to fairfax , which has substantial holdings in diversified financial firm iifl and the bangalore international airport .\nmeanwhile , csb would look at industrial clusters to tap the sme business . iswardas has asked rbi for permission to open 35 more branches . and for the first time , the bank would participate in campus recruitments . the plan is to touch rs . 19 , 000 crore in deposits plus loans by 2011 , and rs . 30 , 000 crore by 2012 .\niswardas has divided the branches into three categories ( rural , urban and semi - urban ) and has given each of them a focus area ( retail , corporate and small & medium enterprises , respectively ) . he set up a credit committee comprising of zonal and general managers to make decision - making faster . the 90 - year - old bank has several third generation customers , and it would try to deepen the ties .\nat the time of bank nationalization in 1969 , there were 72 banks that had managed to survive in india . of these banks , nine were from kerala . and of these nine , four were scheduled banks and the other five non - scheduled banks . more importantly , seven of the nine banks were from the erstwhile cochin state and within these seven banks , four were from trichur ( the

obviously missed out here . it must be noted that it is through supreme court ' s intervention and its order chawlas got the approval which was pending for a long time after the rbi declined to acknowledge the transfer . chawlas are not known to manage any business well in their own country and the bank they were having control in thailand was taken over by the government . it is largely believed that santana krishnan , venugopalan and chawlas pushed the merger proposal for their personal interest rather with larger objective of increasing shareholder value at both banks .\nthe next question : how did these banks help thrissur and kerala ? one way to assess this is to see the branch network of these banks in kerala . in 1970 , kerala had 642 bank branches out of which 60 % were from kerala - based banks . within the 60 % , thrissur - based banks constituted 22 % of the total branches . in terms of population per branch , kerala had 33 , 251 people per branch , which was the third - lowest amidst states after gujarat and punjab . the national average was 60 , 859 people per branch .\nfederal bank\u2019s inherent growth must be some consolation to venugopalan . the net worth has risen to rs . 4 , 000 crore . the branch network is up to 670 from 420 . but it could have been much better with csb in the bag . he has set a goal to reach rs . 100 , 000 crore in total business and a network of 1 , 000 branches by 2011 . \u201clast two years were difficult because of slowdown in the economy and there was a set back . we will anyway work towards the goal . \u201d the target did not include business through any acquisition . \u201cthat would have been a bonus , \u201d he says .\nstay up to date on all the latest kerala news with the new indian express app .

following after your last line :\nbut not mentally prepared to .\nthis piqued my curiosity . i asked the author whether the woman had joined one of the thrissur firms , as i knew the region is home to quite a few local banks . he responded by asking why i don\u2019t write about the same\u2014and here we are .\neven before we discuss the histories of these individual banks , we need to discuss the history of banking in kerala . it is intriguing to unearth how financial intermediation has existed in this part of the world much before banks came into being .\nedith jemima simcox ( primitive civilizations or outlines of the history ownership in archaic communities , 1894 ) , in a remarkable account on primitive civilizations , covers the region of malabar along with other regions . she mentions that \u201cthe dravidian kuri , or lottery , is said to have been handed down from very ancient times , and it is still commonly resorted to by anyone desiring to raise a sum of money for some special purpose , such as a daughter\u2019s marriage\u201d . the second volume of the same book covers china , where she notes very similar arrangements were used to raise capital , prompting the author to add , \u201cthe resemblance to the dravidian kuri , or lotteries , is obvious , and the institution in china may easily be as ancient as the characteristic form of mortgage also shared with the people of malabar . \u201d\nthese kuris ( more popularly known as chit funds today ) evolved for over a thousand years and are perhaps the oldest forms of financial intermediation . they started as the malabar region\u2019s engagement in the spice trade over the centuries lead to the monetization of the economy . a mechanism was needed to transfer funds to those who needed it\u2014as alluded to by simcox . this led to development of the kuri system , where members got funds on a rotation basis . in the absence of collateral , kuri was an interesting way to transfer funds from surplus units to deficit units , which is seen as a major role of financial system as well .\nw . e . preston , who was member of royal commission on indian currency and finance ( 1926 ) , noted \u201c . . . it may be accepted that a system of banking that was eminently suited to india\u2019s then requirements was in force in that country many centuries before the science of banking became an accomplished fact in england . \u201d\ncoming back to our topic , we zoom into the early 20th century , when indians were establishing joint stock banks in different parts of the country . under british india , the state of kerala as we know it today was divided into three parts : malabar in the north , cochin in the centre and travancore in the south . malabar came under the madras presidency and the other two were princely states .\nwithin these three regions , a large number of banks mushroomed , most of them offshoots of existing kuri funds . there are multiple sources telling us about the high banking concentration in these three regions :\n\u2022 the madras banking enquiry committee ( 1930 ) noted that there were around 66 banks in the entire presidency , with 32 of them in the malabar region . again , most of these banks were small .\n\u2022 there was no separate committee to study banking in cochin . however , the report of the travancore - cochin banking enquiry commission ( 1956 ) noted that the princely state had 155 banks in 1936 , which declined to 109 in 1939 and to 68 in 1954 . the commission reported an even larger numbers of banks in travancore : 274 in 1932 - 33 , which declined to 85 in 1954 . whatever the sources of data , one thing is clear : these regions just had an amazingly high birth rate and death rate of banks .\nout of the nearly 1 , 700 banks that closed in the country in the period between 1913 and 1970 , nearly 370 banks were from the kerala region . this excludes some of the malabar banks , which were counted as banks that closed in the madras presidency .\nthe sheer longevity of these banks is quite significant and demands adequate research . they remained small banks serving the hinterlands of kerala . in 1969 , the nine kerala banks comprised just 1 . 8 % of total deposits mobilized by all banks .\nthe next question is , why trichur ? the cochin - travancore banking commission ' s report noted that in cochin \u201cmost of the banks were largely centred in trichur , a commercial town with extensive rural areas lying all round which had also their banks\u201d .\nthey highlight how sakthan thampuran , who was the king of cochin between 1751 and 1805 , shifted the capital from mattancherry to trichur . they cite the following reasons :\n\u2022 both the dutch and british had bases at mattancherry and were warring for supremacy . sakthan did not want to take sides and shifted base to thrissur .\n\u2022 the other reason was the central location of thrissur , which made governance easier in times where connectivity was poor .\n\u2022 the third reason was strategic . thrissur historically served as a gateway for enemy armies , whether they were the zamorins of calicut or hyder ali / tippu sultan . by shifting the base , he revealed the military strategist in him .\nwith the shifting of the political base , economic activity too began to shift towards thrissur . the king promoted state trading in commodities , taking a cue from european traders . he built a small fleet of ships which he rented to private players , a forerunner to today\u2019s coastal shipping activity . he also realized that many towns and villages of the state had product - specific markets . he ensured the prosperity of these markets by appointing officers to oversee the problems .\ngiven this policy push , thrissur gradually evolved into a commercial centre . thus , as joint stock banks started thronging the region , thrissur became the default choice for most of promoters .\nin 1972 , when first district - wise banking data was released , there were 70 banked centres in thrissur district , the eighth - highest in the country . more importantly , most of these banked centres were small rural centres with branches of local thrissur banks . there were 133 functioning offices in the district , which was 17th - highest among all the districts .\nin terms of total deposits and credit volumes , the district does not fare as well , given the banks were mainly catering to the small depositor and borrower . however , in terms of number of deposit accounts and credit accounts , the tally is impressive . the number of credit accounts was 118 , 000 , 10th - highest in the country ( three districts from kerala were in the top 10 ) , whereas the number of deposit accounts was around 240 , 000 , making it 36th - highest in the country . the number of accounts again highlights that thrissur banks mainly catered to small customers .\napart from these inclusion parameters , these banks also provided employment opportunities to local people . most of them were community banks as their names indicate , whose initial workforce mainly comprised members of their own communities .\nafter reading so much about banks in thrissur , and poring over the data , one wonders just how many people know of its contribution to indian banking history .\nand it ' s not just about banks . one of the better known nbfcs ( non - banking finance companies ) \u2014mannapuram gold loan\u2014also started in thrissur in 1949 . not to mention the fact that it has become a hub for several jewellery companies\u2014such as kalyan jewellers\u2014which are now beginning to expand their footprint across the country . gold and banking are , in fact , intrinsically connected as most of these banks lent against gold as collateral . moreover , it is not just about the past : one of the 10 small finance banks\u2014esaf\u2014started its journey in thrissur and is now headquartered in chennai .\nthere is so much to learn and understand about thrissur\u2019s emergence and sustenance as a financial hub over a small scale . i have barely scratched the surface and would be delighted to learn from those who know much more about banking in the region ."]}

supplied umdf drivers and framework dlls , provides an execution environment for user - mode drivers , and routes messages between drivers in a user - mode stack . for more information , see umdf driver host process .\nthe umdf driver is an in - process com component that controls the hardware from user mode .\nthe user mode driver reflector , which is aware of the original process and the destination process , uses cefsiocontrol to forward the device manager ' s request to the user mode driver host . the user mode driver host then parses the request to either load , unload , or call the parent bus driver ' s entry .\nthe reflector is a kernel mode wdm filter driver that is installed at the top of the kernel mode device stack for each device that is managed by a umdf driver . the reflector manages communication between the kernel mode components and the user mode driver host process .\nsynchronizing the kernel stub and the user - mode driver using a deferred procedure call ( dpc ) .\na combination of the kernel stubs , the software based fault isolation mechanism 107 , or the user - mode framework reflector 108 may monitor for an interrupt storm and reset the device if one occurs . in some implementations , upon detection of an interrupt storm , the isr may be routed through the user - mode framework reflector 108 , or there may be some communication between a kernel interrupt dispatcher and the user - mode framework reflector 108 such that the user - mode framework reflector 108 can detect or be notified when a device is causing an interrupt storm . the user - mode framework reflector 108 may then call stub _ reset ( i . e . , the reset stub 105 ) , and then either notify or terminate the host driver .\nif the driver is a user mode driver , the call to activatedevice or to activatedeviceex will result in the device manager calling the user mode driver reflector function as well . a driver is recognized as a user mode driver when the flags value is set to the setting devflags _ load _ as _ userproc ( 0x10 ) in the registry key of the device .\nuser - mode driver framework ( umdf ) debugging extensions are implemented in the extension module wudfext . dll . you can use these extensions to debug drivers that use umdf .\nin an implementation , a dma device for a user - mode framework driver is one that implements no device specific kernel code . the device may have the following attributes :\nyou can debug a umdf driver by using user - mode debuggers or kernel - mode debuggers . for more info , see debugging wdf drivers .\nall wdf driver samples and visual studio driver templates are universal windows driver compliant .\nwindows driver frameworks ( wdf ) is a set of libraries that you can use to write device drivers that run on the windows operating system . wdf defines a single driver model that is supported by two frameworks : kernel - mode driver framework ( kmdf ) and user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) . this topic provides answers to frequently asked questions about umdf .\nin some implementations , drivers are written completely in a user - mode framework . no code in the kernel results in a very stable implementation , where generic driver functions from a split driver model are sufficient .\nsimilar to a kernel - mode stack , the construction and tear down of a user - mode stack is driven by plug and play ( pnp ) events . after the kernel - mode stack has been built , the reflector notifies the driver manager to start construction of the user - mode stack . the driver manager launches the driver host process and provides sufficient information to the launched process to build the user - mode stack . in this way , the user - mode stack can be considered an extension of the kernel - mode stack .\nthe user - mode framework reflector 108 may invoke the kernel stubs to handle requests for \u201cstub operations\u201d in response to xksoperation calls in the xks _ uapi . the user - mode framework reflector 108 may call a kernel stub interface at dirql holding the proper locks in a manner that allows for safe execution of the kernel stubs using xfi . in an implementation , the downcall interface for the user - mode framework reflector 108 to call an kernel stub operation could be :\nthe run - time environment dispatches i / o requests , loads the driver , constructs and destroys the user mode device stack , manages a user mode thread pool , and handles messages from the reflector and the driver managers .\nthe run - time environment dispatches i / o requests , loads the driver , constructs and destroys the user mode device stack , manages a user mode thread pool , and handles message from the reflector and the driver manager .\nhow does a user i / o sent to a umdf driver get processed ? as figure 1 shows , a user mode application sends its requests to kernel mode as for any device . once in kernel mode , the reflector sends the requests to the proper wudfhost process running in user mode for processing . the action of the requests is totally transparent to the application - - only the umdf driver knows it is running in user mode .\nthis topic provides a high - level overview of user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) components and describes how your driver interacts with system - supplied components . it applies to both umdf versions 1 and 2 .\nwindows driver frameworks ( wdf ) contains umdf , a framework for the creation of user - mode drivers . like kernel - mode driver framework ( kmdf ) , umdf provides an abstraction layer from wdm , handling much of the plug and play ( pnp ) and power management functionality , and allowing the driver to opt in for specific functionality and event handling .\na reflector to manage communication between the user - mode module and the kernel stub .\nwhen a driver is in user mode , the pbuscontext passed into activatedeviceex must be a dword instead of a pointer .\na umdf driver can receive i / o requests from a kernel - mode driver . for more info about kernel - mode clients , see supporting kernel - mode clients in umdf 2 drivers .\nif you built your driver using a version of the kmdf library that is more recent than the version of the framework that is on the system , then the latter must be updated . for information about updating the framework library , see redistributable framework components .\n. second , it must move the remaining ( non - critical ) functions to a user - mode component , and generate code for communication between the kernel - mode and user - mode components . this is achieved by the\na microdriver consists of a kernel - mode component that implements critical functionality and a user - mode process that implements non - critical functionality . device driver functionality is split between the kernel - mode and user - mode components at function boundaries . the two components communicate using an lrpc - like mechanism [\nthe driver host process provides the execution environment for user - mode drivers and routes messages between drivers in the user - mode stack . the reflector uses a message - based interprocess communication mechanism to communicate with the driver manager and host process .\ninto microdrivers . this provides a path to execute device drivers written for commodity operating systems in user - mode without sacrificing performance . prior efforts at user - mode device drivers have either required rewriting the driver completely [\nthe umdf driver is an in - process component object model ( com ) component that controls the hardware from user mode .\nuser - mode drivers operate in a much simpler environment than kernel - mode drivers . for example , kernel - mode drivers must take into account irql , page faults , and thread context . in user mode , however , these issues do not exist . user - mode drivers always run in a different thread from the requesting process and can always take page faults .\n19 . the device driver framework of claim 18 , wherein the kernel stub calls a deferred procedure call ( dpc ) to synchronize with one of an interrupt service routine and the user - mode module .\nfor an overview of how to debug user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) drivers , including information on how to start this kind of debugging session , see the debugging umdf drivers section of the windows driver kit ( wdk ) documentation .\nproviding the kernel stub access to a shared memory space that is shared between the kernel stub and the user - mode driver .\nsharing information between the user - mode driver and the kernel stub regarding the hardware device and the interrupt in a shared memory .\nyou can debug umdf drivers by using either a user - mode debugger or , starting with umdf version 2 , a kernel - mode debugger .\nwhen protecting systems against kernel mode drivers using the software fault isolation mechanism 107 , the software isolation augments the kernel mode driver such that driver exceptions may be detected . when the software isolation code detects a driver exception , it stops the driver code and unwinds the driver call stacks to return a proper error code back to the user - mode framework reflector 108 . the user - mode framework reflector 108 in turn calls a driver provided reset stub 105 that functions like a \u201ckill switch\u201d to stop the hardware from any further operations which may corrupt the system states . the reset stub 105 is provided by the driver at the driver initialization . the \u201ckill switch\u201d stops the hardware immediately , including any outstanding dma transfers .\nin some implementations , a method includes loading a user - mode driver associated with a device ; loading kernel stubs having a reset stub associated with the user - mode driver in a kernel of an operating system ; receiving an interrupt ; invoking the kernel stub to perform an interrupt service routine ; monitoring for an exception ; and obtaining information about the interrupt using the user - mode driver .\nthe user - mode framework reflector 108 may forward i / o , power , and plug and play messages from the operating system to the driver host process , so that user - mode drivers can respond to i / o requests and participate in plug and play device installation , enumeration , and management . the user - mode framework reflector 108 or the software based fault isolation mechanism 107 may also monitor the driver host process to ensure that it responds properly to messages and completes critical operations in a timely manner , thus helping to prevent driver and application hangs .\nwhen debugging a umdf driver , you can merge framework logs with driver logs by issuing : ! wdfkd . wdflogdump < drivername . dll > - m\nfigure 1 shows the overall architecture of a umdf driver . a umdf driver runs in a driver host process that also hosts umdf and a run - time environment . each such driver operates as part of a stack of drivers that manage a device . the user mode drivers are loaded above the kernel mode drivers at the top of the stack . because user mode components do not have access to the system address space where the system and kernel mode drivers maintain i / o requests and other shared data , the umdf architecture includes components that communicate between kernel mode and user mode .\nthe user mode driver framework ( umdf ) is one of two major sub - frameworks in the windows driver foundation ( wdf ) framework . it in essence sits on top of the windows 7 operating system , and uses the windows win32 api\u2019s primarily to communicate with the operating system , which ultimately communicates with the computer system hardware device .\nuser - mode and kernel - mode drivers have different structures , different entry points , and different system interfaces . whether a device requires a user - mode or kernel - mode driver depends on the type of device and the support already provided for it in the operating system . most device drivers run in kernel - mode . kernel - mode drivers can perform certain protected operations and can access system structures that user - mode drivers cannot access . moreover , kernel - mode drivers often offer lower - latency services . however , kernel - mode drivers can cause instability and system crashes if not implemented properly , as well as introduce security vulnerabilities .\n] offer apis to program user - mode device drivers that communicate with a kernel module . chubb [\nas figure 2 shows , the user mode driver runs under the host process , which combines with kernel mode drivers ( including the reflector ) to form the device stack for the device .\nthis solution demonstrates how a user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) version 2 driver can implement f - state - based power management . the singlecomp project demonstrates how a umdf version 2 driver can implement f - state - based power management for a device that has only a single component .\nmy copy of windows 7 is pirated and i want to use my xbox one controller with it but that requires a few updates , user - mode driver framework version 1 . 11 and kernel - mode driver framework version 1 . 11 to be exact . i ' m wondering if instaling these will make windows realise my copy isn ' t genuine , so is it safe to install these updates ?\nthe request is either completed by one of the drivers in the user - mode stack or forwarded by one of the drivers back to the reflector . when the reflector receives a request from the user - mode driver stack , it sends the request down the kernel - mode stack for completion .\n] . in the kernel - mode component , direct calls to functions implemented in the user - mode component are replaced with upcalls through stubs . stubs marshal data structures accessed by the called function and unmarshal them when the call returns . a symmetric downcall mechanism enables the user - mode component to invoke kernel functions . to handle multiple requests from the kernel - mode component , the user - mode process is multithreaded .\n20 . the device driver framework of claim 19 , wherein the user - mode module and the kernel stub are provided at a same interrupt level , and wherein the dpc processes i / o requests at a lower interrupt level .\nas figure 4 . 1 shows , windows supports a layered i / o architecture . user mode applications and services issue i / o requests through the win32 api and communicate with the user mode pnp manager to perform plug and play and power activities . the win32 api and user mode pnp manager , in turn , communicate with the kernel mode i / o system , which includes the kernel mode i / o manager , pnp manager , and power manager . the kernel mode i / o system communicates with the kernel mode drivers .\nthe reflector is a kernel mode wdm filter driver that is installed at the top of the kernel mode device stack for each device that a umdf driver manages . the reflector manages communication between the kernel mode components and the user mode driver host process . the reflector forwards i / o , power , and plug and play messages from the operating system to the driver host process , so that user mode drivers can respond to i / o requests and participate in plug and play device installations , enumeration , and management .\nif you have a debugger connected , you can access both the driver and framework ifr logs by issuing ! wdfkd . wdflogdump .\nthe windows kernel creates i / o request packets ( irps ) to represent the user mode i / o requests and forwards them to the top of the kernel mode driver stack for the target device .\na user - mode driver can impersonate its client process only for i / o requests , and not for plug and play or other system messages .\nat 216 , it is determined if an exception occurred . the exception may be an interrupt storm . the sfi 107 detects exceptions in kernel mode . the reflector 108 receives the indications of exception in kernel mode and takes actions to stop driver at 216 . at 218 , the driver call stack is unwound , and at 220 the hardware is stopped in kernel mode without signaling the user mode driver .\nwhen you build your driver , the msbuild utility links the driver with a stub file that contains the version number of the library that the msbuild utility used . when the operating system loads your driver , the framework ' s loader checks the version information in your driver ' s stub to determine if the driver will run with the version of the framework library that is on the system .\nthe framework exposes the user mode ddi , which is a dynamic - link library ( dll ) of com - style objects that support the presentation , flow , and management of i / o , power , and plug and play requests to the driver .\ndrivers in operating systems run in either user - mode or kernel - mode . user - mode drivers run in the non - privileged processor mode in which other application code , including protected subsystem code , executes . user - mode drivers cannot gain access to system data or hardware except by calling an application programming interface ( api ) which , in turn , calls system services . kernel - mode drivers run as part of the operating system ' s executive , the underlying operating system component that supports one or more protected subsystems .\nrun device drivers as user - mode processes . a bug exercised in a device driver only results in the failure of the user - mode process running that driver . this approach , however , has two key problems . first , this architecture is not compatible with commodity operating systems , which are designed as monolithic kernels . providing support for user - mode device drivers in commodity operating systems thus requires kernel modifications and rewriting device drivers [\nyes . even if your driver requires access to some kernel - mode resources or features , you might be able to split your driver into two parts . this approach enables you to benefit from some of the advantages of developing and running drivers in user mode .\nthe kernel stubs may also provide sequencing of operations for hardware devices where certain sequences of operations are timing sensitive and cannot tolerate pauses incurred by context - switching out a user - mode driver . where a pure user - mode driver would have to be scheduled onto a cpu to acknowledge each of the interrupts , the kernel stub _ isr 106 reduces this latency because it is invoked by the kernel - mode interrupt handler and may run in an arbitrary context at a raised irql . the user - mode framework driver 101 may support multiple devices , and therefore may multiplex requests from multiple devices through a single instance of the kernel stub _ isr 106 .\n17 . the device driver framework of claim 16 , wherein if the software based fault isolation mechanism detects an exception , the device is stopped .\na user - mode driver is started by the driver manager and runs in a driver host process . a single instance of the driver can service simultaneous requests from multiple applications . to communicate with the driver , applications issue i / o requests to the driver ' s device through the win32 api . the primary entry point in a user - mode driver is the idriverentry interface ( umdf 1 . 11 and earlier ) or the driverentry routine ( starting in umdf 2 . 0 ) , rather than a main ( ) function .\nstartup / shutdown and error - handling ) . the user - mode component is implemented as a standalone process that is called from the kernel - mode component . together , they provide the functionality of a traditional device driver .\nalthough this chapter focuses on kernel - mode drivers , windows includes a growing number of drivers that actually run in user mode , as previously described , using the user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) that is part of the wdf . before finishing our discussion on drivers , we\u2019ll take a quick look at the architecture of umdf and what it offers . once again , for a much more complete overview on the subject , please refer to urltoken .\nthe process of moving the driver package to the target computer and installing the driver is called deploying the driver . you can deploy a driver sample automatically or manually .\ndown in kernel mode , the umdf kernel mode reflector driver ( or simply reflector ) provides the necessary connections between user mode and a kernel device stack . there is one reflector device instance installed in each kernel umdf device stack . the reflector is responsible for forwarding i / o , power , and pnp messages from kernel mode to the host process .\nthis section describes user - mode driver framework ( umdf ) and details the differences between umdf versions 1 and 2 . it also provides high - level architectural information about umdf . use this section to determine if a umdf driver is the right choice for your needs , and to decide which umdf version to use .\n16 . the device driver framework of claim 15 , wherein the kernel stub invokes an interrupt service routine in response to an interrupt received from a device ; and wherein the software based fault isolation mechanism monitors for exceptions thrown by a device associated with the user - mode module .\nat 210 , a hardware device raises an interrupt . executable code within kernel stub 106 for the isr is invoked that copies volatile device state into the sdd memory 104 . at 212 , the user - mode framework driver is signaled . this may be performed through the isr execution .\n] . we show that program analysis techniques can automatically identify critical functions in a device driver , following which a semantics - preserving transformation can split the driver into a user - mode and a kernel - mode component . we discuss the design and implementation of such a refactoring tool in\nthe driver includes code to handle only those events for which its device requires device - specific support . all other events can be handled by framework defaults .\noptimizing device drivers for terminal servers plug and play device redirection framework gaurav daga program manager windows terminal server microsoft .\nmicrosoft believes that by moving these types of drivers to user mode , it will simplify driver writing and improve the overall stability of the windows operating system . i certainly agree with this statement since user mode is a much more forgiving environment . let ' s face it , if you can develop a driver for a device without having to worry about the complexities of kernel mode programming or risking crashing a user ' s machine when it misbehaves , your customers and microsoft will be much happier .\nfor more information about using msbuild to build a driver package , see building a driver .\nas the name implies , a umdf driver runs in user mode , specifically in a process running the executable image wudfhost . exe . the general layout of umdf modules is shown in\numdf is based on the same conceptual driver programming model as the kernel mode driver framework ( kmdf ) that is also part of wdf . however , the two frameworks implement the model with different components , device - driver interfaces ( ddis ) , and data structures . kmdf includes some objects that are available . . .\nto make porting code easier from kernel mode to user mode , and to keep a consistent architecture , umdf uses the same conceptual driver programming model as kmdf , but it uses different components , interfaces , and data structures . for example , kmdf includes objects unique to kernel mode , while umdf includes some objects unique to user mode . objects and functionality that can\u2019t be accessed through umdf include direct handling of interrupts , dma , nonpaged pool , and strict timing requirements . furthermore , a umdf driver can\u2019t be on any kernel driver stack or be a client of another driver or the kernel itself .\nin an implementation , the xks _ isr interface 114 may be implemented by a small shim in the user - mode framework reflector 108 . the xks _ isr interface 114 may be responsible for watching for interrupt storms . an exemplary isr interface may be :\nthe splitter analyzes the device driver and determines how functions implemented in the driver must be split between kernel - mode and user - mode . it builds a static call - graph of the driver ( including edges for indirect calls ) , identifies critical root functions , and classifies functions transitively called by them as critical , as described in the study in\numdf exposes the user mode device - driver interface ( ddi ) . umdf is a dll of com - style objects that support the presentation , flow , and management of i / o and plug and play requests to the driver .\nthus , an implementation to solve the contention may be to use a stop - and - go strategy where a device is initialized in non - interrupting state . when the user - mode driver receives transfer requests , it sets up one dma transfer including enabling interrupt for the dma transaction . the user - mode driver then waits on the interrupt event . at some point , interrupt occurs either due to error or completion of the transfer . the kernel mode isr dismisses and disables the interrupt , by reading and writing registers , and it signals the user mode isr which processes the result . the user - mode driver then can continue the next dma transfer if there is one . this serialization of isr and dma request eliminates the contention of accessing hardware registers and any shared resources .\na device driver includes a kernel mode and a user - mode module . the device driver may access device registers while operating in user - mode to promote system stability while providing a low - latency software response from the system upon interrupts . the device driver may include kernel stubs that are loaded into the operating system , and may be device specific code written . the stubs may be called by a reflector to handle exceptions caught by the stubs . a reset stub may be invoked by the reflector when the user - mode module or host terminates abruptly or detects an interrupt storm . the reset stub may also be invoked if errant dma operations are being performed by a hardware device . the reset stub may ensure that hardware immediately stops unfinished dma from further transfer , and may be called by the user - mode driver module .\nall kmdf and umdf 2 drivers can use an always on , always available inflight trace recorder ( ifr ) . when a driver provides a custom trace , the driver ifr log contains the trace messages . note that the new driver ifr log is separate from the framework ifr log that wdf creates for each driver .\ni ' m sure i noticed that when i installed wmp11 one of the install steps was registering the user - mode driver framework . or words to that affect . does this mean that the umdf can be taken downstream , or is the installer talking rubbish ? ( or me , it could be me talking rubbish )\nthe user - mode framework driver 101 may transfer data from a system to a device using dma , which is a capability provided by some computer bus architectures , including pci , pcmcia and cardbus , which allows data to be sent directly from an attached device to the memory on the host , freeing the cpu from involvement with the data transfer and thus improving the host ' s performance . dma buffers 102 provide a memory where data is buffered as it is communicated to / from the user - mode framework driver 101 . the dma buffers 102 may be allocated as a contiguous buffer or may be fragmented in the physical memory and mapped to a contiguous buffer in the calling process ' s virtual address space . in some implementations , the dma buffers 102 may come from requests presented to the user - mode framework driver 101 , in which case they may not need to be mapped into the address space of the host or even accessible directly to the stub .\ni realise you probably cant tell me this which i can perfectly understand i mean its not optimised yet etc but . . . do you have any rough benchmarks at the moment comparing a user mode driver to kernel mode and if so what were the results and the device being testing ? on a seperate note , sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere but will the user mode process run at a higher priority to normal apps ?\na device driver framework in a computing system may include a user - mode module , one or more kernel stubs including a reset stub , a shared memory to share information between the user - mode module and the kernel stubs , and a reflector to manage communication between the user - mode module , the kernel stubs , and an application . the kernel stubs may include code that is invoked as an interrupt service routine in response to an interrupt received from a device and write information from the device to the shared memory . the user - mode module may then read information from the shared memory . after executing the interrupt service routine , the kernel stub may hand off handling of the interrupt to the user - mode module . the kernel stub may be protected using a software - based fault isolation mechanism that monitors for exceptions such as an interrupt storm . upon detecting an interrupt storm , the reset stub may stop a hardware device from generating the interrupts to maintain system stability . the kernel stubs may synchronize with the interrupt service routine and / or user - mode module using a deferred procedure call .\nsafe device driver model based on kernel - mode jvm\n, chen et al . , 2007 , pages 1 - 8\n3 . checking and dismissing interrupts may take a read and a write to the registers for most hardware . therefore , it is non - atomic . if drivers set up dma in user - mode , which has to manipulate hardware registers , there may be contention between isr and the user - mode code .\nthree factors lead us to believe that implementing non - critical functionality as a user - mode process will also improve system reliability and availability as a whole .\nthe driver manager is a windows service that manages all instances of the wudfhost driver host process . the driver manager launches and tracks information about each driver host process . each host is a child process of the driver manager . only one driver manager exists per system . the driver manager starts during installation of the first umdf device and runs on the system thereafter .\nthe code generator uses the critical functions identified and emits code for the kernel - mode and user - mode components . it also generates all the code to handle upcalls and downcalls , including stubs and code to marshal / unmarshal data structures . the object tracker and threadpool implementation ( for the multithreaded user - mode component ) are common to all microdrivers and need to be written just once .\n] report user - mode driver performance comparable to in - kernel device drivers . however , unlike microdrivers , they require both kernel support , and rewriting device drivers , making them incompatible with existing operating systems .\nof course , microdrivers are not a panacea for device driver reliability problems . a bug in the kernel - mode component of a microdriver could still crash the operating system . it is also possible that by splitting functionality between a user - mode and kernel - mode component , microdrivers can expose otherwise latent bugs . for example , a latent race condition in a device driver could potentially be exposed in its microdriver implementation .\ncommodity operating systems achieve good performance by running device drivers in - kernel . unfortunately , this architecture offers poor fault isolation . this paper introduces microdrivers , which reduce the amount of driver code running in the kernel by splitting driver functionality between a small kernel - mode component and a larger user - mode component . this paper presents the microdriver architecture and techniques to refactor existing device drivers into microdrivers , achieving most of the benefits of user - mode drivers with the performance of kernel - mode drivers . experiments on a network driver show that 75 % of its code can be removed from the kernel without affecting common - case performance .\nthe kernel stubs may be untrusted , while executing safely in the kernel because of a software based fault isolation mechanism 107 , such as xfi , that allows user - mode framework drivers to add kernel stub to the kernel without possibly corrupting the integrity of the kernel itself , or its subsystems .\nin addition to the wudfhost process hosting your driver , there is another user mode process that ' s part of the umdf\nsystem .\nthe second process is the umdf driver manager service that communicates with the wudfhost process running your driver and any other wudfhost processes running on the system . this service , which is started as part of starting the device , is responsible for host process lifetimes and responding to messages from the umdf kernel mode reflector driver .\numdf drivers run in a driver host process , which runs in the security credentials of a localservice account , although the host process itself is not a windows service . thus , user - mode drivers are as secure as any other user - mode service . when a umdf driver issues i / o requests , it can optionally impersonate its client process . impersonation enables the driver thread to run in the security context of the client so that the system performs access checks against the client ' s identity rather than that of the driver host process .\nbefore writing a driver\u2014even a user mode driver\u2014you must understand the basics of the windows i / o architecture , as shown in figure 1 . in this overview , we will discuss some of the major principles behind the i / o system and define the most important terms .\nbefore writing a user mode driver you must understand the basics of the umdf architecture . ron reeves , author of windows 7 device driver , looks at the overall block diagram of the umdf , and at the major activity : the i / o flow for the umdf .\nunlike kmdf drivers , which run as driver objects representing a . sys image file , umdf drivers run in a driver host process , similar to a service - hosting process . the host process contains the driver itself ( which is implemented as an in - process com component ) , the user - mode driver framework ( implemented as a dll containing com - like components for each umdf object ) , and a run - time environment ( responsible for i / o dispatching , driver loading , device - stack management , communication with the kernel , and a thread pool ) .\n] , synchronizes copies of a data structure in the kernel ' s address space and the user - mode process ' address space . it has three main functions .\nseveral enhancements are possible to the basic architecture of a microdriver . functions that are repeatedly called from both the kernel - mode component and user - mode component can potentially be replicated in both components , thus avoiding the overhead of an address - space change each time the function is accessed . similarly , a frequently - accessed data structure can be allocated in a shared memory region that is accessible both to the kernel and the user - mode process . finally , to ensure fast operation of the user - mode process , the operating system can pin the process ' pages to memory .\nthe host process is the process in which the user mode driver runs . the host process is a child process of the driver manager and runs in the security credentials of a localservice account , although it is not a windows service . the host process includes the following components :\nby default , if the objectsforleakdetection key is not specified , the framework monitors wdfrequest , wdfworkitem , wdfkey , wdfstring , wdfobject , and wdfdevice .\n] , and is an important motivation for microkernels . this has resulted in several services , that were previously implemented in the kernel , being implemented in user - mode (\nkernel - mode drivers if specific kernel support for a device that is managed by a umdf driver is needed , it is also possible to write a companion kernel - mode driver that fills that role . in this way , it is possible for a device to be managed both by a umdf and a kmdf ( or wdm ) driver .\n3 . handling of level triggered interrupts that are not shared . this mechanism may be implemented with a minimal amount of kernel - mode code . if the interrupt is not shared , then the interrupt handler may mask the interrupt at the interrupt controller ( effectively blocking it ) and notify the user - mode driver to handle the device . the user - mode driver code may make a request to the system ( reflector , etc . ) at the end of processing that unmasks the interrupt line , at which point a new interrupt may come in .\nfirst , fault isolation improves . any bugs that crash the user - mode process of a microdriver will potentially render the corresponding device unusable but will not affect the rest of the operating system . the device driver can then be restarted in isolation to restore operation of the device . note that because the kernel - mode component of a microdriver implements critical device functionality , such as interrupt processing , it is possible to keep the device operational even if the user - mode process crashes . for example , the kernel - mode component can implement error - checking code that detects that the user - mode process has crashed , and wait until the process restarts . however , as it does so , it can still serve other requests to / from the device .\nto determine the version of the library that your driver is running with , the driver can call wdfdriverisversionavailable or wdfdriverretrieveversionstring .\n] . second , switching between the kernel and a user - mode device driver involves the costly overhead of changing protection domains . for devices such as high - throughput network cards , this can result in significant latencies and performance penalties [\n2 . interrupt information is reflected in completed buffers or in a hardware register set which is manipulated by user mode code which may synchronize among multiple threads that access hardware registers .\nthe reflector is a kernel - mode driver that permits an application and a driver host process ( and user - mode device stacks ) to communicate . the reflector creates a separate device object for each device instance and handles plug and play ( pnp ) and power i / o requests associated with each device instance . all communication between the application and the driver host process happens through the reflector . for more information , see architecture of umdf .\nthe host process is the process in which the user mode driver runs . it is separate from the application process and the driver manager . it runs in the security credentials of a localservice account , although it is not a windows service . the host process contains the user mode device stack for the device . the device stack is visible to all applications across the system . each instance of a device has its own device stack . currently each instance has a separate driver host process , too . the host process includes the following components :\numdf is a new way of allowing drivers that support protocol bus based devices ( initially just usb ) to be written in user mode . the types of devices currently supported are :\nsecond , because the kernel - mode component of the microdriver implements critical and heavily - used functionality , this code is likely more heavily tested than the user - mode component . further , because the kernel - mode component is a relatively small entity , it can either be verified , subject to thorough code audits , or be protected with mechanisms such as sfi [\nto achieve this goal , the framework is designed to work with drivers on an\nopt - in\nbasis . when you write a umdf driver , you provide callback routines for only the events that affect your device . for example , some devices require intervention immediately after they are turned on and just before they are turned off . the driver for such a device can implement callback functions that the framework calls at those times .\nthe user - mode framework driver 101 may operate as part of a stack of drivers that manage a hardware device . in an implementation , to provide for hardware that requires a low - latency response , the user - mode framework driver 101 may include kernel stubs loaded into the operating system , and may be device specific code written by , e . g . , hardware vendors . the kernel stubs may be provided to handle outstanding dma transfers and to provide better performance . the stubs are called by a reflector 108 via xkd _ ddi 112 . the reflector 108 contains code to handle exceptions in stubs caught by sfi 107 . the following kernel - mode stubs may be implemented : stub _ reset 105 ( reset ) , stub _ isr 106 ( isr ) and stub _ syncexe 109 ( syncexe ) . these three stubs execute at dirql with the interrupt spinlock , hence synchronization is provided for ."]}

label record deal on the table . what do you do ? sign ?\na well - negotiated deal will ensure that the artist is entitled to a 50 : 50 share of any secondary income earned by the label . this could be in the form of advances paid by overseas labels licensing your record , income from compilations , or sync fees that are paid when a sound recording is used in a film or tv commercial or on a computer game .\nit is possible for one person to write a song ( also known as a composition , or a work ) , while another performs and records it . or the same person could both write and record it .\neven though volume cd packaging these days is cheap , record companies typically make a royalty deduction of 20 to 25 percent deduction for it \u2014 which might look like a bit of a rip - off . . .\nalso bear in mind that the document will vary depending on the type and size of record company you want to build . for example , if you\u2019re not planning to seek outside funding , it\u2019ll primarily be used as your road map and can be fairly brief . however , if you\u2019re planning to raise money from family , friends , or independent investors for a somewhat more substantial label , it\u2019ll need to reflect more of the business and mechanical aspects of the label\u2019s operation . finally , if you need to raise substantial capital , it\u2019ll have to be considerably more comprehensive .\nthere are several positions the artist can adopt in relation to creative control . firstly , they can attempt to negotiate varying degrees of creative control in relation to each issue . alternatively , they can seek to obtain a right of consultation across the board , where the label must seek their opinion before acting , but can ultimately ignore their wishes . finally \u2014 and by far the best outcome for the artist \u2014 they can seek to negotiate a right of approval . this would mean that the label couldn ' t make a creative decision without the artist ' s permission . however , note that where the artist is dropped by the record company , or their contract has expired , the label can make all manner of creative decisions without the artist ' s approval .\nthe thing i was most excited about after my call with mike were the opportunities they make available for their artists . like festival , label , playlist , radio and audition submission opportunities .\nmixnauten is a joke , work with them only 2 months and i went to label worx . work using the system from another distributor that asks them 30 % commission , this is not informed to the labels , offering 400 stores in your web and service only delivery to 40 stores , it\u2019s just one label and its \u201ccustomers\u201d are\u2026 . . sublabels . a big lie .\nin reality , most ' deductions ' are artificial and in no way reflect the true cost to the label . packaging on cds manufactured in volume is cheap . similarly , as more records are sold through digital channels , a reserve for breakages and the allocation of free digital goods ceases to make any sense at all , other than to boost the label ' s profits .\nin this lawsuit , the record labels sued online video site vimeo , alleging that dozens of sound recordings were infringed in videos posted on the site . a ruling from a district court judge earlier this year found vimeo could be responsible for copyright infringement , and in doing so imposed new , impossibly high standards for websites hosting user - generated content . in an amicus brief filed wednesday , eff argues that the decision undermines the safe harbors created by the digital millennium copyright act ( dmca ) , and the innovation and expression those safe harbors make possible .\nthis fee is totally justified when you get consistent play . the exposure drives sales , increases an artist\u2019s profile and leads to public performance royalties for the songwriters ( collected via prs\u2019 like ascap ) and for the recording artists and record label ( collected via prs\u2019 like soundexchange , almost everywhere in the world except for the usa , where radio / tv do not have to pay master - right holders for using their records ) .\nmore generous advances should be negotiated for the exercise of successive options \u2014 ie . when the next album becomes due \u2014 irrespective of whether previous advances have been recouped . recoupment is a process by which the label will first recover the advance against any artist royalty income . care should be taken to remove any wording stating that an advance is repayable . this would have the effect of turning it into a personal debt , which you could be liable for at any time . you should only ever have to repay advances where your record sales generate sufficient royalties to cover them . failing that , the label bears the loss .\ninevitably , there have been plenty of failures , too . gerardo names virginia death metallers arsis as one of the label\u2019s biggest disappointments . \u201cthey had so much potential but they basically self - destructed , \u201d he says . similarly , there have been those bands who slipped through the net ; gerardo says current nb mainstays lamb of god received knockbacks from the label early in their career .\nonerpm is moving away from a diy focused business and is focusing more on label / distribution deals \u2018signing\u2019 artists . 95 % of their business are from artists they sign or labels they represent .\ni worked 11 years whit different distributor : symphonic : good amadea : release contract hold 12 months , not good . label worx : excellent ( dasboard and professional service ) kzv : 60 % comission for the label , not good . believe : good . waxtone : excellent ( dashboard very simple , fully transparent , audio player promotion service is amazing ) feyr : horrible ditto : good\nnow that is interesting . so could the issue here be less about the actual rights to the content and more about whether emusic ' s site is able to plug into a given distribution network ? i did , by the way , check on mexican summer ' s sister labels , and at least here in the us , we don ' t seem to have any of them currently . the irony of all this is that almost all the mexican summer content i currently own originally all came from emusic -

up funds , this is probably the most difficult and critical part of establishing a label .\nunder most exclusive recording contracts , the artist will assign copyright in the sound recordings to the record company . an assignment is a transfer of ownership for the full life of copyright . in the case of sound recordings this will be 50 years from release .\nby submitting my information above , i acknowledge that i have reviewed and agreed to the privacy policy and terms of use , and i agree to receive updates and marketing messages from time to time from [ artist name ] and [ its / his / her ] record label . for sms messages , i understand that message and data rates may apply , and that i may receive up to 2 sms messages per week from [ artist name ] ' s mailing list .\nwhat we know : painting with is anco\u2019s first record since 2012\u2019s centipede hz , and their first that wasn\u2019t worked out in concert . it was recorded without josh\ndeakin\ngibbs , and is heavily influenced by early beatles , early ramones , and dinosaurs .\nhowever , in this age of do -

for - hire studio creating art for games as diverse as littlebigplanet and killzone shadow fall . the plan was to use the money from those projects to fund original games .\nwe were always successful , we were always in work , but even four years later we still hadn ' t really made that much money ,\nexplains meade . but when mobile gaming became a viable path , fireproof finally took a chance .\ngraduating from warwick university in 2004 , simon began his games career at ea , working on the harry potter game series . after 4 years of programming character into harry potter , he ' d had enough of wizardry and joined supermassive games , where he worked on the start the party games and the bbc title walking with dinosaurs . in 2013 , with the attraction of working within a small company simon made his move to fireproof .\njeremy\u2019s career in the games industry began at supermassive games where he worked as designer on tumble ( the finest motion controlled , block - stacking physics puzzle game on ps3 ) and start the party : save the world ( the finest start the party game since start the party ) . he joined fireproof in 2013 because they said he could and that was just fine by him . his free time is spent playing games , arguing and playing games which involve arguing .\nin 1998 roger graduated in graphic design from leeds university and worked in london for 6 years at a variety of media companies before joining criterion games in 2004 as a previs and ui artist , where he created ui concepts and motion graphics for the burnout games and black . in 2008 roger joined the codemasters guildford studio as ui lead working primarily on bodycount , but left in 2010 to join his chums and head up the one man graphic design department at fireproof .\nin 2006 dave was forced into making video games to pay off his online poker debts . he first started at criterion coding physics on burnout paradise , and developing car crashing tech with rob . since then he shipped need for speed : hot pursuit and was physics lead on need for speed : most wanted . after 7 years of coding physics and car handling he was thoroughly bored of driving games , and jumped at the chance to reunite with the team at fireproof .\ndoomed to a life of boredom as an engineer , vasileios couldn ' t believe his luck when global recession and the ensuing chaos forced him to make a new start . so , he attended solent university to learn the ways of video game art . in the meantime , he interned at local start up company called rogue sun . there , he attained a glowing recommendation which he used to charm his way into fireproof , thus realizing a life - long dream of working in the games industry .\nthe room was a runaway hit , but it didn ' t do much to change the way the studio approached the sequel . with much of the staff focused on work - for - hire projects \u2014 fireproof spent the last 12 months building multiplayer maps for the most recent killzone games on the playstation 4 and vita \u2014 it again fell on a small team to build the room 2 . the studio was able to throw a few more artists at the project , but otherwise the development process was remarkably similar .\ntony began his career in art so far back now ( though not as far back as barry ) that he can\u2019t really remember how it all started . during the course of his career he has worked for a several game companies , some that he would prefer not to mention , working on titles that he\u2019d also prefer not to mention . then he joined criterion , creating artwork for the burnout games and black . since co -

on is permitted . on a recent trip , the only visible exceptions were cameras , purses , a tape recorder , and a lined writing tablet , and the last two probably apply only if you are doing a story on the airline .\nthen it\u2019s on to a cinderblock waiting room . it\u2019s not uncommon for the room to hold two flights\u2019 worth of passengers at once , but even at capacity , the crowd wouldn\u2019t fill the last nine rows of a 737 .\nthe mix of passengers depends on the destinations : groups of fishermen and some couples headed to walker\u2019s cay and bimini ; more couples , families , and a number of business people headed to atlantis , the resort complex on paradise island . everywhere are printed t\u2019s and bleached jeans and cutoffs .\nbimini , a ragged sevenmile strip of sand , was , in the early part of the century , principally a destination for sports fishermen . that changed abruptly in 1919 , with the enactment of prohibition . because it was the nearest of the still - wet bahamas , the island became a hub for smuggling alcohol into the states . chalk\u2019s began catering to bootleggers traveling to bimini to contact suppliers , pay them , and check on their inventory ; with equal courtesy and reliability , it transported numerous federal agents shadowing the smugglers . many of the most prominent gangsters of the era used chalk\u2019s , including a stocky , moonfaced sicilian named al capone .\nwith ascending fortunes , chalk built himself a small kiosk - style terminal at watson island , situated in biscayne bay between miami and miami beach . he also upgraded his inventory . one early acquisition was a benoist biplane . unlike the float - modified stinson , the benoist was a flying boat\u2014a hull lander , with no floats . the engine , built by roberts motors , was a two - stroke , water - cooled model that had the frequent bad habits of backfiring and belching flames , challenging chalk\u2019s skills equally as a mechanic and as a pilot .\nwhen prohibition ended in 1933 , bimini and the airline that served it began to attract another tier of travelers : errol flynn was a chalk\u2019s aficionado , and later so were ava gardner , lana turner , judy garland , and the eventual all - time king of flying boats , howard \u201cspruce goose\u201d hughes . ernest hemingway loved bimini for its access to deep - water fishing , and was a regular chalk\u2019s passenger during the 1940s .\naug . 15 , 1887 -

93 pts\nthe 10 . 32 hectare st . emilion vineyard of clos l\u2019oratorie is planted to 90 % merlot , 5 % cabernet franc and 5 % cabernet sauvignon . the character of the wine is the result of two unique terroirs .\nsince 2000 , ogier have been responsible for making the clos de l\u2019oratoire des papes , a wine created in 1880 by edouard amouroux and continued by the amouroux family : the label has not changed its design since 1926 . the grapes come from a 25 - hectare vineyard that boasts a perfect balance between ch\u00e2teauneuf - du - pape\u2019s three great soil types : the galets roul\u00e9s ( rounded pebble ) , safres ( fine sand ) and eclats calcaires ( limestone rock ) .\nclos de l\u2019oratoire des papes chateauneuf du pape is produced from 80 % grenache , 10 % syrah , 5 % mourvedre and 5 % cinsault . the vines for this wine are close to 50 years of age . the wine is aged in a combination of foudres and french oak barrels , some of which are new , but most are used . the wine is aged for 10 - 12 months before bottling . on average , the annual production is 7 , 000 cases per year .\nin 1991 , von neipperg was given control of nearby clos de l ' oratoire by his father , and he subsequently bought the remaining 30 percent of the property from other investors . he quickly realized that the estate , planted with almost 90 percent merlot , was imbued with different attributes than canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re and produced vastly different wines .\nin the first property , you learn the business ,\nhe says .\nin the second property , you adapt your knowledge to the terroir .\nclos de l & apos ; oratoire is located on saint - emilion & apos ; s north - east slope . the 10 . 32 hectares of vines grow on fronsac molasse covering a layer of sand with a clay subsoil . this terroir is ideally suited to the blend of merlot ( 90 % ) , cabernet franc ( 5 % ) , and cabernet sauvignon ( 5 % ) grapes . merlot contributes roundness and opulence to the wine , whereas cabernet franc is responsible for power , aromatic complexity , and length .\nclos de l ' oretoire is a bordeaux wine producer located on the northeast slope of saint - \u00e9milion . the estate has a history dating back to the 1800s and was originally part of ch\u00e2teau peyreau ' s vineyard land . the sites were purchased by the von neipperg family in 1972 . second - generation family member stephan von niepperg now owns and manages the estate , as well as several other bordeaux properties including ch\u00e2teau canon la gaffeli\u00e8re , la mondotte , ch\u00e2teau peyreau , clos marsalette , and ch\u00e2teau d ' aiguilhe .\nat clos de l ' oratoire many traditional vineyard practices are used to keep production down , thus concentrating flavour in the wine . grass is left to grow between the vine rows and pruning is quite severe . the vines are thinned out to keep yields down and to create the ideal natural equilibrium . fertilizer is mostly organic , and used sparingly . the grapes are hand picked and any poor - quality ones are immediately sorted out and eliminated in the vineyard . the vintage takes place as late as possible to obtain maximum ripeness .\nat canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re , the wines are soft and feminine . the challenge is attaining sufficient structure to frame the elegant fruit . at clos de l ' oratoire , in contrast , the merlot must fully ripen or the wines will be hard . when it does ripen , as in 1998 ( 94 points ) or 2000 ( 92 ) , the result can be outstanding . but von neipperg learned from experience the difficulty of trying to make a deeply extracted wine from a lesser vintage .\nthe wine will be out of balance ,\nhe says .\nthat was a lesson .\nin the ocean of vines surrounding the ruins of the papal palace , rising up from the galets stones , lie the vineyards of ch\u00e2teauneuf - du - pape . the ' clos de l ' oratoire ' is a place of prayer built in the 18th century , now an improving wine estate . an intense , perfumed and enticing array of sweet spices , brooding black fruits and sweet red cherries . earthy , fruity , spicy and complex layers of flavour a marshalled by firm tannins into a long finish . secret this away for ten years or drink now as the youthful fruits and juicy sweetness with roast veal or filets mignons .\n2009 clos l\u2019oratorie is a blend of 90 % merlot , 5 % cabernet franc , and 5 % cabernet sauvignon . owner stephan neipperg works the vineyards with a biodynamic approach . no herbicides , pesticides , or insecticides allowed . yields were only 28 hls per ha , in part because of the may hailstorm . smoke , licorice , coffee , and blackberry scents are coupled with supple textures in the mouth . the wine finishes with dark cherries and blackberry jam . 90 - 92\nthat has helped revise his reputation as a modernist ; he ' s now seen as more of a moderate .\nhe begins with techniques and goes 100 percent ,\nsays ch\u00e2teau ang\u00e9lus ' hubert de bo\u00fcard de laforest , president of the syndicat viticole of st . - emilion .\nbut then he ' s able to say , ' maybe i went too far , ' and change his approach . he ' s very open . he listens . that ' s important .\nthe change turned heads , but it was the wine in the bottle that really startled . made in limited quantities ( some 650 to 1 , 000 cases a year ) and in a highly extracted style , the wine immediately earned a reputation as a vin de garage , a winemaker ' s wine whose attributes reflected a disregard for the traditional handling of its particular terroir . it positioned von neipperg and coconspirator derenoncourt as raging modernists .\nwines like that are not meant to be drunk at table ,\ngazin ' s de bailliencourt says now .\nthey ' re meant to be drunk at competition , to see which one is better\u2014or more extracted .\nthe personality helps . were ch\u00e2teau pavie ' s polarizing owner gerard perse or globe - trotting pomerol - based consultant michel rolland to act as brazenly , they would be the topic of even more whispered conversations on the right bank than they already are . von neipperg , though , sails through\u2014and his wines with him .\nstephan is friendly with everybody ,\nsays nicolas de bailliencourt of pomerol ' s classically styled ch\u00e2teau gazin .\nand it ' s said that wines reflect the people who make them .\nin fact , he has quite literally chosen a different road , one that leads past st . - emilion to the commune of st . - philippe - d ' aiguilhe in the c\u00f4tes de castillon . the destination is a striking ch\u00e2teau that is barely visible from the road . this is ch\u00e2teau d ' aiguilhe , which since 1999 has gradually become von neipperg ' s favored property . of course , he ' ll still pour the canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re with delight and exult in the success of la mondotte , but aiguilhe is where his heart currently resides .\nout of a crumbling castle along the pilgrimage route to santiago de compostela , in the midst of 330 acres of an appellation known for rustic , less - than - serious wines , von neipperg has created a gravity - based modern winery and a wine that he believes will evolve into a masterpiece . a blend of 80 percent merlot and 20 percent cabernet franc , it is already nipping hard at the heels of the st . - emilions .\neverything i have learned in the last years ,\nhe says ,\ni have taken it and brought it here .\nsince 2000 , every ch\u00e2teau d ' aiguilhe that von neipperg released has scored 89 points or higher , a remarkable achievement for the appellation .\nhis name is stephan von neipperg . his title is count of the holy roman empire . he wears boldly striped ascots and silk handkerchiefs tucked into the double - breasted blazers he favors even on the warmest days . he seems like a max von sydow character come to life on bordeaux ' s right bank .\nuntil he greets you . before long , von neipperg ' s deadpan sense of humor and sweet - spirited sarcasm make themselves known . paging through the guest book at canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re , one of the six ch\u00e2teaus that he and his family own in and around st . - emilion , he encounters an inscription in chinese characters .\noh , that ' s so very nice , what he says ,\nvon neipperg quips , though he can ' t read a word of it . of the vintages of canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re that preceded his arrival in bordeaux in 1985 , he confides ,\nthey ' re so good , i give them away to the gendarmes each time i get a speeding ticket .\nsuch irreverence is a weapon , used benignly but with purpose . it has helped make von neipperg almost universally popular in st . - emilion , where rumor and innuendo are the social currencies . an outsider in a famously insular place , he remains above the fray , trafficking in quips and jokes in place of gossip .\ni have no jealousy ,\nhe says .\nif someone makes a good wine , i ' m so happy for him . if he sells it at a good price , that ' s not a problem for me .\ncoming from an outsider in particular , such moves seem guaranteed to disturb the existing order . yet von neipperg insists he ' s simply trying to produce the best possible wines .\npeople say i ' m a revolutionary guy ,\nhe says .\ni don ' t look like a revolutionary . in fact , i am bringing back a lot of the ways from 60 , 70 years ago .\nborn in 1957 in southern germany , von neipperg comes from a line of neckar valley winemakers that dates back 800 years . yet , as a young man , he had no intention of getting involved in wine . he was content to immerse himself in the study of politics and business theory and in his passion for classical music . that changed in 1983 , when he opened a bottle of 1953 canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re and tasted the fragrant fruit still evident after three decades .\nby then , his father was getting worried . joseph - hubert von neipperg owned and operated the weingut des grafen neipperg estate in w\u00fcrttemberg . in 1971 , he had journeyed west with a neighbor to negotiate the purchase of canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re and some affiliated properties . it was a time of economic crisis in bordeaux , and the ch\u00e2teau was on the market at a bargain price . joseph - hubert bought it and installed a manager , but seldom visited . he assumed that one of his eight children would get around to running it eventually .\nthe wines from this period showed not only the signs of this neglect , they reflected an accumulation of chemical fertilizers that for years had deadened the soil . when stephan tasted them at the family table in w\u00fcrttemberg , they confirmed his intention to stay away from the wine business . but after four older siblings became ensconced in other jobs , he agreed to reconsider . tasting from canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re ' s library , he was struck by the property ' s potential .\nto return to school again and make a third study , a technical study of wine , i had to really want to do it ,\nhe says .\nwines like [ the 1953 ] made it exciting .\nin 1985 , he brought his wife to st . - emilion , where they settled down to raise their family and develop the winery . if the project was worth doing , he figured , it was worth his total immersion . in the years that followed , he boldly lifted canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re out of the doldrums , one innovation at a time . he tramped around the globe , to as many as three dozen countries a year , seeking the latest techniques .\nin 1988 , he instituted a green harvest , dropping fruit in june to gain depth and ripeness in september . ( the property ' s vines are 55 percent merlot , 40 percent cabernet franc and 5 percent cabernet sauvignon ; the blend in the wine varies from year to year . ) he stopped using chemical fertilizers and insecticides in 1993 as he edged toward a more biodynamic approach .\njust like 70 years ago ,\nhe says .\nthe insects eat each other .\nhe harvested later than his neighbors and aged his cuv\u00e9es entirely in new oak . the wine has benefited . the 1990 , 1995 and 1998 vintages of canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re each earned 95 points on wine spectator ' s 100 - point scale upon release , while the 1993 , 2000 , 2001 and 2002 vintages each scored above 90 .\nin 1996 , after a cellar master left to pursue other opportunities , von neipperg found st\u00e9phane derenoncourt , a long - haired , guitar - strumming autodidact whose background could hardly have been more different than the count ' s .\ni was a laborer ,\nsays derenoncourt , who was working at ch\u00e2teau pavie - macquin at the time .\ni didn ' t meet a lot of people . but stephan came and talked to me , and he listened to what i had to say . everyone was worried about his choice to hire me . nobody in st . - emilion understood . people said , ' why do you hire a guy like that ? maybe he does drugs . rock and roll . be careful . ' but stephan didn ' t care about any of those people .\nst\u00e9phane ' s unusual , not the kind of guy you come across every day ,\nvon neipperg acknowledges .\nbut what i liked about him was not only that he had knowledge , but that he understood exactly what terroir means . he did what needed to be done in different places .\nvon neipperg believes that this is in part because derenoncourt is self - taught , so he relies on problem - solving skills rather than academic techniques .\nin france , we have a problem that if someone doesn ' t go to school , no matter how good he is , he ' s not respected ,\nhe says .\nwe ' re not like that in germany . i ' ve seen in my life so many people who have a lot of degrees\u2014they are engineers or doctors\u2014but they ' re not good at what they do . in our business , you need knowledge , but also sensitivity .\nin derenoncourt , who rather enjoyed shaking up staid bordeaux , von neipperg found the perfect partner for his next adventure : transforming a neglected vineyard producing second - rate wines into one whose bottlings now frequently sell for more than the first - growths .\none of the small parcels of land that joseph - hubert von neipperg purchased near st . - emilion in 1971 was a property called ch\u00e2teau mondotte . historically , grapes from the 11 - acre parcel east of town struggled to ripen , and the wine produced from them tended to lack charm .\nby 1995 , von neipperg was convinced that better techniques would enable the fruit to ripen successfully . that year he petitioned the local syndicat for the right to append mondotte ' s vineyards to canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re . refused permission , he decided to revamp the property and make an utterly different wine .\nhe was a little bit proud and a little bit angry ,\nderenoncourt says .\nduring the summer of 1996 , von neipperg supervised the construction of a tiny new winery in a cottage on the mondotte grounds . wooden fermentation tanks were installed (\ni like stainless steel very much\u2014for sardine cans ,\nvon neipperg says now ) , and the old pumping system was discarded .\nwe did everything differently ,\nhe says .\nwe cut down on production . and we paid real attention to making great wines from the property .\nthe resulting wine was so different from the old ch\u00e2teau mondottes that von neipperg changed the name of the property to la mondotte to highlight the new start .\nbesides ,\nhe says ,\nthat little house on the property is hardly a ch\u00e2teau .\nyet von neipperg insists that la mondotte is actually a terroir wine , with or without the word\nch\u00e2teau .\nhe notes that it is produced with indigenous yeasts and , in most years , with as little manipulation as possible . the vines\u201480 percent merlot and 20 percent cabernet franc\u2014average nearly 40 years of age , with some thick , gnarled vines of cabernet franc now in their eighth decade . yields are naturally low .\nand the terroir ? von neipperg grabs a flashlight and heads into the limestone quarries that were dug beneath the property decades ago .\nyou see this and you understand that it gives a lot of punch to the wine ,\nhe says , illuminating the rock wall of the cave .\nyou can never produce a lot of wine here . you only have this bit of dirt , and then the stone starts . but if you get ripe grapes , you get a sexy wine . some people say a wine made this way cannot age . i ' m laughing ! their 1997s are dead . mine is just starting to live .\nvon neipperg has evolved personally , too , a process accelerated by tragedy . in 1994 , his eldest child , 10 - year - old marie - beatrice , died in a fire at an equestrian camp . von neipperg was devastated , but having four children at home forced him to push ahead . when he emerged from his despair , he discovered that his approach to life had changed .\ni live in a more profound way now ,\nhe says .\ni am more present . i look only for what is most important in each day and i accept more easily the faults of other people . our lives are complex . we have pain . you have to be kind .\ntwo ch\u00e2teaus , beau - s\u00e9jour b\u00e9cot and ang\u00e9lus , were admitted into the elite grouping in 1996 , the last time the classification was revised , and at least one is likely to be added this year . von neipperg could make a strong argument that canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re has been making better wines than several of the 13 premier grand cru class\u00e9 properties .\nbut st . - emilion dislikes nothing so much as change , and the promotion of canon - la gaffeli\u00e8re would be perceived by many as tacit approval of von neipperg ' s boldness . accordingly , he is hopeful , but has no expectations . far from actively campaigning for promotion , he maintains the same studied nonchalance that has enabled him to thrive in st . - emilion for two decades .\ntwo decades into his life in st . - emilion , he is still perceived as an outsider who speaks french with a german accent , all his good humor notwithstanding . yet in this st . - emilion satellite , he is hailed as a savior .\nthey say , ' you ' re the guy we ' ve been waiting for , '\nhe says . if he manages 90 - point scores , it confirms that such a thing is possible in this backwater of bordeaux . other st . - emilion owners have now followed his example , buying and investing in their own castillon properties .\nbeyond this success , though , something about the setting at aiguilhe\u2014the hundreds of years of history and the rustic lifestyle\u2014touches von neipperg . the place seems basic and elemental in a way that the st . - emilion properties do not . in that sense , the dapper bearing and noble title hide a true man of the land .\nin all the wines i have , there ' s a lot of emotion , but in this one maybe more than the others ,\nhe says . his gaze is now opaque as he speaks and there is no mirth in his voice . despite his disarming smile , he has known real hardship in this foreign country .\nmaking wine is not always easy ,\nhe says .\ni put a lot of myself in my wine . i believe that you can feel it . i hope you can .\nto protect the quality of our conversations , only members may submit comments . member benefits include access to more than 315 , 000 reviews in our wine ratings search ; a first look at ratings in our insider , advance and tasting highlights ; value wines ; the personal wine list / my cellar tool , hundreds of wine -

based reissues label numero .\nhe quickly worked out that the music industry was very hard to break into , very cliqueish , so he made his money recording and pressing people ' s records , just providing a service for the people of cleveland .\nknow our heritage\nis inspired by the cleveland restoration society ' s 40th anniversary project , the african american experience in cleveland . with support from the ohio history fund , we share with you the important connections between historic sites in cleveland and the significant people and events that shaped them .\nboddie never shuttered his company . he died in 2006 , but he hadn ' t ever considered putting boddie recording company to bed permanently . instead , it faded quietly away , years of incredibly hard work and long hours settling silently under layers of dust in the buildings behind his house . boddie is a footnote to cleveland ' s musical history , more or less , but as the city ' s premier low - cost studio , he provided a huge service to the city ' s music scene for over 20 years . this set pulls some of that service into the light and tells a story with the records he left behind .\nwe had our first appreciative inquiry summit\u2014conducted by david cooperrider\u2014in april 2015 . the entire company gathered in one room for 2 . 5 days to design a shared future based on core strengths . cross - company collaboration produced prototypes for carrying the business forward with input from all employees , as well as clients , strategic partners and community leaders . momentum from the summit and its shared memory are powerful motivators sparking fathom\u2019s current and future growth .\nthomas boddie \u2013 who , between the years of 1959 and 1993 , ran an entirely self - contained and self - sufficient recording and manufacturing operation in the dairy barn behind his house in cleveland , ohio \u2013 was no wannabe - berry gordy pop magnate .\ntaking advantage of the bigger space next door , we built our own recording studio with a green screen to start online video production and marketing . our service offerings continued to expand , and month after month we regularly shattered previous revenue records . in 2010 , we were named to the inc . 5000 list of fastest - growing u . s . private companies for the first time , in addition to being named the # 2 fastest - growing company in cleveland by the prestigious weatherhead 100 .\nken hamann began recording as a staff engineer at cleveland recording company . his earliest recordings were\nsome polka things back in the 1950s . frankie yankovic , georgie cook , eddie habat , and a few of the other famous cleveland - style polkas .\nthe first rock recording of his that\nbroke out was the outsiders with ' time won ' t let me ' .\nit was recorded on a 3 - track .\nthe first run - through was strictly drums , guitar , bass . there were solos with the baritone sax , the organ , and so forth on another track . all of the vocals and other effects were on a third track . it took a lot of anticipation because we had to do a lot of sub - mixing . at the time , i remember i thought the organ was too hot , but that turned out to be one of the features of the record .\nthe late thomas boddie , an electronics whiz , designed his recording equipment to be portable . he ' s seen here working at a church convention in birmingham , ala . , in 1985 .\nboddie ' s interest in recording technology began as a hobby . an amateur electronics whiz , he built his own crystal radios and purchased a lathe - cutter . this hobby snowballed into his life ' s work after the boddie recording co opened its doors in 1959 , with local gospel and soul groups dropping by to record in his self - built studio and have their tracks cut by boddie ' s in - house vinyl manufacturing set - up .\nwhen i first started recording music , my first purchase was a trusty and reliable teac 3340 4 - track reel to reel recorder . that deck worked great for many years . i later upgraded to a fostex 8 - track , . . .\n\u201cif there are ways to get companies more quality traffic from higher organic rankings on google , then why not charge them for this service ? \u201d the thinking went . soon after , email distribution and pay - per - click management services were added to the new splinter company . this division of fathom it officially stood up on its own two legs as \u201cfathom seo\u201d in 2005 .\nboddie recording co was about self - reliance ,\nsays carfagna .\nthat they were a mom ' n ' pop studio operation that could also manufacture records was unique . and they didn ' t want to depend on anyone else for anything . the only things they couldn ' t provide themselves were the vinyl pellets from which they made the records . during the oil embargo of the 70s , they couldn ' t get these pellets , because the company in kentucky they purchased them from chose to service white businesses before african - american businesses . it only redoubled thomas ' s ambition to have the operation be entirely self - sufficient .\nthe equipment at cleveland recording was evolving over this time .\nat the very beginning we used rca broadcast equipment . i found that to be alright but not suitable for some of the things [ i was recording ] . having gone to germany to tour some studios then , in the late 1950s , we decided to move over into german - type of technology , with the use of the flat desk and the faders as we do today . so , i built one . i was able to buy some of those faders out of germany and i built my own console . the first one was a 3 channel output , and i think it had 10 channels of input . it was modest . that was sufficient to work with 3 track recording , which was then just beginning , on tape , and then mix down to 2 track , of course .\nboth the 3 track and 2 track decks were ampex 351 ' s , and he used 3m scotch tape .\nas we have read in previous editions of know our heritage , the number of african americans in cleveland swelled during the first decades of the twentieth century , as blacks moved from the rural south to the industrial north seeking greater opportunities . one of the most well - known african americans in cleveland during this time period was charles w . chesnutt . born in cleveland on june 20 , 1858 , chesnutt was the son of two free african americans who had moved north from fayetteville , north carolina . after the civil war , his family moved back to fayetteville , where his father opened a grocery store . chestnutt attended the freedmen ' s bureau school , and then he taught first in charlotte and later at the state colored normal school in fayetteville .\na lot of talent here in the city of cleveland ,\nlouise boddie , now 76 , explained recently .\nwe were just interested in exposing them and thinking that ' ok , if someone heard them , they would get a break . '\nthroughout it all , we\u2019ve never stopped having fun . we\u2019ve seen indians , cavs and lake erie monsters games , cleveland corporate challenges , summer picnics , parking lot cookouts , river cruises and movies , along with susan g . komen fundraisers for breast cancer and lls walks for leukemia and lymphoma . we\u2019ve played whirlyball , volleyball and mini - golf . we\u2019ve rented out parks , took over the rock hall , brought in a kentucky derby , and torn up dance floors at the finest establishments in downtown cleveland . we are fathom .\nthis mom ' n ' pop operation truly kicked into gear after boddie met his wife , louise , who established relationships between boddie recording and local churches and gospel choirs .\nthat was their bread and butter ,\ncarfagna says .\nboddie would press up 300 - album runs for local churches to sell to their parishioners , which kept the business afloat .\nwhile running cleveland ' s premier low - cost studio for over 20 years , thomas boddie provided a huge service to the city ' s music scene . this 3cd set pulls some of that service into the light and tells a story with the records he left behind .\nbut it was boddie ' s work preserving the soul , gospel and funk scene in cleveland that won him a following among record - collectors , thanks to his in - house labels bounty , luau and soul kitchen . while boddie never scored a chart hit , some of his recordings enjoyed a life far beyond cleveland ' s city limits : the badass funk of chrystal illusion by creations unlimited ( on soul kitchen ) has been sampled by dj shadow , madlib , dj spinna and more , while the headline ' s he ' s looking for a love ( on luau ) has been sending northern soul dancefloors wild since the mid - 70s .\nflewellen later took the collection to the former hough branch library at 1765 crawford road . this english renaissance revival style building was completed in 1907 and was a fully functioning branch of the library system until 1966 , when it became treasure house , a children ' s library . when the new hough library was built in 1984 , cleveland public library sold the building to the african american museum and it was renamed the ichabod flewellen building . at this time , the african american museum has not been open for several years , although there have been attempts to restore the building and reopen the museum . the flewellen collection of artifacts is now housed at the east cleveland library .\nthomas boddie passed away in 2006 , after which louise padlocked the studio and its archives , which were left untouched until carfagna began compiling the box set . along with thousands of hours of tape , he also discovered a story of pride and self - sufficiency behind what was cleveland ' s first - ever black - owned record label .\nit all started in downtown cleveland , 1997 , in a web development firm called \u201cvendor tech . \u201d vendor tech grew and eventually merged with it consulting firm fathom it in 2004 . from this marriage an seo firm was born\u2014thanks to a handful of web designers , developers and marketers in a corner of the 2nd floor of the caxton building .\nicabod flewellen was born in 1916 in williamson , west virginia . when he was thirteen , he began to collect newspaper clippings dedicated to the history of african americans . in 1949 , when his home was firebombed by white supremacists and his collection destroyed , flewellen migrated to cleveland . in cleveland , flewellen again began collecting african - american historical artifacts . he founded the afro - american historical and cultural society in his home at 8716 harkness avenue ( pictured left ) in the hough neighborhood in 1953 . flewellen collected much of this material by going from door to door and asking neighbors about their family histories . eventually he purchased the cuyahoga telephone exchange building at 1839 e . 81st street to hold his collection .\nbased in cleveland with offices in major metropolitan areas throughout the country , conrad kacsik is the largest independent controls and instrumentation distributor and service provider in the u . s . our success is a testament to our reputation for service , dependability and attention to quality . we retain 95 % of our clients because of our exacting quality standards and continuous innovation .\nlooking at my pere ubu liner notes , i noted the frequent appearance of the last name\nhamann\n. after some confusion , i realized that there were two different first names which accompanied it . i learned that ken hamann was the father of paul hamann , and poked around to find that they ' d recorded a styrenes single and a girls single . a friend added that ken hamann had recorded a grand funk album . it wasn ' t until i talked to the hamanns that i discovered the extent of their history in recording and the rest of the story behind their studio , suma , in painesville , ohio .\nfor those who may be unaware , this group may very well be one of the greatest cleveland exports to ever walk the streets of ohio ' s jewel of the rust belt . however we ' re confident that in the very near future the unwashed folks who have yet to experience the crushing beauty of the band will wise up and get hip to the damaged and beautiful music that only the truly sick and sickly true have come to love and appreciate thus far .\nthe brainchild of cleveland ' s weirdo laureate gregory zerik and consistently changing cast featuring the area ' s favored misfits and saddened souls , rubella has been churning out some of our favorite damaged pop and dark synth music for years and we ' re extremely excited to be working on their next record . some of the other folks out there in the far reaches of the internet have said of past releases\ndark synth punk that recalls equal parts units and nine inch nails . required listening for all your weird late night drives of 2016 .\ncoming out as a collaborative effort between alternative underground , grizzly records , and eleventh hour ! originally released as an ep , this will see an expanded track list as our favorite flamenco punks move on up to a fresher stereo sound on glorious 12 inch vinyl . we ' ve been fans of gary v ' s songwriting ever since the mid - 2000s and this album is no different . chock full of great punk rock and surf hooks and infused with both latino and pop sensibilities , lysc have torn across the country and back on a mission to melt your eardrums and move your feet . hailing from one of our favorite non - cleveland cities in philadelphia pa , the group has already drawn favorable attention from the underground ' s esteemed degenerates and high class tastemakers alike . if you haven ' t already heard the ep then\nnone of it is especially polished , and it ' s hard to pinpoint the potential hits that never were , because there were so many records like this being made at the time ; but there is a certain optimism and spirit of hard work in these recordings that makes them an exciting body of work to listen to all at once . the same can be said of the earlier recordings on disc two , which were mostly released on the luau label . there are some great band names - - the atomic aces and the modern detergents definitely top the list - - and a lot of rollicking r & b on the disc , which works with disc one to paint a picture of the evolving soul scene in cleveland during the era . there was a lot of talent toiling down there in the dead - end clubs , and boddie captured a good cross - section of it .\nhe smoking tombs may be remembered more fondly outside of their hometown of cleveland than in it , as the band played more shows away from home than inside their fair city . that doesn ' t make us like their music one bit less though . started by noted songwriter a . p . hilliard and featuring members of much - beloved bands as drill kitty and the ohio city rollers , the group ' s sound crosses lo - fi thinking man ' s pop with a hammond organ driven beat . with their non - revivalist , no frills approach to music you ' re not going to hear something shiny and new , but you also won ' t be hearing a band trying to fit itself a niche either . our closest description might be if the 60s stones played cars songs and were fronted by townes van zandt . expect to see this single towards the end of 2018 .\nwe went through a period when we were trying to imitate motown sounds in the late 60s . they had unique sounds then . i became very good friends with their chief engineer , mike mclaine , who is more of technical person than a music person . all of the ideas we picked up were not from mike , but rather from their records . mostly their snare drum sounds and the bass . we discovered that a lot of the sound was due to how the drums were tuned and mic ' d . we did a lot of experimenting . the bass drum was a lot stiffer usually , and there ' s padding put on the surface of the head .\nthe next few years brought two bands to hamann and the studio which influenced the techniques which he used at the time .\njimmy fox came in with a group called the james gang , featuring joe walsh . then terry knight came in with a new group called grand funk railroad . i did their first several albums , including ' closer to home ' , which is still one of my favorites .\nthe first grand funk album marked the first use of the studio ' s new ampex mm -

( for more on our culture , be sure to check the jobs page . ) if you think you have what it takes , send your resume and some code samples in c + + or c # to jobs @ undeadlabs . com .\nas you fight the undead hordes you\u2019ll find new survivors . your favorite characters from lifeline can now be unlocked in breakdown , including the previously unplayable kelly \u201csasquatch\u201d eldridge .\nstate of decay : lifeline , the second expansion and the first story - based add - on for undead labs ' hit xbox live arcade title , turns the tables on state of decay by putting the player on the military side of humanity ' s efforts to repel the zombie threat . but as we saw during a demo of lifeline at pax east 2014 , that doesn ' t mean that the dlc will shy away from what made the original game so special : exploring the psychological effects of dealing with the undead .\nlifeline is a single - player expansion ; strain said last year that it wasn ' t feasible to add a multiplayer component to state of decay . but as a result of the multi - year , multi - game agreement between undead labs and publisher microsoft studios that the companies announced in january , the state of decay brand is here to stay \u2014 and multiplayer action is the bedrock of its future .\nundead labs , creators of the smash hit survival - fantasy game state of decay , is home to an elite team of programmers , artists , designers , musicians , and producers . above all else , we love games and we love to try new things . if you think you could help to create our unique brand of innovative games for gamers on all platforms , we want to hear from you .\nmy experience with our team and microsoft has been that it is built from very passionate , very smart people whose hearts are in the right place ,\nsaid strain . he pointed out that state of decay was a risky proposition to invest in , partly because undead labs\ndid violate game dev 101\nwith several of its design choices , like the inclusion of permadeath in a role - playing game .\nfinally , when i had just parted ways with glu ( after eleven years at the same office ) , i got a call from richard foge , the design director at undead labs . state of decay was shipping , and they had an opening for a designer to handle the expansions . he thought i should apply , and if i was a good fit for the team and the job , then i\u2019d be in .\nthen i went to pax 2012 , and stumbled into this tiny booth on the edge of microsoft territory , where this studio i\u2019d never heard of called undead labs was demoing the exact game i wanted to make . i started talking to them excitedly about the potential of their state of decay franchise , and over the course of the next year , we had lunch several times , exchanged e - mails , and really got to know each other .\nmicrosoft have gone on a spending spree , buying four studios and opening a new one of their own . during their e3 pressblast tonight , microsoft announced that they\u2019ve picked up forza horizon developers playground games , hellblade developers ninja theory , state of decay developers undead labs , and we happy few developers compulsion games . they\u2019ve also opened the initiative , a new studio in santa monica with a name like a faction of wwe heels . read the rest of this entry \u00bb\nstate of decay developers undead labs today announced a sequel to their community - building zombie apocalypse survival game , coming to windows 10 in 2017 . the big feature for state of decay 2 [ official site ] is online co - op , letting up to four players join up to romp around the end of human civilisation . between this and dead rising 4\u2019s announcement , it has been a good day for co - op zombiefun . have a look at sod2 :\nin a post on the undead labs blog , studio founder jeff strain \u2014 a veteran programmer who worked on starcraft and diablo and co - founded guild wars studio arenanet \u2014 detailed the new game ' s features . moonrise will feature 3d visuals and be multiplayer - focused , with real - time online play available between friends . players will collect magical creatures they can use in real - time strategic combat scenarios , as well as customize these creatures and their own created character .\nstate of decay didn\u2019t impress me when i played it last september . originally released on the 360 , undead labs\u2019 debut is an open world survival game with a structure remarkably close to my ideal zombie game . it\u2019s about scavenging , gathering survivors , barricading , running out of supplies , collecting vehicles and avoiding enormous hordes of the living dead . great ingredients that didn\u2019t quite make for a fine banquet , but it\u2019s a much better game now than it was a year ago .\nif guttural howls from those strange , primitive hill people in console land are anything to go by , state of decay is apparently quite excellent . we at rps have been eagerly awaiting its arrival on pc while sipping fine scotch and inventing new classical instruments , and now it\u2019s finally made the leap . kinda . the nicely freeform zombie sandbox is playable on our platform of choice right this very second , but you\u2019ll have to contort your highly evolved digits around a controller in order to make with all the driving , surviving , and undead drop - kicking . it\u2019s not all bad , though . undead labs actually wants your help coming up with a fitting keyboard - and - mouse control setup \u2013 among other things .\n\u2018class3\u2019 is the codename for the ambitious zombie - survival open world game currently under development at undead labs for release as an xbox live arcade title . \u2018class4\u2019 is the codename for the subsequent zombie - survival online world game that we will develop by building on the class3 platform . in other words , class3 runs on your xbox 360 and supports 1 - 2 players via xbox live or on the same screen , while class4 will provide a much larger server - hosted world for thousands of simultaneous players .\nour open positions are listed below . unless otherwise stated , all positions are for full - time employment at the undead labs studio in downtown seattle . if one of them describes you , send us an email expressing your interest in joining us . if you know someone who works at the lab , please express your interest to that person directly . if we haven\u2019t had the opportunity to meet you yet , please send us an email with links to your online portfolio and resume to jobs @ urltoken .\nlike every game we will ever make , moonrise is a gamer - focused game , meaning it ' s developed for people like us \u2014passionate gamers who expect our time and money to be treated with respect ,\nstrain added in his post .\nit ' s also fully an undead labs game in terms our complete commitment to the player community and long term support for the game . moonrise is as much our baby as state of decay , and babies needs lots of love and attention .\nif you ' ve been feeling some burnout from the zombie overload in pop culture of late , then you run the risk of missing out on some cool stuff .\nthe walking dead\ntv series was great stuff and the just - released zombie map for\ncall of duty : black ops\nfeatures space monkeys , which is absolutely fine . now there ' s news of an upcoming xbox live arcade title from undead labs that the developer hopes will put a whole new spin on zombie video gaming .\nmoonrise is of course very different from state of decay in many ways ,\nstrain wrote .\nit ' s bright and colorful , it ' s fantastical , and it ' s on mobile . but despite those notable differences , you ' ll also find that it ' s very much an undead labs game , with a focus on systems - driven content , sophisticated progression mechanics , and a few bold design choices \u2014 such as strategic real - time combat \u2014 we think will result in a fresh gameplay experience .\ni\u2019m almost done catching up on news i missed over the long holiday weekend and , aw , this last bit\u2019s bad news . state of decay creators undead labs are planning to close their pocket monster battling game moonrise [ official site ] without ever officially launching it . moonrise launched on steam early access in may , selling $ 15 and $ 20 bundles of creatures and virtuacash and whatnot . it was supposed to turn free - to - play when it launched but , well , it won\u2019t launch and they\u2019ve pulled it from sale .\nmissions in lifeline will focus on picking up people trapped in danforth and bringing them back home so the military can extract them to safety via helicopter when the next resource drop comes around . as in state of decay , your outpost becomes more challenging to manage as its population grows . we watched undead labs founder jeff strain play a rescue mission in lifeline , and before he began , he scrolled through the game ' s interface for building out your base . keeping the place sanitary is a key factor in maintaining morale , so strain constructed a latrine .\nthe long - term goal for this project is meant to culminate in\nclass4 ,\na massively multiplayer outing that brings the basic mechanical precepts established in\nclass3\ninto a much larger space and for considerably higher numbers of players . that ' s going to happen much further down the line , after\nclass3\n- - a full - blown game that will also serve as a testing ground - - has been put through its paces . for now , undead labs is partnered with microsoft on the xbox live arcade release and in concept at least it sounds freaking awesome .\nwhen our adam asked \u201chave you played\u2026 state of decay ? \u201d he noted that the open - world zombie survive \u2019em up had become a lot better in the year since its release , thanks largely to its \u2018breakdown\u2019 dlc . what we here at rps have apparently neglected to mention so far is that developers undead labs are revamping state of decay for a prettied - up rerelease with its dlc bundled in as the year one survival edition . oh ! well , they are . and now they\u2019ve announced a release date . unfortunately , it won\u2019t come as an upgrade , only sold separately .\ntheir intention for the open - world game is to put just as much emphasis on the challenges of surviving in a post - apocalyptic , zombie - infested world as they will on actually bringing down the shambling hordes in open combat . food , water , shelter and ammo are listed as necessary resources to seek out and maintain . shelters will need to be built , but since location is also important you ' ll need to explore the open environment , either on foot or in a vehicle . you can even bring a friend along , as undead labs plans for two - player cooperative play .\nit makes sense when you consider undead labs ' multiplayer ambitions for the state of decay series ; in fact , when strain announced the formation of the studio in 2009 , the title of the press release said the company was created to develop a\nconsole - based zombie mmo .\nasked about the xbox live compute cloud \u2014 the xbox one ' s highly touted cloud - based computing technology \u2014 strain told us ,\nthe azure infrastructure is huge . the existing live infrastructure is really quite mature and robust . and those are all things that we ' d love to take advantage of .\nwhat we\u2019ve found is that while some people really love moonrise , there were unfortunately many more people who played the game and then moved on after a few days . for a standalone , offline game that might be fine ; but for an online game with significant server hosting costs and an expectation for ongoing development and new content , it can mean a game that not only doesn\u2019t pay for it\u2019s development costs , but might even cost money to operate . as you can imagine , that\u2019s not something that makes sense for an independent studio like undead labs , nor for that matter would it be a good business decision even for a large publisher .\nas you know , moonrise has been in beta on steam in the early access channel for the past few months . at the same time , the ios version of the game has been available in limited release , in countries including australia and canada . during this beta period we\u2019ve been gathering data on how people play the game . the free - to - play model , and the mobile market , are new territory for undead labs , so we\u2019ve been paying close attention to these numbers to make sure we\u2019re making a game people are excited to play , and also a game that we can operate profitably and sustainably with the level of support you expect .\nah , there\u2019s nothing like throwing a pipe bomb at a group of zombies , and having that pipe bomb freeze in mid - air right in front of your face and explode . state of decay 2 wasn\u2019t good at many things , but it was good at being a buggy jankfest . now , a patch from developers undead labs includes fixes for the accidental facebomb , along with some more of the worst bugs , like disappearing health bars and doors that won\u2019t stay open . the patch is 20 gb large , perhaps a testament to just how much of the zombie survival game was left unpolished when it released ( for windows 10 only ) last month . read the rest of this entry \u00bb\nmicrosoft and undead labs announced that they were bringing an enhanced version the game to xbox one and pc last august , and now they ' ve released additional details about what ' s in the remastered version . the year - one edition combines the original release and its two previously released dlc packages , breakdown and lifeline . breakdown was the game ' s sandbox mode , which stripped the story away from the original release and simply challenged players to stay alive as long as they could . breakdown moved the action into a new city , and let players experience the catastrophe from the perspective of a military unit . as they learned , superior firepower only means so much against such an unrelenting opponent .\nwatching the state of decay 2 [ official site ] trailer which came out of e3 it got me thinking about how focused the games industry is on the human undead . sure there are sometimes a few pets or whatnot which appear sometimes in a horror movie - ish way \u2013 this thing which was cute is now scary \u2013 but why aren\u2019t people resurrecting dinosaurs ? is this a comment on whether a t - rex has a soul ?\nmove through the world like a zombie - slaying badass . dive through windows , jump on cars , and take it to the living dead with baseball bats . hop in a truck and mow down some undead pedestrians . break into the local police station and clear out their arsenal or walk into the local grocery store to stock up on your favorite junk food . the world is your oyster\u2026a shiny oyster that happens to be filled with zombies .\n- - sets itself apart . we recently spoke with strain about how the team ' s first onus ( which recently found a publishing partner in microsoft game studios ) stands out among a veritable field of undead offerings , and he explained succinctly ,\nin a real zombie apocalypse , you wouldn ' t just gather up the guns and go hunting zombies . you ' d be trying to avoid them . you ' d be trying to survive .\ncome the zombie apocalypse the jugglers are the first against the wall . what to do with an unemployed children\u2019s entertainer is one of the tamer dilemmas thrown up in the three hours i spent with state of decay 2 . but it\u2019s indicative of undead lab\u2019s slightly goofy take on zombie survival , one that has you desperately scavenging for supplies one second and weighing up the combat potential of a barista the next . i condensed all this , and the game\u2019s other new features , into one convenient 20 minute walkthrough .\nstrain left ncsoft last summer to build a creative studio around the most talented \u2013 and zombie loving \u2013 developers in the industry , and to pioneer a new development model that will create a new breed of mmo built from the ground -

fi military bases , and have them fight to the last man against ruthless invaders who left a trail of sword - impaled lego corpses in their wake .\nwe eventually compromised with natural disasters like floods and tornadoes , which satisfied my need for destruction , as well as her insatiable desire to care for sad refugees .\nbut this pattern of using our toys to tell our own stories persisted through a range of different interests . i used to watch transformers and g . i . joe on tv , but for the life of me , i couldn\u2019t retain any of those scripted plotlines . i was much more interested in the persistent characters and stories i was creating myself , over the course of years , with my legos , my stuffed animals , and my ( naturally sentient ) hot wheels cars .\ni\u2019ve played video games for as long as i could remember . my dad was a game critic in the eighties , and so video games showed up randomly at our house by the truckload . my dad didn\u2019t have time to play them all , so he subcontracted that work out to me . my job was to play every game that entered the house , evaluate them , come up with themed lists of games to demo for him , and then give him the raw material to write his articles with .\ni couldn\u2019t write like he could , but it was a transformative experience for me to play all those games , not just for fun ( though many of them were ) , but to root out what could be said about them on an analytical level .\nunfortunately , i never had the patience or temperament to learn to program ( see : me quitting making board games as soon as it became hard ) . and as far as i knew at the time , that was the only way to get involved in video games . so when i graduated high school , i went on to film school , and started training to become a director and screenwriter .\nbut i noticed a difference between me and some of the other folks in the film department . you could sort of tell who was going to make it \u2014 the ones who imagined themselves making a movie , and then just went out and did it . the ones who didn\u2019t need a class project to get them moving . the ones who would take a minor video assignment and turn it into a full - scale production , because they could , and because they loved it . they devoted every waking minute to their art , because it was both work and play for them .\nmeanwhile , i would just go home and stay up all night playing video games .\ni played a couple of the most influential games of my life during this period . the original two\ngames did something that felt revolutionary to me \u2014 letting me make an extremely arbitrary character , sending me out into the deadly wasteland , and then giving me the agency to decide how i would affect the world , for good or evil .\nthe first time i won , and saw the final montage of the effects my choices had on future history , i was completely hooked . i made character after character , trying different strategies , and coming up with different motivations . \u201cthis woman hates mutants . \u201d \u201cthis guy is socially anxious , and avoids speaking to anyone . \u201d\ni was telling my own stories again , just like i did with my legos \u2014 only this time , i had a world that was created by someone else , which would push back against me in surprising ways , and provide me with feedback for my decisions . once , i accepted a mission to assassinate someone at an orphanage ( because i was \u201cbeing evil\u201d at the time ) , and when i did , a room full of children assaulted at me , and i had to mow them down . that playthrough stopped right then \u2014 i couldn\u2019t continue because the story i was telling was too ugly . and i learned something about myself .\nit was deus ex that clinched it for me . on my third playthrough [ spoilers \u2014 seriously , you should play this game if you haven\u2019t already ] , on a lark , i decided to stand my ground during the scene where the men in black are coming for my brother , and he is ordering me to flee . i assumed that the developers were using my brother\u2019s voice to tell me what i had to do , so i didn\u2019t expect to be able to survive . i saved my game , and prepared to meet my doom .\nbut with the right placement of mines and some luck , i actually did survive . and my brother lived . later , in the scene where i was supposed to find his body , there was someone else on the gurney . and his voice was now in my ear , over the radio , influencing my moral decisions , throughout the rest of a story that i thought i had already played to death , twice before .\na choice that i made had a ripple effect in this world . this was my story now , to a degree that it had never been before . there was something profound about that , and i wanted more of it . i wanted to be a part of making more of it .\nwhen i was twenty - four , my dad asked me to represent him at a meeting with amaze entertainment , a video game developer in the seattle area that was courting him for some work . i ended up spending two days with them , telling them exactly how i would design the game they wanted to make .\nback then , the game industry was the wild west . there weren\u2019t any college programs , or other \u201cofficial\u201d ways to get into the game industry . owners of game companies had to be on the lookout for potential entry - level hires in all kinds of random places , and in this case , they decided to offer an entry - level position to me .\nthis blew my mind . i looked at all the time and effort i was putting into being a filmmaker , and suddenly , i did not give a crap about any of it . making games was what i wanted to do ; it was obvious . and now i had a problem .\nwhat worried me was that story i told at the very beginning : i quit making board games as soon as it became hard . making video games was my dream job , and now it was about to become hard . and i had never seen myself actually accomplish something difficult , ever in my life .\ni was the sort of kid who coasted through school , did whatever caught his eye , but never got really devoted to any of it . that helped me on one level , because it meant i played a lot of video games . but it also meant i was lazy . a procrastinator . the kind of kid who cleaned his room once a year , when it finally got bad enough that it was an adventure instead of a chore . the kind who lost a scholarship because he was in a bad mood on finals week . the kind of kid you never want to give any serious responsibility to .\nsuddenly , for the first time in my life , i had this unbelievable opportunity that i was going to screw up . you\u2019ve heard of impostor syndrome ? holy crap , did i have impostor syndrome . i knew i didn\u2019t deserve that job , and i knew that if anyone found out how lazy and procrastinating i really was , they would fire me immediately .\nso i spent years pretending to be a really hard worker . it\u2019s not a hard act to pull off \u2014 you just have to do an awful lot of work . i practically lived at the office , pouring everything i had into the games i was assigned to work on . at one point , i actually won a minor prize in an m & m\u2019s sweepstakes because i was living entirely off the candy and ramen on the studio\u2019s snack table .\ni was made a lead designer fairly early in my career \u2014 and not because i was ready for it at all . it was more of a battlefield promotion in the midst of attrition . but i managed to hold onto it , partly through sheer luck \u2014 each of my own disasters was dwarfed by a larger disaster elsewhere in the company that made me seem tolerable by comparison .\nwhat we did was mostly licensed work \u2014 low - budget games based on kids\u2019 movies , and handheld spinoffs of other people\u2019s franchises . but i genuinely\nin 2011 , i thought i was about to get my shot at doing something new . the industry was changing , the licensed work was running dry , and so amaze\u2019s parent company sold it off to up - and - coming mobile giant glu .\nwe spent the first few months at glu pitching all our crazy original ideas , including this one i\u2019d been nurturing for a while \u2014 a game about a community of survivors during a zombie apocalypse that was much more about the characters and the dynamic storytelling than it was about the danger and the violence .\nin the end , i was assigned to other projects , and those original ideas went onto a back burner that was so far back , it was pretty much the fridge .\nso that\u2019s how i finally got the chance to do the work i\u2019d been preparing for since i was seven years old . the state of decay franchise is poised to break new ground in the realm of video game storytelling , and through a series of incredibly improbable events , i\u2019m actually a part of it , contributing the ideas and experiences that i\u2019ve collected over the past thirty years to the ones that were already here , and the ones that came in after me .\nthere is one subplot here , though , that i skipped . when i landed my first job in the game industry , and suddenly went from procrastinating aspiring screenwriter to job - having career guy , one of the first things i did was propose to my girlfriend . now we\u2019re married with four children , and my second daughter is the same age that i was when i started this whole journey thirty years ago .\nwhen moonrise was canceled , her first response was , \u201cbut we worked so hard on it ! \u201d as an early access player , she felt like she was part of the team . she would make suggestions all the time , and once even got a weapon idea into state of decay . ( if you like the pirate cutlass , you have her to thank for it ! )\ni like to imagine that my job is giving her the same kind of opportunity that my dad\u2019s job gave to me \u2014 a chance to see games not just as an idle pastime , but as an important art form that adults think deeply about , and devote their careers to .\nshe doesn\u2019t actually have to be a game designer , of course . right now , she says she\u2019s planning to be a farmer , so she can pet animals every day . but when i remember the transformations that i went through playing fallout and deus ex , i\u2019m thrilled by the idea that the work we do here might one day affect some other young mind , and through them , continue pushing out the boundaries of what video games are capable of .\n\u00a9 2018 viacom international inc . all rights reserved . mtv and all related titles and logos are trademarks of viacom international inc .\nlifeline casts the player as a member of greyhound one , a small platoon that ' s attempting to maintain order in the overrun city of danforth . unlike in state of decay , you start out with plenty of rations and support from the larger military . but all of it dwindles over time in the face of the zombie outbreak : your supplies gradually deteriorate , and resupplies from your group ' s commanders become more rare . that forces you and your comrades to head out of your base into town , in an attempt to rescue civilians and gather resources to fortify your defenses .\nafterward , he went into danforth on a mission to rescue a man named dr . madison grant . lifeline includes some new vehicles and graphical improvements over the original game , and they were apparent in our demo . according to strain , lifeline brings a brand - new region with an area of 4 square kilometers into state of decay . he drove along a highway littered with zombies and abandoned vehicles to get to dr . grant , and then the two of them escaped the area together .\nthis isn ' t an escort mission with a helpless person . the ai for grant wasn ' t dumb : he followed strain ' s character as strain switched cars , and dr . grant even managed to fight off some zombies while in the bed of a pickup truck strain was driving . once they made it back to the outpost , strain explained that other rescue missions will direct you to soldiers marooned in danforth ; after all \u2014 as in state of decay \u2014 it ' s possible for the player character to die , and once that happens , you ' ll switch to controlling a different soldier . if all the soldiers bite the dust , it ' s game over . that can also occur if you lose too many civilians to zombie attacks on your base .\nwe have long - term ambitions for the franchise ,\nsaid strain in an interview following the demo , referring to the deal with microsoft .\nwherever we take this , in terms of sequels , multiplayer will be built in from the beginning .\nwhen you look at some of the things we want to do going forward , if you want to be on the console platform , it takes some different thinking about the console business model , about the live infrastructure and network infrastructure that traditionally you associate with the console experience ,\nhe said .\nwe ' re going to have to have somebody who ' s a partner working with us on the technology to make all that happen . and so working directly with microsoft is going to be a huge win going forward for that .\nstrain also praised microsoft ' s recent announcement that microsoft studios chief phil spencer was being promoted to head of xbox .\nphil ' s a fan of the game , he ' s a fan of the studio \u2014 he wears his state of decay t - shirt up on the stage at e3 \u2014 and he ' s super excited about where we ' re going . so we were very happy with it ,\nsaid strain .\nlifeline is the latest piece of that bright future for state of decay . the expansion is set for release this june ; strain couldn ' t confirm a price , but said it will likely be\npretty close\nto the first add - on , breakdown , which costs $ 6 . 99 .\nfallout 76\u2019s todd howard : no cross - console play because \u2018sony is not as helpful as everyone would like . \u2019\nthis article has a component height of 19 . the sidebar size is long .\n. we can ' t help but sympathize with their worries - - in the past three years , we ' ve crushed , shot , sliced , exploded and generally obliterated more virtual zombies than we could ever possibly hope to count throughout the fullness of time .\nwe wanted to build a game around the central question of ' what would you do in the zombie apocalypse ' ,\nstrain explained .\nwe ' ve all had the experience of going to a great zombie movies , coming out with our friends and grabbing a beer and , you know , you sit around talk about what your personal strategy is . would you go to a helicopter , would you try to get on a boat , would you get in a car and try to drive to some remote farm somewhere - - everyone has their own idea of how they ' d survive . we thought it would be fun to build a game around that concept .\nplayers will carry out their strategies in a third - person , over the shoulder\nfast - paced action\nshooter , exploring locations scattered across the zombie - infested sandbox town of dunniway . while exploring , players will make decisions that affect how the zombocalypse evolves , all the time searching for a home base that they can fortify with resources scattered throughout the environment .\nwhat makes this game really different is the focus not on combat with zombies , but surviving the zombie threat ,\nstrain said .\nstealth , evasion , securing your resources , figuring out ways to distract the zombies so they don ' t pile up on you , and moving through the world in a very kind of realistic way .\nfinding weapons is certainly a big part of it , but by weapons , we mean more than guns ,\nstrain added .\nyou live in this world that is filled with the clutter of 21st century civilization that ' s now yours for the plucking . there ' s all kinds of things that could be weapons : from the serious , like knives and crowbars , to the humorous , like golf clubs and baseball bats ."]}

according to some works , the soul goes on to heaven , while according to others , it is reincarnated . if the soul is found unworthy as it crosses the bridge to the afterlife , it slips down into hell where it remains . in either case , the soul was not expected to return to the land of the living and , if one did , and it was not an ancestor appearing in a dream with some warning or advice , it was certain some kind of evil force was involved .\n@ rza classic ! pure comedy . it ' s landspeed records all over again . some things never change . . . . cant front tho , bob ' s still a hustler .\nnot many temples have a gallery speaking its records . well this has , and it speaks about the ruins collected decades back , for an ancient temple of centuries worth . re - built by sardar patel , the current structure also is very mesmerizing , do get inside during the\naratees\nto feel the real aura of this place . also , look for a man near the seaside of the temple with a giant telescope bolted to the ground ;

if the heart was found lighter than the feather , the soul proceeded on to the afterlife , while if it was heavier , it was thrown to the floor where it was eaten by a monster and the soul would cease to exist . one ' s heart would be lighter if one had lived a good life and heavier if one had not . the afterlife was known as the field of reeds , which was a mirror image of one ' s life on earth in egypt . one would enjoy the house one knew , the stream by that house , one ' s favorite tree and dog , and so there was no reason for a soul to want to return to earth unless that soul had a very good reason for doing so .\n1929 was the beginning of the\ngreat depression era\n, resources were scarce and money was scarcer . not only were families struggling , the church was struggling as well . under the great leadership of reverend wildy , allen temple became a\nrefuge in a time of storm\n. allen temple was among other churches that\nfed the hungry and clothed the naked\n. times were hard , but god ' s strength provided stability .\nthe reverend doctor malvina stephens was the first woman among many to come to be ordained by dr . smith sr . at allen temple . dr . stephens headed up the prison ministry and congregational care among many other ministries . dr . stephens was called from labor to reward , september 16 , 2014 . another outstanding female clergy is the reverend doctor eunice shaw , director of health and social services , and thursday noonday bible study . numerous other female clergy serve in leadership roles at allen temple ;

present . on march 15 , 2009 , the reverend dr . j . alfred smith , jr . , was called by an overwhelming majority vote to take up the mantel as senior pastor of allen temple baptist church . not only had he served for many years at allen temple as co - pastor , he brought the experience of a senior pastor , of the historic antioch baptist church , san jose . the installation service was celebratory , joyful and included a wide spectrum of church members . the participation of youth and young adults signaled a new and brighter vision for the church as young people became more prominent in worship service as leaders . dr . smith jr . , is not only a highly gifted preacher , he is an intellectual scholar at san francisco state university and served as an adjunct professor in the doctor of ministry program . he is the recipient of the american baptist homes of the west affordable housing award in 2007 . dr . smith jr . is well established as a gatekeeper for social justice as a community activist . he serves in a leadership capacity at the progressive national baptist convention .\nfollowing reverend allen , there was a series of pastoral changes . the reverend james dee wilson served for one year , 1926 . rev . wilson was well known throughout the country as a dynamic preacher , musician and social justice activist . reverend wilson served as moderator of the general baptist association . according to the mcgee avenue church history records , reverend james dee wilson became pastor of mcgee avenue baptist church in 1935 . reverend wilson and his wife sara resided on stuart street , berkeley . reverend wilson ' s date of birth is listed july 20 , 1878 . he was called from labor to reward , september 16 , 1949 .\nin the earlier period of egypt , the soul was considered a single entity known as the khu , the immortal aspect of an individual but , in later times , the soul was thought to be comprised of five different components . two of these components , the ba and ka ( spirit and personality ) , came together after death in the form of the akh , and it was this entity that would return as a ghost . if proper rites had not been observed in burial , or some sin had been committed by the living either before or after the person ' s death , the akh was given dispensation by the gods to return to earth to redress the wrong . the living who were harassed by the ghost would have to plead their case directly to the returned spirit in hopes of a reasonable response and , if that was ineffective , would need to have a priest intervene and judge between the living and the dead . an example of this would be how , when misfortune fell upon a widower , it was first attributed to some\nsin\nhe had hidden from his wife that she , now all - knowing in the field of reeds , was punishing him for . in a letter from a widower to his dead wife found in a tomb from the new kingdom , the man pleads with the spirit of his wife to leave him alone as he is innocent of any wrong - doing :\nreverend augustus l . carpenter served as pastor from 1950 to 1958 . god sent a mighty man of valor by the name of reverend augustus l . carpenter , a seasoned man of age and wisdom with an outstanding reputation as a godly leader . reverend carpenter served as the past president of the district sunday school and baptist training union congress of louisiana for twelve years and was considered an outstanding leader . reverend carpenter was born in louisiana , march 27 , 1878 . after serving as pulpit supply for ninety days , pastor carpenter was elected pastor of allen in the spring of 1950 . on september 29 , 1950 , the first deacons of allen temple were ordained by the reverend carpenter . working with the members and with the help of his wife , dorothy , allen temple began to heal and grow and was gaining a reputation as a prominent church in oakland . rev . carpenter soon found his role as pastor expanding beyond the stain glass windows . black leaders were calling upon churches to support the efforts of naacp that had been strengthened as a result of w . e . b . dubois who had sparked a movement to establish headquarters in the bay area to fight discrimination that abounded in the bay area . rev . carpenter responded to the needs of the community and the naacp to help fight racism and housing discrimination , at the same time improving the administrative infrastructure of the church such as the first church bulletins were published by mrs . marie f . johnson and mr . lee conroe .\nin 1997 , the leadership institute at allen temple was a vision of dr . smith sr . after brainstorming his vision to start a christian educational institute that would focus on educating women and men for responsible christian leadership in the church and society . dr . smith sr . , served as chancellor and dr . l . p . lewis was appointed dean . after rev dr . l . p . lewis ' s brief tenure as dean , dr . jesse perry , ph . d . , served as dean for eight years . rev . dr . barbara bowman served as dean for a brief period followed by the reverend dr . brenda guess who was appointed chancellor and dean . the institute now extends its training globally to south africa through on - line training .\nupon one ' s death , a spiritual entity known as a gidim was created , which maintained the personal identity of the deceased and traveled on to the land of the dead . it was this gidim that would return to haunt the living if proper attention had not been paid to funeral rites and burial or if there had been some unlawful act involved in the person ' s death . inscriptions do make clear , however , that sometimes the gidim could mischievously slip out of irkalla for visits to the earth , where they would harass the living for no good reason . these spirits would be punished by the sun god shamash by having their funerary offerings taken from them and awarded to gidim who had no one to remember them on earth , and so no one to provide them with offerings for their continued existence . although there are records of loved ones returning from the afterlife with warnings or advice , most of the ghosts of mesopotamia were unwelcome guests who were sent back to their realm through the use of charms , amulets , prayers , or exorcism .\nby now , racial restrictions and housing discrimination gave way to blacks moving into east oakland ; as a result , membership grew , leading to the need to further expand the church facilities by purchasing additional property lots that were for sale as a result of the\nwhite flight\nto suburbia . in march 1953 , a special ground breaking service was held . the reverend carpenter was a great preacher , leader and a tenuous dedicated pastor . his resignation letter dated , january 8 , 1958 , read in part :\nthere comes a time in all our lives when a parting of the ways must take place . sometimes by death , moving away or otherwise . . . one called of god to preach the gospel cannot do as he chooses at all times , nor what man thinks he should do , but must be led by the spirit . . . .\n. reverend carpenter was called from labor to reward , january 9 , 1961 , at 9 : 30 p . m . in oakland . marsha carpenter peterson , granddaughter , of reverend carpenter is a long time member of allen temple and is active in various ministries .\nin mesopotamian culture , death was the final act of life from which there was no return . the land of the dead was known by many names ; among them was the irkalla , the realm beneath the earth known as the\nland of no return\n, where the souls of the dead dwelt in a dreary darkness , fed off dirt , and sipped from mud puddles ( though there were other visions of the afterlife , such as that expressed in the work gilgamesh , enkidu and the netherworld ) . this existence was the final end for all the living , no matter how great or poor a life they had lived , and it was ruled over by the dark queen ereshkigal . no soul was permitted to leave irkalla for any reason , not even a goddess , as exemplified in the poem the descent of inanna , in which even the queen of heaven ( and ereshkigal ' s sister ) , inanna , must find a substitute to take her place once she ascends back to the world of the living . special dispensation , however , was given to souls who needed to complete some kind of mission . ghosts could appear to people on earth if it was thought that they needed to right some kind of wrong .\nthe dead were thought to walk freely through the world during this time and people would prepare meals which their departed friends and relatives enjoyed while alive . samhain was an important celebration when the harvest was brought in , cattle were slaughtered and salted for the winter , and the bones were burned , a practice which gave rise to the bone fires , which today are known as bonfires . the darker side of samhain , however , was that the dead who were restless ( like the hungry ghosts of china ) were also free to roam , and so people initiated the practice of wearing masks so they would not be recognized by a spirit who may wish one harm . this custom eventually evolved into the modern - day celebration of halloween . the roman empire had conquered much of the region of the celts by the 1st century ce and , when christianity became the official religion of the empire in the 4th century ce , the church incorporated many pagan holidays into their calendar . since samhain was such a popular festival , it was brought into the church as allhallows or hallowmas , which became all soul ' s day and then all saint ' s day when believers prayed for the souls of the dead in purgatory . as with samhain in europe , so it was with the day of the dead in mexico ; the pagan festivals became days of christian observances .\nin the midst of the wu -

stealing cameo in the original \u201ciron man\u201d ( criminally excluded from the final cut but viewable on the internet ) , wu - tang\u2019s most charismatic and quotable clansman hasn\u2019t followed the path of many considerably less talented rappers in making the transition to movies .\nbut on record , it\u2019s a different story . ghostface has cultivated an assortment of alter - egos , or roles , over the years , from flashy playboy pretty toney ( \u201cthe pretty toney album\u201d ) to ruthless crime boss tony starks ( \u201cfishscale\u201d and \u201cironman\u201d ) to ghostdini , a self - anointed \u201cwizard of poetry\u201d who raps sweet nothings to his pregnant wife and unborn child on his eponymous r & b - flavored album from 2009 . each is essentially a different shade of one established personality , like switching the actor who plays james bond . when working with ghostface , you aren\u2019t just getting a couple verses \u2014 you are casting a character .\n\u201cthe job is to get the complexities out of the way earlier and create a foundation to inspire , \u201d says younge , who will be performing with ghostface and his band venice dawn as part of the \u201ctwelve reasons to die\u201d tour this thursday at the wilbur . \u201cin putting the story together , i tried to think of what a character like tony starks would be like back then , and then provide ghost with the foundation for him to build upon . \u201d\nthe globe ' s top picks for what to see and do each weekend , in boston and beyond .\nyounge recorded the tracks with his band in the same manner that he would score a soundtrack , with each instrumental specifically tailored to advance the story along when paired with ghostface\u2019s lyrics , which were recorded separately due to scheduling conflicts . and yes , rza\u2019s spirit can be felt in the gritty soundscape of stalking bass lines , tightly snapping snares , and distorted guitars , made entirely on vintage equipment ( \u201ci don\u2019t know how to record any other way , \u201d says younge with a hint of pride ) .\nbut just as a great title song does not make a great bond movie , the strong soundtrack of \u201ctwelve reasons to die\u201d would be wasted without a stellar performance from its leading man in a well - worn role he\u2019s played for years . as the gangster tony starks , he exposes his fatal flaw by falling into the clutches of a treacherous femme fatale ( another recurring stock character from the ghostface catalog ) , praising her in adoring tones as someone who \u201cwould hide my guns in the house and lie to the task force . \u201d by the time he\u2019s been resurrected on \u201crevenge is sweet , \u201d his flow becomes more rushed and emphatic with the gleeful violence he now wreaks on his enemies , claiming \u201cmy tennessee goons will nail [ you ] to a cross . \u201d\n\u201ci just looked at it as a piece of work , \u201d says ghostface . \u201cit depends on what it calls for . this was adrian\u2019s idea , not mine . he wanted certain things done to every track . if it\u2019s somebody else\u2019s project , and it says play this character and i\u2019m comfortable , then i\u2019ll do it . i heard the tracks , they were right up my alley . i just wanted to tackle that [ stuff ] . \u201d\n\u201cthere\u2019s a way to do it where he\u2019s a character in 1993 , or in 1982 , or in 1967 , \u201d says younge of his take on the ghostface character . \u201cyou have to act like you\u2019re in a movie : what does the world look like ? what kind of girls is he talking to ? what kind of cars is he driving ? you think of how the character would react in different settings , and then that determines how music would reflect that perspective . \u201d\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 transitional / / en\nurltoken\nwe\u2019ve updated our privacy policy to give you more control over your information and support new european data protection laws . you can review the changes here .\nincludes unlimited streaming via the free bandcamp app , plus high -

ankle injury that left him on the bench for most of the second half during game 3 of the nba finals .\nthe speedy point guard said he has no intention of missing game 4 against the los angeles lakers on thursday night , but he left open the possibility that he wouldn ' t be effective enough to help his team .\nnobody in this league is 100 percent , but i ' m sure i ' ll play ,\nhe said during the media availability period before practice at staples center .\nthere ' s no way i ' m going to miss the game , probably . i don ' t want to hurt the team and go out there and not give it my all , but i think i ' m sure i ' ll be playing tomorrow night .\nwearing a hard plastic brace on his left ankle - - and , when talking to reporters , no shoes - - rondo described the injury as a bone bruise . he felt less pain after treatment with ice and a night of rest , and he expects to feel even better with another 24 hours to heal .\ni can walk on it ,\nrondo said , adding that he wouldn ' t be able to wear that brace during the game .\ni made a walk around the hotel and i was limping a little bit , but the farther i walked the better it got .\non wednesday , rondo was on the floor for the stretching drills , but he took part in about half of them and appeared to be going at about half - speed . the rest of practice was closed to the media , and the celtics were not planning a shootaround on thursday morning .\nhe ' s very important to this team . he ' s a big reason why we win ,\nforward kevin garnett said .\nhe ' s the anchor of our defense . he ' s totally matured over the course of the year .\nrondo rolled his ankle early in the third quarter on tuesday night , when the lakers won 87 - 81 to trim their deficit in the best - of - seven series to 2 - 1 . he returned in the fourth quarter for 3\u00bd minutes and made a basket to give him eight points in the game .\nit felt pretty good , but i was just running off adrenaline ,\nhe said .\nafter the game it swelled up a little bit , it got a little tight . but other than that , like i said , it ' s just time . it ' s going to be all right .\nin game 3 , the celtics made up for rondo ' s absence with backups eddie house and sam cassell . coach doc rivers said he would also consider using tony allen at point guard because of his success covering kobe bryant during the regular season .\nit ' s the finals . i don ' t want to hold anything back ,\nrondo said .\nif i ' m going out there at 50 percent , i don ' t want to hurt the team . eddie and sam do a great job of running the team , so i ' ll let them have it .\ncassell is a fearless shooter who has won championships before . house had the long - range shooting touch that would keep the lakers from double - teaming garnett in the lane . allen is a tough defender .\neverybody brings something different to the table ,\ngarnett said .\nwe shouldn ' t miss a beat .\nand he ' s the one pure point guard on our team that has the ability to make plays , and that ' s what we would lose ,\nrivers said .\ni ' m concerned because if rondo can play but he doesn ' t have speed , then that ' s a concern .\nif he can ' t play , rivers said , he ' ll find some other combination .\ni don ' t worry about guys [ being ] out ; i just don ' t . that ' s why we play them all ,\nhe said .\nif a guy is out , somebody else has to step up and play . that ' s what we ' ve done all year .\nhaving said that , rondo ' s value is extremely important to the team . we understand that . he gives us speed ; he gives us great point guard play . he has the ability to pressure the ball . but if he can play , it ' s going to be great . but if he can ' t , we ' re not going to use that as a crutch , i can tell you that .\ncertified site metrics are metrics that

stage biotechs is an understatement .\nbiotech ' s climb is one part of the overall robust public markets this year . the s & p 500 opened the year at 1 , 426 . 19 , and by the end of the third quarter had grown to 1 , 681 . 55\u2014 a 17 . 9 % jump . but it is the biotech space that has astonished : the nasdaq biotech index began the year at 1 , 460 . 20 ; at the end of the third quarter it closed at 2 , 188 . 92 , a 50 % leap over nine months . it has so far held onto these gains .\nfrom among the 2013 life sciences ipos , we selected those that are innovative and r & d - driven . we found subtle differences among firms that priced below , within or above their expected range ( supplementary table 1 ) , but the group in general has outperformed .\nbiotech ' s current success is the result of many factors , but one element is serving as a backdrop : investor interest tends to be cyclical , and right now it appears to be biotech ' s turn . \u201cit ' s almost mathematics , \u201d says francesco de rubertis , partner at index ventures of geneva . \u201cmany people basically predicted this a year ago . board directors have been pushing companies to get ready for ipos . \u201d\nde rubertis points to the pattern of investment flowing from internet and information technology ( it ) to healthcare . in general , a peak for values in the it space is followed some 6 to 12 months later by a peak in healthcare . a key moment was the facebook ipo in 2012 , he says , when the company priced shares at $ 38\u2014the top of its suggested range\u2014and raised $ 18 . 4 billion , for a total valuation of $ 104 billion , the largest ever for an american company going public . a lot of wealth was created in the it space for investors , and that new money needed to be put to work . it is moving down the line to biotech stocks , he says .\nindeed , biotech ' windows ' have routinely opened and closed in the past ( fig . 1 ) , though how long the sash is up and what brings it down varies . before the current boom in biotech ipos , one train of thought was that windows would become a thing of the past ; as investors became more seasoned , public offerings would be evaluated on the basis of a biotech business ' fundamentals . that does not seem to be the case .\nthe cyclical nature of investing is observable in the biotech windows almost from the inception of the industry . * as of september 30 , 2013 .\nin the current period , adding fuel to the cyclical interest is a pent - up demand for good biotech stories . there have been just 65 innovative biotech ipos in total for 2008\u20132012 , compared to 101 ipos in a single year during the 2000 biotech window . even in tough times , an appetite remains among specialist investors .\nthis bottled demand is dovetailing with better performance from some of the mature biotech firms . consider regeneron , of tarrytown , new york . at the beginning of 2011 , the company ' s stock sat just below $ 33 . since then , its colorectal cancer drug , zaltrap ( ziv - aflibercept ) , has been approved ; ilaris ( canakinumab ) was cleared for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis ; and eylea ( aflibercept ) was approved for both wet age - related macular degeneration and macular edema from retinal vein occlusion . the company ' s stock closed above $ 312 at the end of the third quarter .\nanother example is alexion of cheshire , connecticut , which from 2011 through the third quarter of 2013 , had stock growth of 185 % , based on the potential of its blockbuster drug soliris ( eculizumab ) . investors look for this sort of ' hockey stick ' growth , but most public biotech firms such as these are already prohibitively expensive , which may be driving investors to the crop of young , innovative private companies in the hopes they follow a similar path .\nmuch of the current group of early - stage companies were formed in a funding crucible . since 2008 , the total amount of money invested in young , innovative firms has fallen , and a decreasing number of venture capitalists have cornerstoned biotech creation ( nat . biotechnol . 30 , 395\u2013400 ( 2013 ) ) . bad news , of course , for those seeking investments , but good news for the surviving venture capitalists , who for years have been able to cherry - pick the most potentially disruptive technologies they saw . these prize projects are the ones now making their way into the public market .\nthis hasn ' t gone unnoticed by public investors , and indeed , in this cycle the markets seem to prefer early , science - based companies ( box 1 ) . in some ways , says annette grimaldi , managing director at bmo capital markets in new york , young , cutting - edge companies make for more reassuring investments . \u201cthere is less of a binary risk for those anyway , \u201d she says . \u201cinvestors are not worried about stepping away from their desk for a moment and coming back to find shares down 50 % because of a failed trial . \u201d\nagios , founded in 2007 and focused on cellular metabolism in cancer and inborn errors of metabolism , went public in july , raising $ 121 . 9 million in gross proceeds , including a fully subscribed overallotment option for underwriters . the company had initially sought $ 86 million , then $ 92 million and raised the number of shares offered in the overallotment , as well . it priced shares well above its anticipated range .\nthis didn ' t happen by chance . from the moment david schenkein came aboard as ceo in 2009 , the company angled toward an ipo . \u201cfor the last two or three years , we met with 75 to 100 investors , some of them multiple times , \u201d schenkein says . \u201cand when we did , we said , ' we ' re meeting with you because we want to go public . and we want you to know the team and the science ' . \u201d\nstill preclinical at filing , agios was met with \u201ca real enthusiasm to invest in real r & d companies , \u201d schenkein says . \u201cand i get a sense there is a thirst for something novel ; that helped agios a lot . \u201d\nthe company priced the ipo with no insider participation\u2014by design , schenkein says , as it wanted to broaden its investor base . it already had three public investors on board through a private investment , and he admits those firms helped grease the skids for the ipo . when it came off , it rocketed . the company ' s stock opened on nasdaq at $ 29 and closed higher its first day .\nalthough a combination of factors played into the success , the biggest , schenkein says , was the effort . \u201cthe market helped , \u201d he says , \u201cbut the most important element was the time we spent with [ potential buyers ] over the last three or four years . \u201d\nthe biggest portion of the companies floating in this cycle is oncology companies\u201417 of the 37 biotech ipos through the third quarter\u2014though there are platform technologies and firms chasing orphan disease , as well . adam bristol , portfolio manager at aquilo capital in san francisco says that a \u201crather inelastic market demand and the ability to charge premium prices , especially in the us\u201d still exists for orphan disease and oncology drugs . although he notes that pushback on pricing may be coming , for now companies like regeneron and alexion have successfully transitioned into commercial - stage companies and are receiving high prices for their innovative drugs .\nbeyond payor issues , a couple of other factors are helping to drive interest in biotech ipos . one is a provision of the jobs act , enacted in april 2012 . the provision expands the permissible communication between parties around an ipo , allowing companies to speak with investors about the possibility of participation without disclosing the potential ipo to the public . this has allowed emerging growth companies of all types , biotechs included , to ' test the waters ' on joining the public markets , though discussing share price is disallowed . the extended runway has proved popular among biopharma firms , leading to some investors feeling swamped by meeting requests .\nthe second is the us food and drug administration ( fda ) . the 37 drug approvals in 2012 ranked it as the best year in a decade , especially for biologics . eleven of those were cancer drugs . although drug approval numbers for 2013 are so far not looking as rosy , 2012 helped create the perception that the fda is again a willing partner in clearing needed drugs .\nthe frantic pace of ipos , coupled with the high values being placed on newly public companies and the large amounts of capital being raised , has plenty of people comparing this open window to recent ones\u2014 the 2000 bubble and the generally receptive period of 2004\u20132007 . the current environment falls somewhere in between those two . in 2000 there were 101 biotech ipos on global exchanges , by our count ( 38 originated outside the us ) . the average amount raised was $ 85 million ( urltoken ) . in the 2004\u20132007 window , the best year was the last , when there were 51 biotech ipos , raising an average of $ 58 million .\nthe first nine months of 2013 saw 36 ipos on worldwide exchanges through three quarters , with the average amount raised at $ 73 . 8 million .\na handful more have gone public in october , and another 10 were on file at the beginning of november , according to data from bmo capital markets ( table 2 ) . it ' s not clear where total numbers for 2013 will end up , but noubar afeyan , managing partner and ceo of flagship ventures in cambridge , massachusetts , which has had five of their portfolio companies go public this year , doesn ' t see much of a comparison now with the zeal in 2000 . \u201ci don ' t see [ a bubble ] in the current crop of companies , \u201d he says , adding that the interest isn ' t due to \u201cretail guys who suddenly think they need to get in [ biotech ] . to me , a bubble is what someone calls a cycle if they miss it , or it doesn ' t go their way . \u201d\nthis is the main difference from 2000 , when the mom - ' n - pop retail investors\u2014 cued in by media coverage on the decoding of the human genome\u2014combined with generalist and specialist biotech investors to push the sector to those historical heights . by contrast , this window is being powered by the generalist investors , who , watching stocks rise overall , began relying on biotech to help beat the broader market performance .\nthe renewed interest from generalists is also seen in the drop in insider participation for successful ipos . in harder times , innovative biotech ipos were often propped up by already - present investors ( generally venture capitalists ) agreeing to buy into the public offering to get it completed . brent ahrens , general partner at canaan in menlo park , california , notes that things have reversed now . canaan portfolio company chimerix , for example , went public in april , raising $ 117 . 8 million , selling 8 , 418 , 000 shares including the overallotment . of all those shares , not one was bought by inside investors . \u201ci ' m sure there was some [ support ] there if needed , \u201d he says , \u201cbut the company didn ' t need it . \u201d\nin fact , many have needed it less . data from bmo capital markets , show that in 2010 , of the nine companies that launched an ipo with available data , the average insider participation was 39 . 4 % , and all nine reported some level of participation . of the 22 with reportable insider participation in 2013 , the average amount so far has been 20 . 8 % ; three reported no insider participation at all .\nbeyond the obvious benefits of raising money , a robust ipo market helps biotech in other ways . for example , it gives ceos of private companies that might be targets for mergers or acquisitions bargaining power\u2014they can honestly say there are other viable exits for its investors . sizable venture capital exits from these ipos could very well entice new money to contribute to fresh biotech venture capital funds . this could mean the long downward trend in venture capital funding for innovative early - stage biotech will reverse ."]}

in agriculture , such as developing sugarcane species and being the first company to use portable devices for measuring sugar content , which served as the cores for quality production increases . additionally , taiwan sugar manufacturing also started manufacturing plantation white sugar at roughly the same time as ensuiko sugar manufacturing , a pioneering company in that field . as a result , taiwan sugar manufacturing was able to maintain a sustained competitive advantage for a long period of time ( see graph ) . furthermore , as chairman of the federation of sugar manufacturers , taiwan sugar manufacturing also served as the main coordinator for the management of interests .\nfor dainihon sugar manufacturing , which started from the inland refined sugar manufacturing industry , the bribery scandal involving nihon seito was a turning point for rebirth and renewed performance based on sugar manufacturing in taiwan . the strategic transition to the modern sugar manufacturing industry was spurred by a merger with toyo sugar manufacturing in 1927 . dainihon significantly improved its position by shifting its strategic focus from refined sugar to plantation white sugar . through active m & a ; , the company was able to overcome the disadvantages in raw material harvesting districts and centrifugal sugar production capacity due to its late entry into the market . dainihon started from calculated and realistic decision - making based on lessons learned from past mistakes .\n\u201ctaiwan hakka industrial management in the japanese colonial period : a study of sugar manuafacturing\u201d , hakka affairs council grant , 2010 .\n\u201cthe double structure of japanese sugar manufacturing in late meiji period , \u201d national taiwan library bulletin 2 . 1 ( september 1995 ) .\nnow tsc is a multi - services corporation and operates across different industries such as quality agriculture ( e . g . the moth orchid ) , animal husbandry , bio - technology , logistics , land development , and tourism . in its efforts to promote tourism , tsc taps into its hundred years\u2019 legacy in the sugar industry . for instance , the first modern sugar factory in taiwan\u2014qiaotou sugar factory ( a . k . a . the kaohsiung branch of tsc ) \u2014has been turned into the taiwan sugar museum . the venue exhibits sugar production facilities , agricultural implements and machinery , and railroad scenes . the process of sugar production is also in display . visitors will find in this museum a mix of japanese and baroque architecture , wonders of ecological diversity , and the glories of taiwan\u2019s sugar industry . why not come to this historical monument , travel to the past , and embrace these old - time memories ?\n\u201crenewal and transformation of taiwan - japan economic exchange : mitsui bussan in taiwan\u201d , institute of taiwan history , academia sinica , 2011 - 2013 .\n\u201chakka ethnic group and the history of taiwan \u2018s camphor industry , \u201d in the history of taiwan\u2019s hakka ethnic group . taiwan historica , 2000 .\n\u201cpower up taiwan\u201d and \u201cthe evolution of taiwan electric power corporation\u201d have sufficiently laid a basis for the studies of electricity evolution in taiwan . although both books have their limits from the sts perspective , they are just enough to throw some new light on sts research and let more related research topics be derived .\n\u201ca study of the league of the sugar industry in taiwan between the end of 1910s and 1920s\u201d , national science council grant , 1999 .\n\u201cthe history of sugar manufacturing in modern japan , 1868 - 1911\u201d , dissertation , 1993 .\nduring world war ii , however , ethanol - producing venues were attacked by u . s . troops as military facilities . many sugar factories were bombed , resulting in serious damage and severe casualties ;

( in japanese )\nin the prime of the sugar industry , sugarcane railroads totaling 3 , 000 kilometers transported supplies to sugar factories all over the island , and taiwan was called the \u201ckingdom of the sugar rail . \u201d the by - products of the sugar production process ( extraction , boiling , and crystallization ) such as wet bagasse and molasses were turned into fuel , paper , organic fertilizer , or ethanol . in fact , ethanol from these facilities served as a very important military supply .\nlukang gentry koo hsien - jung merged four old sugar companies , one after another , from the xihu dingliao sugar factory , puyan sansheng dafeng branch , pitou lian jiao cuo as well as the company named erlin dapaisha sugar refinery , which he operated with taiwanese chen zi - cheng . in october of the same year ( the 8th year of the taisho period ) , tamato sugar co . , ltd . was founded .\nchanghua country afforested and beautified the landscape along the sugar train route and built it into a cycling route .\nwhen discussing the modern sugar manufacturing industry , it is important to consider the close relationship with the cultivation of sugarcane , a raw material for sugar . this is because the amount of centrifugal sugar produced is significantly affected by the amount of sugar cane harvested . indeed , expenses related to the raw material sugarcane accounted for 60 % of production cost . at the same time , there was an issue of competition between the production of sugarcane and rice ( the two major crops in taiwan ) in the region where raw material was harvested . this issue was a significant constraint which increased the cost of corporation management for sugar manufacturing companies . a factor to this was a system in which specified factories were required to make purchases for sugarcane cultivation only , but in which farmers were free to cultivate any crop they wished .\ncane sugar once played a vital role in taiwan\u2019s economic miracle in the twentieth century , but its production began much earlier . in fact , the earliest use of the sugarcane mill dates back to the late ming dynasty , in roughly the seventeenth century . sugarcane is a non - native crop that had adapted well to southern taiwan\u2019s climate and soil . when taiwan was under dutch rule during the seventeenth century , sugarcane was used to make sugar , which was sold to japan . during the time that koxinga , a ming chinese military leader , governed taiwan , the trade of sugar brought much wealth to the island , which resulted in the following saying in fujian and guangdong , the two chinese provinces close to the island : \u201ctaiwan has so much money it floods your ankles . \u201d this reputation also showed taiwan\u2019s great appeal to potential immigrants . in 1861 , the treaty of tianjin , which had been signed by the qing empire and other countries , entered into effect . the treaty opened taiwan for trade , and thus camphor , sucrose , and tea leaves became taiwan\u2019s major export items . during the japanese occupation of taiwan , a dozen sugar companies were founded on the island , including dai - nippon , taiwan , meiji , ensuiko , shinko , and teikoku . at its peak , the number of sugar factories on the island reached forty - two , and taiwan\u2019s sugar production ranked only after india , cuba , and java in quantity . in fact , in an exposition organized to celebrate the forty years of japanese rule in 1935 , the sugar industry exhibit reminded visitors , \u201cthe sugar industry is the mother of taiwan\u2019s culture . \u201d\nxie lingyu ( 2002 ) . the old days of xinying sugar factory . tainan county : xinying district office .\n\u201cthe social history of modern japanese sugar\u201d , japan society for the promotion of science grant , 2012 -

war japan . specifically , the main mission of the federation as a cartel was to suppress competition through agreements such as the production adjustment agreements of 1933 / 1934 ( in order to avoid overproduction , reduction of measures intended to encourage farmers to grow sugarcane ) , to manage interests within the industry , which had repeatedly dealt with a conflict of interests regarding side business of inland refined sugar and the plantation white sugar ( centrifugal sugar as low cost as refined sugar ) that would lead the industry in the 1930s , and to supplement business resources with the aim of sharing various information ranging from types of sugarcane to manufacturing methods for plantation white sugar .\ntaiwan governor -

( in japanese )\ndiscussion of the strategy implemented by ensuiko sugar manufacturing must begin from its pioneering activities in plantation white sugar . however , in order for this strategy to succeed , ensuiko had to overcome two constraints : management mistakes caused by the overlap of several large - scale mergers and the bankruptcy of suzuki shoten , and the management of raw material harvesting districts which were scattered throughout taiwan . upon entering the 1930s , the demand for plantation white sugar rose greatly due to decreased prices and improved quality in conjunction with reduced consumption tax and quality production increases . as rival companies implemented strategies focusing on plantation white sugar , the advantage enjoyed by ensuiko by the mid - 1920s was not conspicuous .\n\u201cchapter 5 love for the handcar : the establishment and development of new - style sugar manufacturing , \u201d in the great century of agriculture in taiwan . taipei : council of agriculture , executive yuan , 2012 , 102 - 123 .\nas the result of repeated alliances between 27 sugar manufacturing companies , the number of companies had been reduced to 11 in the early 1920s . after reorganization of the industry during the financial depression in 1927 , only 9 sugar manufacturing companies would remain : taiwan , shinko , meiji , dainihon , ensuiko , niitaka , teikoku , showa , and taito . ultimately , due to further reorganization of the industry in conjunction with the intensification of the war regime in japan , the modern sugar manufacturing industry was reduced to 4 key players known as the\nbig four\n: taiwan , meiji , dainihon , and ensuiko .\nthe half - gauge sugar train obtained permission for operation and officially reopened its doors to allow visitors to experience a rural , nostalgic and intellectual journey .\n\u201cthe formation and accumulation of japanese capital in taiwan in the beginning of japanese rule , \u201d taiwan : a radical quarterly in social studies 32 ( december 1998 ) .\n\u201cthe process of formation of taiwan\u2019s salt monopoly policy in the beginning of japanese rule 1895 - 1911 , \u201d taiwan economic review 26 . 1 ( march 1998 ) .\nly yong phat , ruling party ( cpp ) senator and co - owner of koh kong plantation co . ltd and koh kong sugar co . ltd .\n\u201cthe formation and implementation of the policy of public land sale under taiwan governor - general office : \u2018land tax reform by the meiji governent and public land sale to sugar manufacturing co . , ltd\u201d , national science council grant , 2012 - 2013 .\ncompeting under the shadow of mainland china\u2019s economy , taiwan is looking to a new kind of immigration diplomacy to engage southeast asia , now taiwan\u2019s second largest export and investment destination .\non may 19 , 2006 , without any prior consultation , bulldozers started to clear farmers\u2019 land in villages in botum sakor and sre ambel district , koh kong province , and forcefully evicted the formal owners : small - farmers who have been living on the land since 1979 ( 1 ) . two months later , the land was awarded to the newly established sugar companies koh kong plantation co . ltd ( kkpc ) and koh kong sugar co . ltd ( kksi ) , both owned by thai ksl group , ve wong corporation of taiwan , and ly yong phat , cambodian ruling party senator and business tycoon . the companies received two adjunct economic land concessions ( elc ) , amounting to 9 , 400ha and 9 , 700ha respectively , to develop industrial sugar plantations and processing factories . the total size of 19 , 100ha exceeds the legal limit of 10 , 000ha per company . in january 2010 , kksi opened a processing factory in sre ambel and six months later export of sugar to uk giant tate & lyle started , who signed a five years contract to buy all sugar output . since 2010 , t & l ; imported 48 , 000 tons of sugar , with an estimated value of 24 million \u20ac . the investment was strongly motivated by the european agreement \u201ceverything but arms\u201d ( eba ) with least developed countries ( ldc ) such as cambodia , offering them access to the european market without tariffs and at a minimum guaranteed price ; which for sugar has been three times the world - market price ( 2 ) .\nthe prime example of this dynamism was dainihon sugar manufacturing , which triumphantly exceeded in overcoming the two constraints of management mistakes and late entry . even more , the company succeeded in turning these constraints into business opportunity . it was this dynamism which enabled dainihon to dramatically overcome taiwan sugar manufacturing to capture the top position . indeed , upon facing the most difficult constraints , dainihon implemented the most radical and innovative corporate activities . therefore , it can be said that corporate activities in response to the two constraints of management mistakes and late market entry were the driving force behind the growth of the modern sugar manufacturing industry . in marked contrast , although taiwan sugar manufacturing faced the difficulty associated with initial constraints , the company did not encounter any other major constraints during subsequent business activities and engaged in stable management ; however , its long - term competitive advantage eventually came to an end .\nas a book of popular history , \u201cpower up taiwan\u201d indeed brought out the fun side of general history writing . the author uses a lot of phrases like \u201cthe first\u201d and \u201cthe earliest . \u201d for instance , the first person who uses electric light is liu ming - chuan , and the first water power station in taiwan is gueishan power station , etc . such descriptions easily amaze the readers with the history of taiwan ' s electricity development . for a long time , we were used to viewing the initial period of postwar industrial history\u2014especially the development of government - owned enterprise such as taiwan power company or taiwan sugar corporation\u2014from the \u201creconstruction\u201d perspective . here , the reconstruction means the reconstructing process for the damage caused by the second - world - war after the japanese were sent back . but as a matter of fact , we knew nearly nothing about the origin of the industry ' s development . the book could exactly mend the discontinuity of this historical gap .\n\u201ca study of kangyo bank\u2019s branches in taiwan in 1923\u201d , national science council grant , 2001 .\n\u201cthe history of the department of economics at national taiwan university , \u201d 2002 .

moon lake project , and the open offer made by taiwan electric power corporation that caused the trend of stock investment all over taiwan in 1919 . the whole process makes the readers feel like he / she is reading real - time social news . from the author ' s description to the electricity development , we can almost say that the business model , or the operation of capitalism in taiwan , was already established early in the japanese colonial period .\nthe book also contains heroic phrases in describing some of the important people : from ohkura okoshi , the engineer who created the electric power system in taiwan , or hiroshi nagashige , the technician who combined marketing and engineering together , to motoichirou matsuki , the best manager of the taiwan power company . there is also an annotation at the end of the book , saying \u201cit was the profession , passion and perseverance of the engineers that keep the development of electricity in taiwan moving on . \u201d during the colonial period , the leaders of different fields in taiwan were no doubt japanese , and they were also the key figures of charge in electricity development . but no matter the form , the perspective of the unequal notion of colonialism or from sts , the grassroots technicians , or even the users , should be regarded as the contributor to electricity evolution . these grass - root figures could also be connected further to the process of electricity recovery in taiwan and the follow - up techniques during the primary stage after the second world war , or the so called \u201creconstruction period . \u201d from \u201cthe evolution of taiwan electric power corporation\u201d ( taipei : lin pin -

partnership , in that the way the business is run resembles how a partnership is managed despite the use of the corporate form , and further , trust and confidence among the members has been irretrievably damaged , the court may order the winding up of the company since the members can no longer work with one another .\nif you believe directors of a company may be breaching the corporations act ( e . g . the company is still trading even though it can\u2019t pay its debts or the directors are not honest or taking proper care when operating a company ) , contact us on 1300 300 630 ( for the cost of a local call from anywhere in australia ) or lodge a complaint online .\ndespite the best of efforts , an insolvent company may not be able to overcome its difficulties . in such circumstances , the company may be dissolved to enable its assets to be liquidated so that its creditors may be repaid part of what is owing to them . this process by which a company is dissolved is known as winding up or liquidation . a healthy company may also be wound up if its members no longer wish the business to continue . when a company is wound up , its assets or the proceeds thereto will be used to pay off creditors after which the balance , if any , is distributed pro rata amongst shareholders .\nyou can browse our professional registers for afs licensees and authorised representatives to determine whether the company or business has the appropriate authorisations .\nwe are a company founded by people who invented technologies , turned them into businesses and , through innovation , built entire industries .\nthus , if an individual already has existing legal obligations , but attempts to use the corporate vehicle to evade such obligations , the courts will ignore the company\u00b4s separate personality . for example , it has been held that a person who has agreed to sell a house cannot avoid his contractual obligations by transferring the house to a company . both he and the company were ordered to specifically perform the contract even though the company was not a party to the contract -

see re exchange banking co ( 1882 ) 21 ch d 519 .\nin the exercise of their duties , directors ( and the company\u2019s senior managers ) must act bona fide in what they consider is in the best interests of the company . when the acts of directors are challenged , the courts do not substitute their own judgment for that of the directors - see\nwhile an incorporated company has a personality separate from that of its members , there are circumstances when the courts will ignore such separate personality and treat the company and its members ( or officers ) as one for limited purposes . thus , for example , there may be circumstances when the courts will hold the members of a company liable for debts incurred by the company . when the courts do so , it is said that the veil of incorporation is\nlifted\nor\npierced\n. generally , the cases of veil lifting fall into two categories : by statute and at common law .\nif you are concerned about a company\u2019s products or services , you may need to contact the fair trading / consumer affairs office in your state or territory .\nunder section 254 ( 1 ) ( i ) of the act , the court may wind up a company where it is just and equitable to do so . this is also an important remedy for shareholders as it provides a means for disgruntled shareholders to use the winding up process to disengage from a company .\nas mentioned earlier , the liability of a member / shareholder is to contribute to the company only that amount unpaid on the shares taken up by the member / shareholder . this is what is meant by limited liability . a shareholder is entitled to participate in the life of the company on the terms set out in the company\u00b4s constitution and to the extent allowed by the act . these will often determine the exact rights of the shareholder . some of the usual rights of shareholders include being entitled to a pro - rata share of any dividends that are declared and paid ; having a pro - rata share of any assets remaining upon a winding up after the creditors of the company have been paid ; and having the power to appoint and remove the directors of the company .\na transaction entered into by a company with a third party at an undervalue may also be set aside by the court . such a transaction arises where :\n( ii ) the company enters into a transaction with that person for a consideration the value of which , in money or money\u00b4s worth , is significantly less than the value , in money or money\u00b4s worth , of the consideration provided by the company \u2013 see section 98 ( 3 ) of the bankruptcy act .\nit should be noted though that , while the directors\u00b4 overriding duty is to the company , section 159 of the act provides that in exercising their powers , directors are entitled to have regard to the interests of the company\u00b4s employees generally , as well as the interests of its members . that directors may have regard to the interests of its members is also the position at common law since the members collectively do in a sense comprise the company notwithstanding the company\u00b4s separate personality - see peters american delicacy co ltd v heath ( 1939 ) 61 clr 457 ; greenhalgh v arderne cinemas ltd [ 1951 ] ch 286 . the entitlement to have regard to the interests of employees is also a sensible one since advancing the interests of employees will often be in the best interests of the company .\nthere may be occasions where it is desirable to rearrange the rights of the company , its creditors , and shareholders , particularly where the company is in a financially perilous position . on such occasions , it may be difficult to obtain the unanimous consent of all creditors and shareholders . accordingly , section 210 of the act provides for schemes of arrangement to be binding on the company , its creditors , and shareholders ( as the case may be ) where the requisite majority is obtained , subject to approval by the court . schemes of arrangement are most often used where it is desirable to compromise creditors\u00b4 claims against an insolvent company .\nif it\u2019s a large proprietary company , a public company , a disclosing entity , or a registered scheme , it should have lodged financial statements within four months after the end of its financial year ( three months for a disclosing entity or registered scheme ) . you can obtain copies of financial statements lodged with asic .\ngrant thornton noted the company recorded an operating cash outflow of $ 35 . 1 million for the year and a working capital deficiency of nearly $ 343 million .\na company cannot reduce its capital or otherwise return assets to its members , except to the extent the act permits this \u2013 see section 78a of the act .\nthe company is being used for an unlawful purpose or for purposes prejudicial to public peace , welfare or good order in singapore or against national security or interest .\nto obtain and maintain an asx listing , companies need to meet the prescribed requirements set out in the stock exchange listing rules . this includes company disclosure and reporting requirements .\nsoftbank , a japanese telecommunications company , is reportedly in talks to invest in uber , but axios reports that it has threatened to invest in lyft unless uber meets its terms .\nbecause each company and business has its own unique registration , searching by an acn , abn or former state or territory business name registration number can assist in narrowing a search .\nthe 2015 accounts for the australian subsidiary , peabody australia holdco , show the company made a $ 2 . 7 billion net loss for the year to the end of december .\na2 milk , on the other hand , has embraced the role of the\nin - between\nshopper , and the company ' s value has soared beyond $ 2 billion .\nthat no other proceedings and no execution or other legal process shall be commenced against the company or its property , except with the consent of the judicial manager or with leave of the court and no steps shall be taken to enforce security over the company\u00b4s property or to repossess any goods except with the consent of the judicial manager or with leave of the court .\nsection 216a ( 2 ) of the act provides that a complainant may apply to the court for leave to bring an action or arbitration in the name and on behalf of the company or intervene in an action or arbitration to which the company is a party for the purpose of prosecuting , defending or discontinuing the action or arbitration on behalf of the company . the court will only grant leave if the court is satisfied under section 216a ( 3 ) of the act that the complainant has given 14 days\u00b4 notice to the directors of the company of the complainant\u00b4s intention to apply for leave ; the complainant is acting in good faith ; and it appears to be prima facie in the interests of the company that the action or arbitration be brought , prosecuted , defended or discontinued . one advantage of the statutory derivative action is that if the court authorizes the bringing of the action or arbitration , it can order the company to pay reasonable legal fees and disbursements incurred by the complainant in connection with the action . under the common law derivative action , the risk of legal costs falls on the person bringing the action .\nsince 1 january 1991 , every company in australia has been issued with a nine - digit acn . the acn is a unique identifier and no two companies can have the same acn .\na registered business name is a trading name under which a person or entity carries on business or trades . examples might be roxy cafe , tj smith & co or hollingdale & page . the word \u2018company\u2019 or \u2018co\u2019 in a name does not necessarily mean that the business is registered as a company under the corporations act 2001 ( corporations act ) . see more about business names .\nthe court must be vigilant to ensure that the judicial management procedure is not directly or indirectly used by the directors and shareholders of the company to the detriment of creditors . the motives of the application should therefore be clearly honourable . the court must also show great heed to the wishes and views of creditors since the assets of an insolvent company in effect belong to creditors - see\nin addition to the ability to bring a common law or statutory derivative action to protect the legitimate interests of the company , there are two other important remedies open to shareholders who feel that their interests are being prejudiced . the first arises under section 216 of the act . section 216 ( 1 ) provides that any member or holder of a debenture of the company , or the minister of finance in certain cases , may apply to the court for an order that the affairs of the company are being conducted in a manner oppressive to one or more of the members or holders of debentures , or in disregard of their interests as members , shareholders or holders of debentures of the company . a similar application may be made if an act of the company has been done or is threatened which unfairly discriminates against or is otherwise prejudicial to one or more of the members or holders of debentures . section 216 is commonly referred to as the ` oppression remedy\u00b4 .\nsection 216b ( 1 ) states that an application under section 216a shall not be stayed or dismissed by reason only that it is shown that an alleged breach of a right or duty owed to the company has been or may be approved by the members of the company however , evidence of approval by the members may be taken into account by the court in making an order under section 216a .\nsubsidiary is a company , and , therefore , it is subject to much stricter rules and regulations . one of them is a requirement to get the firm\u2019s audited accounts and tax returns filed yearly .\nin the case of winding up by the court , at any time after making of the winding up application and before a winding up order has been made , the company or any creditor or contributory may apply to the court to stay any proceedings pending against the company - see section 258 of the act . when a winding up order has been made or a provisional liquidator has been appointed , no action may be started against the company or proceeded with except with the leave of the court - see section 262 ( 3 ) of the act . similarly , in the case of voluntary winding up , section 299 ( 2 ) of the act states that , after the commencement of winding up , no action shall be commenced or proceeded with against the company except by leave of the court .\na third important exception arises where dividends are paid even though there are no available profits out of which to pay such dividends - see section 403 ( 2 ) ( b ) of the act . since dividends may only be paid where there are profits so as not to unduly prejudice creditors of the company , a director or chief executive officer of a company who wilfully pays or permits the payment of a dividend in the absence of profits will be liable to the creditors of the company for the amount of the debts due to them to the extent by which the dividends exceed the available profits .\nthe benefit of judicial management is that it allows a company that is not hopelessly insolvent some breathing space to reorganize its affairs . if this can be done successfully , this will benefit all creditors and members of the company . the alternative may be a forced and premature liquidation that is not in the interests of most creditors and members . accordingly , when a judicial management order is made , section 227d ( 1 ) provides that any receiver or receiver and manager shall vacate office and any petition for the winding up of the company shall be dismissed . section 227d ( 4 ) goes on to state\nupon such an application by the company , its directors or creditors , section 227b ( 1 ) of the act provides that the court may make a judicial management order if the court is satisfied that the company is or will be unable to pay its debts . additionally , the court must be satisfied that the order if made would be likely to achieve one or more of the following purposes , namely :\naida cruises is one of the fastest growing and commercially most successful tourism businesses in germany . the company employs about 9 , 000 people from 40 countries on shore and on board aida ships . visit : urltoken\nforeign entities may wish to carry on business in australia as a foreign company . the australian securities and investments commission ( asic ) outlines the criteria which define foreign companies and the rights foreign companies hold in australia .\npersons incorporate companies for various reasons but , undoubtedly , one of the reasons is to insulate themselves from personal liability should the business fail . accordingly , the mere fact that members or officers of a company utilize the corporate vehicle to shield themselves from personal liability is no - reason to disregard the company\u00b4s separate personality - see adams v cape industries plc [ 1990 ] 1 ch 433 . however , the position is different where the members or officers of a company abuse the corporate form for improper means \u2013 see prest v petrodel resources ltd [ 2013 ] 2 ac 415 ; simgood pte ltd v mlc shipbuilding sdn bhd [ 2015 ] sghc 303 .\nprincess is the world ' s third largest cruise line based on guest capacity and the company ' s ships are renowned for their innovative design and wide array of choices in dining , entertainment and amenities . visit : urltoken\na members\u00b4 voluntary winding up may be converted into a creditors\u00b4 voluntary winding up if the liquidator appointed by the members forms the opinion that the company will not be able to pay its debts in full within the period stated in the declaration made under section 293 ( 1 ) of the act . the liquidator will then have to summon a meeting of creditors and lay before them a statement of the assets and liabilities of the company - see section 295 ( 1 ) of the act . the creditors may then , pursuant to section 295 ( 2 ) of the act , appoint some other person to be the liquidator for the purpose of the winding up of the company .\nyou can also use an asic information broker to do company and name searches of our registers . your accountant , solicitor , business consultant , credit reference agent or mercantile agent may also be able to do the searches for you .\nin a winding up , one of the principal roles of the liquidator is to get in the company\u00b4s property so that it can be realized and the proceeds distributed to creditors with any balance going to the members . in most cases , this is a straightforward process . however , there may be circumstances where the company\u00b4s property has been improperly transferred to third parties and the liquidator must attempt to recover such property . two common instances involve undue preferences and transactions that have taken place at an undervalue .\nsection 19 ( 5 ) of the act sets out the general effect of incorporation which is that the company is a body corporate with all such powers as flow from such an entity . the company may sue and be sued in its own name , it has perpetual succession in that it can survive indefinitely until it is wound up , it may hold land , and its members shall have such liability to contribute to its assets in the event of its winding up as is provided under the act .\nlegal entities that imply limited liability ( such as the subsidiary or the private limited company ) are preferable , and the government boosts small and medium business with tax incentives and various programmes that help them to save on taxes if they invest in innovations .\nif the company expects to have the annual turnover of over 1 , 000 , 000 sgd , it must get registered for paying the value - added tax which is , by the way , one of the lowest on the planet \u2013 7 % .\nunder common law , directors are regarded as fiduciaries and therefore owe fiduciary duties to their companies . at the same time , the act also prescribes certain duties on directors which mirror their general duties under the common law . one important provision is section 157 ( 1 ) of the act which prescribes that a director shall at all times act honestly and use reasonable diligence in the discharge of the duties of his office . section 157 ( 2 ) of the act goes on to state that an officer or agent of a company shall not make improper use of any information acquired by virtue of his position as an officer or agent of the company to gain , directly or indirectly , an advantage for himself or for any other person , or to cause detriment to the company .\nunder section 255 ( 1 ) of the act , where a resolution for voluntary winding up has been passed , but the company is subsequently wound up by the court , the winding up is still regarded as having commenced from the time of the passing of the resolution . section 255 ( 2 ) of the act provides that in all other cases where the company is wound up by the court , the winding up is deemed to have commenced at the time of the making of the application for the winding up .\nrfg is a global food and beverage company headquartered in queensland , australia . it is australia\u2019s largest multi - brand retail food franchise owner , a roaster and supplier of high quality coffee products and an emerging leader in the foodservice , dairy processing and wholesale bakery sectors .\nyour personal name search on the directors and company officers will show what other companies each person is involved in . this may help you form an opinion about their business background . if the directors have been involved in other failed companies , it is a strong warning sign .\nunder section 131 of the act , certain charges created by companies have to be registered with the public authority responsible for corporations . failure to do so will render the charge void against the liquidator or other secured creditors of the company . as a chargee will often wish to enforce a charge when the company is insolvent , this provides an incentive to chargees to ensure that any charge created in their favour is registered within the 30 day period after the creation of the charge as required by section 131 ( 1 ) of the act . where a charge has not been registered within the 30 day period , it may be possible to obtain an extension of time under section 137 of the act , e . g . if the omission to register was accidental or does not prejudice the position of creditors or members of the company .\npeabody australia holdco made a $ 1 . 2 billion loss in 2014 , and its latest accounts show its total debt has increased to $ 10 . 7 billion while its total assets are worth $ 4 . 1 billion , leaving the company owing far more than it is worth .\nsingapore welcomes foreign capital and doesn\u2019t set restrictions for the totally foreign ownership of the company . the repatriation of profit is also welcomed . after the subsidiary pays the corporate tax , which is 17 % in singapore , its foreign members can enjoy their dividends without paying the capital gain tax .\nthe australian business number ( abn ) is a number for business dealings with the australian taxation office ( e . g . an abn is needed to register for gst ) . when a company with an acn has also been issued with an abn , the abn may be the acn with two additional digits before it , resulting in an eleven - digit number . for example , a company that has both an acn and abn could have an acn of 123 456 789 and an abn of 77 123 456 789 ( i . e . the last nine digits will be the same ) .\nmany small businesses need a licence to carry out their business ( e . g . builders , plumbers , motor car traders ) . the fair trading / consumer affairs department in your state or territory can tell you which licences a business needs and whether that business or company holds a particular licence .\nif the person you are dealing with seems to be in charge of the company but isn\u2019t a listed director , this could be a warning sign . you should make further inquiries to find out if they are bankrupt ( see below ) , or have been disqualified as a director ( see below ) .\nthere is significant uncertainty whether the company and / or the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern , and therefore whether they will realise their assets and extinguish their liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report ,\nthe auditor ' s report cautioned .\na floating charge on the other hand is a security interest that does not , at its inception , specifically attach to any assets of the chargor company . the charge is said to ` float\u00b4 over the assets in question until some act occurs which causes the charge to attach to the assets . from that time , the charge effectively becomes a fixed charge . the acts which cause the floating charge to crystallize , i . e . to attach to the assets , may be contractually provided for in the debenture . thus , the parties may provide that in certain circumstances the floating charge will automatically crystallize without the parties having to do anything else , or that in certain circumstances the chargee may give notice of crystallization to the company thereby causing the charge to crystallize . floating charges may also crystallize in other ways , e . g . if the company goes into liquidation or if it ceases to be a going concern ."]}

\u201d adds peter . \u201cit\u2019s a clich\u00e9 but the reality is with faith and a positive approach you can do anything . the important things for any entrepreneur to remember are to have faith , remain positive , choose the right partners , treat people with respect , be honest and admit to mistakes and fix them fast . also , set realistic goals and don\u2019t give up until you reach them ; then set new ones . \u201d\nin 2008 , eddy opened a lodge in warrenton with 30 rooms which seemed a good proposition at the time . but then the recession came and he had little business . fortunately , he decided not to finance via a bank so he was able to keep the property . \u201ci always say that business is like the weather , it can be unpredictable , we cannot foresee everything , \u201d adds eddy . \u201cmy advice for anyone starting their own business would be to have a vision and a good strategy . also , it is essential to be flexible enough to amend your strategy when needed . focus on creating value for customers and suppliers and build something that can be sustained by domestic market demand . \u201d\nantonio marques thrives on challenges . but starting his own panel beating company some 40 years ago was one of the biggest challenges of his life . it was then that antonio , already employed in one of the leading panel beating companies , and willie steinke , a spray painter , expressed the desire to start up their own business . in order to succeed they needed a wellequipped workshop including the ultimate piece of equipment at the time \u2013 a backed enamel oven for spray painting . they had very little collateral to offer the bank , thus sacrifices had to be made by selling off any assets to raise the necessary capital . this was not enough so they enlisted the help of a silent partner and in january 1977 , steimar automotive opened its doors .\nin his own words , \u201cten percent capital and 90 percent guts\u201d is what it took for raymond ackerman to start pick n pay in 1967 . he was at the low ebb in his career , having just lost his job at checkers , and had returned to cape town from his johannesburg base . once back in the mother city , he started negotiations for four small shops \u2013 called pick n pay . \u201ci borrowed money from the bank and got shareholders to back me , \u201d recalls raymond . \u201ci moved from johannesburg to get away from the big chains , otherwise we might have gone down . things went well through a lot of hard work and lots of man hours . we were growing and went public early . we got many shareholders in and grew that way . we opened up in new markets and in 1975 we started with the hypermarket approach . \u201d\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd html 4 . 01 / /

make when you are heading in a clear direction , \u201d adds ronnie . \u201cthe biggest challenge , in my view , always is about people : how do you find good people ? in the beginning we persuaded all our friends at university to join us . and they then inspired their friends to also join , and so it grew . the key to any success is very simple : just keep your promises . say what you mean , and mean what you say . \u201d\nmichelle okafor was inspired to become an entrepreneur and founded michelle okafor designs when she visited nigeria for the first time in 2008 . she was so impressed with the prints that she brought back some fabrics to make her dresses . people liked them , so she saw a gap in the market . \u201cafter i sold my designs , people would send me pictures and say they received compliments , which motivated me , \u201d says michelle . \u201ci started to officially operate in 2013 ; it was a very good year . by 2015 things became slow . i closed the workshop and worked from home . i decided to go back and find work while i picked myself up . i mostly rely on word - of - mouth advertisement . i\u2019ve put in a lot of resources into the business , and haven\u2019t had outside financing . \u201d\nnot having a long track record to prove her worth was also a real obstacle to growing the business . one major challenge was to find staff to manufacture or design , and it was difficult finding skilled people who understood the needs of the business . \u201cthe size of the business helps us move with the market , \u201d says michelle . \u201cwe have been able to diversify quickly because we are small and agile . we have a handson approach which enables us to give that personal touch . my advice to someone starting out as an entrepreneur is to be realistic with their business and work hard\u2026 extra hard . \u201d\nit wasn\u2019t long before max\u2019s business savvy , coupled with his natural gift as a public speaker and motivator , led him to launch ignite my potential . today max consults widely with a diverse array of organisations and groups from all walks of life . his talks have reached thousands of influential movers and shakers in businesses , communities and universities on a local as well as a global scale . \u201cthe principle is that when one person follows a dream , tries something new , or takes a daring leap , everyone nearby feels their passionate energy . and before long , they are making their own daring leaps while simultaneously inspiring others . \u201d\nyossi hasson knew from a young age that he wanted to be a businessman . he got his first pc at the age of 12 and fell in love with the world of technology from there . \u201cin 2004 , david , a high school friend , and i wrote a business plan and took it to anyone who was willing to listen . we were able to raise capital of r1 million through david\u2019s brother and a friend of his , who invested in the business . we initially worked from a lounge and then moved to spare 20m 2 office space that was available at the offices of one of our investors . my partner focused on the more technical side of the business while i focused on sales and business development . \u201d\nhowever , they soon realised that the business wasn\u2019t scalable and they were struggling to grow with the people they had . \u201cso we started building products which took twice the cost and twice the time we had anticipated , \u201d adds yossi . \u201cwe had to reduce costs and staff numbers , take significant pay cuts and renegotiate contracts . from the beginning , our investors were helpful . we were 21 when we started and although our investors were not from an it background , they taught us business principles . today we have over 5 000 clients and look after one million mailboxes . to be a successful entrepreneur you have to have persistence , perseverance , as well as the ability and determination to stay the course . \u201d\nthen in november 1993 their factory in mabopane was torched . \u201cthis proved a great challenge for the survival of the business , \u201d adds herman . \u201cfor over a year i couldn\u2019t supply some of my products , and this set me back for about two to three years . at a time like this , consumers won\u2019t wait until you fix the crisis and of course competitors will take advantage of the situation . but we persevered and through hard work and dedication we came out on top . my advice to someone starting their own business is to be vigilant ; do not take things for granted and get into an industry you really understand . \u201d\nit was when nelson mandela became president in 1994 that opened up new opportunities for the group . \u201cwe opened franchising and today approximately half of p n p is franchised , enabling the people to own their own stores , \u201d adds raymond . \u201ci have always been very positive and hopeful about south africa . i\u2019ve always been on the side of the consumer . i\u2019ve fought issues with suppliers on price fixing and i fought the nationalist government to cut the price of petrol and prevent price fixing on agricultural products . my advice to someone starting their own business ? have something people need . work mad and passionately , and people will back you . and always find new ways of helping your consumers . \u201d\nafter working for a multinational leading hotel for many years , and as the first black general manager , eddy khosa felt he had reached a point where he could take a risk on what he\u2019d learnt , and make a success in the hospitality industry . \u201cto start up , i negotiated with the family to use the family house in parktown and convert the rest of the rooms into guest rooms , \u201d says eddy . \u201cthis meant my whole family had to live in one room . my first challenge was getting the necessary permits , grading and the finance . from the outset i took a decision not to earn a salary . there was no guarantee that the business would work , as i was competing against big brands with years of building a reputation . \u201d\njafta claude became an entrepreneur by chance while he was working at eskom as part of the first intake of black apprentices . he was the first black supervisor and headed the aircon division . in 1992 , the managing director decided to get rid of all the auxiliary services and asked if he wanted to buy the aircon business . jafta obliged because it was the only division making money , but he couldn\u2019t afford to pay the price . \u201chowever , we came to a payment arrangement and i took over the business and named it rotac air - conditioning , \u201d says jafta . \u201ci was computer illiterate but had been taught the basics . i paid rotac off in three months as the business was doing well . after that there was no looking back\u201d .\nbut both bianca and larry were determined to make a success of their new company , despite the many obstacles in their way . \u201cwe\u2019ve always looked for new , innovative ways to grow and expand our business , \u201d adds bianca . \u201cthere is no time to rest , because you always need to be one step ahead of the others . the bad times are when the construction industry quietens and the rand weakens . then we have to cut our cloth accordingly until the position improves . the greatest advice i would give entrepreneurs is \u2018never give up\u2019 . no matter how hard things get , relook , rethink and consider all options but never give up . \u201d\nbenjy is the first to acknowledge that to be successful in business , it can\u2019t be a one - man show . \u201chaving the best people around you , supportive and loyal people , is essential to the success of any business or venture . it\u2019s important to cultivate a culture where people feel proud to be part of the company , and to find the best people and partners , even if it\u2019s expensive . for anyone starting a business i would say \u2013 believe in what you are doing \u2013 don\u2019t stop , keep going , stick to your plan . above all , don\u2019t get caught up in mishaps ; learn and move on . \u201d\nlike most successful entrepreneurs , jonathan credits much of his success to hard work and a strong belief in doing something you really love . jonathan reiterates this by saying : \u201cwhatever you get into , do something you really enjoy . it is great to do something you are passionate about . do what you are good at , be resolute and never give in , and you\u2019ll be pleasantly surprised how easily success comes your way . \u201d\nstephen brick was involved in a number of businesses until in 2009 he bought into vered estates . it was here that his entrepreneurial spirit came to the fore . \u201ci never went to university but did business courses , \u201d says stephen . \u201ci\u2019m a typical hands - on person and i really liked the challenge that confronted us at vered . we bought the company in january 2009 and a month later the market crashed . the banks stopped giving bonds and clients wouldn\u2019t buy . but we weren\u2019t prepared to retrench people . we just put our heads down and continued marketing and advertising . we encouraged our staff to do better and still promoted them . \u201d\nhenry johnson , an accountant by trade , owned a small engineering company with a partner , and in 1996 he was introduced to the australian pirtek brand . \u201ci always wanted to attach myself to a specific product , and franchising gave me the perfect opportunity , \u201d says henry . \u201cpirtek makes high quality hydraulic hosing and fittings , so when it came to south africa in 1998 , i knew it was something to get involved in . in 2006 i approached pirtek to buy a franchise , and by 2007 i was up and running with my first operation on the west rand . the initial challenge , apart from funding , lay in finding technically qualified people who understood the product because our field requires specialist skills . \u201d\nit was a negative experience in buying his first home and an unwavering commitment to service excellence that inspired current chairman eskel jawitz to start his own estate agency in 1969 . originally known as eskel jawitz real estate , the company rebranded to jawitz properties in 2005 to reflect the changing nature and the leadership in the company . 46 years later , jawitz properties is a second - generation family business run by herschel jawitz . \u201cmy entrepreneurial flair came from watching from a young age what it takes to start and grow a business with energy , passion and a never - say - die attitude , \u201d says herschel . \u201ci was lucky enough to have that experience with my father . \u201d\nas a family business , one of the biggest challenges was building an organisation that had the feel and the founding values of a family business , and still achieve its goals . \u201cour business , like many private and family businesses , has meant sacrifices and challenges for the family , especially in difficult times , \u201d adds herschel . \u201ci think that my success as an entrepreneur is having a deep sense of commitment to what i want to achieve , a strong belief in the business idea and the ability in most instances to turn the idea into an actual business that makes money . i\u2019m proud of the fact that today the company has 50 offices countrywide and employs over 500 people . \u201d"]}

square - block neighborhood in downtown la loosely known as the jobber market . the term \u201cjobber , \u201d a holdover from the days when jewish and iranian vendors dominated the neighborhood , refers to the wholesalers and middlemen who historically trafficked in downmarket clothing there . but the neighborhood\u2019s name and reputation are outdated in a couple of ways : today pretty much everyone who works there is either korean or mexican , and many of the businesses born in the area now design , manufacture , and wholesale their own garments for prominent markets .\nlike most garment workers , he said he was paid by the piece , rather than receiving an hourly wage . he earned 4 cents for every label , 2 cents for stitching across the shoulders , 10 cents for a pocket . such a payment method was legal \u2013 but only if the earnings met the minimum wage , $ 7 . 25 nationally and $ 10 . 50 in los angeles . in some jobs over the years , pedro had earned more than the minimum , but now , he said , those jobs were almost impossible to find .\nemployers say they are in a bind . california ' s minimum wage is set to gradually rise to $ 15 per hour by 2022 , one of the most generous in the country . in th meantime , the state says it has toughened penalties for wage violations . in 2015 , pedro said he was working at han ' s fashion , another sewing factory , when federal investigators appeared . the investigation prompted han ' s to quickly close , and pedro \u2013 with the help of the garment worker center \u2013 pressed a claim for unpaid wages with the state .\ngone were the days when a garment shop just took orders from companies to create basic designs ( imagine a shirt from the gap circa 1995 ) that would continue to sell for several seasons . big retailers were doing a lot less of their own designing , while requiring more complicated details and features in trim and ornamentation . \u201cbefore , as long as there was a hole for the head and a sleeve , you could sell [ a shirt ] with any print , \u201d says so yun , the designer for a jobber market company called collective concepts . \u201cnow it\u2019s designed . \u201d\neven for an insider , it\u2019s hard to get a sense of the scale of what\u2019s going on in the jobber market . about 3 , 000 businesses are officially registered with the korean apparel manufacturers association of los angeles . but people in the neighborhood will tell you that more than 6 , 000 korean - owned clothing labels operate there . some of them are just small - time mom - and - pop establishments ; others are multimillion - dollar businesses . gossip and rumor pervade the neighborhood\u2014about who is doing well and who isn\u2019t ; about who secretly owns a massive warehouse and manufacturing operation , and who has little but a flashy showroom .\ni first became curious about the garment sector in los angeles after noticing that an increasingly large proportion of students at parsons , the new york design school where i teach , were second - generation children of korean immigrants from southern california . many of them were studying fashion marketing and design so they could return to los angeles to help scale up their parents\u2019 businesses . these students and their contemporaries were , i came to understand , the driving force behind u . s . fast fashion\u2014a phenomenon whose rise is less a story about corporate innovation than one about an immigrant subculture coming of age .\nover the past 15 years , the fashion industry has undergone a profound and baffling transformation . what used to be a stable three -

owned subsidiary of engie operating lng terminals ) at 100 % by grtgaz ( the french natural gas transmission operator , owned 75 % by engie and 25 % by sig ) .\nthis is why grtgaz has decided to set up industrial high - performance clubs , events designed to provide a group of consumers with a forum for exchanges on common issues . grtgaz regularly invites industrial firms connected to the transmission network , as well as future customers who would like to have discussions with other industrial companies and share their feedback on different topics .\nas a provider of climate solutions , grtgaz is thereby involved in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in a sustainable way , providing incomes and local jobs that cannot be relocated , and fuels a virtuous cycle in a circular economy . thanks to its technical expertise , grtgaz acts as a facilitator on the value chain of this green gas that comes from our lands .\nby encouraging the emergence of renewable gases produced in france , and their local use in industry and transports , grtgaz places its network at the service of the energy transition for the country .\ngrtgaz ' s ambition is to become the european natural gas transmission operator of choice by offering the safest and best transmission services , and to make france the leading gas trading hub in europe .\nfrom their projected energy scenarios for 2030 and 2050 , adme and grdf joined forces with grtgaz to assess the current situation internationally with regard to advances and prospects for power - to - gas .\neurope imports over 60 % of natural gas it consumes and that figure should exceed 80 % in 2030 . security of supply is a major issue . grtgaz helps relieve facilitating the flow and exchange of natural gas across europe .\ngrtgaz owns and operates the longest high - pressure natural gas transmission network in europe . it is involved in the management of networks in germany . in europe and worldwide , it provides assessment and consulting services in the field of gas transmission .\nfirst of all , atrt6 tariff takes into account the reprocessing of charges transfer due to repair maintenance , renovation and replacement ( the \u201c3r\u201d operations ) , between the distribution networks and grtgaz following the deliberation of the cre published in march , 10 th 2016 .\nas off 1st april 2018 , according to article l . 452 - 1 of the code of energy and cre\u2019s deliberation of 22nd february 2018 , grtgaz is in charge of the collection of storage compensation among shippers using its network , and its transfer to storage operators .\nthe grtgaz network is sized to accept part of the hydrogen and 100 % of the synthesized methane . in all cases , the gas produced is fully neutral as regards its carbon footprint , because it replaces an equivalent amount of gas extraction and increases our energy independence .\nthe cre published on december , 15 th 2016 its deliberation approving tariff of natural gas transmission systems of grtgaz and tigf , the \u201catrt6\u201d , entering into force from april , 1 st 2017 for 4 years and yearly updated . this new tariff frame allows grtgaz to face major goals during this time frame without overcharging its transmission costs : achieve the single marketplace in france in 2018 , promote natural gas and develop future energy solutions . this deliberation contains tar nc article 30 ( 1 ) ( b ) information ( regulation ( eu ) 2017 / 460 ) .\nthe limitation of the \u201cniveau de tarif r\u00e9gional \u00bb ( ntr ) . the nrt is now limited to 10 ( previously up to 29 ) , in order to preserve competitiveness of the most remote sites from grtgaz\u2019 network and to prevent from any termination of their connection to its network .\nengie plans to increase transport capacity to be able to respond to the growing natural gas market as well as to connect up new combined - cycle power plants and new lng terminals . the development projects undertaken by grtgaz will mean an investment of approximately \u20ac3 billion between 2010 and 2019 .\n* for the shareholders of grtgaz and elengy , this planned acquisition responds to both european gas infrastructure challenges and market player needs . the market is currently subject to infrastructure consolidation where very large players are integrating several gas chain businesses , in particular lng terminals and gas transmission networks , says engie\ngenerating value from gas - electricity coupling : the main topics for 2017 will concern the technical evaluation of power to gas and the optimisation of its business model , the development of multi - energy modelling tools , delivering expert advice to regional authorities and assessing the interest of grtgaz assets participating in rte systems services .\nthe natural gas transport on the principal network consists in , for grtgaz , removing the gas provided by a shipper in one or more entry gas points in france and in delivering it in one or more exit points . at each entry and exit points correspond a regular tariff . the main tariff terms are as follows :\nbeyond energy prices , what levers can be used to optimize the performance of these industrial sites ? by providing access to the wholesale market , optimizing processes , choosing equipment and implementing high - performance technical solutions , grtgaz supports industrial consumers in their efforts to use natural gas with optimal efficiency , in both environmental and economic terms .\nseveral technological solutions are mature and already in use on a number of sites . some large industrial groups already make use of these solutions : general electric , siemens , atlas copco and cryostar ( subsidiary of linde ) , among others . the finalisation of the contractual arrangement that would enable grtgaz to make use of this electricity is the only obstacle that remains .\nthe complementary aspects of the electricity and gas transport networks open new perspectives for the construction of a global energy system that is smarter and oriented to the integration of renewable energies . moving beyond existing cooperative projects on the security of supply , grtgaz and rte intend to draw benefit from the digital revolution to build a response to the regional issues of energy , transport and climate .\nto make matters worse , the nuclear fleet , france\u2019s main source of electricity for heating , is mired in uncertainty and will be subject to inspections that could halt reactors for indefinite periods . earlier this year , unexpected nuclear closures caused gas demand to skyrocket , creating shortages . while the government this summer requested grid operator grtgaz sa to intervene and buy fuel to replenish supply , the uncertainty is roiling trading .\na bottleneck is highly likely in the southeast when lng supply at the two fos terminals is low , grid operators grtgaz and transport et infrastructures gaz france sa said in a winter outlook in may . in the event of a 10 - day cold spell not anticipated by the market , french consumers will suffer shortages without quick deliveries of lng , potentially \u201cin volumes never seen before , \u201d the operators said .\nwhen solar - or wind - based electricity generation is insufficient , gas - fired power plants are the best option to take over and generate top - up electricity while ensuring the lowest emissions and the highest level of efficiency ( 55 % compared to 35 % for a coal - fired power plant ) . grtgaz contributes to the performance of gas - fired power plants by supplying them with gas in a reliable and a flexible manner , particularly at the time of peak demand .\non the basis of the 2030 - 2050 blueprint developed by the l\u2019ademe under which 50 % of the electricity generated should stem from green sources , grtgaz estimates that by 2050 , the power to gas solution will produce between 15 and 20 twh of renewable gases per year , which will be injected or stored in the network during periods with considerable excess production levels . once the energy has thus been transformed into gas , it will benefit from all the strengths of natural gas transmission : economical , flexible , discreet and safe .\nto meet the specific needs of each consumer , energy efficiency has become a factor in a company ' s competitiveness . in the future , supply management considerations will go hand in hand with the development of high - performance and energy - efficient consumption practices . technology , purchasing , operations , regulations , taxation . . . all of these areas are increasingly , and inextricably , at the heart of discussions held by industry on how to develop its production resources and methods . grtgaz regularly chairs industrial performance club meetings dedicated to a group of consumers so that they may discuss problems related to their sector ( glass , agri -

free electricity . an explanation .\nto transport large quantities of natural gas over great distances , it is compressed and kept under high pressure . the aim is to reduce its volume and , thereby , the diameter of the pipelines . subsequently , a certain amount of energy is released and lost at every point of the network where pressure has to be reduced ( known as expansion ) to adapt to downstream conditions .\nthe energy thereby released is also recoverable , clean ( as it is carbon - free ) and usable in substantial proportions . in fact , an accessible deposit study carried out in 2015 identified around 20 sites that could house a generator powered by the flow of gas instead of the conventional expansion system . this operation would produce almost 100 gwh of electricity per year , which represents 25 % of the energy consumed by the network ' s electric compressors .\nthe transport network , natural gas and renewable gases contribute efficiently to the energy transition by reconciling reductions in emissions with energy security and competitiveness .\nfind out more about our energy solutions with a future and in particular fuel - gas conversion , biomethane , bio - ngv and the innovative power to gas solution . each of these four technological innovations prepares what we currently call the third gas revolution .\nmany industrial sectors , including metallurgy and the paper and food industries , use boilers and furnaces .\nthese are large consumers of natural gas . for them , optimizing gas usage is essential .\nin addition to providing the benefits of a dynamic wholesale market , and competitive prices compared to other energies such as fuel oil , gas offers clear advantages in the current technological and regulatory environment .\nair quality regulations are becoming increasingly strict , in particular with the transposition of the ied ( industrial emissions directive ) , the implementation of the french particulate matter reduction plan [\nplan particules\n] , and the ceilings imposed on france by the nec ( national emissions ceilings ) directive . liquid fuels will be distinctly limited by these regulations , and dust requirements will be stricter than before ( fuels concerned include biomass , coal , and fuel oil ) . natural gas , on the other hand , does not emit soot or dust when burned . it generates 30 % less carbon dioxide ( co2 ) than fuel oil and 45 % less than coal , less nitrogen oxides ( nox ) and very little sulphur dioxide ( so2 ) , the cause of acid rain . it should be noted that natural gas has an emission limit value of 100 mg / nm3 of nox , for new and existing boilers , as well as in continuous emissions monitoring for certain configurations .\ngas also brings an economic advantage in the field of taxation , for industrial companies that owe tgap [ french tax on polluting activities ] : the current rates for sulphur oxides ( sox ) emissions and total airborne particles tripled in 2013 . the rate for nitrogen oxides ( nox ) rose from \u20ac160 . 80 / tonne to \u20ac164 . 18 / tonne , after having tripled in 2012 .\nin the field of energy efficiency , 2012 saw a vote for a new eed ( energy efficiency directive ) which should go into effect starting in 2014 . among the measures adopted , one that should be noted is the requirement for large businesses to conduct an energy audit every four years . this could mean a real opportunity for improving industrial processes and reducing energy costs .\n1 / monitoring of energy and water consumption . this monitoring is the first action that should be implemented . it enables precise determination of the distribution of energy between different user stations , as well as making available means to detect any excessive variations in consumption .\n2 / periodic inspection of boiler performance , via regular combustion analysis , efficiency calculations , and if necessary , adjustment of settings . mandatory for boilers over 400 kw , this inspection is essential . optimizing combustion or installing an o2 - co regulator can increase ncv efficiency by 0 . 5 % to 2 % .\n3 / optimization and implementation of performance - enhancing processes such as blowdown management , heat recovery during boiler purges , and installation of a condenser or economizer . installing an economizer can often mean a 4 % increase in yield .\n4 / optimizing the steam network , e . g . by insulating pipes , setting up preventative maintenance on traps , or using flash steam . for example , it is considered that 20 % of steam traps prove to be defective each year . and a leak in a trap can result in 5 to 20 kg / h of steam lost .\nwhile these are the\nclassic\nways of finding cost savings , each boiler is often a special case . as such , the choice of which solution ( s ) to implement depends on the specifics of the site , and on how the steam is produced and used .\nenergy efficiency is now a competitiveness factor . in the future , consideration of supply management will go hand in hand with the development of high - performance , energy - efficient uses . whether it be technology , purchasing , use , regulations , or taxation , all of these components are increasingly , and inextricably , at the core of industry thought on how to develop tools and production methods .\nbiomethane is a fuel gas that is produced by repurposing organic matter derived from various sectors , including agriculture , industry , catering waste , community waste , and gas derived from non - hazardous waste landfills ( nhwl ) .\nthe digestion of organic matter produces biogas which can be processed by combustion to provide heat and / or electricity . this biogas can be upgraded to the same quality as natural gas , and is then called \u201c biomethane \u201d . once it is purified and odorised , it can be injected into gas grids .\nthe production of biogas generates a residue called digestate . a natural organic fertilizer , it can be spread on agricultural lands as a substitute for fossil - based mineral fertilizers .\nbiomethane is clean and has excellent virtues ; it is great for our land and brings a new perspective to our energy . its production is part of the development strategy for renewable energies in france since 2011 .\nthe ademe 4 ( french environment & energy management agency ) anticipates that 500 to 1 , 400 sites could inject between 12 and 30 twh / year of biomethane into the grids around 2030 . . this projection is an objective set by the state in the law no . 2015 - 992 of 17 august 2015 relating to energy transition for green growth , which says that 10 % of gas consumed in 2030 should be from a renewable source .\nan analysis of the biomethane life cycle carried out by grdf ( french gas network distribution ) and the ademe 5 demonstrated that the development of the biomethane sector could prevent the emission of 750 , 000 tonnes of co 2 for the year 2020 alone , with 4 twh / year of biomethane used . cumulatively , the emission of over 2 million tonnes of co 2 equivalent would therefore be avoided thanks to the development of the biomethane sector at this time . in other words , for each megawatt - hour ( mwh ) of biomethane produced , injected and consumed , savings of 188 kilogrammes of co 2 equivalent would be made .\nthe green gas initiative member companies are convinced that gas and gas infrastructures play a key part in reaching the european objectives of carbon emissions at a reasonable price for society and consumers , and work together in order to identify specific courses of action until 2050 .\nproduction sites , new connections to gas networks , production and projects : all the information about biomethane in france .\npresentation of the first ever injection of biomethane into france ' s gas transmission network . see the video .\nthis platform provides energy production and consumption data on national and local levels . use of these multi - energy and multi - operator data will facilitate the development of local authority energy policies and contribute strongly to innovation . it will also contribute to the efficiency of stakeholders in the energy system to engage in more pertinent activities with regions .\nthe new energy network data platform will be enriched over time with data from other electricity and gas infrastructure operators .\ninternational : this agreement aims to identify areas of synergy to enable joint bids for tenders or to develop international business opportunities mixing electricity and natural gas .\nthe conversion of electricity into gas which is subsequently injected into the networks would enable excess electricity generated by renewable sources such as wind turbines or photovoltaic cells to be put to good use . this conversion principle , called power - to - gas , is currently being studied in a number of european countries .\nthe study considers that this technology should be fully operational in france by 2030 . with a penetration of electrical energy from renewables greater than 50 % by 2050 , power - to - gas would enable between 20 and 30 twh / year of renewable gas to be injected into the existing networks thus constituting a long - duration solution for storing the excess .\nby using the large storage capacities of the gas infrastructures ( in pipes and underground storage facilities ) , the conversion of electricity into gas is the subject of research in a number of european countries such as germany and denmark . power - to - gas involves converting renewable electricity into hydrogen by electrolysing water , hydrogen which can then be injected into the natural gas network as is or after a methanisation stage which consists of combining it with co2 to convert it into methane .\nthe development of intermittent electric renewables such as wind turbines and photovoltaic cells requires solutions to be found for optimising their insertion into the energy networks . if production is too low , scalable standby production capacities must be available ; conversely , production greater than demand requires the development of storage capacities and / or conversion of the excess .\nrecommendations to the authorities and various actors for the growth of this new distribution channel in france .\nat times , the electricity generated by wind farms on land or offshore , and by solar plants , cannot be fully consumed or exported .\nbecause there is no storage solution , the units are shut down , or the electricity is lost to avoid saturating the networks . the technological innovation featured in the power to gas demonstration plant provides a solution for storing and using the surplus electricity , by transforming it into gas .\nhow is that possible , you might ask ? quite simply by transforming the electricity into hydrogen through water electrolysis . the hydrogen can then be combined with carbon dioxide ( co 2 ) as and when necessary to obtain synthesized methane , via a methanation process .\nabove all , power to gas is an exceptional lever for the energy transition , encouraging development of renewable energy sources .\nby helping to supply ngv with a neutral carbon footprint , power to gas makes an efficient contribution to the energy transition . the green gas thus produced , which emits lower levels of co 2 and particulates than petrol or diesel fuel , also constitutes a viable alternative to fossil fuels for transport , with the effect of reducing air pollution levels .\npower to gas provides many advantages for local authorities : gas production stimulates the implementation of infrastructure and industrial equipment in the departments , thus leading to production of industrial facilities , which in turn create activities and jobs in the areas concerned .\nthe first power to gas project linked to the french gas transmission network , called jupiter 1000 , will be put up at fos - sur - mer ( bouches - du - rh\u00f4ne , 13 ) . the demonstration plant is scheduled to come into service in 2018 with a power rating of 1 mwe . it will be the first installation on that scale in france .\nthe launch of a power to gas demonstration plant does not involve ground - breaking technology that requires many long years of development . the feedback from experience and the studies stemming from analysis of existing plants will enable refinement of the model via the jupiter 1000 project , leading to considerable improvements in the levels of technical and economic performance , and to validation of all the environmental qualities .\nfirst experiment in france at a megawatt ( mw ) scale , i . e . a production level equivalent to the annual consumption of about 150 families ;\nat a time when greenhouse gas emission and energy efficiency regulations are being tightened and taxes are rising , gas represents an advantage that contributes to the competitiveness of industrial companies .\ngas not only lets users benefit from a dynamic wholesale market and a competitive price in comparison with other energy sources such as fuel oil , it also offers undeniable advantages in today ' s regulatory and technological environment .\n1 . following the emergence of more stringent air quality standards , due in particular to the transposition of the industrial emissions directive , the implementation of particle reduction plans and the caps imposed on france under the national emissions ceilings directive , gas has undoubtedly become the alternative solution . restrictions on liquid fuels will be tightened under these regulations and dust requirements will be more stringent than in the past ( biomass , coal and fuel oil are concerned ) . whereas , the burning of natural gas emits neither soot nor dust . this process emits 30 % less co 2 than fuel oil and 45 % less co 2 than coal , as well as less nox and very little so 2 , which causes acid rain . it is worth noting that both for new and existing boilers as well as in continuous emissions monitoring for certain configurations , natural gas has an emission limit value of 100 mg / nm 3 of nox .\n2 . with regards to tax and in the case of industrial companies that have to pay the french ' general tax on polluting activities ' ( tgap , taxe g\u00e9n\u00e9rale sur les activit\u00e9s polluantes ) , gas represents a financial advantage as the current rates for sox emissions and total airborne particles were trebled in 2013 . 3 . with regards to energy efficiency , 2015 saw the introduction of the energy efficiency directive . consequently , large companies must now undertake an energy audit every four years . this audit represents a real opportunity to improve a company ' s industrial processes and lower its energy costs .\n1 . monitoring of energy and water consumption . this is the first course of action to be taken in order to accurately identify the distribution of energy among the various user stations and to install the resources necessary to detect any variations in the level of use . 2 . periodic monitoring of boiler performance results by regularly analysing combustion , calculating efficiency and , if necessary , adjusting settings . this monitoring process is essential and , in fact , mandatory for boilers with a rated output of more than 400 kw . optimising combustion or installing an o 2 - co regulator can improve ncv efficiency by 0 . 5 % to 2 % . 3 . optimisation and installation of performance - enhancing processes and equipment such as micro - modulating burners , condensers or economizers , and the management of purges , including , if possible , heat recovery during purging . 4 . optimisation of the steam network by insulating pipes , carrying out preventive maintenance on purge valves or by using flash steam . for example , it is estimated that 20 % of purge valves prove to be defective each year . however , a leak in a purge valve can result in 5 to 20 kg / h of lost steam .\nwhile these savings are ' conventional ' solutions , each boiler room is very often unique . furthermore , the solution ( or solutions ) to be retained depends on the characteristics of the site and the manner in which steam is produced and used .\nafter implementing an exhaust heat recovery system , the gas solution offers an additional gain of . . .\nprice difference between the two types of fuel * , global saving ( excluding tax ) . . .\nfrom 35 % to 38 % , i . e . around \u20ac320 , 000 per year ( not including savings on taxes such as the ticp , tgap , etc . )\n* hypothetical energy prices ( approximate market prices , february 2016 ) : ultra -

year low , while an infrastructure bottleneck that propelled the country\u2019s gas prices to the highest in the world last winter hasn\u2019t been resolved .\n\u201cfrench gas storage levels remain dangerously low , \u201d said elchin mammadov , an analyst at bloomberg intelligence in london . \u201cwe are likely to see major gas price volatility , particularly in the southern hub area\u201d that lacks interconnecting links .\nto meet increased summer demand , traders are bringing in more liquefied natural gas . supplies from two import terminals near marseille reached the highest level for the july 1 - aug . 15 period since 2011 , according to cargo - tracker paneurasian enterprises inc .\nbut gas in a storage site that serves the south , which last winter became almost half - empty even before a cold snap squeezed supplies in january , is still below a five - year average . storage facilities across france were 68 percent full as of aug . 27 , gas infrastructure europe data show . stockpiles in southern france are 77 percent full , the lowest for the time of year since 2013 .\nstorage sites are typically refilled through october , leaving a few more weeks to top them up as the heatwave recedes and cooler days arrive .\n\u201cwe still have time , \u201d melissa stark , managing director for energy at accenture plc , said by phone . \u201cthere is a lot of lng on the market . \u201d\nlast january , lng arrivals at fos were three times lower than initially planned , sending gas prices above those paid by japan , the world\u2019s biggest buyer .\nto promote lng imports , fosmax lng sas , operator of the fos cavaou terminal , said in june it cut tariffs to unload cargoes from oct . 1 . and the market already anticipates an lng wave as the global glut swells .\n\u201cthe elephant in the room is the onset of lng into northwest europe as further projects come onstream , \u201d said nick campbell , an energy risk manager at inspired energy solutions . french gas suppliers may think \u201cthe better risk management option would be to utilize lng , not storage . \u201d\nfrench electricity for the fourth quarter of this year jumped to a record on aug . 17 after nuclear regulator asn said that electricite de france sa must review all nuclear components made by an areva sa foundry by the end of next year . benchmark next -

ended at the yard .\nline extends from st . clairsville , ohio , to barton , ohio , 3 . 6 miles .\nthe railroads would reach big cities such as toledo , indianapolis , st . louis , cincinnati and many other areas . also they would connect to other narrow - gauges that entered the coal fields and stone quarries of ohio and indiana . the toledo , delphos , & indianapolis narrow gauge ( three feet width ) was estimated to cost $ 8 , 000 per mile , built and equipped , versus a standard gauge , ( four feet , eight and one half inches width ) at least three times that amount .\nand other railroads with the various industries at and near toledo , ohio , by means of a belt line or continuous system of switch tracks .\nthe norfolk & western railway , looking for a way to extend its coal carrying to the midwest , became that ally . the merger of the nickel plate and the norfolk & western could be a benefit to both railroads and develop a strong midwest to tidewater rail system carrying a broad base of commodities .\nthe delphos , bluffton , and frankfort railroad was incorporated and connected with the delphos and kokomo at the indiana state line and ran to kokomo , being completed on october 1878 .\na 15 - mile segment of the line from waterville , south of toledo , to grand rapids was saved , and is still in use by a volunteer railroad , the toledo , lake erie , & western . otherwise , most of the row has been obliterated by agriculture . ironically , the public utilities commission of ohio ( puco ) still lists the portion from continental to the ohio / indiana state line as active , though no trackage remains on this segment .\njust a quick note - - the article has changed to only reflect the line between saint louis , mo and frankfort , in . sorry for any confusion !\nnumerous legends have grown about when and how the name\nnickel plate\nwas first applied . the accepted version is that it appeared first in an article in the norwalk , ohio , chronicle of march 10 , 1881 . on that date the chronicle reported the arrival of a party of engineers to make a survey for the\ngreat new york and st . louis double track , nickel plated railroad .\nthe crossover from\nwannick jct\nto walbridge junction was done in the early 30 ' s . the cities of maumee and toledo paid for most of this update . wabash and nkp paralleled each other . in order to build us - 24 into toledo the railroad needed to be moved . the cities bought the row and made what is now anthony wayne trail aka us - 24 . wabash double tracked its mainline and installed ctc to accomadate this surge in traffic .\nthe nickel plate road ( more formally known as the new york , chicago & st . louis railroad ) was organized on 3 feb . 1881 by geo . i . seney , columbus r . cummings , alexander m . white , john t . martin , edward lyman , and walston brown . originally the plan called for the construction of a main line from cleveland to chicago , with a branch from fort wayne , in , to st . louis , mo . by the time construction began in apr . 1881 , it had been decided to extend the eastern terminus from cleveland to buffalo . an article in the norwalk ( oh ) chronicle described the new road as a\ndouble track , nickel - plated railroad\ngiving the new road the nickname by which it became known .\nwas effected september 30 , 1890 , under authority of act of assembly of virginia and the general railroad laws of the state of west virginia and kentucky .\norganized in december , 1883 . originally called\ncollege hill railroad ,\nwhich was chartered in 1874 and opened in 1877 .\nincorporated march 23 , 1883 , under laws of ohio . the line extends from east toledo , ohio , where connection is made with\non may 23 , 1879 , the toledo , delphos , and indianapolis ; delphos and kokomo ; delphos , bluffton , and frankfort ; and the toledo and maumee were consolidated to form the toledo , delphos , and burlington railroad . on dec . 16 , a new baldwin engine left warren , ind . with four coaches at 7 a . m . and arrived in delphos at 1 : 30 p . m . , whereupon carey evans led 120 thirsty passengers to ben hoerstman ' s narrow gauge saloon . the end of the local management of the t . d . and b . came with tragic suddenness on sept . 2 , 1879 . on that day , joseph hunt was killed as he stepped between two box cars on the pfw and c sidetrack at delphos .\non july 15 , 1922 , another 453 miles were added to the system by affiliation with the cloverleaf ( tstl & w ; rr ) reaching from toledo , ohio to st . louis , missouri . thus , the nickel plate became a 1683 - mile system of trackage serving the industrial , agricultural , and distributing region between the mississippi river on the west , the great lakes on the north , and the niagara frontier on the east , with close traffic arrangements and service to the new england states and the atlantic seaboard reached through connecting lines .\nalways wondered what became of the missing link between the northeastern end and neoga . was there any specific reason for the break or was it just for unknown purposes ? like so many folks out there i had a grandfather who was an engineer with nprr and worked out of the mattoon / charleston yards / facilities . his usual route was to the st . louis area end and back .\n\u00b9 taylor hampton , the nickel plate road -

, largest of nickel plate ' s four components , became to nickel plate what it had never been to new york central - - an integral part of a well run railroad .\nthe main line of road extends from toledo to the ohio river at martins ferry , 217 . 5 miles : and from cleveland to coshocton , ohio , 116 miles .\nthe beginning of the end came july 1883 , when a minor creditor petitioned for a receiver . less than a third of the road was ballasted and hardly as much was fenced . along the older part of the system , many trestles were rolled out and unsafe to run trains across . the employees had not been paid since may and in july the 200 shopmen at delphos had refused to continue work without pay . after june 1884 , the receiver continued to operate the t . c . & st . l . between toledo and east st . louis . on jan . 6 , 1885 , all trains were discontinued save for a single mixed run in each direction . all but 20 shopmen at delphos were furloughed .\nhe new york , chicago & st . louis railroad company ( nyc & stl ; - reporting mark nkp ) had a storied 83 year existence . starting as a single road built with cash , it ended with four districts as a result of acquisitions made over the years . it survived control by the new york central and a joint venture with the c & o ; and pere marquette , and evolved into a leader in the delivery of freight with its renowned\nnickel plate high speed service\nand mighty berkshires . the material offered on this page and related links provide a capsule of this once great railroad . the nkphts hopes you find the information useful in furthering your knowledge and appreciation of the nickel plate road . \u00b9\na shortline , the wabash central railroad , operates the tracks beyond this line west from craigville to van buren .\neditor ' s note : bob holdgreve continues to write about the railroad in the delphos area in the 1800s .\nthe lake erie & western ' s sandusky to peoria mainline started in ohio with the fremont & indiana railroad company on april 22 , 1853 . the fremont & indiana was incorporated to build a line from fremont southwest towards the indiana state line . as years passed , more trackage was laid and through acquisitions the line was completed in 1888 .\nincorporated april 17 , 1882 , under laws of ohio . owned by the village of st . clairsville . this company was originally chartered june 7 , 1879 . on april 17 , 1882 , it was leased to the st . clairsville company for a period of thirty years , which company has been operating it since june , 1882 .\nthe wheeling of 1899 also took control of the cleveland belt & terminal railroad company and the zanesville belt & terminal railway co . , two belt and industrial switching lines in their respective cities .\non july 1 , 1922 , the nickel plate road was operating 523 miles of track between chicago and buffalo . on this date the nkp secured control of the properties formerly operated , managed , and controlled by the lake erie & western railroad co . the le & w ; added 707 miles of track reaching from sandusky , ohio to peoria , illinois , with two branches in indiana .\ndelphos merchants were forced to\ncarry\nthe railroad men for months at a time . the little giant was all but defunct and in such a sorry state of deterioration that men who accepted a call assumed a terrible risk . mixed trains out of delphos and toledo exchanged loaded cars at the auglaize river bridge one at a time , using empty cars as idlers . the timbers of the bridge were so badly rotted that the railroad did not dare to run even the lightest engines across it .\non march 14 , 1872 , four leading delphos businessmen organized the t . d . & i . railroad . because of a money panic in 1873 , they had to delay building the railroad until april 1877 , when the ground was broken in delphos .\nthe prospect of a nickel plate - norfolk & western alliance put the wabash railroad in the same position as the nickel plate had been ; that of a competitive orphan . the n & w ; , an expert in the operation of parallel lines since its acquisition of the virginian railway in 1959 , made no objections to adding the wabash .\nthe traffic of the company is largely freight , conveying stone and grain one way and lumber and coal the other .\n, whose articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state , june 30 , 1887 . all were organized under the general railroad\nthe wheeling & lake erie entered into a contract with the big four railroad in 1913 which gave the wheeling trackage rights from wellington to cleveland . this gave the w & le ; a much shorter route for cleveland - toledo traffic than before and the wheeling soon was moving its share of freight between these cities . this contract lasted through the nickel plate years .\nin 1964 , the nkp merged with the norfolk & western ( nw ) . in the early 1970s , a derailment near continental spelled doom for this line ; rail was pulled up from grand rapids to douglas in 1975 , and from douglas to craigville , indiana , in 1998 . ( this portion was sold to a shortline railroad in the late 1980s , but service was eventually discontinued by 1998 . )\nwith the ultimate acquisition of the pennsy ' s sandusky line as the connection between the nickel plate and the norfolk & western , the akron , canton & youngstown and the pittsburgh & west virginia railroads were forced to ask for inclusion in the new system . after more than four years of hearings and planning , the merger became a reality on october 16 , 1964 .\n, a new receiver was named in july 1856 , and the affairs of the railroad took a turn for the better . repairs were made to the dupont bridge and for the first time in two years the employees were paid in cash .\nas told by former president of the nyc & stl ; railroad company , lynne l . white . the following is an excerpt from the book\nthe nickel plate road , a short history of the new york , chicago & st . louis r . r .\nprinted in 1954 . the book is a record of an address given by mr . white to the newcomen society in north america , held in the ballroom of the hotel lawrence , erie , pa . , november 11 , 1954 . mr . white was guest of honor at this\n1954 lake erie dinner .\nanother second - wave road was the narrow gauge cleveland , canton & southern , also a coal - hauler . an outgrowth of the ohio & toledo and the youngstown & connotton valley railroad companies , this line reached cleveland from canton and kent in jan . 1882 , under the flag of the connotton northern railroad . like the others , it was susceptible to economic downswings , and the recession of 1884 - 85 threw the connotton northern into a receivership that produced the cleveland & canton railroad , a standard gauge carrier . the panic of 1893 prompted further corporate reshaping when the cleveland & canton became the cleveland , canton & southern . ultimately , in 1899 the property , which gave cleveland convenient access to east ohio coal fields , found a financially healthy home within the wheeling & lake erie system .\ni was in ramsey il today ( between vandalia and pana ) and noticed a restored , freshly painted nickel plate caboose near the old right of way and , on sitting on tracks on the right of way , a box car . in addition , the tower still stands where a junction once stood with the nickel plate and another railroad .\nclosed to all traffic . this segment of railroad recently purchased by winamac southern railway , but no trains have been over this bridge in at least a decade .\nthrough northern ohio , already served by four railroads , location of the line developed intense rivalries among cities . three routes were surveyed and communities along each proposed route vied in the raising of public subscriptions to donate rights - of - way . the road ' s general offices at cleveland frequently were besieged by delegations hoping to bring about the routing of the line through their communities . during these inter - city rivalries was born the nickname for the new york , chicago and st . louis - the nickel plate road - which rapidly became the name most commonly used .\non 1 sept . 1882 construction was finished on nickel plate ' s main line , which ran from buffalo via ft . wayne to chicago\u2014521 . 89 miles . in cleveland the nickel plate tracks ran from west to east , entering the city limits in the vicinity of detroit ave . and crossing franklin , lorain , walworth , and scranton avenues before coming to the cuyahoga river . once over the river , the tracks ran through kingsbury run and crossed willson ( e . 55th st . ) , kinsman , adelbert , mayfield , and euclid avenues before leaving the city . depots at euclid ave . and pearl ( w . 25th ) st . served nickel plate passengers until the depot at broadway and cross ave . was opened on 1 oct . 1883 .\nsince the early days of railroading , mergers and consolidations have played an important role in the development of our nation ' s rail system . the influence of larger and more powerful carriers always has been a major factor in the growth and stability of the smaller railroads . the greater nickel plate road was a result of the consolidation of the lake erie & western and the clover leaf with the original nickel plate in 1922 . each of these roads was , of course , a result of earlier consolidations and mergers .\nok , thanks . i just put information of the line in my area ( in illinois ) , and then the other information i put , about indiana , was just based on maps and stuff i found online , and the ohio portion , i did based on the fact that my grandparents live in that area and i know that rj corman rebuilt some lines in western ohio . i will deifnitely have to ask g @ urltoken to edit this . : )\nthe portion from sandusky and all throughout ohio that this article references is the lake erie and western , abandoned between sandusky and fostoria . this line was used by the nkp to access peoria , il , and sandusky , oh from its still - active mainline . like the cloverleaf , this line was purchased by the nkp in 1922 . norfolk southern does not operate the line from fostoria to sandusky via this route like the article states - - it is obviously abandoned .\nthe original wheeling & lake erie was incorporated on april 6 , 1871 to build a railroad between the ohio river and lake erie . toledo was selected as the northern terminus with a branch to huron . this mainline was completed in 1889 . the w & le ; never did reach wheeling , west virginia on its own rails , as the mainline ended at martins ferry , ohio , but did reach wheeling via the wheeling bridge & terminal co . , and completed a branch to steubenville in 1891 .\nthe short - lived toledo central operated on the former cloverleaf between south ave and the former interchange near the toledo zoo . actually , sections of the former cloverleaf are still in place beyond south avenue . if you follow the anthony wayne trail where it passes beneath interstate 75 you can see some rail still in place underneath the overpass . one of the bridges on this route where it crosses over the ns water level route was raised about 12 inches a couple of years ago . and i ' m pretty sure that none of this route was ever formally abandoned with the icc or stb . when the toledo central started up a few years ago an article that i read noted that the tc was leasing the track from ns . for whatever reason ns has maintained title to this track and probably the rest of the right of way into downtown .\ndoes anyone have information about a spur line that ran from mellott , indiana , to newtown . my dad used to tell stories about this railroad . . . following sr 341 . . . but never got any details . in the\nhistory of fountain county , indiana\nbooks there are mentions that there was fierce competition between mellott and newtown for the railroad . . . but no details .\nyou note in your page on the cloverleaf division , part 2 that\nthe nw abandoned the section of the line between frankfort , indiana and metcalf , illinois in the 1960s .\ni believe this is incorrect . i grew up in mellott , indiana which was on this stretch of the old nickel plate road / norfolk and western line that ran from frankfort to charleston , il .\nwas sold at public auction , under foreclosure , of its consolidated mortgage , the underlying divisional mortgages not being disturbed . the property was purchased by ernest r . adee and a . w . krech of new york , and afterwards sold and deeded by them on april 27 , 1899 , to the wheeling and lake erie railroad company , who took possession may 1 , 1899 , and have since operated the property . said company afterwards purchased the properties of the\nmr . j . w . hunt , the contractor , broke ground on the southern extension of the toledo , delphos , and indianapolis narrow - gauge last monday . a force of hands were put to work on a division of three miles , starting near the p . , ft . w . & c . railroad and extending south . a gang of hands also started out from spencerville to grade the line between that point and mendon . it is intended to run the cars over the road to mendon by the fourth of july . we congratulate out spencerville and mendon neighbors on their immediate prospects of railway intercourse with the metropolis of delphos .\n, and consolidated the same with their own properties , and have operated the same since august 14 , 1899 .\nthis unique structure was rare as it not only had a creek it crossed , but an interurban line as well ( indiana railroad , frankfort and kokomo traction , others ) . was supposedly upgraded sometime in the 1980 ' s for future traffic .\nit requires special mention that every farmer can count on 10 - 20 percent additional on each dollar worth of grain or stock he may have for sale , and a ready market for timber , which is now worthless . a farmer living some 10 miles away on the completed line of the toledo , delphos , & indianapolis railway and has experienced the good results , says\nlet everyone do their duty and this important enterprise will succeed .\na young man was taken sick with the ague while working on the railroad . he went over to kiefersville and got a dose of quinine which he took during his fever . this made him delirious and the whole gang of phillistines at kiefersville decided that the young man must be crazy . instead of judging him a lunatic and sending him to the asylum , they took him before a justice of the peace who fined him $ 10 and cost .\nwe took a look over the line of the toledo , delphos and indianapolis narrow - gauge between delphos and fort jennings last friday . we confess to an agreeable surprise at finding the construction of the most substantial character . in a distance of five miles , the line crosses the wagon road ( fort jennings road ) no less than five times , and at all the crossings , permanent and durable cattle - guards have been placed . the bridges are in position and present the most solid appearance . the work is going ahead in a gratifying manner , and soon the sound of the locomotive will be heard in the timber regions north of us .\nthe lake erie & western , itself , became part of the new york central system in 1900 . the le & w ; was operated as a separate entity throughout its association , never integrated into nyc operation . after the van sweringens acquired the nickel plate , the new york central sought to unload the le & w ; , so the nickel plate and the le & w ; were finally united .\n, and extension to zanesville , consolidated the same with their other properties , and have operated it since july 1 , 1900 .\nre : daniel ' s inquiry about a spur route from mellott to newtown - - i have quite a few articles on the history of mellott and newtown and have never seen anything about it . there is a story about james whitcomb riley coming for a visit to newtown and rode a\nhack\nfrom the depot in mellott to newtown . there was a bit of animosity in the early days between newtown and mellott because the railroad went through the area which is now mellott in the early 1880s and bypassed the already existent town of newtown .\nafterwards issued $ 500 , 000 of bonds to lay a second track and purchased equipment . the wheeling and lake erie railway company subsequently purchased and retired $ 224 , 000 of said bonds . the\nwhen the td and b moved its general offices to toledo in nov . 1880 , delphos began a determined campaign to secure the road ' s main repair shops . when bluffton , indiana ' s bond issue failed to get past the voters , the delphos city fathers got the shops by granting the td and b 12 acres of land and $ 30 , 000 cash . in august 1881 , the td and b completed a new 10 - stall roundhouse and a 60x90 foot blacksmith shop about a mile north of the pfw and c depot . during the summer of 1882 , a 130x80 foot machine shop with six pits was added . by late 1882 , the shops were employing more than 200 men .\nstarting north from dupont , the t . d . and i . co . have laid and ballasted as fine a new road as any human desires to lay eyes on . the almost impenetrable forest on both sides of the track are the densest imaginable , and beggar description ; verily , the thickest woods on earth . how a company of men could gather grit enough to build a railroad through such a country should astonish all .\ndelphos alone has raised over one hundred thousand dollars . her enterprise and pluck has made a young and thriving city out of a mudhole .\nin 1901 , the adena railroad bought the bellaire & valley junction railway , a proposed twenty mile line extending from adena south to neff , ohio . the w & le ; , through the adena , completed this line and placed it in operation on february 1 , 1903 . this line was operated by the wheeling and the nickel plate with equipment of the parent company .\nby october 1886 , six construction trains were used between frankfort indiana , and toledo . more than 600 men were employed , spiking 615 pound rail to new white oak cross - ties . spikes were driven at the outer ends of the ties so that one set of rails could be quickly moved into place when the time came to widen the track from narrow - gauge to standard . many trestles were rebuilt and new iron bridges were erected . at dawn on sunday june 26 , 1887 , construction trains steamed out of delphos , toledo and frankfort . more than 2 , 000 men working in gangs of 40 undertook the work of changing the gauge to standard . blessed with perfect weather , they had the entire job done by nightfall . the first standard - gauge passenger train left delphos for frankfort at 5 a . m . on june 27 .\nrailroads . while water traffic on both lake erie and the ohio & erie canal did much to develop cleveland , it took the appearance of the railroad to make the community ' s industrial takeoff a reality . from the 1860s to the 1960s , railroads served as the principal transporter of goods and people to and from the forest city . not long after the steam locomotive made its 1829 american debut , clevelanders realized the potential for this novel transportation form .\nthe wheeling & lake erie ' s history began with the organization of the carroll county rail road on march 9 , 1850 . this ten mile horse - car line eventually grew into a five hundred mile railroad that formed a cross in northern ohio . from the original carroll county , the line extended west to canton by 1880 . then it was built north to reach cleveland in 1881 , the same year the nickel plate was built . the connotton valley , as it was now known , then turned south , where it reached coshocton in 1883 . it later reached zanesville as a standard gauge railroad , now called the cleveland , canton & southern railroad . the c . c . & s . ; became part of the wheeling on august 5 , 1899 .\nwas effected may 9 , 1882 , under authority of the general laws of west virginia , and of acts of assembly of virginia , approved march 7 , 1872 , and various supplements thereof and also act of february 15 , 1882 .\n, under deed dated october 6 , 1896 . the property and franchises of the\n, under deed dated november 12 , 1896 . the property and franchises of the\nramsdey tower still exists as a museum . the tower protected the crossing of the illinois central gruber line and the cloverleaf division of the nickel plant , at ramsey . there are a boxcar and caboose beside the tower , but otherwise no tracks survive . the tower was the pattern for a new replica tower , the dick stair memorial tower at monticello railway museum , monticello , il that tower contains the interlocking machiones from gibson city and smithshire , illinois , and when completed , will operate nearby switches near the station at the museum . dick stair was a longtime operator for illinois central cahmpaign interlocking , once the sixth largest interlocking plant on the railroad . it controlled several station tracks as well as crossings iof illinis central , peoria and eastern , wabash and illinois terminal .\nthe lake shore & michigan southern , later a part of the new york central system , quickly realized the value of the nickel plate road as a competitor , purchased the road and held controlling interest in it until july 1916 . the van sweringen brothers were looking for ways to expand their real estate business in cleveland and bought the nickel plate to acquire a right - of - way for a new traction line . the vans soon found how nice railroading was and in a matter of a few years became very powerful railroad barons .\ni posted this question in another area on this forum yesterday , but this one seems more appropriate . while doing some family history research a few months ago in toledo , i discovered that a relative of mine had been hit by a train and killed at the\ncloverleaf yard .\nit was in the early 1900s and they lived on lorain street at the time . is there anyone out there who can tell me what this is , a little bit about what it was used for at the turn of the last century and whether i can still find the area the cloverleaf yard is in present day ? thanks in advance !\nsection 6 -

summer reality show , they probably weren ' t intent on asking fundamental questions about irish tv .\nbut in a funny and wholly unintentional way , that ' s exactly what they have done .\nlambasted by the critics , loved by the public and impossible to ignore , even if you claimed not to have watched a minute , failte towers posed some fascinating questions about where tv is going in this country .\nin terms of talent , you had old - school john creedon versus the new - school aidan power and baz ashmawy .\nthere was the reaction of the viewers , very much mainstream ireland , against the verdict of the chattering classes .\nand finally , there was vindication for rte - - and a timely reminder of what the irish viewing public ( as opposed to the station ' s critics ) actually want .\nclose to a million viewers tuned into last sunday night ' s grand finale , which saw the very popular john creedon crowned king of the castle .\nafter a shaky start , the reality show continued to grow its audience during its run , a very important factor in whether a show is deemed a success or not .\nthe national broadcaster could have simply staged another ' celeb karaoke ' show , confident the familiar but tired you ' re a star format would have won a respectable audience for not too much effort and little risk .\nwith a relatively modest budget , a small pool of possible celeb contestants and the well - established tradition of bashing anything new on rte , the show ' s producers could have expected a rough start .\nthis was further complicated by the initial and completely over - the - top reaction to first - time live tv presenter baz ashmawy .\nthe former how low can you go ? presenter found out the hard way that live tv can be a scary place for debutants , one of the few jobs where your first day in the office is observed by 300 , 000 people and a small army of critics with sharpened pens poised .\nthe fact that he was teamed up with the very experienced and professional aidan power , a tv natural , made life even more difficult .\nand the contrast between the new - school style - - high octane , eyes wide , arms waving - - and the old - school , laid - back charm of eventual winner john creedon was one of the more fascinating aspects of a strangely compelling show .\nthe accepted wisdom in tv , when it comes to presenters on many entertainment shows , revolves around vague buzzwords like ' energy ' , ' edge ' , ' zany ' and even ' danger ' .\nthe challenge for producers , and the talent they select and direct , is to get the balance right and match the right presenter to the right format .\nthe duracell bunny has loads of ' energy ' and mussolini was a pretty zany guy who positively fizzed with personality - - but you wouldn ' t want either of them fronting big brother .\nthere is a thin line between being energetic and zany and being annoying , between having bags of on - screen confidence and coming across like you have a great , big welcome for yourself .\nand then there has been the school of thought in tv that any reaction is a good reaction and as long as presenters provoke either love or hate , at least they are making an impact .\npresenters such as davina mccall and , more recently , comedians - turned - presenters such as russell brand and alan carr have made a career out of provocation .\nterrifyingly empathetic and scarily animated , mccall helped create the template for presenters on british tv through the ' 90s and into the noughties .\nmccall tends to present big brother - - admittedly a bear pit complete with a hysterical live audience - - as if heavily armed terrorists have taken over the gantry and will blow the place up if the energy levels drop below 150pc .\na - type personalities such as jonathan ross and jeremy clarkson can make their shows almost entirely about themselves , to the point where it seems the guests are there as mirrors to reflect their all - round brilliance . the move away from the ' big personality ' presenter has already started across the water with the bbc ' s adrian chiles - - very much a laid - back , low - key guy - - recognised as the hottest prospect on tv .\nand here , a show like failte towers can remind us how the public still appreciates a personality like creedon , somebody who gives space to others and is not intent on sucking up all of the available on - screen oxygen .\nof course , before we get too carried away , we should remember who exactly was watching failte towers .\nthere ' s no insult meant in using the term ' middle ireland ' when we talk about the families who are looking for a bit of summertime diversion as the rain comes down outside .\nthere is an argument to be made that mainstream entertainment tv in ireland will always do well as long as it has a certain percentage of what we could call the killnascully factor .\ncertainly , tv and radio should strive to be innovative , edgy and ahead of the curve .\nbut the public has shown , most recently through the enthusiastic reaction to failte towers , that there is still a place for tv that doesn ' t ask too much beyond inviting you to be entertained .\nand even sophisticated urban types would admit there ' s a lot of guilty pleasure to be had in a show like failte towers . using a music metaphor , there are times you will want to listen to the ting tings and times you might fancy a bit of abba .\nwe can almost certainly expect a failte towers ii and also expect ashmawy to be back , stronger and wiser , after what was a brave response to a very tough live tv baptism .\nin wider terms , the many column inches and heated opinions provoked by failte towers were a sign of the sense of ownership that we still feel when it comes to our national broadcaster .\nif we didn ' t care so much about our tv , we wouldn ' t get so excited about what was , after all , a late - summer schedule filler .\nnow the gauntlet has been thrown down to tv3 and the people behind the irish version of the apprentice ( funnily enough , the same people who did failte towers ) .\nthey are about to write the next chapter in the story of reality tv , irish style .\nliam devally , who died in dublin last week at the age of 85 , was a singer , quiz show host and broadcaster who switched in mid -

urltoken\nit has brought us eight summers of rows , racist rants , public nudity and obsessively watching people we really shouldn ' t care about lying around in bikinis .\nit ' s also been blamed for ( variously ) hastening the end of western civilisation as we know it , dumbing down the minds of an impressionable generation and spawning the z - list celebrity culture that dominates much of our media .\nthe news last week that australia ' s ten network , home to bb down under , has decided to axe the show after this current series has been widely perceived as the beginning of the end .\nproducers on the aussie version of the show had - - in an act of desperation - - paid e350 , 000 to pneumatic actress pamela anderson to be parachuted into their house for a week to boost ratings .\nbut the australian public voted with their remote controls and ten network bosses were forced to inform big brother overlords endemol that they would not be continuing with the all - conquering format .\nthe decision has , inevitably , prompted predictions that the channel 4 version of big brother will soon face the axe , even if cold commercial reality points to the uk version surviving for a few summers yet .\nchannel 4 agreed a deal with endemol in 2006 which secured the rights to the reality tv show until 2010 at a cost to the station believed to be in the region of \u00a3160m ( e200m ) .\nstation insiders have been quick to point to the fact that audience figures for the show have remained relatively high this summer at an average of 3 . 3m , down about 5pc from last year and around 8pc on the year before .\nand there is also the inescapable fact that ditching big brother now would leave a huge hole in their 2009 summer schedules that could - - even at this early stage - - be almost impossible to fill . however , contracts , schedules and ratings aside , endemol and its partners are facing up to one sobering fact that really does put the writing on the wall - - big brother is no longer news .\nnewspapers that previously treated the reality show as manna from heaven during otherwise barren summer months are only half heartedly reporting on this year ' s shenanigans .\nit is easy to forget now , but in the show ' s salad days , you were completely out of the loop if you didn ' t know what nasty nick , kinga or jade got up to the night before .\nthe internet buzzed with fan sites , newspapers and magazines devoted acres of coverage to the most trivial of developments and even the most clueless and charmless bb inmates became - - however briefly - - household names .\neven if you absolutely hated the show and refused to have anything to do with it , you somehow learned the names of at least one or two contestants by a process of pop culture osmosis . those days are gone .\nand the harsh reality for shows like big brother ( and the z - listers it has spawned ) is that if people aren ' t talking about you , then you don ' t really exist .\ni think the reason that shows like the apprentice have worked and why big brother is facing problems is that people want more sophistication , they want characters that have a lot to offer and a story that builds and actually goes somewhere ,\nsays ms mcquaid .\ni think i watched about five minutes of big brother this year and turned off .\nviewers want more than just a bunch of people locked into a house , doing nothing for day after day ; the novelty of that wore off a long time ago .\nand a concept like the apprentice , if you get it right , can offer that tension , the drama and the changing storyline that people are looking for .\nhomegrown reality tv shows have done well on irish tv , despite getting off to a poor start with the much derided celebrity farm and the doomed cabin fever , the\nbig brother on a boat\nconcept that was holed below the waterline both literally and figuratively .\nif it is well executed , you almost have a captive audience because irish viewers will tune in to see other irish people in a reality situation ,\nsays ms mcquaid .\nhowever , independent production companies also know that if you don ' t get it right from the start , those same irish viewers can switch off just as quickly .\ncelebrity farm bombed because , in my opinion , it was poorly executed ,\nsays lynda mcquaid .\nour challenge with the apprentice is to do a great job with the format with resources that are nowhere near what they have had in the us and britain .\nthey have a very strong format with the apprentice - - the bbc estimated that at least 8pc of the total audience for the last series was in ireland and that ' s a huge\naudience infiltration\nfigure in tv terms .\nwe now have all of our apprentices cast , and contracted , we begin filming in a couple of weeks and the show will go out over 12 weeks starting in late september .\nand we should still be talking about the young irish go -

2006 ) . he was in charge of financial issues in the launching of dtt tv channels as france 4 and gulli and of the news tv channel france 24 . in 2006 , he joined france t\u00e9l\u00e9visions general management department to develop a performance analysis tool on aired programs . in addition to his responsibilities , he became general manager of a sofica ( investment fund dedicated to cinema and tv programs ) in july 2005 .\n36 years old , master 2 of the european business school . co - founder and commercial manager of degetel , a computer engineering service company specialized in new technologies and the media . it developed its turnover from 0 to 45 m\u20ac in 7 years and was out with a lbo in 2007 . cofounder of openbridge , a consulting company .\nthe viral rna of tmv is infectious by itself , but rna on its own is very unstable . the addition of a 17 - kda coat protein ( cp ) around the rna protects the rna from degrading and makes tmv very stable . the assembly of a rod - shaped virion begins at a two - turn helical cp complex , called the 20s aggregate ( 11 ) , which recognizes the initiation motif . this motif contains an aag repeat ( 11 ) , with the last g being the most conserved ( 12 ) . each mature tmv is composed of 2 , 130 cp molecules and a 6 - kb linear positive - strand rna , organized in a helical rod of 3 , 000 \u00e5 in length and 180 \u00e5 in diameter . with the protection of cp , tmv can survive for years in cigars and cigarettes made from infected leaves .\nhere we take advantage of these latest technical developments and further improve the helical reconstruction method . by doing so , we have determined the structure of tmv in its metastable calcium - free state at 3 . 3 \u00e5 resolution by cryoem helical reconstruction . our structure reveals the mechanisms by which the tmv coat protein swaps base favorability ( g * a to a * g ) in response to the removal of calcium ions from its calcium switches . our structure also explains why both assembly and disassembly can happen with the same components in the same environment .\nas detailed in methods , we optimized the acquisition of high - resolution images in three aspects . first , we used a thoroughly cleaned and extensively \u201cbaked\u201d holey carbon grid as well as a small beam size to minimize specimen charging . second , we used parallel illumination to eliminate magnification differences across images at different defocus settings . third , we minimized beam tilt to reduce phase errors . electron micrographs of frozen hydrated tmv in the metastable calcium - free state show characteristic striations perpendicular to the helical axes ( fig . 1 a ) . these particles were boxed into segments ( see box in fig . 1 a ) which were subjected to reference - free 2d classification to obtain class averages . the incoherent average of fourier transforms of these class averages shows layer lines beyond a spacial frequency of 1 / ( 3 . 2 \u00e5 ) ( fig . s1 a ) , demonstrating the resolution limit of the images beyond 3 . 2 \u00e5 .\ncryoem reconstruction of tmv at 3 . 3 \u00e5 resolution . ( a ) cryoem micrograph showing natural striations of the tmv rods embedded in vitreous ice . ( scale bar , 600 \u00e5 . ) the image was denoised by applying a wiener filter , a median filter , and a low - pass filter to enhance the contrast . ( b ) central slice from the final 3d reconstructed map . ( c ) overview of the helical density map . ( d ) a single turn of 16 subunits of capsid protein ( ribbons in rainbow colors ) and bound rna ( atomic model at low radius ) . ( e ) ribbon diagrams of one cp and its three bound rna bases superimposed with the cryoem density map . see also movie s1 . lr , rr , ls , rs : left radial , right radial , left slewed , and right slewed \u03b1 - helices , respectively .\nwe first find the upper limit of \u03b4 based on the targeted resolution and the crowther formula ( 21 ) . for the case of tmv , \u03b4 has to be less than 1\u00b0 to achieve 3 . 3 \u00e5 resolution ; it also has to be an integral fraction of the angular span of the asymmetric unit , \u03d5 ( in the case of tmv , \u03d5 = 22 . 04\u00b0 ) , for the vernier strategy to work . therefore , the available choices of \u03b4 for tmv here are \u03d5 / 22 , \u03d5 / 23 , \u03d5 / 24 , and so forth . then we experiment on different combinations of \u03b8 and \u03b4 that satisfy the following three relationships : first , \u03b8 is an integral fraction or an integral multiplicity of \u03d5 ( i . e . , \u03d5 = m\u03b8 ) ; second , \u03b4 equals an integral fraction of \u03b8 ( \u03b8 = n\u03b4 ) ; and third , n \u00d7 m is an integer . the nominal angular locations ( 0 , 1\u03b8 \u2212 1\u03b4 , 2\u03b8 \u2212 2\u03b4\u2026 ) , in turn , fall into different asymmetric units at effective angular positions 0 , ( n \u2212 1 mod mn ) \u03b4 , ( 2n \u2212 2 mod mn ) \u03b4 , ( 3n \u2212 3 mod mn ) \u03b4\u2026 relative to the beginnings of each asymmetric unit when helical symmetry is considered ( fig . s2 b ) . after calculating these numbers , we would know whether a certain ( \u03b8 , \u03b4 ) pair passes the last quality control : whether the effective angular positions cover all of the 0 , \u03b4 , 2\u03b4\u2026 ( mn \u2212 1 ) \u03b4 positions in the asymmetric unit and whether these effective angular positions are evenly distributed within the asymmetric unit ( the number of nominal projection locations can be more than the effective positions ; in this case , we would like the effective positions of the extra projections to be evenly distributed in the asymmetric unit ) . if it does not , we try a different pair of \u03b8 and \u03b4 .\nresolution assessment of the 3 . 3 \u00e5 cryoem map . ( a \u2013 c ) representative structural features resolved beyond 3 . 3 \u00e5 resolution . atomic models are shown as sticks and cryoem densities are shown as wire frames . in b , the higher - density regions are displayed in navy color , showing that sugar and phosphate groups 3 . 3 \u00e5 apart are well - resolved . ( a and c ) the two stacked base groups of the rna ( a ) and the side chains of the two arginines that are stacked with their \u03c0 - bonds ( c ) are 3 . 3 \u00e5 apart . ( d \u2013 f ) representative regions of the map fitted with their atomic model , showing the quality of the map . ( d and f ) two hydrophobic regions showing the quality of the side - chain densities . ( e ) the sole small \u03b2 - sheet region of cp , showing the separation of the strands . see stereo views of d \u2013 f in fig . s2 .\ncarbonyl densities . representative areas of the density map that match with the shape of corresponding backbone carbonyl groups ( arrows ) .\nour reconstructed tmv structure ( fig . 1 b \u2013 e ) has the same overall shape as that of the high - calcium state solved by x - ray fiber diffraction ( 6 ) . the calculated helicity of our structure is 16 . 338 subunits per turn , or 49 . 013 subunits per three turns , which is slightly different from those used in previous studies ( 49 . 02 in refs . 6 and 9 , and 49 . 019 in ref . 23 ) . each asymmetric unit of tmv contains one cp and three rna bases ( fig . 1 e ) . each cp consists of four major helices , two minor helices , and one tiny \u03b2 - sheet ( fig . 2 e ) . these secondary - structure elements are joined by loops , one of which runs radially and binds rna ( rna - binding loop ) ( fig . 1 e ) . these loops are well - resolved in our cryoem structure , unlike the previous lower - resolution cryoem structure ( 9 ) .\nbased on this map , we built a full - atom model de novo ( methods ) . in each cp subunit , 155 ordered residues ( ser3\u2013ala157 ) and 3 bases are resolved . using side - chain densities resolved in our map and the counting criterion as described previously ( 24 ) , we identified in each cp 113 fully resolved amino acids ( 73 % ) , 24 partially resolved residues ( 16 % ) , 11 ambiguous residues ( 7 % ) , and 6 glycines ( 4 % ) . notably , even most of the \u201cambiguous\u201d and glycine residues have defined c\u03b1 positions . carbonyl groups are at times ( > 15 % ) visible in the density as protrusions ( fig . 3 ) . the rna densities are also well - resolved . phosphate groups sharply stand out at higher contour levels . the densities for the base moieties are in pie shapes similar to those of tryptophan residues .\nthe other calcium switch , located closer to the helical axis ( fig . s4 , blue circle ) , has been described previously ( 9 ) . the opening of this second switch results in lower affinity between adjacent cp subunits in the lateral direction .\nin sum , the net effect of losing calcium ions in the calcium switches is threefold : the lateral interaction between cps is considerably weakened ; the axial interaction between cps is strengthened ; and the affinity between cp and bound rna is decreased . such effects have changed the tightly bound helical assembly into a loosely bound \u201cbeads on a string\u201d structure that is held together by encircling ( but not as strongly binding to ) the viral rna , making possible the cotranslational stripping of cp by ribosomes during disassembly ( 6 , 26 \u2013 28 ) .\nchanges in cp\u2013rna base hydrogen - bonding networks triggered by low - calcium concentration .\nenvironments of the three bases in the low - calcium state shown in stereo . ( a and b ) environment of base 1 : the cases for adenine ( a ) and guanine ( b ) . the backbone oxygens of gly85 and asp88 make a hydrogen bond with n6 of adenine and n2 of guanine , respectively . when protonated , asp115 can form a hydrogen bond with n3 of this purine ( blue dashed lines ) . ( c ) environment of base 2 . as observed in our structure , the size of the density of this base fits a pyrimidine . if it is a uracil , its o4 forms a hydrogen bond with arg46 ; its n3 participates in the hydrogen - bond network mediated by a water molecule . ( d ) environment of base 3 . thr89 forms a hydrogen bond with any base in this position with its side - chain oxygen , either as a donor or an acceptor . base 3 favors guanine because only guanine gets an extra hydrogen bond with gln39 .\non the other hand , base 3 now favors guanine . the backbone oxygen of thr89 now turns and its hydrogen bond with base 1 in the high - calcium state is broken . as a consequence , its side - chain oxygen now forms a hydrogen bond with base 3 ( fig . 5 d ) . this hydrogen bond can be formed for all bases . if this base is a guanine , an additional hydrogen bond may form between its n2 and gln39 ( fig . 5 d ) . thus , guanine is more favorable at this base position .\nfor base 2 , the size of the density is too small for a purine ; therefore , we model a uracil base at this location ( fig . 5 c ) . o4 of this uracil forms a hydrogen bond with arg46 ( fig . 5 c ) . this hydrogen bond can also be formed with a guanine . a water molecule mediates a hydrogen - bonding network between arg90 , thr42 , and n3 of this uracil ( fig . 5 c ) . this hydrogen bond can be formed for all bases . it was suggested that this base favors adenine ( 29 ) ; however , in our experiment , we were unable to capture the conformation of an adenine bound in base 2 , possibly due to the relatively low abundance of adenine at this base position in the whole viral genome .\nthe above observations about the changed hydrogen - bonding network at low - calcium concentration on the three base slots are consistent with the notion that an aag - repeating motif is necessary to initiate the encapsidation process ( 12 ) .\nin the fiber diffraction structure it was concluded that the rna binding site specifically favors a g * a motif . however , the rna binding site revealed in our structure favors an a * g motif instead . both motifs match with the aag motif observed as the initiation motif ( 12 ) ( the g * a motif can be converted to * ag by applying a frameshift operation ) . because our structure represents the conformation in a low - calcium - concentration environment , which is the same as that which the virus encounters during assembly , the a * g motif revealed in our structure now offers direct evidence as to why the aag motif initiates the encapsidation process ( 12 ) .\nparticles on the micrographs were selected manually by the helixboxer program in the eman package ( 31 ) and subsequently boxed out automatically with a custom - designed program helixbatchboxer that is deposited in the eman repository . this program also cut the helical particles into segments using user - selected overlapping schema . reference - free 2d classification was done with the eman urltoken module ( results ) . the starting model was generated in a similar fashion as previously ( 32 ) . the 3d structure was refined iteratively as follows for 10 iterations . for every iteration , the current best structure is used as a reference to obtain a refined structure using the eman refine module for one single round ; this refined structure is used to refine the helical parameters by the hsearch _ lorentz module of ihrsr ( 20 ) ; the newly determined helical parameters are used to generate a new structure by helicizing the eman reconstruction with the himpose module of ihrsr ( 20 ) . we used the vernier method to guide projection generation in the eman refinement ( results ) .\nfor the himpose program , we made three modifications that are critical for reaching atomic resolutions . first , we modified it to use the central 1 / 5 segment of the volume for averaging , instead of the 2 / 3 that is hard - coded in the original ihrsr program . second , we introduced a new feature so that the helicized map will not shift or rotate in relation to the starting model as the original program does . third , we implemented an oversampling scheme into himpose to minimize interpolation errors introduced during averaging and back - and - forth conversions between cylindrical and cartesian coordinate systems .\nupon reaching convergence of the above iterative refinement , we switched to a refinement method similar to that described previously ( 9 ) , except that we generated our 3d reconstruction by merging class averages ( as in eman ) instead of individual particles . the reconstructed volume was helicized in real space with the ihrsr himpose program . an initial atomic model was built from the resulting density as described below , and the fourier amplitude of the resulting density map was rescaled by a one - dimensional structure factor ( 24 ) which was derived from our initial atomic model . the map was further sharpened by deconvolution of an envelope function with a 60 \u00e5 2 b factor .\nwe used 61 , 708 particle segments in our refinement process . each segment has a length of 512 pixels , or 445 \u00e5 . although a recent paper recommends a large overlap between neighboring segments for objects with small rise per subunit ( 33 ) , we initially chose an overlapping level of 90 % as previously used ( 2 , 9 , 32 ) ( si discussion ) . therefore , each particle segment has 10 % ( or 51 pixels ) of fresh data , which represents 31 asymmetric units . all these segments represent about 1 . 9 million asymmetric units , or 31 , 882 icosahedral particle equivalents ( compare with 20 , 473 in ref . 18 ) . bad segments were excluded based on lack of mutual similarity , and about 43 , 000 segments ( 22 , 000 icosahedral particle equivalents ; compare with 18 , 646 in ref . 18 ) were included in the final reconstruction .\nauthor contributions : p . g . and z . h . z . designed research ; p . g . performed research ; p . g . and z . h . z . analyzed data ;

charged dc region . their masthead includes a facsimile of the american seal . they wanted to stimulate online readership with a campaign that would not only distinguish them from their competitors , but also be true to their belief in the traditional values of this country . we gave them a battle cry that both conservatives and liberals could relate to and they , as a brand , could support : freedom isn\u2019t free . the multimedia campaign included tv , print , radio , ooh , mobile billboards , and a significant online component using interactive web banners that took readers to the latest headlines , a twitter feed , and a chance to win a free ipad .\nafter a year of depicting national treasures romantically in advertising , we shifted to highlighting the unique , unconventional and unexpected local culture as well .\ndc has always been a magnet for people who want to buck the system and change the world . this mindset profoundly influences the local food scene , entertainment and culture like nowhere else in the world .\nmany things that happen in life each day are beyond our control . a flat tire . a leaky coffee cup . the rudeness of others . annoying little things happen all the time .\nthis observation served as the basis for a wonderful advertising campaign for the dc lottery , one that distinguished them immediately from two adjacent lotteries in the region who outspend them , virginia and maryland .\nfor those who are victims of the small pieces of bad luck that rain upon the human race , we offered a bright spot in an otherwise not so bright moment - - a lottery\nintervention .\nin short order , the phrase\ni need a lottery intervention\nresonated with consumers and became part of the vernacular .\nyou have a lottery ticket in your pocket . you think about whether you might win . you imagine the feeling . you anticipate the moment when you see the numbers , and realize they are winning numbers . your heart beats faster . tears of joy come to corners of your eyes .\nit is this moment , the moment between anticipation and reality , that we captured in this campaign for the dc lottery .\nin a radio campaign that highlighted the fact that\nit ' s fun to play\nthe dc lottery , we created the department of national insecurity . created as a foil , it portrayed a fictitious organization that monitored the\nnot so much fun\nthings happening around the world . try not to laugh when you listen .\nour first opportunity was to create a new theme line for them , which we did .\nfree expression lives\nwill serve as their mantra moving forward .\nour first advertising assignment was to promote an intriguing statement of free expression . called\nlouder than words ,\nit explored the roll that rock music has played in conveying words of protests and promise in our culture over the last 50 years .\nour work took the form of out -

known symbols in washington , dc , thanks to the annual cherry blossom festival .\nsince playing the lottery is fun , and it ' s always there to provide fun when the desire to play occurs , we decided to have some fun with the logo and animate the cherry blossom to a laughing smiley face . and we wondered what it would be like if someone working in an office happened to get a phone call from that same smiley face , on break from its position in the logo to pop out of that person ' s phone . in other words , what would happen if\nfun\nreally did call from the dc lottery ?\nthe international spy museum is run by real spies - - former members of the cia , fbi , nsa , mi5 & kgb .\nin the interest of creating intrigue , it seemed only natural to use those real spies in the advertising .\nour efforts included out - of - home , magazine , newspaper and digital assets and resulted in a 7 . 03 % year over year sales increase .\na comprehensive research study of the dc lottery region and its players revealed that the more consumers see evidence that people actually win prizes of all sizes playing the dc lottery , the more likely they would be to play .\nso we told stories of real people who have won various amounts of money from the dc lottery . and we told those stories in ways that were charming and humorous , which made their personal experiences playing the lottery even more rewarding .\ndistrict doughnuts is a growing business that not only makes the most delicious doughnuts you are likely to find , but has a very simple and rewarding premise for doing so . they are in business to make people happier . it ' s just not possible to eat a district doughnut and not feel happier .\nthe founder himself gets delight by watching people come into his locations . if someone looks particularly unhappy , he will personally give them a free doughnut to watch them transition into a smile .\nin an effort to stimulate hotel bookings during february , a month that is typically not big for tourism in the nation ' s capital , destination dc has a month -

longitudinal flow system , in which the grain is threshed in the cross flow and delivered from the machine in the longitudinal flow . initially developed under the name super model mower - thresher - binder , this trailed combine harvester entered series production from 1946 under the name super . with the trailed super and its little brother the junior ( from 1953 on ) , claas established combine harvesters as viable contenders in europe . the super combine harvester , with its revolutionary lightweight construction , was continuously revised and enhanced . the machine was equipped with groundbreaking hydraulic control , for instance , from 1958 under the name automatic . the system enabled the vehicle operator to control the basic settings of the trailed combine harvester using a hydraulic spool valve on the tractor . the super delighted customers over the years with its high productive capacity , efficiency and reliability . by the end of production in 1978 , more than 65 , 000 units in the super combine harvester family had been built in harsewinkel ."]}

scale features and precipitation particle dynamics .\nmapr is one of three companies that has made a name for itself by building a business around hadoop , the open - source technology that aims to help companies analyze big data and analytics questions to increase profits or reduce costs . mapr , which competes with both cloudera and hortonworks , prides itself on having built an industrial - grade version of hadoop tuned for high availability and data protection .\nthere ' s still a major gap that mapr has yet to fill - - its rivals , cloudera and hortonworks have been far more proactive with data governance and security . while its converged platform offers a common target for third party offers to encrypt or protect data , mapr has yet to provide its own solutions for data discovery , audit , lineage , metadata management , and policy enforcement .\nit brands its product as a converged data platform that , in effect , flattens the lambda architecture by supporting streaming , interactive , and batch processing on the same cluster . the company emphasizes that its platform is not disparate pieces , but file , table , and streaming engines springing out of common building blocks . that encompasses the nfs , posix - compliant mapr - fs file system on which its nosql database ( mapr - db ) tables co - reside . and with the open source drill project that mapr leads , you can use the same query engine to target sql and json data .\nmapr has been working hard for many years to make dataops more effective . the way we did that is with a very innovative technology platform that really thought about the comprehensive needs of the dataops community .\nmapr supports dozens of open source projects and is committed to using industry - standard apis to provide a frictionless method of developing and deploying exciting new applications that can meet the most stringent production runtime requirements .\nwith mapr , you can configure hadoop services to run on multiple nodes for failover . if one service node fails , another continues to perform the tasks related to that service without delaying the mapreduce job .\nin the hadoop world , we ' ve noted that mapr has always marched to a different drummer . its core file system is the building block for its converged platform , where you can squash the lambda architecture , running batch , interactive , and real - time on the same cluster . putting iot money where its mouth its , mapr also recently added edge processing to extend the footprint of its converged platform .\n\u201cour partnership with mapr in the big data space is already delivering measurable business benefits for customers and we look forward to expanding this alliance to jointly pursue other opportunities where we have deep expertise , \u201d said ramaswamy .\nthe shuffle phase of a mapreduce job combines the map output so that all the records from a given key / value pair\u2019s key go to one reduce task . this phase involves a great deal of copying and coordination between nodes in the cluster . shuffling in mapr - fs is much faster than other hadoop distributions because mapr uses highly optimized , efficient remote procedure call connections to transport data while other hadoop distributions use http connections .\nother hadoop distributions keep map output on local disk , which creates competition for disk space between local and distributed storage . in mapr , any spilled data is stored in the distributed file system making it directly accessible .\ntata consultancy services , the country\u2019s largest it company , today said it has partnered with mapr technologies to make new big data offerings to enterprise customers which will allow them to easily and rapidly capture value from big data .\nthe mapr distribution for hadoop provides built - in mirroring to set recovery time objectives and automatically mirror data for backup . you can create local or remote mirror volumes to mirror data between clusters , data centers , or between on - premise and public cloud infrastructures . mirror volumes are read - only copies of a source volume . you can control the schedule for mirror refreshes from the mapr control system or with the command - line tools .\nmapr analytics and ml engines include all of the tools needed to conduct real - time analytics and machine learning at scale , backed by the industry & apos ; s only platform that integrates files , tables , and streams .\nand so , given the theme of convergence , it ' s not surprising that mapr also boasts of bringing analytic and operational processing together . yes , they run on the same cluster , but not the same storage engines ; analytics is still the domain of the hadoop file system side , while operational is confined to the nosql database - - although you could use drill query across both . mapr ' s narrative of bringing analytics and operational applications together is not unusual .\nmapr just concluded its first - ever analyst event , a milestone for a company that has traditionally operated well below the radar . it has clawed out a foothold where 40 percent of its customer base was poached from cloudera and hortonworks , and where it has achieved a 99 percent renewal rate for subscriptions that typically grow 35 percent from year to year . like cloudera , mapr has predicted that it would go cash flow neutral by 2017 - 18 , with implications of looming ipo .\nthe built - in mapr high availability ( ha ) features eliminate single points of failure at the node , and include file system metadata , nfs access , resource management ( yarn ) , and job tracking levels . you can benefit from :\nwhen choosing a hadoop vendor , you want options . you want to choose the right tool for the job , as well as the right time to upgrade . mapr gives you multiple choices for key capabilities , as well as support for multiple project versions .\nwhat sets us apart ? simply put , the folks who choose to work at mapr enjoy working on cutting - edge , challenging projects . we set the bar high here , because we\u2019re constantly inspired by both the technology we\u2019re working on and the people we work with . at mapr , it\u2019s not just about the perks . it\u2019s about working on game - changing technology with some of the best and brightest people in the world . we\u2019re at the forefront of redefining enterprise computing , and we have fun doing it .\ncovering data platforms , one has to have enough knowledge about storage to be dangerous . as mapr added the option for selling its storage system a la carte , our initial thought was , why enter a mature space already dominated by household names ? while mapr ' s file system share the same posix - compliance as emc , netapp and other enterprise storage stalwarts , it is positioning its offering as a lower priced alternative taking advantage of modern , commodity scale - out hardware . well , that makes it look a bit like emc isilon .\nthe industry\u2019s leading unified data platform , the mapr converged data platform is able to simultaneously do analytics and applications with speed , scale , and reliability . it converges all data into a data fabric that can store , manage , process , apply , and analyze as data happens .\nmapr - es is a global publish - subscribe event streaming system for big data . it is the first big data scale streaming system built into a converged data platform and the only big data streaming system to support infinite data persistence and global event replication reliably at iot scale .\nwhere do i start ? top of the class technologies , tremendous opportunities to learn beyond your job role , colleagues that you truly admire . but what sets mapr truly apart from the rest is that the lost art of mentoring is very much alive within its walls .\nbright and talented people are what make mapr special and i love that i get to hire people to add to that . we work in one of the hottest areas of technology - and we work hard - but we also have a lot of fun doing it .\nmapr also makes the case that converged platforms are more efficient for iot as well , because it means less roundtrips to different clusters for aggregating , streaming , parsing , analyzing , and persisting the data . but convergence for use cases as distributed as iot only go so far , literally , as the dispersed nature of iot data and bandwidth limitations augur for filtering , pre - processing and aggregation out at the edges . the question is whether mapr will follow in amazon ' s footsteps in offering a greengrass - like pre - processing facility out at the edge .\nnonetheless , there are limits to the degree that mapr can tout advantages like high performance or convergence . in an era of spark ( which mapr supports ) , real - time performance on hadoop not so unusual . and the advantages of a converged platform may not suit all scenarios . no matter how performant your platform , if you have highly demanding dueling workloads , such as highly complex batch jobs involving tens of petabytes of data running alongside real - time , continuous iot applications running a smart city , it may still be advantageous to run them on separate clusters .\nmapr 6 . 0 powers dataops , helping you unleash greater value from all your data in less time . the data struggle is real . last - generation and even newer technologies are limiting and lead to silos across the organization , which hinder innovation , collaboration , and access to data .\nwith mapr orbit cloud suite our vision is to empower you to unleash your full cloud potential wherever you are in your cloud journey . we do this with unique value - add capabilities across all cloud operating models including : private cloud , public cloud , multi - cloud , and edge .\ncisco it built a big data platform to transform data management and provide big data analytics services to cisco business teams . cisco used mapr for their enterprise hadoop architecture to unlock hidden business intelligence of their globally distributed large data sets , while also providing service - level agreements ( slas ) for internal customers .\nthe mapr converged data platform enables direct processing of files , tables , and event streams . unlike\nconnected\nenvironments that require complex integrations and orchestration , convergence offers a streamlined architecture that enables real -

a company with strong support for open source big data projects - to together help drive continued growth and innovation of spark . join us at the upcoming spark summit , the largest conference focused on spark , to learn more !\nby using mapr , comscore is able to easily manage and significantly scale their hadoop cluster , create more files faster , process more data faster , and produce better streaming and random i / o results than other hadoop distributions \u2013 and do so confidently knowing they can count on data protection and disaster recovery functions when needed .\nmapr says it has 500 paying licensees and that bookings in the first quarter of 2014 were triple those seen in the prior year . ( but as is typical with startups , it doesn\u2019t disclose those figures . ) the company says it plans to use the new funding to boost its global go - to - market efforts .\nmapr has made considerable headway with customers like american express that required the type of analytic performance of spark - - about five years before spark emerged . it also required the ability to update files in place , but commercial file systems like isilon at the time weren ' t equipped for handling large - scale parallel data access .\nin your business - critical big data environments , reliability , security , multi - tenancy , and speed are all important components . mapr customers achieve 99 . 999 % uptime and no data loss on a broad collection of distinct data sets , all while getting more output from fewer resources to lower their total cost of ownership ( tco ) .\nyou can manage volume permissions through access control lists ( acls ) in the mapr control system or from the command line . you can also set read , write , and execute permissions on a file or directory for users and groups with standard unix commands , when that volume has been mounted through nfs , or using standard hadoop fs commands .\nbut then again , mapr is positioning this for cloud storage - it ' s not trying to replace on premise enterprise storage , . but then again , for truly scalable storage , object stores such as s3 , azure blob storage , google cloud storage are the default . incumbents like dell emc are also trying to home in on the action .\nin addition to mapr -

site mirroring ( across edge , multiple clouds and on - premises )\nincreasingly , mapr , the rebel has gone mainstream , but not necessarily by joining the crowd . instead , the rest of the industry ended up embracing the same open core model , but with their own twists on implementing it . cloudera has been open core from the start , but unlike mapr , focuses its unique content away from the runtime ( e . g . , for monitoring , data governance , sql optimization , and encryption key management ) . hortonworks , the embodiment of 100 percent open source , has recently taken a more realpolitik strategy that began with several oem agreements with atscale , syncsort , and pivotal followed by a more drastic departure with its special hortonworks data cloud for aws that swaps in amazon s3 cloud storage for hdfs .\nto schroeder , that\u2019s a costly model . \u201cour competitors\u2019 model is very cash intensive and you have to wonder whether or not they\u2019ll ever be cash - flow positive , \u201d he said . \u201cwe want to provide our customers with the best technology . \u201d practically all \u2014 92 percent , schroeder said \u2014 of mapr\u2019s customers pay primarily for licenses and not for ancillary services and support .\nmapr announced this morning that it had raised $ 110 million in combined equity and debt financing . the $ 80 million equity - bearing portion of the round was led by google capital , the search giant\u2019s growth equity fund , with participation from qualcomm ventures , the investment arm of the wireless chip company . prior investors lightspeed venture partners , mayfield fund , nea and redpoint ventures also participated .\nwhen it emerged from stealth in 2011 , mapr was an outlier in the hadoop community . at the time , hadoop was defined largely by two projects adapted from google research : mapreduce , which introduced highly linear , massively parallel processing to big data , and the hdfs file system , which could accommodate data by the petabyte . and at the time , hadoop was defined as an apache open source platform .\nthe new s3 support from mapr - xd is a response to more tightly interweaving s3 into the online system . traditionally , s3 was the place where cloud data was stored , but when it was consumed by managed hadoop services such as amazon emr , it was marshaled into its own file system . amazon on its own has been exposing s3 data through ad hoc sql query services like athena , and more recently to redshift through spectrum .\nand back to our original point : mapr ' s practices aren ' t all that different from the rest of the field anymore . but forget about acceptance of open core at the moment , the existence of open source or standards won ' t guarantee interoperability . for instance , in the hadoop world , there are at least a dozen or more interactive sql engines - - not to mention in the sql relational database world , there ' s even more variants floating around .\ni talked with ceo john schroeder last week . he told me that about half of mapr\u2019s customers are the traditional web - and cloud - based companies , while the other half are financial and telecommunications and manufacturing companies . \u201cour approach to the market is heavy on investment in research and development , \u201d he said . the reason ? \u201chadoop is early technology and there are a lot of must - have technologies that hadoop is going to have to add in order to be a real big data platform . \u201d\nthe mapr distribution for hadoop provides snapshots , which enable you to roll back to a known good data set . a snapshot is a read - only image of a volume that provides point - in - time recovery . snapshots only store changes to the data stored in the volume , and as a result make extremely efficient use of the cluster\u2019s disk resources . snapshots preserve access to historical data and protect the cluster from user and application errors . you can create a snapshot manually or automate the process with a schedule .\nthe multiple antennas are used to make a rapid wind measurement using a technique known as spaced antenna winds . as the atmosphere moves over the radar , the motion of atmospheric echoes is tracked over the multiple receiving antennas to make a wind measurement . measurements can be made on time scales of 30 seconds to 5 minutes , which is considerably faster than the 10 - 15 minutes required by traditional dbs wind profilers . mapr can also be run in multiple frequency mode to make rim ( range imaging ) fine range resolution measurements .\neverything is coming up hadoop . another company in the business of selling a version of the open - source big - data platform has landed another round of funding .\nits approach is different from the other primary players in the hadoop market . the best known of that set is cloudera , and the second is hortonworks . \u201chadoop needs a tremendous amount of innovation , \u201d schroeder says . \u201cit\u2019s really early in the technology cycle . it needs large infusions of focused r & d and development of ip . \u201d\ncompare that to cloudera , which announced its own $ 65 million series e round of funding at an implied valuation of $ 700 million , late last year . like linux , the open source operating system that runs on so many servers , hadoop is technically free , and any company can go out and download it for nothing . the trick comes in knowing what to do with it , and managing it , and getting value out of it . cloudera\u2019s primary approach is to sell value - added services around it , and help companies get more out of hadoop than they otherwise would . hortonworks has a similar approach .\ninstead , the services come from third party systems integrators and accenture and booz allen hamilton . \u201cif you look today , and 24 months down the road , certainly all the systems integrators are expanding and will continue to expand their big data practices . it\u2019s not a great business model as a company to bank on long -

end studios and pricey productions .\nlet\u2019s clear one thing up straight away , shall we ? momenta quintae essentiae ( prophecy productions ) , the fourth album from herefordshire one - man outfit nhor , is in no way a metal album . there\u2019s nothing in the way of rock either . this is \u2018funeral classical\u2019 delivered by an occasional blackened doom dabbler , and is utterly stunning .\nin a move which seeks to showcase their musical specialties , record labels such as prophecy productions will occasionally sell themselves to likely consumers by putting out a carefully selected compilation cd with the best of their bands\u2019 repertoire . however , it\u2019s rarely seen that these bands will be linked together by something other than genre or even icon tributes ; which is where \u2018\nwe don\u2019t usually cover record label signings here at metalsucks \u2014 there are just too many to keep up with , and we\u2019ve found that our readers care more about the music itself than who\u2019s releasing it \u2014 but given all that\u2019s gone on with nachtmystium over the past few years we think it\u2019s important to publish this one : nachtmytsium have signed with prophecy productions .\ntwo years ago , prophecy embarked on an exciting journey with v\u00f6lur by releasing their ep\ndisir\n. since then , the canadian trio has graced us with an earth -

up to its 2012 release , seven bells .\nhaven\u2019t you ever wanted to go to a festival in a german cave ? fucking of course you have . don\u2019t even pretend otherwise . and somehow , given the vast sonic swath it covers , from the post - everything metal of arcturus to the eastern european folk of the moon and the nightspirit to the goth - infused heavy rock of dool \u2014 all of which operates under the banner of prophecy productions , it has to be noted \u2014 the lineup for prophecy fest 2017 couldn\u2019t be more appropriate . the fest is set for july 28 and 29 at balver h\u00f6hle in balve , germany .\nwe are proud to have schwadorf and konstanz back at prophecy fest 2017 for a special performance with a classical ensemble of strings , percussion and vocals ! we are proud to add dool , one of our most exciting signings in recent years , to the billing of prophecy fest 2017 . ryanne van dorst and her pack will prepare a special set with five additional musicians and singers exclusively for this event ! the moon and the nightspirit will play a one - time show at prophecy fest ! their line - up will be extended by a pianist / harpist and a flutist and their set will include songs never played before .\ngreetings ! first of all , our first two albums are now available to purchase from prophecy productions , ( as well as lots of other places more local to you ) . to celebrate this , we also have a new t - shirt & hooded top as well , in the theme of opportunistic thieves , with a back print that reads ' may all your bloodlines clot ! ' if you ' re into wearing such casual garments , you need to go to the prophecy store and no doubt they will take very good care of you . all prices include worldwide shipping , which is nice of them . see what i mean ?\nwere responsible for all of the releases of chicago house music between 1985 and 1989 . the productions , from tape copies to vinyl , were very simple and involved minimal financial risk ; distribution took place primarily through special local stores .\nlast album was watered -

ordering soon .\nfirst of all , we are proud to announce our signing with prophecy productions , home of many , many great artists we admire . we only hope not to lower the tone of such an outstanding and respected label too far . at the moment , there is not much more to be said on this front , however , we have made it our aim to start using the club ' s recording facilities by october / november , and are already hard at work writing our new album .\nsome labels have their own \u201cfavorites\u201d amongst others signed to them ( holy records and nightfall is the perfect example ) ; is it the same with you ? i mean , could we name f . ex . empyrium as prophecy\u2019s leading band ?\nyes . it\u2019s really a cave . yes , you can go there and see cave stuff . there will also be a lineup of bands that emphasizes the unique ( not a word i use often ) breadth of prophecy productions , and that only makes it more special as an event . i don\u2019t know how many fests you go to in the average year \u2014 10 ? 15 ? \u2014 but i try and hit a few . i\u2019ve never been to one in a cave . i\u2019m ashamed to admit it .\nprophecy fest takes place in a natural cave from old stone age \u2013 balver h\u00f6hle . according to germanic saga , the blacksmith wieland had his workshop in the cave . balve , germany , is situated between dortmund , cologne , frankfurt and hannover .\nantimatter , the u . k . project whose recording / touring lineup has included current and former members of anathema , has signed a new two - album deal with prophecy productions . work on the band ' s fifth lp ,\nfear of a unique identity\n( formerly\nwide awake in the concrete asylum\n) is largely completed ; its release is tentatively scheduled for the second half year . antimatter ' s mick moss has also announced plans to release another album in 2013 , entitled\nthe judas table\n.\nthe sounds of acoustic instruments , the revolutionary impact of the digital sampler resided in its ability to directly reproduce them . the creative re - use of old recordings took place alongside an explosion in prefabricated sampled instruments , so midi sequencer productions could now inexpensively include almost any acoustic instrument .\nnachtmystium is extremely honored to be working with prophecy productions . it\u2019s a true pleasure for me to have been able to develop a personal relationship with the prophecy label staff in southern california . we are able to meet face - to - face regularly and work together at creating the best possible environment for nachtmystium to begin to rebuild its way back into the metal community after some very dark years and times that i have spent the majority of the last two years cleaning up the debris from . those dark days are now behind me , the band and all whose lives we effect in one way or another . onward and upward is the attitude and goal here , as nachtmystium\u2019s ascension returns to its past form . expect to hear a lot of new music and news from our camp in 2018 . \u201d\nafter the music\u2019s initial success , these record companies began to use more professional studios in chicago , according to chris kempster , who disputes what he calls \u201cchicago\u2019s extensive mythology\u201d ( kempster 1996 : 16 ) \u2013 that is , the impression that all chicago house productions were put together without any traditional studio equipment .\nmick moss has created a delicate , involving and contemplative sixth antimatter album . opening up , just as he does with many of his lyrics , to ghost cult , the english songwriter took the time to discuss the heart , soul and creation of \u2018the judas table\u2019 ( prophecy )\nin hip - hop , digital samplers gave producers an effective tool for recapturing the actual dj practice of playing small excerpts from various tracks . the earliest hip - hop releases ( for example , from sugar hill records ) were productions where this dj practice was transferred to a traditional recording practice using acoustic instruments ( see greenberg 1999 : 23\u201332 ) . thus productions with digital samplers were considered closer to the original hip - hop culture and therefore more \u201cauthentic . \u201d the use of digital samplers in electronic dance music did not have the same roots in dj practice . see also discussion on digital sampling in katz 2004 , chapter 7 .\nof course , such eclectics are a perfect fit for prophecy , so we feel honoured to start a long - term cooperation with iron mountain . this is what band representative matt bashford has to say : \u201cprophecy have been working hard to create a nurturing environment for artists to grow for almost 20 years now . the label has committed itself to artistic , rather than financial ideals . this kind of relationship is unusual to see these days and for this amongst many other reasons , that we are confident that this will become the healthiest environment for iron mountain to grow and prosper as a group .\nwhat else could you call alcest \u2018s souvenirs d\u2019un autre monde but the right album at the right time ? on some levels it seems like a quick 10 years since the french post - black metallers made their opening and defining statement with their first full - length , but when one considers the impact that record has had since , yeah , a decade sounds about right . respected purveyor prophecy productions will give souvenirs d\u2019un autre monde its due with a deluxe reissue next month and the package looks suitably lush for the groundbreaking melodic wistfulness neige and winterhalter brought to bear the first time around . if ever there was an album suited to nostalgia\u2026\n- yes , it ' s true , we have a special relationship to empyrium . markus stock cooperates also now even more with prophecy as he opened an excellent new record studio in the same town as our office is situated . and we send a lot of our bands to markus to record their material .\nnow sober , judd continues to rebuild his life , both personally and professionally . as part of nachtmystium joining the prophecy productions family of artists , the band will release future recordings through the label , who will also reissue much of the group\u2019s extensive back catalog , including the critically acclaimed releases eulogy iv ( 2004 ) , assassins : black meddle , part i ( 2008 ) , worldfall ( 2008 ) , doomsday derelicts ( 2009 ) , addicts : black meddle , part ii ( 2010 ) , silencing machine ( 2012 ) and the rare 7\u2033 ep as made ( 2012 ) . the new union supersedes the band\u2019s previously - announced deal with earache records .\n\u2018 draws its own niche , to set itself apart from other label packages . bringing musicians together under the aesthetic theme that the two - disc release\u2019s title describes ; it may be that this is one relatively small step for prophecy and another step forward for creative integrity in the ocean of the current music industry .\nnot to be confused with the swedish space rockers who made their debut last year on svart and share the moniker , iceland\u2019s katla is a duo comprised of former s\u00f3lstafir drummer gu\u00f0mundur \u00f3li p\u00e1lmason and multi - instrumentalist / vocalist einar thorberg gu\u00f0mundsson who will issue their own first outing , titled m\u00f3\u00f0ur\u00e1stin , oct . 27 via prophecy productions , and who exist in a much different sonic sphere . rife with melancholy and progressive intent , one can nonetheless hear an air of classic doom in their leadoff single \u201chyld\u00fdpi , \u201d streaming below , and from their katatonia - esque logo to the my dying bride - vibe of m\u00f3\u00f0ur\u00e1stin \u2018s cover art , they seem to embrace that notion on several levels .\ni\u2019m not gonna lie : i\u2019m surprised to see that there\u2019s any record label willing to take a chance on nachtmystium and blake judd right now . that said , the folks behind prophecy productions \u2014 who i have had nothing but fantastic dealings with \u2014 surely know exactly what they\u2019re getting into here . judd\u2019s past issues are even right out in the open in the very press release announcing the new deal . and for what it\u2019s worth , judd has so far made good on his word to make amends with fans he ripped off in the past : the band has played three shows without incident this year ( with another on the way ) , and even offered reimbursements to those who they scammed in the past .\ntheir goal is to enchant listeners not only by the music , but also by beautifully designed products . prophecy isn ' t restricted to just one specific style of music . on the label ' s roster , there is a wide range from dark metal via intense acoustic music to progressive and indie rock , not shying away from unconventional music of every stripe .\nv\u00f6lur opened day ii , and absolutely crushed it . if you wanted to stage an opera in your basement space , this is who you ' d call . the canadian drum , bass , and electric violin trio are all involved in other musical ventures\u2014blood ceremony , do make say think , solo jazz efforts\u2014and the genre agnosticism showed both in their prophecy debut ,\n\u201cany new album carries over some traits from its predecessor . but there\u2019s also a natural urge to go to new places that weren\u2019t previously explored\u201d moss considers . \u201cplus , before fear of a unique identity ( prophecy ) was recorded , the majority of fear\u2026 and judas\u2026 both existed in my head at the same time , so there\u2019s going to be some links between the two there .\n\u201cit was as if psychedelic , kraut and post rock had dusted off the face of irish folk when iron mountain first erupted on prophecy\u2019s premises , immediately captivating us with an atmosphere at once archaic and modern . welling up from a rocky core with pipes and drum , the ensemble\u2019s playful sound blends the emerald isle\u2019s lush musical legacy into instrumental songs that are , indeed , beyond words .\nwhile diversity characterized original disco music , at some point a formula surfaced for a particular \u201cdisco beat\u201d and \u201cdisco bassline\u201d that in turn became a self - fulfilling prophecy for disco as a musical genre . the poumtchak pattern was part of this formula and it promptly disappeared from most popular music production in the 1980s , probably as a casualty of its strong association to that stereotypical disco music of the late 1970s .\nthe akai mpc - 60 , released in 1988 , was a combined sequencer and digital sampler that became tremendously popular for hip - hop productions but also within the different genres of electronic dance music . it was succeeded by various models in the 1990s , including the mpc - 3000 ( 1994 ) and mpc - 2000 ( 1997 ) . the mpc line managed to compete with computer - based sequencers , which became the standard during the late 1980s and 1990s .\nprophecy ' s original contract with mick moss and his antimatter bandmate duncan patterson was signed ten years ago in spring 2002 and was the foundation of a fruitful collaboration spanning four albums \u2014\nsaviour\n( 2002 ) ,\nlights out\n( 2003 ) ,\nplanetary confinement\n( 2005 ) , and\nleaving eden\n( 2008 ) \u2014 as well as the comprehensive anniversary compilation\nalternative matter\n( 2010 ) .\nthe use of click tracks to keep a steady pulse became increasingly common during the 1970s , especially in disco productions , where a firm , constant beat was highly prized . the click track , along with disco\u2019s overdubbing techniques , was at the time denigrated as insincere or artificial by popular music authorities outside the genre . because the rock concert still represented the ideal for what was done in the studio , the techniques that best evoked live performance were more highly regarded , at least in some popular music circles .\nprophecy has also announced the release of the bands\u2019 vaunted back catalogue including the critically acclaimed releases eulogy iv ( 2004 ) , assassins : black meddle , part i ( 2008 ) , worldfall ( 2008 ) , doomsday derelicts ( 2009 ) , addicts : black meddle , part ii ( 2010 ) , silencing machine ( 2012 ) and the rare 7\u201d ep as made ( 2012 ) . the material from pre -

up v\u00f6lur\u2019s disir album , one that was initially released by the band in 2014 , then re - released by prophecy last year . the toronto - based trio demonstrated moments of intrigue on disir , however , it was a largely unbalanced , un -

depths , exploratory run through the furthest - flung corners of doom , cornered off and tightened by violins and folk instrumentation .\nnelson george juxtaposes these two variants of disco productions : \u201cat least the philly disco records sounded like they were made by humans . soon , eurodisco invaded america , initially from munich , and later from italy and france . it was music with a metronomelike beat \u2013 perfect for folks with no sense of rhythm \u2013 almost inflectionless vocals , and metallic sexuality that matched the high - tech , high - sex , and low passion atmosphere of the glamorous discos that appeared in every major american city . \u201d ( george 1988 : 154 ) . also see discussions about authenticity and music technology in frith 1986 , th\u00e9berge 1997 , chapter 7 , knakkergaard 2000 , and warner 2003 .\nratcliffe and buxton also formed an independent record label , atlantic jaxx records , and started producing their own material while working on remixes and productions for other artists . their releases got good reviews from several legendary djs within the scene , and for their first full album release in 1999 , they signed with the larger independent label xl recordings . ratcliffe and buxton have mostly kept in the background but have hired various vocalists , generally ethnic minorities , to serve as focal points for live performances . since their breakthrough in 1999 , they have released several more successful albums , played large stadium concerts , produced music videos , given interviews , and so on . this popstar status has somewhat hobbled their position within club culture .\nif you are already our customer , please log in using your e -

of associated costs that go with it . you need to tax your car , fill your car with fuel , pay for servicing , pay for repairs and also insure your car . you may think that\u2019s an expense you can do without .\nyou could say that you\u2019re a safe driver and won\u2019t have any crashes . maybe you think that because your car is in the garage every night it won\u2019t be stolen . you may even think that your car is an old banger so it\u2019s not worth insuring and you\u2019ll dispose of it should it get damaged . in any of these situations you could think that it\u2019d be a good idea not to buy insurance and therefore save some money . you\u2019d be completely wrong to think that .\nit is an offence to drive a car in a public place or on public roads in the uk without having insurance . under the road traffic act 1988 you are required to be insured for your liabilities while driving a motor vehicle . this means that at the very least you need third party insurance to protect other drivers and their vehicles if they have a collision with you and you\u2019re to blame .\nif you are found to be driving a car without car insurance the police can deal with you at the side of the road by giving you a \u00a3300 fine ( this has recently increased from \u00a3200 ) and giving you 6 penalty points on your drivers license . if they decide not to deal with it immediately and send you to court then the court can impose a much heftier fine and up to 8 penalty points on your license ( if you receive 12 points within a year you\u2019ll usually lose your license ) .\nthe police also have the power to seize your car and in some cases have it crushed . this is often used as a deterrent for others not to drive uninsured . so legally it\u2019s a must to take out a car insurance policy , but what other reasons are there ?\ncar insurance gives you peace of mind . when you buy a car it is often a big outlay and most people wouldn\u2019t have the funds to replace their car if it was written off due to a bad collision .\ncar insurance also protects you and other people involved if there are any injuries due to a crash that was your fault . if you caused someone to get injured by crashing into them without insurance and they bought a civil case against you then you could end up with a legal bill of tens of thousands of pounds to deal with . your car insurance will usually cover this depending on the level of insurance you buy .\nthis covers the other vehicle involved in an accident with you and any people in their car . your car is not covered at all and neither are you .\nthis is the same as third party but extra protection is given if your car is involved in a fire or is stolen .\nthis covers everyone and every vehicle involved in a collision with your car . so any repairm costs for your car are also paid for by your insurer .\nyou will need to tell your car insurer how you\u2019re going to use your car . is it just for general driving , will you drive it to work and will you do any business mileage in it . as with all insurance applications you should be honest in how you answer this question as if you have an accident while driving to work but didn\u2019t specify that in your application you will probably have your policy declared null and void .\nthere are some optional extras available for insurance policies such as breakdown cover , a courtesy car and legal protection . check when you buy your insurance for full details and the price you\u2019ll pay for these .\nwhen you take out insurance for your car then you can cover other people to drive your car as well such as your partner or children . this means that you can share your car with others while knowing they are covered if anything happens to them or your car .\nusually car insurance claims are for car accidents involving two or more cars but your policy will also cover any pedestrians that may get caught up in an accident and their property too .\nwhile seeming like a lot of money to pay out each year , especially if you never make a car accident claim , car insurance is well worth it if you do have an accident .\naverage costs of claims can run into tens of thousands of pounds even for minor collisions especially if personal injury is involved . a single injury claim for a car accident can run up to thousands of pounds in compensation .\npersonal injury claims are one reason why car insurance has risen in the uk over the past 10 years . there are criminals exploiting the fact that if you hit the back of another car then insurers will almost always hold you liable for the crash .\nthe number of \u2018 crash for cash \u2018 claims has increased where the criminal pulls out or brakes suddenly , usually at low speed , and then makes a claim for whiplash , and they sometimes make claims for people who weren\u2019t even in the car . fraud investigations have increased for this type of insurance crime but due to the number of payouts already made the cost for car insurance for most people has increased .\nanother good reason for taking out car insurance is that you may be one of the unlucky people who has to claim on their own insurance because the person who crashed into you isn\u2019t insured . this is a pain but compared to what you\u2019d have to pay out without insurance it\u2019s a small price to pay .\nsome insurers are now offering protection of your no claims bonus if you do have to claim because another driver was uninsured . check your policy for details of this type of claim .\nwe ' ve detected that javascript is

management issues .\nfigure 5 - 1 is a flow diagram of the information provided in this chapter . when biomonitoring data become available , one must determine the\ninterpretive options for evaluating them . the options include descriptive approaches that involve comparisons among biomonitoring datasets and risk - based approaches that describe the degree of risk associated with a given biomonitoring result . throughout this chapter and in appendix b , case studies are used to illustrate the applications of biomonitoring data to understanding of risk . the case studies are intended solely as illustrations and are not judgments about the data or risks associated with the chemicals discussed .\ninterpreting biomonitoring results depends on the availability of various types of information , including data on exposure , toxicity , and toxicokinetics . if toxicity information is unavailable , the results cannot be put into a risk\ncontext . if exposure information is unavailable , it may not be possible to determine where and how the exposures that produced the measured biomarker concentrations occurred . however , the starting point for interpreting biomonitoring data is an assessment of the quality of the biomonitoring data . if they are of low quality , there is little point in considering whether exposure or toxicity information is available . but high - quality biomonitoring data may be applied to a variety of interpretive options , as outlined below . chapter 4 reviews the considerations relevant to the design of biomonitoring studies to ensure scientific quality and integrity .\ntwo main options for interpreting biomonitoring results\u2014descriptive and risk - based approaches\u2014appear in figure 5 - 1 . this figure is organized from simplest to most complex approaches , with the potential for interpreting health risks also increasing from top to bottom . the expectation is that the quicker , descriptive approaches would be used first and then , depending on the level of concern and data availability , risk - based approaches would be used . the final interpretation of biomonitoring data would probably have elements of both .\nanother descriptive approach characterizes a chemical\u2019s use pattern in society at large . the information is used to interpret biomonitoring data in terms of how long the chemical may have been detected in bodily fluids and whether its concentration may be going up or down with changing use . it is not uncommon for the public to consider a new biomarker as evidence of new exposure . but it is possible that exposure has been going on for de -\ncades and the biomarker became available only recently . because new or increasing exposure generally prompts greater concern , the context is important . this question is best answered by analysis of biomonitoring results that span several years of sample collection . however , if biomonitoring results are available only for a single sampling round , temporal trends cannot be known . in such a case , historical data on chemical production rates and trends may be useful ( if they are available ) .\nthe most data - intensive approaches are those which evaluate the risk associated with a biomonitoring result . evaluation of risk may be a desirable outcome , given the importance of the \u201chow risky is this blood concentration\u201d question and the fact that the descriptive approaches only provide relative information and do not assess risk . figure 5 - 2 illustrates the various risk - based options discussed in the report .\nments . those assessments characterize human exposure with a pathways analysis , accounting for concentrations in air , food , water , and soil to estimate human dose in milligrams per kilogram per day . the dose is then used to calculate risk on the basis of reference doses or cancer slope factors ( see figure 5 - 2b ) . using existing risk assessments for interpreting biomonitoring data can help to put biomonitoring results into a broad risk\ncontext that makes maximal use of the underlying exposure and toxicology data but falls short of actually calculating risk .\nanother option attempts to convert biomonitoring results into a form that is directly useful for risk assessment . the chapter describes both the human pharmacokinetic ( pk ) modeling used to relate internal concentration to dose and the development of exposure - response relationships in animal studies that use biomarker concentrations rather than applied dose ( see figure 5 - 2c ) . finally , the chapter describes how biomonitoring studies can augment and help to interpret traditional risk assessments .\nmany communication challenges stem from collection , interpretation , and reporting of biomonitoring results . this chapter indicates where communication issues arise in relation to the interpretation of biomonitoring results ; these issues are explored more fully in chapter 6 .\nwhen data gaps are filled , there may be disagreement about how to apply the data for interpreting biomonitoring results . for example , the biomarker\u2013toxicity relationship for methylmercury has been controversial because of the differences in results among major epidemiology studies ( appendix b ) . although a national consensus has emerged after the national research council review of methylmercury ( nrc 2000 ) , there may not be an opportunity for such a comprehensive analysis of other biomarkers as data gaps are addressed and risk assessors use existing data .\nthe case studies in this chapter and in appendix b are presented to illustrate particular points and are not intended to be exhaustive in their review or analysis of a chemical .\nabbreviations : pbde = polybrominated diphenyl ether ; tce = trichloroethylene ; pfoa = perfluorooctanoic acid ; tcp = trichloro - 2 - pyridinol .\nbiomonitoring results can be interpreted at different levels of complexity ( figure 5 - 1 ) . the reference - range approach represents the least complex level . it is only descriptive , offering a statistical presentation of data ( tables 5 - 2 and 5 - 3 ) for comparison with data from other populations or individuals but with no conclusions about risk potential . however , this approach is often the first stage in the more complex risk - related analyses discussed in the remainder of the chapter .\nin the reference - range approach , reference ranges ( or intervals ) , 1 are established , and biomonitoring values from individuals or subgroups are compared with them . the validity and utility of biomonitoring values for use as reference ranges depends on study design and data quality , with special attention to the availability and comparability of data on the reference population in relation to the study population .\nthe overview below focuses on two fundamental elements of the reference - range approach : establishing a reference range and interpreting biomonitoring data in comparison with it . the remainder of this section details methods , principles , and issues related to data quality and reference - population selection and comments on regulatory uses of this approach and related cautions .\nthe cdc sampling plan follows a \u201ccomplex , stratified , multistage , probability cluster design to select a representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the united states . \u201d relevant details are\npoulsen et al . ( 1994 ) appear to use the term reference interval as synonymous with reference range . in a paper titled \u201ctrace element reference values \u2026 , \u201d the authors emphasize that \u201cknowledge of the reference intervals ( baseline data ) for the trace elements in human body fluids and tissues is of paramount importance . \u201d\na lod = limit of detection , which may vary for some chemicals by year and by individual sample .\nb not calculated . proportion of results below limit of detection was too high to provide valid result .\nas shown in tables 5 - 2 and 5 - 3 , the data on each group include survey period , geometric mean , population sample size , and the biomarker concentration at the 50th , 75th , 90th , and 95th percentiles of the population distribution .\na not calculated . proportion of results below limit of detection was too high to provide valid result .\npared with that in a reference population . that approach depends on a suitable reference population and a body of biomonitoring data collected in comparable fashion that can serve as a reference range . ( for discussion of an appropriate comparison population , see chapter 4 . )\nfigure 5 - 3 illustrates the distribution of biomarker concentrations in a generic reference population , expressed as cumulative frequency . as is commonly done in a clinical test , the 95th percentile of the distribution can be used to determine the upper limit value of this test result . however , a different percentile may be chosen , depending on the circumstances , the characteristics of the reference population , the distribution of the results , and the intended purpose of the study . it is important to be aware that a particular cut point does not represent a bright line that automatically separates the population into typical vs highly exposed , or no risk vs high risk ( when , for example , beis or risk - based targets are used ) . rather , it is a guideline to point out where in the population distribution exposures may require more detailed analysis of sources and health risks .\nfigure 5 - 3 distribution of biomarker concentrations in generic reference population . ulv is the upper limit value .\nfinally , if the 95th percentile is highly unstable or uncertain because of high variability ( for example , if the distribution has a long tail ) , a more stable percentile would be preferable .\npertinent to the above comparisons is the assumption that the data are from a single study that used a uniform sampling design and method , which initially treated the sampled group as a single population . however , biomonitoring can also study subgroups suspected of having unique exposures\u2014for example , because they lived next to a potential source\u2014in a cross - sectional design . those results can be informative when compared with the reference range and can help to answer the question of whether a\na recent report illustrates the utility of the reference - range approach . in a study designed to collect descriptive information on urinary concentrations of organophosphorus ( op ) metabolite during and soon after pregnancy , bradman et al . ( 2005 ) collected samples from 600 pregnant low - income women living in california\u2019s salinas valley . some 28 % were employed as farm field workers during pregnancy . for 81 % of these women , at least one member of their household worked in agriculture .\nsuspected contaminant source is , in fact , leading to increased exposures and body burden . box 5 - 1 presents a case example of the utility and limitations of reference ranges .\nideally , reference ranges consist of biomonitoring values developed according to scientifically rigorous study design and quality - control procedures ( see chapter 4 ) . the utility of reference ranges depends on attention to reference populations and data quality .\nthe reference - range approach depends on data availability and data comparability for both the reference and test populations . ideally , the two populations are comparable in age , race or ethnicity , sex , and other demographic factors and were analyzed for the same end point in the same tissues or fluids ( see introduction to this chapter and chapter 4 ) .\ninterpreting biomonitoring data from individuals or groups depends on the characteristics of the reference group ( viau et al . 2000 ) . the importance of comparability cannot be overstated . for example , comparative data on\nfigure 5 - 4 cumulative frequency distribution of the urinary excretion of 1 - hydroxypyrene in people living in two rural districts of burundi ( \u25b2 ) , in bujumbura ( \u2022 ) and in a reference group at the university of montreal ( \u25a0 ) . source : viau et al . 2000 . reprinted with permission ; copyright 2000 , international archives of occupational and environmental health .\nurban residents between continents ( bujumbura vs north american populations ) . in other words , the reference group must always be selected on the basis of the study\u2019s objectives and a priori knowledge of exposure of the reference group .\nas another example , if biomonitoring results on people who live near a contamination source ( proximity subgroup ) are being evaluated , these results can be lumped in with those on the remainder of the population to create an overall distribution . however , the contribution of the group may shift the distribution , and unless there are large exposure differences ( as in a bimodal distribution ) , it may be difficult to distinguish the proximity group from the rest of the population . keeping the proximity group separate would allow more direct comparisons with the reference population and more relevant interpretation of study results .\nideally , reference ranges are developed from biomonitoring data that conform to the study design and to data - quality considerations ( see chapter 4 ) . for example , valid comparisons depend on comparable sampling methods for collecting data from reference and test populations . similarly , comparisons are meaningful only if comparable statistical methods are applied in analyzing and reporting the data .\nit is important to note that short half - life chemicals do have the potential to be useful biomarkers for establishing the reference range if exposure is fairly frequent at about the same concentrations . in this case , rapid clearance can be balanced by frequent exposure to yield a stable blood or urinary concentration . biomonitoring examples with cotinine and phthalates , as described in chapter 4 , illustrate this point .\nappropriate reference populations are not always available . for example , recruiting children , especially newborns and infants , is difficult . when it is possible , the samples are usually small ( european commission 2004 ) .\nreference - range information permits officials to compare exposures in specific geographic or demographic groups with those in the general ( reference ) population . the reference range may be chosen at a fixed time to facilitate evaluation of temporal trends and the effects of regulatory interventions . because , a reference range can be critical in deciding whether public - health action is warranted ( box 5 - 2 ) or in evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory initiatives , informed attention to the construction of statistically valid and representative reference ranges is imperative ( gao 2000 ) .\nin one community where citizens were concerned about exposure to dioxins from nearby chemical manufacturing plants , agency for toxic substance and disease registry ( atsdr ) officials had cdc\u2019s laboratory analyze blood samples and found that some residents had concentrations of several dioxins above the highest in a cdc - atsdr - developed reference range . in response , atsdr helped residents to obtain assistance from medical professionals expert in dioxins and , working with state and federal environmental agencies , began environmental testing to locate exposure sources ( gao 2000 ) .\nutility of biomonitoring data . over 60 % of state officials responding to a general accounting office ( now government accountability office ) survey said that the lack of reference - range data prevented them from using human exposure data in their work ( gao 2000 ) . that situation can arise when datasets are biased in some way , background exposures in the control population are not well characterized , or other sampling requirements are not fully met .\nas part of nhanes iii , a subsample of about 1 , 000 people provided blood and urine to determine reference ranges for 32 volatile organic compounds ( blood ) and 12 pesticides ( urine ) . demographic subgroups were defined by urban - rural status , region of the country , age , sex , race or ethnicity , and so on . the urinary measurements included metabolites of pesticides , such as carbaryl , naphthlalene , propoxur , carbofuran , parathion , and chlorpyriphos ( pirkle et al . 1995 ) . the datasets demonstrate the feasibility of developing reference ranges for emerging analytes .\nin sampling design and overall methodology between reference and subpopulation datasets are especially relevant .\nas stated at the outset , reference ranges do not provide conclusions on safety or risk . presenting that fact and other limitations is an essential aspect of communicating reference - range information to individuals , the general public , and organizational decision - makers\u2014a topic developed more fully in chapter 6 .\nthe use of reference ranges has been considered as a way to compare the exposure in an individual or group against a reference group , generally taken to mean a random sample of the general population . another type of comparison group is workers , who represent a convenient point of reference because a number of biologic reference values have been established for this population ; these values are biomonitoring criteria , typically blood or urinary concentrations , that if exceeded indicate worker overexposure to an occupational toxicant .\nthe frequently cited sources of biomarker reference values include acgih ( 2005 ) , the deutsche forschungsgemeinschaft ( dfg ) ( dfg 2004 ) , and lauwerys and hoet ( 2001 ) . in the acgih sourcebook on tlvs and beis ( acgih 2005 ) , beis were proposed for 42 substances or groups of substances ( such as methemoglobin inducers ) . because a number of the substances have more than one determinant ( biomarker ) , a total of 71 determinants were reported .\na nhanes results for mercury are for women 16 - 49 years old . beis for mercury apply only to exposure to inorganic forms , whereas main population exposure is usually to organic forms .\nthe committee cannot make a generic recommendation on applying occupational limit values to the general population . specifically , acgih explicitly states that \u201cthe values are inappropriate to use for the general population or for nonoccupational exposures\u201d ( acgih 2003 ) . similarly , dfg indicates that \u201cbat values are not suitable for the derivation , by means of fixed conversion factors , of biological threshold values for long - term nonoccupational exposure such as from air pollution or contaminants in food\u201d ( dfg 2004 ) .\nthus , although it may be tempting to lower a bei by time - weighting and uncertainty factors that extrapolate from workers to the general public , the factors listed below must be carefully considered , and such extrapolations should be used with caution . they may be appropriate in specific situations .\nin the occupational setting , inhalation is the main route of entry of numerous chemical substances . for some solvents ( such as dimethylformamide ) , dermal exposure may also be a major route of entry . ingestion usually comes last , although poor hygiene in the workplace may result in substantial exposure to aerosolized or particulate contaminants by this route . in comparison , ingestion is often the principal exposure pathway for the general population . assuming that an objective is to protect the general population from the same systemic toxic effects as workers , the importance of potentially different routes of entry must be examined . for example , the liver first - pass effect on ingested substances might alter the proportion of metabolites formed from a parent chemical . the pharmacokinetics of a biomarker may also be modified by different rates of absorption after exposure by various routes .\nthe workplace airborne concentration of a substance and the biomarker concentration in exposed workers typically vary as illustrated in figure 5 - 5 . although such relationships aid in interpreting occupational biomonitoring data on a group basis , the effect of such variability ( see chapter 4 ) must be considered , as must the shape of the dose\u2013biomarker concentration relationship at the low - dose end of the correlation . the dispersion of data points around the regression line may be due to biologic variability and partial inadequacy of air - concentration measurements for inferring actual exposure\nfigure 5 - 5 daily average workplace xylene air and urinary methylhippuric acid ( mha ) in exposed workers . source : jang et al . 2001 . reprinted with permission ; copyright 2001 , international archives of occupational and environmental health .\n( viau 2005 ) . indeed , such factors as varying ventilation rates associated with varying workloads and dermal exposure are unaccounted for by the air measurement ; this might make the biomarker a better metric of the actual exposure than the air - concentration measurement of the parent chemical .\nfurthermore , whereas biologic limit values are set for workers exposed 8 hours / day , 5 days / week for a working lifetime , the potential exposure of the general population is generally assumed to be 24 hours / day , 7 days / week for an entire lifetime . acgih ( 2003 ) addresses that point as follows :\n\u201calthough modified work schedules are sometimes used in various occupations , acgih does not recommend that any adjustment or correction factor be applied to the beis ( i . e . , the beis should be used as listed , regardless of the work schedule ) . \u201d\none of the main advantages of using occupational limit values to derive reference points for the general population is that the former apply to humans , although animal data are sometimes used in their derivation . one might therefore consider that occupational limit values alleviate the need for interspecies extrapolations . the other advantage is that the values have been used for preventing work - related diseases for years and so offer some degree of validation of the reference values .\nsome of the limitations presented above can be given appropriate consideration in setting a reference value for the general population . for example , biomarkers with long half - lives are less prone to limitations in sampling time and are also probably reasonably related to cumulative exposure . in such cases , it might be tempting to apply a correction factor of 4\nor be used in developing a pk model . those approaches , particularly the latter , can be useful in interpreting population biomonitoring data .\nalthough biomonitoring data constitute a key body of knowledge about the distribution of exposure , relatively few risk assessments have been based on biomarker - response relationships established in epidemiologic studies ( who 2001 ) . in a recent informal survey of leading risk - assessment prac -\nfigure 5 - 6 evolution of risk assessment and risk management . framework showing research , risk assessment , and risk management . source : omenn 2003 . reprinted with permission ; copyright 2003 , human and ecological risk assessment .\nanother advantage of the use of lead and mercury biomarkers is that exposure to both chemicals is more readily quantified through measurement of the biomarkers than through collection of questionnaire data or environmental measures ( who 2001 ) . in addition , both compounds have relatively long half - lives and therefore provide relatively stable metrics that integrate dose over long exposure periods . the lead example , which follows , details the development and utility of this blood biomarker . similar information on mercury is presented in appendix b .\nhowever , more recent epidemiologic investigations suggest that there may not be a threshold for the adverse neurodevelopmental effects of lead in children and that the dose - response curve may in fact be steeper at blood lead concentrations less than 10 \u00b5g / dl , than at higher concentrations ( lanphear 2005 ; bellinger and needleman 2003 ; canfield et al . 2003 ) . in 2005 , cdc concluded that \u201csince no safe blood lead level in children has been identified , emphasis should be placed on efforts to control or eliminate lead in children\u2019s environment before children are exposed\u201d ( cdc 2005 ) .\none can compare the biomarker - based risk derived for lead with population - based biomonitoring results . data from nhanes 2000 - 2001 can be used to estimate the number of children in the united states who have increased blood lead ( cdc 2005 ) . blood lead in u . s . children declined dramatically after the removal of lead from gasoline\u2014from a median of 15 \u00b5g / dl in 1978 to 2 \u00b5g / dl in 1999 ( rogan and ware 2003 ) . nonetheless , an estimated 1 . 6 % of u . s . children 1 - 5 years old had blood lead greater than 10 \u00b5g / dl in 1999 - 2002 , according to nhanes data ( cdc 2005 ) . the major exposure sources of lead for u . s . children are deterioration of lead - based paint and the resulting dust and soil contamination ( cdc 2005 ) .\nof scenarios that involve high - end exposures and susceptible populations ( such as young children ) to point out whether particular groups are important to include in biomonitoring studies .\nappendix b provides brief case studies of two pesticides , glyphosate and permethrin , for which a pre - existing risk assessment can help to put biomonitoring results into perspective . in both cases , the environmental protection agency ( epa ) has evaluated risks for a wide array of exposure scenarios as part of the reregistration process , and there are biomonitoring data whose interpretation could benefit from these risk assessments .\nbiomonitoring - led risk assessment is needed when the biomonitoring and toxicology databases are robust but epidemiologic data are not adequate to establish the biomarker - response relationship and there are few exposure data . in such cases , biomonitoring results may raise important health questions that cannot be answered without knowing more about exposure . there are three main options for converting biomonitoring data into a format that can be used as exposure information in risk assessments :\nuse human pk modeling ( box 5 - 4 ) to convert the biomonitoring data into a human - exposure dose that can be related to an rfd , cancer potency value , or other toxicity value .\nuse animal pk modeling to convert the dose - response relationship seen in toxicity studies ( applied dose ) to a dose - response relationship based on internal dose , using a dose metric derived from human biomonitoring data . this approach fosters the development of a biomarker - response relationship and biomarker - based toxicity values .\ncollect sufficient biomarker data in animals to express the dose - response relationship in key toxicology studies in terms of a biomarker - response relationship , in addition to an applied dose - response relationship .\npbpk models rely on a series of simultaneous differential equations that simulate chemical delivery to tissues via the arterial circulation and removal via the venous circulation . the models are run in time steps such that the entire course of chemical disposition can be presented for calculation of the area -

half - life chemicals that do not approach steady state .\neven though chemicals with long half - lives and high storage in lipid tend to have stable concentrations , they may not be at steady state . for example , dioxin body burdens apparently increased in the early part of the 20th century and then declined over the last 2 decades . that pattern repre -\nfigure 5 -

compartment modeling as described above , but the exposure dose is varied to match the temporal trends in the biomonitoring data ( pinsky and lorber 1998 ) . the dose profile that best matches the biomonitoring data can then be used for risk assessment .\nchemicals that are not highly lipid - soluble and that have relatively short half - lives ( hours to days ) do not build up a stable long - term reservoir . however , a pseudosteady state can be attained if exposure is nearly uniform and constant ( figure 5 - 8 ) . pseudosteady state refers to the case in which blood or tissue concentrations are changing and therefore are not completely stable . these blood or tissue concentrations fluctuate slightly and in a regular pattern around the average concentration .\nif that is the case , blood concentrations may be relatively stable , and there is a potential to convert biomonitoring results into exposure estimates in a manner analogous to that described above for tcdd . the difference is that starting from a blood or serum concentration , one needs the volume of distribution ( vd ) to estimate the total amount in the body . the general framework is as shown in figure 5 - 9 .\nfigure 5 - 8 blood concentrations of rapidly cleared chemical to which there is frequent and nearly uniform exposure . highlighted line ( \u2248\u2014\u2248 ) is mean blood concentration . under these exposure conditions , biomarker concentration will be within a factor of 2 of mean after first several hours . simplifying assumption of pseudosteady state ( mean concentration is approximated by concentration found at any sampling time ) may suffice for estimating exposure dose from blood concentration under these circumstances .\nfigure 5 - 9 conversion of biomonitoring data to daily dose on basis of one - compartment model for non - lipid - soluble chemicals at steady state .\nderivation of vd relies on the ratio of dose and blood concentration immediately after intravenous administration . two - compartment models involve more complex calculations to estimate vd at steady state that reflect the transport of chemical between compartments as well as out of the body .\nin summary , conversion of biomonitoring data to exposure dose requires knowledge of chemical elimination rate and vd and requires that conditions be approximately pseudosteady state . it may be useful to estimate dose from body burden ; however , this cannot be used to interpret an individual\u2019s biomonitoring result , because the elimination rate and vd would not be known . reasonable bounds on elimination rate and vd could be used to calculate an upper end of daily dose that is still compatible with the biomonitoring results ( for example , when both vd and elimination rate are high ) ."]}

( 62 )\nulverston was recorded in the domesday book of 1086 as ulvrestun , deriving from an old norse family name \u00falfarr meaning \u2018wolf warrior\u2019 and tun meaning \u2018farm\u2019 or \u2018homestead\u2019 . this gives rise to the presence of a wolf on the town\u2019s coat of arms . other variations of the name recorded throughout history include oluestonam ( 1127 ) , and uluereston ( 1189 ) . much of cumbria , being in the hands of the scots at this time , is not mentioned in the doomsday book . at that time ulverston was in the county of lancashire , only becoming part of cumbria as late as 1974 .\nthis is not something that just happens overseas or somewhere else , or something that we can turn a blind eye to in canada . there are many instances of this in canada . january marie lapuz of new westminster , b . c . is just one of the examples of transgendered violence that we have come to know in canada . january was a 26 year old who was considered an involved local activist , and whom people in her community called a bright light and a shining star . she was murdered in 2012 . stories like this are all too common for those in the transgendered community .\nthe court has also maintained its focus in post - law decisions on the significance of the \u201ccomparator group\u201d in section 15 analysis . ( 22 ) it returned to the matter most fully in hodge v . canada ( minister of human resources development ) . ( 23 ) here the court observed that because section 15 analysis proceeds throughout on a comparative basis , the choice of comparator group is an ongoing issue in every case and initial misidentification \u201ccan doom the outcome\u201d of the section 15 examination . hodge reaffirmed the judiciary\u2019s role in scrutinizing the claimant\u2019s choice of comparator , and its duty \u201cto step in and measure the claim to equality rights in the proper context and against the proper standard\u201d when a claimant\u2019s choice is mistaken . ( 24 ) the court\u2019s rather complex discussion of the comparator group issue asserts that \u201c [ t ] he appropriate comparator group is the one which mirrors the characteristics of the claimant \u2026 relevant to the benefit or advantage sought except that the statutory definition includes a personal characteristic that is offensive to the charter or omits a personal characteristic in a way that is offensive to the charter . \u201d ( 25 )\nit is also worth stressing that in some instances , a charter violation need not be subjected to any section 1 \u201ctest . \u201d for example , in little sisters book and art emporium v . canada ( minister of justice ) , ( 63 ) the court found that the section 15 violation was a consequence of customs officials\u2019 implementation of their governing legislation rather than the legislation itself . that is , the infringement occurred at the administrative level and was not a \u201climitation prescribed by law\u201d within the meaning of section 1 . therefore , it could not be justified .\nthe court reiterated the importance of looking \u201cnot only at the impugned legislation which has created a distinction that violates the right to equality but also to the larger social , political and legal context . \u201d in this light , a finding of discrimination under section 15 of the charter will , in most cases , entail a search for \u201cdisadvantage that exists apart from and independent of the particular legal distinction being challenged . \u201d the criterion of general disadvantage in addition to the particular prejudicial distinction under challenge did not go uncriticized , but generally remained a key consideration for section 15 claims .\nfor me and millions of other canadians who acknowledge the supremacy of god , as the first words of our charter affirm , there is the reality that our faith journey is the foundation of our world view . freedom of religion is a fundamental right , and so it is of paramount importance that bill c - 16 would not infringe upon that fundamental freedom . today we are debating at third reading a bill that proposes some very fundamental changes to definitions and principles of society . the imposition of a fundamental values system change of this magnitude must be given complete due process here in parliament .\ni ask this again . will parents continue to have their right to teach their children in accordance with their deeply held faith beliefs or will they be subjected to accusations of hate speech for simply living out tried and true principles which are informed by their belief in the supremacy of god , as affirmed in our charter of rights and freedoms ? will faith leaders who teach their congregations to follow the principles clearly laid out in god ' s word also be subjected to accusations of hate speech , or will they be free to continue to practise with freedom as the un declaration of human rights declares ?\nin 1632 , king charles i of england granted a charter to george calvert , the first lord baltimore , yielding him proprietary rights to a region east of the potomac river in exchange for a share of the income derived from the land . the territory was named maryland in honor of henrietta maria , the queen consort of charles i . before settlement began , george calvert died and was succeeded by his son cecilius , who sought to establish maryland as a haven for roman catholics persecuted in england . in march 1634 , the first english settlers\u2013a carefully selected group of catholics and protestants\u2013arrived at st . clement\u2019s island aboard the ark and the dove .\nthe case involved an appeal of a ruling against a claim of age - based discrimination arising because canada pension plan survivor benefits are denied to able - bodied surviving spouses under the age of 35 who are without dependent children . ( 17 ) in dismissing the appeal , the court consolidated and refined previously stated principles concerning the purpose of and approach to section 15 , with a view to providing guidelines for lower courts\u2019 future evaluation of discrimination claims under the charter . these guidelines , it was stressed , are to serve as points of reference rather than a fixed formula , so as not to detract from the strong remedial purpose of the equality rights provision .\nthe tastes are nicely combined with the rye coming through again . i ' m suprised that i get so much rye aroma and flavor , given that this is made with a fairly small amount of rye used in the mashbill , 6 % i believe . i also note honey and orange flavors . the mouthfeel is a very creamy texture . the finish is very smooth , and medium in length . there ' s still a honey / citrus taste that lingers , as well as leather . a suprise for me is that at 13 years old , i would have expected more cask influence to the taste . the oak aroma is there , but to a fairly small degree . the wood contributes to the taste , but is not dominant . there are flavors of fruit , creamy butter , vanilla ."]}

end bicycles and to attempt to cheapen the line beyond its already inferior status . they couldn ' t possibly compete with foreign imports which were shipping with better quality components at the same or lower cost . becoming an importer was not the answer either . one low - quality import is much like the next . if you try to compete in this market , your product will get lost in a sea of sameness .\ni can tell by looking at it ,\nross said .\nthere are certain manufacturing things that are unique . if i had a serial number , i could tell when it was made .\nthe valley plant started producing ammunition boxes for the u . s . government , but ross filed for bankruptcy in 1988 , according to zoltan l . apatoczky of allentown , former general manager of the plant .\nross , 86 , now lives in the miami area and provides expert testimony in product liability cases . he said he is not bothered that one of his creations might be tied to such a notorious crime .\nchainbike , welcome to the forum ! i have a ross bike that my daughter rides . i think it is mid 80 ' s but i ' m not sure . it is a very nice ride .\nthere are some obvious similarities between the appearance and sound of the mark ross and the mark boss . both marks end in\noss\n. defendant ' s mark is followed by the word\ncruiser\n, which is generic in the context of bicycles . although the marks ultimately must be considered as a whole , the focus of the inquiry regarding appearance and sound and meaning is on the non -

manor was created within it at an early date , held , not direct from the crown , but from the lord of the main manor . in the twelfth century a de caux made a grant of land to one richard , of laxton or lexington , in return for certain services . this grant was added to by his successors , the de birkins and de everinghams , and in 1232 these grants were all set out clearly in a royal charter , which confirmed them to richard de lexington ' s son , robert , and his heirs . this charter is very interesting , as the lands are described in great detail , and some of them can be identified to - day , as their names , such as eastkirk , southlound , crouchwell , & c , still remain .\nonce more the property passed in the female line , sir thomas rempston leaving three daughters , elizabeth , wife of john cheyne , isabel , wife of sir brian stapledon , and margaret , wife of richard bingham . elizabeth cheyne had the laxton part of sir thomas ' s property , and in 1515 it passed to her granddaughter , another elizabeth cheyne , who married the son of lord vaux of harrowden . some time in the sixteenth century lord vaux sold the laxton property to sir thomas broughton , who had married mary roos , sister of peter roos , the lord of the chief manor . when his son , gilbert roos , sold the manor to the marquis of buckingham , he reserved about 100 acres for his cousin mr . peter broughton . these lands remained with the broughton family until the eighteenth century , when they were bought by the earl of scarborough , of rufford . in 1867 earl manvers acquired the property , in exchange for land in the parish of eakring .\nrichard de lexington had a very remarkable family , and his sub - manor at laxton passed , in turn , to three of his sons , each famous in his own sphere . the eldest , robert de lexington , was a prebendary of southwell and a judge under king henry iii . in 1240 he was the chief justice itinerant for the northern division of england . the second brother , john , was a clerk in the chancery and also a judge . he was keeper of the great seal during vacancies in the office of chancellor , and he was sent on several missions abroad by the king : in 1241 to the emperor frederick ii , and in 1250 to arrange a truce with france . in 1255 he was chief justice of the forests north of the trent , and tried , at lincoln , the jewish murderers of the boy , hugh of lincoln . he founded a chantry in the church at laxton , dedicated to st . mary and st . thomas the martyr .\nwhilst most apple varieties are not self - fertile ( they cannot pollinate themselves and need a nearby apple tree of a different variety to set fruit ) it is interesting that there is a streak of self - fertility running through cox ' s orange pippin and its offspring , and laxton ' s fortune is partially self - fertile . this means it will probably set light crops even if there is no pollination partner nearby - but cropping will be better with another variety to cross - pollinate the blossom .\nlaxton ' s superb is a reasonably strong growing tree and it produces a large crop of apples . in common with epicure , it can miss cropping on the occasional year especially as the tree ages . the solution to this is to be vigilant and thin the fruit out on those years when it over - produces . this is a self fertile variety although it will crop better when a good pollinator is nearby . click here to go to the bottom of this page and see a list of suitable pollinators .\nthomas was born 1830 in tinwell , near stamford , lincolnshire . he began his work as a plant breeder in 1865 , interested mostly in peas and strawberries . he started his plant breeding in stamford , then later moved his operations to orchards and fields in bedford , bedfordshire and in nearby girtford in sandy , bedfordshire . he consulted with charles darwin on pea - breeding experiments . laxton was , in fact , close to the genetic discoveries that gregor johann mendel ( 20 july 1822 \u2013 6 january 1884 ) would make around the same time .\n\u201crecently mr . laxton has made numerous crosses , and everyone had been astonished at the vigour and luxuriance of the new varieties which he has thus raised and afterwards fixed by selection . he gave me seed - peas produced from crosses between four distinct kinds ; and the plants thus raised were extraordinarily vigorous , being in each case from 1 to 2 or even 3 feet taller than the parent - forms , which were raised at the same time close alongside . \u201d \u2014 charles darwin . the effects of cross and self - fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom . chapter v .\nthomas was one of the earliest nurserymen to use scientific methods in plant breeding . he selected parent plants from close observations of their most desirable characteristics rather than simply from well - known varieties as was common at that time . thomas laxtons trials and observations aided the work of charles darwin and were referred to in darwins published works . his aim was to improve the quality of plants , rather than make money and he believed that seed from all commercially produced plants should be saved . three generations of the laxton family and over 100 years of horticultural work raised at least 182 new varieties of plants .\n\u201cso , again , mr . laxton , who has had such great experience in crossing peas , writes to me that \u201cwhenever a cross has been effected between a white - blossomed and a purple - blossomed pea , or between a white - seeded and a purple - spotted , brown or maple - seeded pea , the offspring seems to lose nearly all the characteristics of the white - flowered and white - seeded varieties ; and this result follows whether these varieties have been used as the pollen - bearing or seed - producing parents . \u201d \u2014 charles darwin . the variation of animals and plants under domestication . volume ii . chapter 2 . xiv .\nin 1425 the laxton property passed to thomas de bekering ' s daughter alice , who had married sir thomas rempston , of bingham , notts . sir thomas was a soldier , who went to france in 1415 , under henry v , and was at the siege of harfleur and the battle of agincourt . he was with sir john fastolf at the battle of the herrings in 1429 , and was taken prisoner by the french under joan of arc , but a large ransom was arranged for him by the english parliament . after the defeat of the english and the end of the hundred years war , sir thomas returned to england , where he supported the yorkist cause at the beginning of the wars of the roses , and died in 1458 .\nmy neighbour has an apple that could be a laxton fortune but i have never eaten that particular apple to be able to comment . the tree was mature when i moved in 23 years ago so it is obviously an old variety . this apple is red with yellowish / green streaks travelling from top to bottom . the flesh is soft and an almost yellow colour ; the flavour is just devine - it has be likened to strawberries but i cannot see the connection . the flesh is not red but it has red\nflashes\n. when i first ate one i thought my gums were bleeding . i would dearly love to purchase one of these trees so if anyone knows of a grower in the uk that sells them i would appreciate it . failing the purchase of a tree i will try to graft a cutting onto existing apple stock but this is not my ideal solution . s e pearston\n( fn . 32 ) joane was married to sir william elys , who died at saint albans in his journey towards calis , and had a son by her called robert ; she after married john de waterton . catherin was wife of sir john etton , son of sir thomas , which sir john had several sons , miles , ivo , william , alexander ; but this manor descended to the four daughters & heirs of sir miles eton , who died before his father the said sir john , who held this manor of laxton , with the advowson of the church , and the manors of egmanton , and north leverton , by the courtesie of england , after the death of his wife the said katherin , till 11 h . 6 .

country , i remember one of the popular restaurants was called the crossroads in moira . i also remember there wasn\u2019t really much in the town to indicate that it had been quite a rail center . the ogdensburg and lake champlain railroad ran to rouses point and vermont . by 1901 it was the rutland rr .\n( dl & w ) . the first result of this was the abandonment of duplicate freight facilities in binghamton and elmira , new york . between 1956 and 1957 , the erie shifted its passenger trains from its former jersey city terminal to the dl & w ' s newer one in hoboken . also , the dl & w ' s

the road until the building of the chemung canal from elmira to watkins . the successful accomplishment of this project was regarded by the citizens of ithaca and owego as detrimental to the interests of their towns , and a movement was started by simeon de witt , then a resident of ithaca , and others to build the road . in march , 1832 , the capital stock was increased to $ 300 , 000 , and the road was opened in april , 1834 . in the following month the capital stock was increased to $ 450 , 000 , and in april , 1838 , the legislature authorized a loan to the company of $ 250 , 000 , taking

part series examining the impact of blockchain technology on supply chains .\nin part i , i examined how blockchains work , and the potential game - changing impact of this new technology on supply chains as a record - keeping , verification , tracking and transaction switching mechanism that makes it easier and safer for businesses to work together over the internet , says jan van rooyen , strategic solutions lead at resolve .\nevery time value changes hands , whether physical products , services or money , the transaction can be documented , creating a permanent history of the product or transaction , from source to ultimate destination .\nin october 2016 , walmart launched its food safety collaboration centre , in beijing , with the goal to improve the way food is tracked , transported and sold to consumers across china . it will harness ibm blockchain technology to generate transparency and efficiency in supply chain record - keeping .\nthe first food item to be tracked this way is pork . information such as farm origination details , batch numbers , factory and processing data , expiration dates , storage temperatures and shipping detail are digitally linked to the physical food items as it moves from source to destination .\nthe information captured during each transaction is validated by businesses within the network ( farms , transport companies , packaging companies , warehouses and stores ) forming a consensus . after each ' block ' ( record of each transaction ) is validated , it is added to a ' chain ' of transactions , becoming a permanent record of the entire process .\neach pork item received at store is verified as authentic , and its digital record could potentially reveal food safety issues picked up between farm and store . the digital record can also help walmart retailers better manage the shelf - life of products in individual stores .\nwhile pharmaceutical supply chains will benefit from blockchain in a similar fashion as the food supply chain , it is healthcare ' s services supply chain ( patients , healthcare workers , laboratories , dispensing points and pharmaceutical suppliers ) that stands to benefit more .\nthe bill and melinda gates foundation recently awarded a grant to factom , a blockchain technology firm , to fund the creation of an electronic health records system that provides immutability and security in an affordable manner .\nmedical records within developing countries are historically documented on paper and stored by clinics or hospitals . this poses a problem when people move or if the region is destabilised .\nfactom ' s blockchain network digitises , stores , and encrypt a patient ' s medical record in a decentralised manner . access to these records would not be dependent on a strong internet connection to a central server or database , since the data would be distributed across various nodes of the blockchain network .\nhealthcare service providers and patients can access and share documents such as vaccination records and hiv viral load measurements on their phones , to ensure they are providing the correct treatment to the right patient . biometric verification is used for an added layer of security .\npatient data is collected into a single ' hash ' and then added to the blockchain . with medical records , the hash would serve as a fingerprint of the data for time - stamping and verification purposes . patients ' health records secured like this do not contravene the privacy provisions of most privacy and information laws and acts .\nthis blockchain function allows for the de - identification of protected information by one - way conversion to hash values ( an encrypted string of data ) , safeguarding the content of sensitive records being revealed to third parties , and allowing the records themselves to remain at their original digital location .\nbarclays africa , bank of america and hsbc have similarly used blockchain trade platforms to facilitate the transfer of trade documents for their clients .\nthe pilot trade , in the process of being commercialised during 2017 , involved a letter of credit transaction between a diary distributor in seychelles and ornua ( formerly the irish dairy board ) , clients of barclays africa and barclays uk respectively . it used a blockchain technology platform to transfer the electronic bill of lading , with the payment made through the society for worldwide interbank financial telecommunication ( swift ) .\na blockchain application allows all stakeholders in the supply chain to send , receive and track an electronic bill of lading , as well as upload and send related trade documentation such as orders , invoices , permits and shipping instructions . the application is linked to a distributed ledger network which securely records and verifies the ownership and authenticity of the documents .\nthis solution eliminates many of the current inefficiencies in international trade - the global alliance for trade facilitation estimates that\n7 % of the global value of trade is absorbed by the cost of documents alone\n. it also reduces risks such as fraud , prevents forgeries of documents , and importantly it saves time by reducing system and process latency - typically trade documents take anywhere from two to 10 working days to be couriered from party to party . now it can be done electronically in minutes .\nautomotive company mahindra is experimenting with blockchain to run its invoice discounting business . invoice discounting is the process of bundling and selling unpaid bills at a slight discount and is a major source of working capital for suppliers who would otherwise need to wait a month or more to be paid .\nthe invoice discounting process would normally take as much as seven days to complete between mahindra and its supply chain finance partners . there are a number of manual interventions and often there are disputes because different systems ' records do not show the same information . within a blockchain network there is a ' single point of truth ' , which makes the pricing decision less risky and the administration process more efficient - now taking minutes instead of days .\nthe first public blockchain solution for the shipping industry was deployed by marine transport international ( mti ) , a uk and usa - based freight forwarder , using blockchain technology for sharing verified gross mass ( vgm ) information of shipping containers .\ncontracting governments to the international maritime organization ' s solas treaty ( international convention for the safety of life at sea ) are required to implement new requirements related to the vgm of packed containers . the new regulation puts the responsibility on the shipper to ensure that an accurate vgm is provided to the port terminal and ocean carrier for every container loaded prior to it being allowed to be shipped on - board on a vessel .\nknowledge about a container ' s vgm is important to make sure that vessels are stowed correctly in order to prevent accidents both at sea and in ports .\nvgm data is stored on a public blockchain , providing a permanent records visible to port officials , transport companies , shippers and cargo owners . this replaces cumbersome logs , spreadsheets , data intermediaries and private databases .\na distributed ledger system , which makes it easy for participants to track the ownership of an asset , could be applied to track automotive parts as they move between countries and factories . this is the premise of toyota ' s venture into a blockchain solutions for their core parts supply chain operations .\nkeeping accurate records , in real - time , of the thousands of parts that go into building a car would make toyota more efficient , and could also help during supply chain disruptions .\n* international clients may require certification of origin documents , best created , validated , and secured with blockchain ' s notarisation characteristics . change of ownership midway through a shipment , called merchanting , is made possible , as well as the possibility to trace back the origin of all components of a finished item ' s bills of material . * the use of third party logistics service providers ( 3pls ) , ocean carriers , and freight forwarders can be regulated and automatically controlled by irrevocable and immutable smart contract execution .\nit is thus clear that the flows of warranties , goods for repairs , and associated costs and specifications can be controlled via smart contracts , and the irrevocability of the transactions throughout the product ' s life cycle together with the possibility to access valid and notarized documents make blockchain a very good fit for this type of supply chain activities .\nthere are a multitude more examples of how blockchain is starting to impact all kinds of supply chains and related activities . regardless of the application , blockchain offers industry the following advantages :\n* increase supply chain speed - electronic contracts that automate the transfer of ownership of the goods and authorise the release of payments . because the money will move faster , supply chains will move faster .\n* increase supply chain security and visibility - security and visibility are often perceived as opposing forces , the one curtailed by the other .\n* it is distributed in nature . there is no master computer or platform holding the entire chain . each participating node have a copy of the chain .\n* when someone wants to add a transaction to the chain , the majority of participants in the network will have to validate it .\n* everyone participating in a blockchain network , whether permissioned / private or permissionless / public , can see the blocks and the transactions stored in them . this doesn ' t mean everyone can see the actual content of the transactions - that is protected by each participant ' s private key .\n* increase supply chain integration - blockchain takes digitisation of the supply chain to an altogether much higher level . digitisation exponentially increase the potential for integration and convergence of technologies and systems . this makes blockchain the ideal candidate for a\nsupply chain operating system\n.\n* greater scalability - with no master computer or platform holding the entire chain , as is the case with current supply chain management platforms and enterprise resource planning systems , a blockchain network can scale with the internet .\ndatacentrix is a leading , empowered ict integrator that provides complete , high performing and secure ict solutions . the company has been listed on the main board of the johannesburg stock exchange since 1998 .\noperations are managed from the company ' s registered head office in midrand and from regional offices in cape town , port elizabeth , east london and durban . a state -

related publications currently in use worldwide , but axelos ' s new white paper focuses on the two main global publications from axelos and pmi . our white paper , by portfolio management expert craig kilford , offers an objective overview of both standards and highlights the key differences and similarities of both , providing a sense of their value to practitioners on a personal and organizational level .\nthe level of consultation and transparency so far is encouraging . there ' s a real prospect of a new broom and fresh energy . axelos are taking in a lot of views from across the community .\na new ceo , peter hepworth , has been appointed and some cabinet office staff have transferred to axelos . axelos has set up a twitter account and a google + page and is actively seeking the views from all interest groups through these channels -

it was all done by atos , like advantage learning , and apmg .\nthere ' s been a lot of talk about using social media , collaborative working and engagement with the community and capita ceo , paul pindar , said that\nwe have detailed plans in place\nduring the official announcement . as axelos moves from listening to doing , these should emerge in the run up to 1st january .\nthe mop \u00ae certification scheme has been developed to offer two levels of certification , foundation and practitioner . axelos has accredited peoplecert as our examination institute ( ei ) who then accredits a network of accredited training organizations ( atos ) , including their trainers and course material . the atos and accredited trainers offer mop training courses and examinations .\nwe are always sceptical when hearing promises of shiny technology that will change the world . the initial announcements were full of it . if axelos are to extend the global acceptance of best practice they need to do it in countries which often lack reliable electricity , never mind broadband . low tech versions that increase the reach of the brand are perfectly acceptable . in our opinion , the first priority is a smooth transition\ncontinued development of the standards and qualifications relies on the good will and support a a active but dedicated bunch of practitioners , who offer their author services often at low cost . if axelos has huge commercial pressure to deliver revenue , will it have to goodwill of the authors and also the resources to continue developing the best practice . for one thing is sure best practice has a shelf life , and needs to be continuously refreshes .\ncapita paid \u00a310 million up front and will pay a further \u00a39 . 4 million per year in preferred payments to hm government . the aim is to triple revenues in the next 10 years and produce a profit for the taxpayer of \u00a3500 million in that time by exploiting new markets . the government makes \u00a310 million a year from the current arrangements with apmg , so the axelos jv is , at worst , a no - lose contract .\naxelos\u2019 certifications are globally recognized and highly sought after by potential employers . they can help you to quickly improve your skills and capabilities across a number of key business disciplines , in turn driving strong business performance . our well - known and highly regarded qualifications include itil \u00ae for it service management , prince2 \u00ae 2017 and prince2 \u00ae 2009 for project management , resilia \u00ae for cyber resilience and msp \u00ae for programme management . our portfolio also includes certifications in portfolio , risk and value management .\nin time , but there won ' t be a prince3 , ever . prince2 was the generic version of prince , which was it specific . there will be updates in the light of innovations and best practices . nothing has been said about the next update to prince2 , which was last revised in 2009 . the 2009 edition of prince2 was a good one and there ' s no pressure for change at the moment . axelos first job is to run things smoothly , then think about improving them .\nyou are correct in saying that itil is service and prince2 / msp and agile pm exams are about project . axelos need to realise that these are two different target groups \u2013 the smart thing to do is ensure that prince2 / msp projects / programmes plan carefully for handover outputs into live service , and that itil service managers are prepared to take on those outputs . msp ( managing successful programmes ) places great emphasis on planning to measure benefits in live service , even for many years after \u2018go - live\u2019 .\nand the numbers don ' t add up . capita have said that axelos will triple revenues in 10 years . this represents 12 % year on year growth . the government said that the deal would\nboost returns for taxpayers by \u00a3500 million over 10 years\n. if that ' s \u00a3500 million profit for the government ' s 49 % shareholding there has to be \u00a31 billion in total profit . it ' s optimistic to say the least . neither statement is attributed and no - one seems to know how the figures are calculated .\nthe support of ato ecosystem has always been vital to the growth and promotion of the best practice qualification , read more about brian wernham\u2019s views on axelos . however the acquisition of the certification rights by capita put the other training providers in a difficult position . this is because capita also deliver training across the public sector via civil service learning . in effect capita are both a major training provider and also the accrediting body . in the past the apm group were very careful to avoid this conflict of interest . if the accredited training providers feel they are operating at a disadvantage then the overall market may suffer and the energy generated from a competitive market place may fall way .\nit\u2019s unclear if axelos wish to offer their own on - line training products . it certainly has the leadership to make this happen . their strategy is to exploit \u201cthe relational aspect of play linking human activity with the activity of the world\u201d , in other words , \u2018gamifying\u2019 learning so that it sinks into people\u2019s brains faster . \u201d . this raises two questions , what about the likes of ilx and qa who have invested years in developing this material . and second and most importantly what about the development of behavioral change , not doubt generic knowledge can be delivered through games , but what developing the competence to deliver complex and challenging projects . we all know good training is industry specific and relevant to the client organisation . will we really develop a game for each sector ?\nhtml public\n- / / w3c / / dtd xhtml 1 . 1 / / en\nurltoken\nthey will be \u2018gamifying\u2019 the learning of good practice . their theory is that nintendo / playstation is more fun than sitting though a powerpoint presentation by a suit \u2013 so capita has stumped up the \u00a310m upfront licence fee to buy the materials ( or at least a long licence for publishing rights ) to turn the boring manuals into \u2018interactive exploration facilities\u2019 available by subscription .\nthe existing international \u2018ecosystem\u2019 of training providers , with apmg as a major accrediting body since 2000 , involves smes to a great extent . what will the impact of the capita behemoth have on these fleet - of - foot minnows ?\nthis sort of shakeup has happened before . have a look at this very old blog ( undated but i beleiev from jan 27 2007 ) about the moving of itil over to apmg click here for the blog ( by the way i passed my itil manager\u2019s certificate in 1996 when the bcs\u2019s iseb was running it\u2026\nso it\u2019s alright to listen to users and practitioners , and treat them as customers rather than being a leader and saying this is the way to go \u2026 . playstation , nintendo ! ! ! 78 % of users may look at linked in but all they do is have a nose around at peers or update their cv , nothing more ! ! ! ! oh , and stick up a pay wall \u2013 isn\u2019t that a good way to be a thought leader on best practice , and to penailse a lot of eople who won\u2019t be able to access this as company servers will deny access \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026 . .\nwhat concerns me brian is that a non - public sector body is doing this for commercial reasons . capita may benefit , but also lose credibility if / as they continue to fail in project / programme delivery . as well , could this be seen as a \u2018monopoly\u2019 or would other methodologies now be created to counter their offering \u2013 eroding the value of these qualifications ( validity , reliability etc ) ? frankly , just because they create an e - learning \u2018toy\u2019 doesn\u2019t increase its value . proof and pudding come to mind \u2013 as does the question \u2013 \u2018so what\u2019 !\ni thought itil was about managing a service , and the role of a service and project manager was / is significantly different \u2013 as it way performance can be measured . is it a good idea to conflate these ?\ni agree with you this could be a huge disaster for the best practice eco - system . the apm group understood the symbiotic relationship because its roots as the training arm of the apm .\ncapita paid \u00a310m up front and then another \u00a39 . 5m each year . they also have a big hand in the civil service learning contract . we have just seen maven give up the battle , so that is one of the key players in your eco -

11 people . you get 60 - 80 minutes to find hidden clues , solve puzzles in a room . the goal is simple yet challenging : get out in time ! enjoy the game with your friends & family !\nyou have been an amazing group of people . . . with positive vibes , indeed ! thank you for the ideas , inputs to make cluejob even better . . . reshaping makes a\nplace\nbetter & more tailored to people . we hope all the very best in your business adventures . filios .\nfilios : we used a number of forums to advertise cluejob , but first on a low budget of course . not a lot of cypriots had tried escape games at the time , so we had to push it on social media , on the local radio channel , magazines . we started going to schools with flyers . it was the follow - up of the crazy contruction period .\nin limassol one of the best way to have a good time is to play a real escape game offered by cluejob . they provide 4 different games you can choose from and enjoy an escape room experience . if you aim to find the cheapest escape room tickets and best escape game discounts , you might want to go back to the urltoken homepage and run a search on your city to find the best deal in limassol .\n\u201cit does have some elements from that game , but that one also incorporated gaming whereas we wanted to focus more on interaction ; cluejob is not just about undoing a lock\u2026 it\u2019s also a lot about interaction . for example , we want the idea of having to find a magnet which then has to be transported to another location in the room in order to be able to get another clue\u2026 we don\u2019t solely want it to be about finding numbers and opening up a clue .\nas you enter the premises of cluejob\u2019s escape room in limassol , you will kindly be asked to hand over any gadgets . literally , nothing will assist you in escaping the room you will be locked in ; aside your mind , the clues , direction of the game master and the helping hand of your teammates . adapted from computer games , real - life takagism , more commonly known as real - room escaping games , is gaining popularity in major cities in japan where the concept originated , yet it is also gaining momentum in europe , where gamers move from the mouse - to - screen gaming zone , and utilise their addiction to realistic situations .\nupdate : as we now have more than a few of such escape room experiences , i wanted to clarify that our particular brand of fun was courtesy of cluejob in limassol ( link to their website is here ) . it is clear from the start that the venture is a personal passion of theirs , and that is probably why the end result is absolutely fantastic . the sheer fact that they chose to bring something so novel , at such an impressive scale , to our neck of the woods speaks volumes of their dedication ( i am not at all used to seeing something that is currently trending globally hit our market without a massive lag , as a rule ) .\nthe directory was a lot of work to maintain , its accuracy wasn ' t great , and basic listings didn ' t seem all that useful when you can just look up escape rooms on any mapping / review site . sincere apologies to anyone who is disappointed by the closure .\nbelow are some of the other lovely directories i ' ve found over the years ; maybe some of them will be useful to you . - - egnor @ urltoken\nfinally , for historical reference , you can check out the last version of the old escape room directory .\ni ' ve been to escape limassol ( the one next to the central post office ) 2 times with my friends ( i ' m not a greek speaker ) . they have staff which actually speaks greek , english and russian as well . the whole game was held for us in english ( we pleayed 2 out of 3 rooms they have ) and the girls on reception also speak english . their website is fully in english and it was easy to make an online booking . you will not have any problems with language for sure\nvery good , i ' ve been looking for this for a long time .\nplayers search for clues while taking part in roomescape in novi sad , serbia .\nyou and 10 other people are locked in a room . words , numbers and pictures are scrawled on the walls , objects scattered . a disembodied voice announces there are 60 minutes remaining to escape . a frenzy sets in as people ransack the room , looking for clues leading to the key that will open the door that just locked behind you . before you know it , the voice blares out : 10 minutes have passed . . .\npart game , part theater , part team - building exercise , escape rooms are taking off around the world . and the growth has been explosive . the number of permanent rooms world - wide has gone from zero at the outset of 2010 to at least 2 , 800 today , according to marketwatch calculations based on rooms registered to escape - room directories .\nnate martin , co - founder and ceo of puzzle break , the first escape - room facility to open in the pacific northwest , invested $ 7 , 000 of his own money in 2013 to get the business off the ground . he recouped his initial investment within a month . since then , the business has been profitable every month and , conservatively , is on track to gross over $ 600 , 000 in 2015 . \u201csome months are record - breakingly fantastic , \u201d he says . \u201csome are only very good . \u201d\nin dallas , andrew mcjannett - smith and his wife , traci , run escape expert , which opened in february 2015 . \u201cwe started with negative income to now bringing in $ 70 , 000 a month , \u201d he says .\nthe concept was born in japan , spread through asia , then arrived in the u . s . in 2012 . as of friday , the site escape room directory listed 367 rooms at 138 facilities in the u . s . , with more registering on that site every week . business appears to be booming : at popular locations , tickets sell out weeks in advance .\nthis month for fans to \u201cbecome imf agents . \u201d free tickets for those rooms sold out in new york , san francisco and los angeles in less than 24 hours . later this month on july 25 , the science channel is\nbut many room owners and game enthusiasts are skeptical that the explosive growth can continue . and finding the key to success in this weird , new world may be the trickiest puzzle of all .\n\u2026 20 minutes have passed , and , at this point , you\u2019re likely knee - deep in puzzles , exchanging adrenaline - fueled shrieks with your room compatriots . . .\nin most escape rooms , clues lead to a physical key . but the story of why you\u2019re in the room \u2014 you\u2019re trapped in a mysterious lab ! you\u2019re seeking lost treasure ! you\u2019re stuck in a new york city\u2013sized apartment ! \u2014 and the way in which action unfolds differs by room and location .\n\u201cpeople are looking for a new type of experience , \u201d says doc preuss , a producer for real escape games , which has rooms in san francisco , new york and , soon , los angeles . it is run by scrap entertainment inc . , which opened the first escape - game event in japan in 2007 . \u201cit\u2019s cerebral , [ and ] it\u2019s exciting . the way we design [ the games , there are these emotional highs . it\u2019s like a roller coaster . it\u2019s addicting . \u201d\nmost games cost $ 25 to $ 30 per person for a one - hour game , and typically allow 10 to 12 players at a time . for owners , the chief costs are payroll and rent , plus the one - time expense of building the room out . some rooms comprise little more than a table with pens and paper . others involve elaborate sets and technical wizardry . for instance , the exit game in los angeles has players navigating a laser room .\nscrap is known for keeping costs low , eschewing traditional marketing costs in favor of organic growth and renting the smallest room possible to ensure tickets sell out . \u201cthey feel they have failed if they are not 100 % booked out , \u201d says dan egnor , an escape - game enthusiast and creator of the escape room directory .\nso far , the strategy appears to be paying off : scrap says revenues grew by 800 % in its first year in the u . s . \u2014 a staggering figure even in light of today\u2019s fast growth . the company has been profitable and seen revenue grow every year since then .\nscrap now has more than 25 rooms across 12 cities in japan and is opening its second san francisco location with escape from the jail on polk street in august .\n\u201cthey were the only game in town for years , \u201d says egnor . \u201cright now , a lot of local people equate the escape room with scrap . \u201d\nby using this site you agree to the terms of service , privacy policy , and cookie policy .\n. historical and current end -

a place where he got locked up and had to escape by solving puzzles . boom . i got really excited and the next thing i did was calling panayiotis . then we stayed up all night , sharing ideas and brainstorming . that is where it\u2019s started .\nurltoken : sounds like a movie , what a story ! big franchises might hire professional builders , designers , but that is not the case with most escape rooms . did you already have a place for the escape room ?\nfilios : my ancestors had an empty , old , locked up house , not far from the city center . it seemed to be your typical scary place . but the amount of work ahead of us , was even scarier . it was 45 days of work , can you imagine ? we did everything by ourselves . we painted the walls , fixed the roof , removed the old , dusty floor and in the meantime , i learned webdesign . it was as intense as anything . then we went out to the garden and cut some trees , we pretty much cleared up the whole place . we had a limited budget to say the least . it was crazy .\nurltoken : it is safe to say that you invested tons of energy into this project . what a great inspiration for all future business owners . who wrote the scripts ?\nfilios : we did . panayiotis had his own touch into puzzles , i had another touch which together made the rooms , interesting and likeable to people . i had too many ideas , and during the construction , i was coming up with new ones all the time . the place was given - we had enough rooms .\nfilios : yes , we had enough of them . on the 22th of december we had our first test from people . we figured that we had to change certain things , especially the way players interacted with the game . we removed most of the abstract items . in a way , we created a stylish , minimalistic game , that makes people think more . every element leads into another , there is a sequence to everything . then , the first feedbacks were really positive from the players .\nurltoken : now , let\u2019s move on to the marketing part . cyprus is definitely not full of escape rooms . is it an advantage or a disadvantage ?\nfilios : we did not know what it is going to be like . there was no \u2018final image\u2019 in our heads . it was a creative process , with a lot of effort , and it turned out to be successful . with time , we were able to improve the place from people\u2019s feedback and interraction in the rooms . we make notes about people\u2019s behavior and that gives us a lot of information . we try things that sometimes they do really work and are embraced by people .\nthe escape room industry , well i can say with certainty it is growing and changing at the same time . we believe that the european style ( 3 - 6 players ) will dominate compared to us style ( 8 - 12 players ) and that rooms can have increased time for completion rather than 60 minutes to 180 minutes with food included into a more real life , survival mode . that will increase the cost for people but also increase the reality of the whole game .\nlooking for something different to do in florida ? then this is it . breakout florida is a unique fun , friends or family activity . it is florida ' s number one life escape room game . in teams of 2 -

30 % success rate .\n\u201csimultaneously , we\u2019re also doing something new which is for our two rooms to become interconnected in order for two groups of people to be able to play against each other .\n\u201cthis will require a different , specific means of communication and people will have to really collaborate in order to play . the rooms will be divided with six people in one room and four in the other , 10 in total , with the aim for both groups to come out of the rooms together , \u201d says sazeides .\nand although this concept may recall christos ferendino\u2019s fort boyard challenges , sazeides is quick to differentiate their origin .\n\u201cit\u2019s true that currently most escape rooms focus on giving you a puzzle , you solving it and then opening up something which will enable you to get out . but in order to make it more entertaining we want to not only have numbers and letters , but have interactions , have more to that , \u201d adds sazeides .\n\u201cpeople like seeing something create itself , for example pressing a button and having something move or happen . and when we say interaction we don\u2019t just mean mind games but having your eyes see that something is moving , having sounds and other elements included in the room , \u201d says sazeides which consequently helps gamers get in the mood .\nbehind the door as a rule , the scenarios can be played with a minimum of two people , with the big room requiring at least three players .\n\u201can ideal number to have is five , not more , not less , \u201d said sazeides . \u201cwhat we see happen when there are six people is chaos , \u201d he chuckles , \u201ci don\u2019t think the sixth person helps , the sixth person always distracts the team for some reason . \u201d\nalthough the monitoring of results may be a revealing eye opener with regard to the success of scenarios and rooms , creating rooms in accordance to scenarios seems to be key to success . the source of information the duo used in order to achieve the stories at hand primarily came from research abroad .\n\u201cmy partner ( panayiotis mavrokefalos ) had gone to thessaloniki in greece to a massive escape room company which has 10 rooms in total , one of the biggest ones in europe . there , he played the games , he saw plots and i went to london to another franchise where i played their games and made contact with an english guy there who coincidentally was in cyprus\u2026through sympathy and a small budget he came to our space in limassol and gave us input about how we could create a good plot and also did an inspection of the space , \u201d recalls sazeides .\nas sazeides pinpointed , there are escape room specialists out there who assist the creation of scenarios and help in appropriating rooms . \u201cthe difficult part is finding a formula for people not to be able to come out of the rooms too easily , and for the percentage to be standardised . \u201d it\u2019s because rooms remain \u2018the same\u2019 time after time that it is important for them to sustain enough suspense . \u201cour rooms don\u2019t change each time , in order to create a room we needed about three months of testing and monitoring from the camera ; it needs a lot of fine - tuning in order to reach that , \u201d admits sazeides .\nhaving said that , nothing stops them from expanding on the established rooms and adding more elements as they go along . moving away from everyone focusing on escaping rooms would be one way to diversify the game . \u201cwe also want to focus on breaking in , which ultimately has more action involved , as opposed to breaking out of spaces . we would like groups to have to find a way to get into the house , find something and then come out again . as a kid , i much preferred the idea of breaking into a school . \u201d\n\u201cthere\u2019s nothing new there , just the locks , \u201d says sazeides , as he explains the importance of creating the right atmosphere through the d\u00e9cor , the lighting , the music . \u201cpeople literally escape from the real world for an hour , they enter a new world . \u201d\nand in this new world it seems that aside moving away from the varying screens we seem to be attached to , people have to communicate , people can\u2019t just turn around and \u2018google it\u2019 , people have to bond in order to escape , and this seems to be the beauty of this game .\n\u201ci believe that in cyprus , the entertainment element is missing , \u201d admits sazeides . \u201cbut i also believe that board games can come back\u2026 we\u2019re not against the new trend of smartphones etc but we assert that interaction is also really important because here you see your friend in a different light , it\u2019s a different mode and yes , you\u2019re not playing on your own . \u201d\nsingle , single -

like memory lapses , this can prove difficult , to say the least . additionally , as a fully - fledged adult , i am prone to dark spells , when thinking happy thoughts is nothing short of impossible and a \u201910 things that made me happy\u2019 seems like a mockery .\nbut then there are weeks like the one past , when so many great things happened that i have had to prioritize what makes on today\u2019s list , if at all . so here goes my latest \u201910 things that made me happy\u2019 post , the vip edition .\ni do not need to explain why this is top of the list to anybody over the age 6 . any kind of bank holiday is sufficient to redeem the rest of the week , no matter how crappy , and the positive effect of this wondrous occasion is matched by very few other things in life . you have probably first realized the potency of this magical \u2018treat\u2019 right around when you first started school and have enjoyed the benefits of it throughout university . but bank holiday is a gift that keeps on giving and only gets better with age , which is why it is probably most appreciated by those in full - time employment , such as myself .\nlast week was probably the most interesting week in terms of my work here on \u2018the other f - word\u2019 . i had doubled the amount of posts per week , compared to what i had been doing so far , including some travel photography that i wanted to share . i had featured a guest blog here , for the first time ever and had done a guest post myself - another first . additionally , and by popular demand , i did a \u2018how to\u2019 beauty post , which is something i discuss freely with friends and family , so it came naturally . this also translated into some increased traffic and additional feedback ( which i absolutely can\u2019t get enough of ) . i got some excellent recommendations , as well as compliments , on a multitude of things , including post ideas , writing style , etc . i am a veritable knowledge sponge , so love hearing others\u2019 opinions , as it always lets you see things from a different perspective .\nlast week we completed operation \u2018wisdomous\u2019 , a . k . a . the voluntary extraction of all my wisdom teeth . i would have given it the top spot in the list of events of last week , given just how much stress i have put myself through prior to getting it over and done with , but better things occurred . all in all , it is fairly impressive how easy it turned out to be , what with all the drama i imagined in my head . it is amazing to look back at years ( i am not even kidding ) of agonizing about it and think \u2018i will never have to bother with that again\u2019 . the relief was palpable .\non the subject of teeth , i have had fundamental and concrete proof that the tooth fairy indeed exists . my mom ( who accompanied me to the dentist , natch ) took the extracted teeth along with her and made a joke that i should put them under the pillow , since it has been decades that the tooth fairy last visited . i , being heavily medicated and firmly entrenched in a juvenile state of self - pity , caved in and actually did put said teeth , as indicated . next morning , voil\u00e0 , i get a little present in the mail in the form of a cheque for overpaid taxes from back in the day ( i am talking about , 4 years back , people ! ) . happy coincidence ? i don\u2019t think so !\ni decided last year to overcome my dislike of cardio and have been steadily increasing the amount of time i spent on the treadmill . last week i took it up a notch and joined in on the annual marathon run . i did not attempt any serious distances , to be fair , sticking to 10km and neither did i try to make some specific time , and yet , it felt very gratifying . i guess it was partially because of the rediscovery of joys of organised group activity , which is something that is a distant memory for me by now . additionally , the whole set up was fun and weather was truly glorious on that day . needless to say , vegging out on the couch all day afterwards also contributed to my feeling of satisfaction , as it finally felt \u2018well deserved\u2019 .\nspring is an elusive treat over here . the change from winter to scorching heat can be so swift that sometimes you forget about the specific season altogether . however , due to this rarity of springtime , you cherish every sign of it dearly . whilst taking a short stroll in the neighborhood i was so fascinated by some butterflies flapping around the lone tree in bloom on the sidewalk that any passers by would be excused to think me slightly intoxicated . but as i could not care less about such faff , i carried on gaping . spring is truly the most beautiful of the seasons and has a magical effect on my mood every single year .\none of the best things of being in a long term relationship is that when it comes to happiness your partner knows every trick and tip in the book , applicable to you . which is why my partner is acutely aware that i am a \u2018hearts and flowers\u2019 kinda gal , and thrive on regular romantic gestures of the traditional kind . i literally feel my face break up into an ear - to - ear smile each time i spy a bouquet of flowers in the house , as i walk through the door . the fact that they are \u2018just because\u2019 is simply the juiciest cherry on the cake .\nthis week i have had a major upgrade in my signing class routine . i have met mr mic and we really hit it off . firstly , nothing makes you feel quite more \u2018pro\u2019 , than standing on an actual stage in front of a row of seats ( albeit without the audience at this stage ) , holding a microphone in your hand . secondly , i can not say i did not love the results of some light mixing and the extra power your voice takes on with some tweaks . we had the time to go over all the songs i have been practicing so far in one session , and i finally got to properly hear what i sound like . lots of action points , of course , but all in all , a fabulous experience .\nthis week , thanks to a very dear friend , we partook in a very unusual activity . for once it did not revolve around some form of food consumption , which in itself is already a major achievement . specifically , we got together in a group of 6 and took part in a real - life room escape game ( wiki explains it here ) . i won\u2019t divulge the details but i have to say that the amount of excitement this generated for me was comparable only with the gleeful joy a kid experiences upon entering disneyland . this was , hands down , the best 75 minutes of my week and carried the most entertainment value money can buy .\ni am lucky enough to have a friend that is so \u2018in tune\u2019 with my thought process that our meet -

and transportation department suspended the airline in april 2007 , and a government database shows that republicair did not carry any passengers in 2008 or 2009 . however , leonardo rojas , a spokesman for the department , said republicair resumed operations after the suspension was lifted later in 2007 . )\nmexico city \u2014 on a normal morning , flight attendant elizabeth mercado would be at about 30 , 000 feet , pouring coffee on aviacsa ' s flight to las vegas .\nbut after the mexican government ' s recent decision to ground the airline for safety violations and unpaid user fees ,

government to ground several carriers , forcing some of them out of business for good and leaving the future uncertain for others . as a result , many employees are out of work \u2014 and angry at what they see as uneven enforcement .\ncristobal guevara , the union representative for pilots at aerocalifornia , an airline that was grounded a year ago and has not flown since , says the motives behind the decision were\nalways political .\nhe said the company was targeted for closure to favor airlines with better connections to the government .\ngerardo s\u00e1nchez henkel , the head of enforcement at mexico ' s communications and transportation department , denies such accusations and says the financial and safety issues cited when the airlines were grounded are legitimate .\nthis is not harassment ,\nhe said .\nmexico ' s national chamber of air transportation , which represents airlines , has sided with safety regulators in the suspension of the carriers .\nprior to the recent problems , a new wave of discount airlines had increased popularity in mexico . the carriers had helped make domestic air travel , which has historically been more expensive here than in the usa , more accessible to middle - class mexicans . the airlines were also popular among u . s . budget travelers taking domestic routes to cities and resorts not served by u . s . airlines .\n\u2022

it has not resumed flying .\n\u2022 avolar and nova air , both shut down on aug . 4 because of unpaid air - traffic - control fees . avolar owed $ 9 . 6 million , and nova air owed $ 1 . 5 million (

their development . some of the airplanes were actually made by the pilots themselves . crashes were common , and repair was time - consuming and difficult . the fatality rate was high among the pilots . flight lessons were almost unheard of , and frequently consisted of general guidelines given on the ground , and individual practice . one of the early pilots , capt . benjamin d . foulois , was given instruction from orville wright , by mail !\nthe squadron arrived in columbus on march 15 , only with 8 airplanes , 11 pilots , 82 enlisted men , and flew their first reconnaissance sortie on the 16th . that was the first time american aircraft were used in an actual military operation .\n3 days later , on march 19th , the squadron was ordered to report \u2018without delay\u2019 to pershing\u2019s headquarters in casas grandes , mexico . the pilots departed early that evening . having little actually night flying experience , darkness proved to be a major problem for the pilots . one airplane made it to headquarters that night . the next morning 2 aircraft landed . one airplane had returned to columbus , and 2 others were missing . they then discovered another problem that could not be overcome . these airplanes , with their 90 horsepower engines were no match for the mountains . they simply could not climb high enough to cross the 10 , 000 \u2013 12 , 000\u2019 peaks . in addition , the strong turbulent winds meant they could not fly through the passes . the frequent dust storms played havoc with the engines , making it almost impossible to fly , and the unrelenting heat de - laminated the wooden propellers !\ndue to weather and maintenance problems , and the airplane\u2019s lack of power , many missions simply could not be accomplished . captain foulois told general pershing the jennies \u201cwere not capable of meeting the present military service conditions . \u201d he asked for \u201cat least ten of the highest - powered , highest climbing , and best weight carrying aeroplanes\u201d that could be provided . \u201ci knew i was optimistic in thinking i would get the planes i wanted , but i was duty bound to ask for them , \u201d foulois is quoted as saying . while he doubted he would get adequate equipment , he continued to do what he could with what he had ! it was decided that the planes would be used to carry mail and dispatches between us ground units and reconnaissance flights .\none of the biggest problems with the whole mission was the hostility of the mexican people and government . the mexican government refused to let the us troops use mexico\u2019s rail system to transport men and supplies . the americans thought they were helping by chasing villa , but carranza\u2019s forces , the carranzistas , were very hostile .\nwith the shortage of supplies approaching critical , captain foulois was ordered to fly to the city of chihuahua to ask the american consul for help getting the needed food and medicine to the troops . supposedly , chihuahua was held by friendly forces , but foulois was skeptical . the reports he had received from commanders in the field indicated they had been fired on by the carranzistas . he decided to send two airplanes , each with a pilot and an observer . one plane would land north of the city and the other would land on the south side . the pilots were told to stay with the airplanes while the observers walked into town to contact the consul . the pilots were to protect the airplanes , and fly them out of danger , if necessary .\non april 7 , two planes took off for chihuahua . captain foulois and lt . herbert a dargue were in one plane , and captain dodd and lt . carberry in the other . dodd landed on the north side of town without incident , commandeered a carriage , and went immediately to the consulate . consul marion h . letcher contacted some merchants , purchased the needed supplies and made arrangements for them to be shipped later that day .\nin the meantime foulois plane landed on the south side of town . as he got out of the airplane , townspeople who had seen the plane circling to land came running at him . he said , \u201cfour mexican rurales waved rifles at us excitedly when we landed . when lt . dargue got the plane stopped , i got out and yelled to him to take off immediately to join lt . carberry north of town and that i would meet him there . \u201d foulois started walking into town , ignoring the shouts and the people shaking fists as the airplane took off . shots were fired , but the airplane got away safely . as he continued walking , he felt defenseless with only a colt . 45 against four winchester rifles . he commented , \u201cthere was nothing i could do but put my hands up and pray . i did both . \u201d\nonce at the jail , he was shoved into a cell and an iron door clanged shut . captain foulois had become the first american airman ever to be a prisoner of war ! somehow , he was able to convince the jail warden to send a messenger to general gutierrez , the military governor . he describes what happened next , \u201ca colonel miranda , the general\u2019s chief of staff , showed up , took me in custody , and we marched several blocks to the headquarters . general gutierrez was affable and agreed that i should not be detained any longer . i told him about the two planes north of the city and asked for guards to keep them from being harmed . again , he was agreeable . i asked if i might visit the planes to reassure my men , and we were soon on our way . \u201d\nupon arriving at the field north of the city , they found only lt . dargue there . when he had flown in , a large crowd of carranzistas followed him . they crowded around the airplanes and began burning cigarette holes in the aircraft fabric . dargue and carberry tried to stop them , but then the crowd took out machetes and began slashing at the airplanes , and young boys began climbing on the machines trying to take them apart . the pilots decided they had to get the planes to safety and fired up the engines getting ready to take off . carberry was able to escape , but his escape only made things worse for dargue . the crowd ran after him throwing rocks . when he lifted off the entire top section of the fuselage behind the cockpit ripped off and damaged the vertical stabilizer . he cut the power and was able to land successfully .\ncaptain foulois immediately had the guards take over and subdue the crowd . lt . carberry had landed just a few miles away at a smelting company , and returned a little later . the four pilots were taken to the us consulate where they spent the night . the next morning they were able to make enough repairs to make the airplanes flyable , and took off .\nthe whole situation seemed absurd . both sides were trying to locate and capture pancho villa , but they seemed to spend more time fighting each other . the further into mexico the americans penetrated , the more hostility they encountered . on april 12 , a us cavalry unit actually got into a battle with a band of carranzistas . they killed 40 of the mexican troops , while two americans died and six were wounded .\nthe bad news only got worse . when the new planes arrived , they were not twelve r - 2s but eight curtiss n - 8s . after testing them , foulois declared all eight of them unfit for service . eventually , the r - 2s did arrive , but were not practical for the conditions . every plane required alterations , mostly to the engines and propellers , due to the climate . however , on august 22 , 1916 they were able to get 6 planes in the air and give general pershing the first aerial review ever held by a us air unit .\nthe first attempt by the us military air unit could be considered a failure . but , it was a learning experience . while they had no success in finding villa , captain foulois considered this a turning point in the development of american military aviation . he later became a major general , and in 1931 was appointed chief of the us army air corps .\nyou can find numerous other aviation stories by this contributor if you click on her name in

technique of the art belong to criticism certainly . they cannot belong anywhere else , because the technique is not peculiar to any prose materials discoverable in the work of art , nor to anything

tool of oppression . during the 1770s , he was a delegate to the continental congress . in the 1780s , adams served as a diplomat in europe and helped negotiate the treaty of paris ( 1783 ) , which

expected and the market opportunities that inspired early optimism had passed . transvolution needed to do the hard slog of seeking out new opportunities .\nthe industry is not geared for a small

, and 4 days . transvolution leasing pty ltd is active now .\ntrnv 101 : introduction to transvolution : before i begin on this principle , i would like to note that there is no listed target for it like every other principle .\ntransvolution has been two years in the making . minter \u2013 who joined the start - up in june last year \u2013 says simply gaining the national accreditation has taken 12 months .\nan application for the winding up of transvolution services pty ltd was commenced by the plaintiff deputy commissioner of taxation on 02 / 03 / 2016 and will be heard as set out below .\nthis principle works like trnv 101 , but your transvolution is much more flexible . donors do not need to be the same type , so long as they are within the same group out of the following .\ntransvolution rail has announced that it had been granted accreditation by the office of the national rail safety regulator ( onrsr ) , authorising it to carry out railway operations in victoria , south australia and new south wales .\nseems a new operator called transvolution is planning on entering the bg freight market in victoria . said to have a large number of tqxx coded wagons which were recently moved from mcintyre to bendigo yard via tottenham yard .\ntransvolution\u2019s business model focuses , at least in the first instance , on filling in some of the gaps that existing operators have found too difficult to service , including smaller routes on the shrinking broad gauge network in victoria .\ni don ' t have much integration with the other disciplines , which is one of transvolution ' s weaknesses right now . adding metal hybridization should help it work with alchemetry , but still it ' s fairly separate .\ntransvolution\u2019s operations are australia - wide with in - house rail services across south - east australia and a partner network providing national rail coverage as well as national road haulage services , both linehaul and pud ( pick - up and delivery ) .\nduring the accreditation process , the hore family found masked fox had a history which set many in the industry against the new business . they set about revitalising it , bringing in a new management team and rebranding as transvolution in november 2014 following the formal acquisition .\nwhich suggests an acquisition by transvolution . i recall reading a post to that effect on the mf facebook , but that now redirects to tv . . . whether one takes that at face value is another question , but it could explain the volume of corporate changes ?\ntransvolution chief executive roger hore declared the day a milestone in the history of the australian rail industry : \u201cwe are so proud to be the only multi - state rail freight company to enter the market in over a decade , and the first one to be accredited under the new national regulations . \u201d\nhence , universally , based on a single postulate , only the whole - - which itself is intensively in flux , that is , which is the evolution - involution and transvolution of matter , which is always concrete - abstract - - is the whole , earthly , flowing , relative - absolute truth .\nregistered on 2013 - 08 - 15 and given the 165329037 acn , transvolution leasing pty ltd is a limited by shares australian proprietary company . it can be found in the state of victoria , post code 3016 . before moving there company headquarters could be found in victoria post code 3016 ( from 2013 - 08 - 15 to 2014 - 09 - 20 ) . the company registered for goods and services tax on 2013 - 10 - 01 . the data regarding transvolution leasing pty ltd was extracted from the abr on 27 - 02 - 2018 . the australian business register database was last updated on 2015 - 02 - 07 .\ni ' m actually have another discipline on the side which can give creatures templates as one of it ' s applications . i ' d like to avoid giving transvolution the ability to bestow templates because it can already give the traits found in templates , it would subtract from the theme of struggling to control the random changes , and to avoid stepping on the other discipline .\nit seems that someone is watching this thread . . . when i made my previous post , the transvolution ' s facebook info page clearly listed 54 albemarle st williamstown north as its business address . i should ' ve taken a screenshot - it changed in under 5 hours ! also had the founding date listed as august 23rd , 2013 - now it ' s ' founded in 2013 ' .\ntrnv 399 : unhindered transmorphosis : i do not believe that all creatures should be available to the study of transvolution . perhaps gaining an additional creature type by way of a discovery ? everything else is fairly interesting since it allows for a level of greater design towards your end goal , however i feel that the previous principles should have lead up to this ? perhaps selecting certain traits over others to propagate to save a little bit more time . hell , this can be done generational for superb breeding of a perfect specimen for your goal . for example , in the above blueprint i ' ll be working on a horse truly worthy for war for a gramarist .\nin reflecting on the process , aaron hore admitted that the company had benefitted from the onrsr\u2019s review of the system . \u201cwe undertook several revisions in response to the regulator\u2019s feedback . according to the regulator\u2019s review team , we now have an exceptional safety management system , unmatched in the industry . \u201d\nthe answer , according to daryl minter , lies as much with the industry itself as with the external challenges it faces : \u201cwe may concede that there has been a lack of policy vision and under - investment in rail infrastructure over successive decades , but the industry has relinquished the initiative by failing to accommodate the demand for services , surrendering opportunities to road with little resistance . sometimes effort is required to keep the marginal business on rail and thereby build a bigger , sustainable whole . \u201d\nwinter chill brings a little hope for retail : turnover rises 0 . 4 %\nsign up with your business email address to

for rail freight in the tri - state region .\nask the lay - man on the street , and he will tell you rail is the logical answer to australia\u2019s growing freight task ,\nhe says , listing off economy - wide benefits such as reduced congestion and enhanced road safety .\nthere\u2019s a lot of market for someone who is willing to work flexibly with the client .\nthe company has\nsome\nlocomotives and wagons , but is able to access a wide range of rolling stock as and when it is required .\nfor example , he says using specially - designed wagons could increase the maximum haulage of a grain train from 2 , 500 tonnes to up to 8 , 000 tonnes .\nthat doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t a role for governments to help encourage more freight onto rail .\nno one\u2019s denying there hasn\u2019t been underinvestment in rail and a lack of policy vision ,\nminter says .\nthe company is to make a submission to the victorian parliamentary inquiry into the planned lease of the

d bet that actual address is 54a albemarle st .\nthese ones are what the archaeologists would call ' transition fossils ' - based in the docklands , but under the mask . . . they ' re really masked fox !\nso we have a company that is quite clearly a rebadged masked fox starting up - and masked fox is most definitely connected to el zorro . interesting !\nthat is a shame and says a lot about gwa ' s commitment to adelaide and south australia . 186 wagons .\nif this is ray evans again then i do hope he can get he right people around him this time . he in my view is a very knowledgeable railway man . get some strong business leadership in there with him and it will work .\nso are they purchasing or hiring these locomotives ? i would hope the former . i also get the impression ssr would service them .\ni hear that 831 and 843 locos might also be in the mix . in any case it gets the rumor mill working overtime .\nthe big question is what traffic are they intending to run ? are they going after the tocumwal traffic which is more than pn can handle or wants to handle or refuses to handle ? there are other threads here which suggest there is a lot more traffic out of tocumwal .\nif you recall el zorro were running to tocumwal on opposite timetables to pn .\nthe cutting up of wagons by gwa does not show a lack of commitment to sa , it is just the a fact of life . all rail companies at one point or another get rid of old outdated and obsolete locos and rolling stock .\nthe wagons cut up scrapped were stone hoppers for which they now is no customer , very old open wagons for which there is no requirements for open wagons anywhere in australia any more a few old passenger / crew car wagons which gwa have had more recently converted and a number of wagons with structural defects .\nthe locos being cut up are clapped out gm ' s built in the 50 ' s and 60 ' s which have been out of use for a number of years . they and their surviving sister units are now able to be replaced by new fuel efficient high horse power locos ( gwa ' s ) being released from iron ore workings in the states north .\nwhy keep old scrap metal sitting around taking up track space in yards when it has had no requirements for years and no requirements into the foreseeable future .\nin my professional opinion the issues faced by el zorro were not ray ' s understanding of railway networks or how to deliver rail freight they were more about how the business was governed . i am not going to elaborate past that suffice to say i did meet with ray several times and had a good understanding of the issues . especially the need to understand complex cost structures and how these costs impact customer contracts .\nas i have said above . ray needs some good\nsupportive\nmanagement around him being the consummate entrepreneur .\nso el zorro was mismanaged , had debts and failed . creditors lost money . employees lost their jobs . smeg happens ! it\u2019s happened before ( at the hands of others ) and it will happen again . demonise ray evans all you like , but realise the hypocrisy , especially when the totality of\nthe business failed because it was run poorly , it was put down as insolvent . since el zorro the labour hire business run by the same people has been well , ceased .\nmeanwhile on a sunny beach somewhere in spain . . .

+ the mutability dc + the difference between the donor creature\u0092s size numbers ( fine1 , diminutive2 , tiny3 , small4 , medium5 , large6 , huge7 , garganuan8 , colossal9 ) . success indicates survival , failure indicates death .\nto determine each trait , make an unmodified roll against the mutability dc . if the die rolls higher than the dc , the hybrid\u0092s trait is averaged between the two donor creatures . if the die rolls lower , the hybrid\u0092s trait is a random number between the donor\u0092s scores . modify each donor creature to medium size , and make size adjustments after all traits are decided .\ngo through this process for size , hd , speed ( in 5ft intevervals ) , natural armor , bab , each ability separately , good / evil alignment ( good1 / usuallygood2 / neutral3 / usuallyevil4 / evil5 ) , and law / chaos ( lawful1 / usuallylawfull2 / neutral3 / usuallychaotic4 / chaotic5 ) alignment .\nmake an unmodified roll against the mutability dc for each row of the table . when deciding which feature is kept from a pair , if the roll is above the mutability dc , choose the feature that is marked as simpler . conversely , choose the more complicated feature if the roll is below the mutability dc .\nwhen rolling for a lone feature , if the roll is above the mutability dc the feature is removed . if the roll is below the mutability dc , the feature remains with the hybrid .\ntwo creatures , or two bodies of solid material of no more than 8 cubic ft . and weighing no more than 5 , 000 lb\nhybrids do not use types like normal creatures , instead type determined traits such as hit die are generated randomly . of the donor ' s types , one is randomly determined to be the hybrids type , and the second is it ' s augmented subtype .\nin addition , after this principle is learned , you can choose one creature type per 4 ranks in control shape . these types can always be hybridized , regardless of the other donor ' s type .\nafter this principle is learned , you get a + 4 to hybrid ' s survival checks .\nthis principle works like trnv 101 , or like trnv 143 if you have learned it , but you can raise the survival dc by any positive number before rolling for survival . the hybrid gains a number of shift points equal to the amount the survival dc is raised . if the hybrid survives , at the end of the hybrid\u0092s generation you can expend one shift point to subtract one point from one ability to add one point to another ability .\nin addition , after this principle is learned , all trnv priciples can target two bodies of uniform material to hybridize them , much the same way you would a creature with these exceptions .\nif the hybrid material would fail their survival check , the materials appear burned , twisted , and crumbly . this new material , often called ash , has no hardness , 1 hit point per inch of thickness , no melting point , floats on any liquid , and emits a thin but unpleasant smell .\nwhen rolling for the hybrids stats , make a row for the materials hardness , hit points per inch of thickness , weight ( if known ) , buoyancy , flammability , and any special traits . the hybrid is always 8 cubic ft , so material is always lost in this fusion .\nthis principle works like trnv 231 , but before features are generated you can expend three shift points to choose which feature is inherited , or whether a feature is inherited or not , for a single row .\nin addition , after this principle is learned , all trnv priciples can target two objects or weapons to hybridize them , much the same way you would a creature with these exceptions .\nif the hybrid object or weapon would fail their survival check , the materials appear burned , twisted , and crumbly . this new material , often called ash , has no hardness , 1 hit point per inch of thickness , no melting point , floats on any liquid , and emits a thin but unpleasant smell .\nwhen rolling for the hybrids stats , make a row for the materials hardness , hit points per inch of thickness , weight ( if known ) , buoyancy , flammability , and any special traits . objects usually mix features , such as a hat and a lantern becoming a functional hat made of lantern , or a non - functional latern , made of hat . when generating weapon hybrids , roll for its type ( simple , martial exotic ) , size , minimum damage , maximum damage , range increment , critical multiplier , weight , and damage type , as well as any special features . the weapon can have any number of damage dice , of any size , so long as the weapon stays equal to or below its maximum and minimum damage .\nthis principle works like the highest level of trnv 101 , trnv 231 , or trnv 280 that you have learned , but if the hybrid survives , at the end of the hybrid\u0092s generation you can expend two shift points to add one point to any ability . this principle cannot be used if it was used to create either of the donors . in addition , after this principle is learned , all trnv principles can be used on shapechangers .\nin addition , after this principle is learned , when creating a hybrid with any principle , you can choose to make multiple hybrids instead of one . each hybrid is generated separately ( making the spreadsheet i made even more useful ) . each hybrid ' s survival dc is multiplied by the number of hybrids being made from that preparation .\nthis principle works like the highest level of trnv 101 , trnv 231 , trnv 280 , or trnv 349 that you have learned , but has several dramatic differences . with trnv 399 you can sculpt a creature in whatever image you choose . this acts as if a single donor creature is being fused with any creature ( at dm\u0092s discretion ) without its presence being required . during this procedure you can choose which traits will be affected , and which will remain stable from the present donor to the hybrid . any mechanical changes between the host and the hybrid can be refluffed however you like , and non - mechanical changes can be added freely . the survival dc when using this principle is raised by two times the non - present creature ' s hd .\ntheory of divine enervation : when creating a hybrid , you may supply it with faith , as you would a platinum transformer . if the hybrid receives the equivalent of 20 x the creature ' s hd ebbs in faith , you may choose to give it the all the traits of an abomination . theory of compatible forms : by deactivating parts of a donor ' s form , you can keep them stable and intact in the hybrid . any hybrid you make after this theory is learned can change one of its features or traits to the feature or trait that would have been granted by the opposite donor as a full round action , or when triggered by a heuretical circuit , if the hybrid is a creature . if they hybrid is a material or object , a trait can be changed by making a full round action and touching the object , or a circuit connected to the object , and making a control shape check higher than the initial check .\ni don ' t get your complex / simple thing , eg how you judge giraffe eyes to be more complex . i also don ' t get why the giraffe ' s herbivore nature is a feature but the cat ' s carnivorous diet isn ' t . also , why is bab rolled for separately when it ' s determined purely by hd and type ? also , for 143 , when you use two different types , what type is the hybrid ? initially , i didn ' t see the point of raising your handle animal ( since you set the dc ) , but reading the shift point stuff i can see why you ' d want it now , so that ' s not really a complaint anymore .\nthought 1 : that ' s really awesome . thought 2 : it doesn ' t quite feel distinct from biollurgy . seeing as biollurgy ( partially ) involves creating new life , and this is about altering life . don ' t get me wrong here it ' s still cool , and i definitely like the idea of being able to screw around with existing animals . and the oddities in your spreadsheet have been mentioned .\nwas this based on encyclopedia arcane : magical crossbreeding ? because this is extremely similar to the idea . if not , i can give you some ideas from the book to refine this concept and make it more streamlined .\nyou didn ' t poke fate with a stick . you set fate on fire , then whacked it with a 2x4 several times .\ngood thing they did body attribute instead of physical attribute , otherwise the stats would look like : p . hysical m . ind s . pirit xd\n, for pta & ptu community building . if you ' re interested , take a look .\ni read the book a while ago , and it was probably the inspiration , but i had forgotten about it . what would your advice be ? i ' m a little scared to ask , as i ' d risk making it even more extremely similar .\nthe idea of it being similar , because it ' s a 3 . 0 book that needs updating , this just makes it so much better / easier to accomplish .\nfirst , i ' d actually use the type chart in the book , with the same modifiers to the mutability dc ( possibly rebalanced slightly ) . use that to determine bab , saves , hd size and the like . it makes it more streamlined .\nmake it so later principles let you alter the type to one of the types of its donor or even another type . like one that lets you perform pseudo - necromancy by turning the hybrid into an undead or applying a template . on that note , give an option to apply certain templates , like winged , reptilian , skeleton , the half templates , etc .\ni ' d also change the associated skill to craft ( alchemy ) , control shape ( that skill for inflicted lycanthropes ) , or even use rope ( like you take strands of essence and tie them into special knots to get the hybrid just right with each principle being new knots you can use ) or appraise ( determining the\nvalue\nof each trait and trying to adjust the value appropriately ) .\nand lastly , give it some synergy by allowing it to fuse materials as well as creatures , so you could say , have a suit of mithril / adamantine armor that is both as light as mithril and as strong as adamantine , or a multi - material input / output .\nthis allows you to tie this discipline together with other disciplines better , streamline the process for animal fusions , and make it more balanced . if you still have the book , i ' d say read through it again to see what you can adapt to apply to this discipline to make it better and more streamlined .\none thing to add to edogrimshell ' s post . if it can fuse materials it should also be able to fuse materials with animals at some point . hello adamantine skeleton .\nbefore i make any criticism positive or negative , i ' ve got to test the principles myself on a selective blueprint by itself . before i do this , i need to know what disciplines this is supposed to work in conjunction with ? obviously it would be biollurgy and , by association , everything else that works with biollurgy , but i ' m curious if their is anything else you have in mind .\n40 ft .

bred horse with 36 ebbs to use per round . unused ebbs are placed into the orchalcum for storage .\ntwo - part engine : this engine allows the magitek - bred horse to fly at 60ft requiring 4 ebbs per round to sustain .\n: the magitek - bred horse can prepare the following principles as a warmaker : alch 101 , arcd 101 , eldk 101 , yggd 101 .\n: a magitek - bred horse takes normal damage from good - aligned silvered weapons , and from spells or effects with the good descriptor .\n: during the excitement of battle , a magitek - bred horse snorts and neighs with rage . this snorting fills a 15 - foot cone with a hot , sulfurous smoke that chokes and blinds opponents . anyone in the cone must succeed on a dc 19 fortitude save or take a - 2 penalty on all attack and damage rolls until 1d6 minutes after leaving the cone . the cone lasts 1 round , and the magitek - bred horse uses it once as a free action during its turn each round . the save dc is constitution - based .\nbecause of the smoke it gives off , a magitek - bred horse has concealment against creatures 5 feet away and total concealment against creatures 10 feet or farther away . the smoke does not obscure the magitek - bred horse\u0092s vision at all .\na magitek - bred horse casts and prepare divine spells as a 7th - level druid .\n( 6 / 7 / 5 / 4 / 3 ; dc 19 + spell level ) .\nas a standard action , a magitek - bred horse can stun a creature within 30 feet with a look . the target creature must succeed on a dc 21 fortitude save or be stunned for 2d4 rounds . the save dc is charisma -

45d power armor , making them effectively walking around with immunity : yes . i must admit that there is a sense of hilarity in that the mount can potentially be more durable than the rider .\nthere are some alterations to the power armor . more specifically , a contingency that triggers a pink filter outward by 30ft that prevents teleportation and a contingent black filter that triggers whenever the wearer would be subject to anything that would attempt to take information from the wearer without their consent .\nhere i will be listing faults and recommendations towards making your discipline work a bit more fluidly . these are just my opinions so take them as you will .\nbefore i begin on this principle , i would like to note that there is no listed target for it like every other principle .\nbiolurigical implants ? : i believe you are referring to xenoalchemic implants and grafts . there are no such things as biollurgical implants . i ' d make it specifically reference xenoalchemy . in addition to this , give it limiting factors towards how many grafts and implants that can be attached to a living creature . perhaps using the requisite grades of the grafts equal to the graft level * 5 to construct a dc for applying it ?\nhow do we know if it is dead ? : you do not need to put a number value towards fine and colossal . the difference is completely self - evident . in addition to this , i would make the base dc equal 10 + any additional modifiers .\nrandom traits ? : why are these traits even randomized ? why not just make it based on the alignment table ? always being a + 2 towards that direction , usually being a + 1 towards that direction and so on and so forth .\nphysical appearances are important why ? : it feels to me that you were trying to touch hybridization too hard here to the point where you are placing mechanics on things that are not important in the slightest . features such as blindsight 60ft and spell - like abilities are important because they have actual effects on the world . a creature ' s fur color ? not so much . thereafter , lining up a creatures special traits on a table and rolling a d100 ( 50 % chance ) to determine which traits remain and which ones go in the final creature is perfectly rational .\ntrnv 143 : odious unifications : this actually opens up a lot of ideas for this in the idea of additional discoveries . no comment .\ntrnv 231 : equivalent allocation : this is interesting , but i don ' t understand why you would create something called\nshift points\nfor this . quite honestly , you could just make it say that you can move a number of ability scores points from one to another equal to 1 / 10th of the handle animal check used for it . on the topic of using handle animal , i concede that your association with it for this discipline means that i will change psychomantics skill to use psionic device . i do this for the reasons that i believe that there should never be a discipline sharing a skill with another discipline , however in the future i do believe that there will be sub - disciplines ( principles within principles ) .\ntrnv 280 : precise vicissitude : same as before , however decrease the ability score variation to 1 / 5th . i must ask that you add something else to make this principle more appealing since it effectively feels that magisterial principles for this discipline are effectively the same principle twice . perhaps at this level you become capable of applying this effect to the undead and graft construct traits to a living creature ( making a living construct of sorts ? ) .\ntrnv 349 : unbalanced appropriation : finally getting undead ? at 14th level this is far too late for it to be of any legitimate use to any gramarist . like i said , this would be better suited for a magisterial principle .\nedit : i made a combination of an aboleth and a marut to see what would happen with the types . i got a marble aboleth that acted mostly like a construct , but had a soul ( vulnerable to necromancy and can be raised from the dead ) , then a fleshy humanoid thing that has to be repaired for health , and then one that rolled construct all the way , but took the aboleth ' s psionic abilities and mucus .\ngood idea , handle animal was kind of egh . i ' m currently torn between craft ( alchemy ) and control shape .\nthat sounds good and probably not hard to implement . flammable metal . wood that melts . paper with extreme hardness . yes . if anyone else has an idea for something that could be hybridized , i want it .\ni did say a principle that allows you to alter the type . you could have it determined randomly with the other type as an augmented subtype . other principles add the ability to alter the types further as secondary benefits at cost , give it an option . the struggle you have on this makes it unattractive as a discipline at the moment , removing that , while taking away some of the fluff , makes it more attractive as a discipline , bringing it on par with biollurgy for its usefulness rather than being a weaker facsimile .\nmaybe make it go randomly between three types , the chance to get one of the others as an augmented subtype so you still have some of that randomness , but it ' s not as difficult to implement .\nalthough i suppose one would require only one more step to give a creature an adamantine skeleton .\nis your issue with the way i ' m determining type , or that i ' m determining the traits that would be taken from the type separately ? i ' m confused why my system of breaking types down\nmakes it unattractive as a discipline\nand\na weaker facsimile\n.\nthe downside as i see it , is hybridization takes longer , since there are more rolls . it shouldn ' t effect power at all though , nor does it make any major changes to the discipline . it ' s possible i ' ve missed your point .\nthe augmented subtype hadn ' t even occurred to me , but fits perfectly . thanks for the idea .\ni haven ' t put a lot of thought into this yet , but i ' ve been handling important parts of personality as features . its fairly free form so far , since there aren ' t rules for it . i might put each person ' s memories down , with an average as both their memories , then do the same with personality , with the average being some blend , or the fighting for control you mention . if they have some important quirk or racial personality trait , like a beholder ' s xenophobia , that would be listed separately rather than in a pair . in later principles , when you can guarantee features , you can hybridize yourself with something else and ensure your memory and personality gets through unscathed .\nfor the below , please mention if you think i missed your point . these all very valuable suggestions .\nbiolurgical implants sounded like a thing that might exist , since people have made everything . i have it removed and have a section added to specify that the grafts still counted towards max grafts . does that fix the problem ? i ' m not sure what the dc is for , the principle doesn ' t actually apply grafts , just genetically internalize them .\nyou do not need to put a number value towards fine and colossal . the difference is completely self - evident .\nthe number is there so there can be a mathematical change to the dc . a skilled transvolutionist should be able to combine mice and purple worms .\nin addition to this , i would make the base dc equal 10 + any additional modifiers .\ni changed it . i originally left out the 10 so the transvolutionist could make very safe transformations with a mutability dc of 0 , to ensure the hybrids survival . 10 + works better though .\nrandom traits ? : why are these traits even randomized ? why not just make it based on the alignment table ? always being a + 2 towards that direction , usually being a + 1 towards that direction and so on and so forth .\ni ' m not sure what you mean here . could you reexplain this please ?\nthis is very true , i ' ll make it clear that it ' s optional . in my experimentation when creating the system , the appearance was always the most interesting part , so it felt important while writing it . mechanics are of course the core of the game , but blending a rat a human to make a pathetic hairless thing with the body of a man , but useless rat limbs , a human head but the face of a rat , only able to squeak , but with all the intelligence of a child , that ' s cool too .\ntrnv 231 : equivalent allocation : this is interesting , but i don ' t understand why you would create something called\nshift points\nfor this . quite honestly , you could just make it say that you can move a number of ability scores points from one to another equal to 1 / 10th of the handle animal check used for it .\ni should probably concede that you know what ' s best , but your system would act as a free buff , while the current version is an interesting give and take . you can give up some mutability for some extra control , or you can improve your creatures , but at cost of losing move hybrids .\non the topic of using handle animal , i concede that your association with it for this discipline means that i will change psychomantics skill to use psionic device . i do this for the reasons that i believe that there should never be a discipline sharing a skill with another discipline , however in the future i do believe that there will be sub - disciplines ( principles within principles ) .\ndon ' t change it on my account , i just changed the skill to control shape , as was recommended .\noddly , i saw 349 and 231 as too similar , but 280 is very important . the ability to guarantee a feature is some much needed control for the transvolutionist , and makes hybridizing yourself viable for the first time ."]}

and moderate - income residents afford energy .\nwe are hosting a webinar tomorrow at 2pm edt about best practices for low - income energy efficiency programs , with an emphasis on increasing both access to and . . .\nthe public utility commission has delegated to the department of public service the responsibility to evaluate , measure , and verify services offered and savings claimed by the energy efficiency utilities .\nnew since 2015 is the passage of act 56 of 2015 , which creates a renewable energy standard in vermont . it creates an energy transformation obligation for electric distribution utilities , in which they must produce an increasing amount of fossil fuel use reductions attributable to their customers . they may meet the obligation through the use of more efficient heating systems ( such as heat pumps ) or through building weatherization , or even the use of more efficient or electric vehicles . the obligations begin in 2017 with an amount equivalent to 2 % of the utility ' s sales , rising to 10 % by 2032 .\nreleased by veic in 2017 , the vermont solar pathways summary report considers challenges and barriers to solar deployment and how they can be overcome . the report considers solar growth as a part of total energy rather than in isolation , which means it includes related technologies\u2014such as heat pumps and electric vehicles\u2014and the effects of those fuel switches . it also explores how solar will change the dispatch of electricity generation . key report highlights include :\nfor natural gas , esa and ccp participants can access a percentage of the funds paid into the veeuf to undertake approved energy efficiency measures . for smeep electric , an eligible customer must demonstrate that it has a comprehensive energy management program with annual objectives or demonstrate that it has achieved certification of iso standard 14001 . they then provide a report to the public service board ( psb ) detailing the measures undertaken , estimated savings and related costs . these reports are then reviewed and approved by the psb . the esa is run through the efficiency vermont program and related savings are reported and verified through the savings verification mechanism . for ccp , eligible customers must be iso 14001 - certified and meet several conditions similar to energy star for industrial facilities . savings are then verified through existing mechanisms .\nthe state ' s two ious ( electric and natural gas ) are decoupled through an alternative regulation structure . green mountain power is decoupled through a power cost adjustment and an earnings sharing mechanism . vermont gas is also decoupled through an earnings sharing mechanism .\nthe public utility commission website has comprehensive information regarding the regulation of the energy efficiency utilties , including links to ongoing and historical proceedings to set budgets , performance targets , and more .\nthe cap on the annual budget was set at $ 17 . 5 million until 2005 , when legislation removed the cap . the current psb - ordered energy efficiency budgets are as follows :\nvermont does not have any state programs in place to incentivize the creation of low - income housing near transit facilities , but it does consider the proximity of transit facilities when distributing federal low - income housing tax credits to qualifying property owners . last updated : july 2017\nunder a contract with the u . s . department of energy , veic begins to provide technical assistance to municipalities across the u . s . , completing more than 200 projects in four years .\nveic co - founder blair hamilton passes away after fighting a 20 - year battle with cancer . in his honor , veic creates the blair hamilton memorial fund for innovation in energy efficiency and social justice .\nin addition , as part of the vermont action plan associated with the multi - state zev mou , the state will \u201cestablish goals to ensure that a minimum of 25 percent of new light - duty state fleet purchases and leases , for applicable uses , will be zevs by 2025 . \u201d\nwhen entering into a new lease agreement or amending an existing lease agreement in which bgs will not be responsible for paying the utility bills , the lease agreement will reflect the landlord\u2019s responsibility to make all energy usage data available to bgs for the term of the lease . bgs will reserve the right to sub - meter in multi - tenant spaces to obtain state only energy usage data if it is beneficial to the state .\nstakeholder advisory group : the state began working with northeast energy efficiency partnerships to form a building code collaborative in 2014 . the group held its first meeting in 2015 and meets a minimum of four times a year ."]}

channel recording , and the switch from analogue to digital . van gelder embraced them all , although his clients were often resistant to new methods .\namong these was the saxophonist gil melle , whose recording was eventually issued on the small progressive label . melle was subsequently taken up by blue note , whose co - owner and recording director , alfred lion , asked the studio he normally used to reproduce van gelder\u2019s sound for melle\u2019s new record . after several attempts , the engineer told lion : \u201c ' look , i can\u2019t get that sound . you\u2019d better go to the guy that did it in the first place . \u201d\nto my ear , van gelder\u2019s tenor sax sound has a tone that is thin and top - heavy in comparison , while on dowd\u2019s recording of giant step s , the piano sound is much clearer and more natural sounding , with a better balance overall .\n\u201cthe session was hypnotic , exciting and different . but i didn\u2019t realize that until i remastered the tapes many years later . when coltrane was here , i was too worried about capturing the music , \u201d van gelder recalled in his 2012 interview with myers .\nin 2009 van gelder received an a . b spellman nea jazz masters award for jazz advocacy . the smithsonian\u2019s jazz oral history program will be interviewing him in the coming months to take an extraordinarily in -

based jazz recording engineer who died on 25 august aged 91 , was an anomaly . there aren ' t many veterans of the recording industry with a similarly impressive list of credits who would claim not to listen to the music because they ' re focusing on the sound of a session . marc myers w rites ,\nhe never developed much of a passion for the music , despite being an ear - witness to some of jazz greatest studio performances . rudy simply didn ' t have the time to become a pure fan given how much he had to get right with the studio ' s technology on his sessions . as rudy put it , he didn ' t have the luxury of listening for enjoyment .\narchitect of luxury | after finishing his studies , erik\u2019s interest in outdoor design and garden aesthetics exploded . he gained relevant experience in national and international landscape architecture . as he was keen to leave his mark , he established his own design studio : vgdesign .\nso it\u2019s natural , now , to look for some trace of mr . van gelder in the brilliant recordings he made , either at his first home studio in hackensack , n . j . , or at his second , in nearby englewood cliffs . it\u2019s natural , and it\u2019s also maddening , because so much of what he did was intangible . you hear it , you feel it , but his signature was etched in invisible ink . what is it , exactly , that you\u2019re listening for ? naturalism ? warmth ? the sound of a room ?\nother producers and engineers , particularly from gelder ' s generation , rarely claim to put anything other than the music at the top of their priority list . whether he truly heard things differently or was simply being more honest than his peers , gelder ' s recording philosophy is refreshing .\nthe idea of listening to old tapes that i made , another chance to transfer them . . . this is my opportunity to present my version of how things should sound ,\nvan gelder said in a 2011 interview with blue note .\nwhat a great job this is .\nhe also took an unusual route into the industry . an optometrist by trade and a notoriously reticent character , gelder famously twilighted on a home recording setup in his parents ' hackensack living room . as more and more artists of repute went to work with him , these sessions gradually took over his daytime until he was working full time for labels like blue note , prestige and vox records . whereas most practitioners would learn their craft through studio - based apprenticeships \u2013 watching their mentors operate tape machines , consoles and disc cutters and working as part of a sizeable in - house team \u2013 van gelder began his recording education in solitude , reading much of the domestic recording literature aimed at the amateur market .\nfinally , another sentimental offering . many of mr . hutcherson\u2019s finest recordings were made with mr . van gelder behind the controls . \u201cout to lunch , \u201d the 1964 album by the multireedist eric dolphy , is full of these moments . listen to how well the recording captures mr . hutcherson\u2019s muted clangs and chiming overtones \u2014 along with the bleats , harrumphs and gargles of mr . dolphy\u2019s bass clarinet , and the deep gravitas of richard davis\u2019s bass . there\u2019s a quintet on this track , but on some level you\u2019d have to credit mr . van gelder as an essential member of the band .\n\u201calfred liked the way i made things sound so he put me on his team and from then on i was working for him doing albums , \u201d van gelder recalled in a 2008 interview for the national endowment for the arts , which named him a jazz master , the nation\u2019s highest jazz honor .\nafter lion retired in 1967 , the label\u2019s new owners began turning to other recording engineers more frequently . in the 1970s , van gelder worked as the engineer for producer creed taylor\u2019s commercially successful crossover jazz label , cti , recording such albums as trumpeter freddie hubbard\u2019s red clay and saxophonist grover washington jr\u2019s mister magic .\nvan gelder was notoriously secretive about his recording techniques . \u201ci ' ll tell you this , \u201d he said to marc myers , \u201c i used neumann condenser mikes before anyone else did . i bought one of the first ones sold here . they were extremely sensitive and warm - sounding .\ninterestingly , he said that he never experimented with new equipment on blue note recording sessions . when he bought a new microphone or other equipment , he would test them on other sessions where the producers were less particular . van gelder embraced digital recording and believed the cause of poor digital sound was inadequate recording and mixing techniques .\nthe artists that van gelder is most famous for working with however , such as coleman hawkins , dizzy gillespie , charlie parker , art tatum , and miles davis amongst many others , are the pioneers of smaller jazz ensembles in contrast to the much larger ( and much better financed ) jazz \u201cbig bands\u201d of that era .\n\u201csome musicians sounded more real on your recordings than they would in a club , \u201d the pianist and writer ben sidran ventured in 1985 in a rare interview with mr . van gelder , who seemed to agree . he replied , \u201ca great photographer will really create his image , and not just capture a particular situation . \u201d\nvan gelder ' s early attraction to recording began as a child when he purchased a three dollar home recording device that was advertised on the back of a comic book and came with a turntable and blank recording discs . he became involved with amateur radio as a teenager which led to an interest in microphones and electronics . when asked about his interest in jazz , van gelder said \u201cwell , that started right from the very beginning , even when i was a kid . that was the music i loved . when i\u2019d buy records , i\u2019d ask the people who made the ones i liked most what kind of microphones they used . the microphones mattered . \u201d\nevocatively called nowness , the first publication set the tone for the institute\u2019s new focus under the guidance of arets . gelder went to chicago to speak with the dean and draw from the structure of the canonical building by mies van der rohe that houses the university ; he used its shape and arets\u2019 theories to inform the editorial layout .\nvan gelder\u2019s sound \u2013 self - effacingly warm , natural and crystal clear \u2013 displayed musicians to their best advantage while scrupulously observing the tonal perspective of the jazz ensemble . above all , he could capture that element in a player\u2019s sound which conveyed his musical personality . his role in coltrane\u2019s career , especially , was of incalculable importance from this point of view .\ni have been dreading the day i would hear this news . but it\u2019s true , rudy van gelder ( rvg ) has died at the age of 91 . he became legendary , but started out recording late - night sessions in his parents\u2019 living room in the early 1950\u2019s while attending optometry school by day . thank goodness he didn\u2019t pursue an optometry career !\nthe beginnings of a master van gelder caught the recording bug at an early age . at seven he was already in the experimenting with sound using his first piece of equipment , a $ 2 . 98 \u201chome recorder , \u201d to capture his friends\u2019 voices , family\u2019s poetry , and neighbors\u2019 music . in 1931 that equipment was cutting edge . the home recording device used a tone arm and needle to press grooves into a blank plastic record . the sounds recorded on these blank disks could be played back and listened to using the same turntable on which they were recorded . however , van gelder quickly grew tired of the deficiencies of the recording equipment available , and ordered parts from radio equipment manufacturers to make his own recording gear .\nthe list of recordings upon which van gelder participated is simply staggering . he was engineer for the prestige recordings of miles davis ' s first great quintet featuring john coltrane , red garland , paul chambers and philly joe jones , as well as for numerous other prestige dates . in addition to the immense number and consistently excellent quality of releases by blue note , for impulse records he recorded john coltrane , including \u201ca love supreme\u201d , gil evans , oliver nelson and ray charles ( genius + soul = jazz ) ; and the list of companies recording at the studio for over five decades has also included verve , riverside , cti , grp , muse and the classical label , vox .\ni would say they learned how to record jazz together ,\nsays south orange ' s t . s . monk , the son of the jazz legend and an esteemed jazz drummer in his own right .\nhe really , really got it right . you can list to a rudy van gelder from the 1950s that sounds like it was recorded today .\nvan gelder , a lifelong new jerseyan , recorded quintessential albums of the genre : john coltrane ' s\nblue train\nand\na love supreme ,\nmiles davis '\nworkin '\nand\nsteamin ' ,\nthelonious monk ' s\nmonk ,\nart blakey & the jazz messengers '\nmoanin ' ,\nand lee morgan ' s\nthe sidewinder .\ni recall that npr personality susan stamberg once visited van gelder\u2019s famous englewood cliffs new jersey studio , and immediately clapped her hands to get the studio\u2019s base acoustic . you then heard a voice telling , or rather ordering , her to stop ! telling the imperious susan stamberg to stop ! i loved it ! rudy also made many people wonder where englewood cliffs , n . j . even was . there are pictures of it in the blue note book , with its pointed cathedral ceilings with wood specially sourced from a forest in oregon per rudy\u2019s specifications . when it was being constructed , neighbors didn\u2019t know what it was , many thinking it was a church . in a musical sense , it was . there\u2019s also a picture of the home\u2019s exterior on the interior spread of sonny rollins\u2019 album sonny rollins on impulse , with sonny\u2019s karman - ghia parked outside . you get a good sense of rvg\u2019s great blue note sessions in the francis wolff photo book . wolff , co - founder of blue note and like alfred lion an emigr\u00e9 from hitler\u2019s germany , took photos of all the recording sessions .\nthe title for the first mainstream american hit record in jazz belongs to dave brubeck\u2019s take five , which emerged from this system . it was recorded in columbia\u2019s 30th street recording studios 5 , 500 square foot church , with its 60 foot hight ceilings . featuring a mighty and memorable solo by joe morello , the sound quality here is astounding , and becomes even more so when compared to van gelder\u2019s recordings from around the same time .\nan established optometrist with an office in teaneck , van gelder had a sideline recording friends and local musicians in his parents ' house . ( his parents eventually added a separate entrance to their bedroom to avoid walking in on the recording sessions , he told the wall street journal in 2012 .\nmy parents and the neighbors never complained . only once my mother left me a note asking me to do a better job tidying up .\n)\nrecording in a living room was miles away from recording in one of the few major studios at the time . pianist bill taylor said in an interview with current musicology that rudy \u201cwas the first engineer that i worked with who was that sensitive , and really just took time and cared about mike placement and all that sort of stuff . \u201d van gelder\u2019s technical innovations are inextricably linked to his love for jazz . musicians appreciated this duality , and so did record producers .\nthe first comes from \u201cblue train , \u201d the 1958 album by the saxophonist john coltrane . mr . van gelder\u2019s more celebrated work with coltrane came later , with \u201ca love supreme , \u201d on the impulse ! label . but what you hear on \u201cmoment\u2019s notice , \u201d which was taped to two - track mono , shows how he could evoke a band\u2019s sound in physical space . notice the transition between solos , especially from lee morgan\u2019s swashbuckling trumpet to paul chambers\u2019s bowed bass .\nplus , it ' s nice to get away from the hassle of the big cities . a lot of people can be more creative and relaxed out in the middle of no where . it could have been the room as well . he had pitched ceilings , which most recordings studios don ' t have , so it might have created an interesting studio sound while they are playing . live but intimate is my guess .\nit so happens that mr . van gelder died on wayne shorter\u2019s 83rd birthday . that coincidence sent me immediately to my vinyl reissue of \u201cspeak no evil , \u201d which mr . shorter recorded in 1964 . ( it was released on blue note in 1966 . ) one thing i\u2019ve always loved about the sound of this track is the way that herbie hancock\u2019s piano ( silvery , crisp ) plays against elvin jones\u2019s drums and cymbals ( earthy , dark ) , while perfectly supporting the horns .\na lot of the appeal was that it was a residence and totally devoted to music as art rather than to pop music and commercials which were the bread and butter of the major studios . this meant that the musicians didn ' t have to worry about what impression they ' d make on studio personnel , didn ' t have to worry about the musicians ' union and didn ' t have to worry about anybody using drugs .\ni wrote a blog post a few years ago , comparing rudy to cartier - bresson and the joy they both brought to my life . with all the compression modern recordings get to stuff the music into mobile devices , rudy van gelder is to be treasured even more . his recordings show utmost respect for the timeless music he recorded , doing the artists proud . thank goodness rvg was so prolific over a six - decade career . we jazz lovers , we audiophiles , are truly grateful .\nthe best , most holistic , and organic identity systems are often the ones where a design team and a client have a long - standing relationship , allowing an initial concept to strengthen and become more immersive over time . for amsterdam\u2019s main studio , an agency with consistently strong work for the architecture industry that we\u2019ve championed on eye on design many times before , systems become even more powerful and effective when they have the chance to mature .\nmr . van gelder was also the sonic mastermind behind cti records , creed taylor\u2019s stylish crossover label . the sound of these albums was warm and luxurious , and while there are many tracks to choose from , my instinctual pick would be the title track of \u201cred clay , \u201d the hit 1970 album by the trumpeter freddie hubbard . it has a jumping - out - of - your - speakers tenor saxophone solo by joe henderson , along with a neon - funky rhythm section : mr . hancock on electric piano , ron carter on electric bass , lenny white on drums ."]}

the japanese normally make up almost 90 % of the tourists . however , guam tourism is branching out to attract people from other asian countries such as taiwan , south korea and china . most food and industrial goods are imported . the possibility of a large military buildup has generated a lot of interest in increasing the tourist facilities on the island .\n737 - 700 : united has 40 737 - 700s in its fleet . four of these 40 aircraft are currently based out in guam . the - 700s recently began receiving slimline seats in economy , as well as the new first class seats . united will be working on these seat changes throughout the year . so far , only one aircraft ( n13718 \u2022 msn 28937 \u2022 ln 185 ) already features these modifications .\nat about 4 , 000 miles west of hawaii , and 2 , 200 miles southeast of north korea , guam is on the edge of u . s . power in the pacific . its combined navy and air force installation , joint region marianas , is the home port for nuclear submarines , a contingent of special operations forces and the launching point of flights for strategic bombers conducting rotational flights over japanese territories and in the korean peninsula .\nbuses are available , but the frequency at which they operate is very unpredictable , you may end up waiting 2 + hours for a bus . the guam public transportation system is generally known to be unreliable and slow . as of december 2016 , there has been an improvement - - bus drivers have cell phones and there are inspectors . it is a cheap way to travel around the island if you do not want to bother with car rental .\nsome time after governor moscoso ' s term , on september 7 , 1871 , they left to the philippines aboard the mail ship maria del rosario ( levesque , 2004 : 474 ) . maria ' s sister ana also accompanied them ;

list stars , has some wondering where the family ' s money came from .\naccording to u . s . sen . roger wicker ( r - mississippi ) , after leaving the russian government in 2009 , lesin\nmoved his immediate family to los angeles , california , where he acquired multiple residences at a cost of over $ 28 million .\nin a letter sent to attorney general eric holder last month , wicker requested a department of justice investigation into whether lesin ' s real estate purchases were part of violations of the foreign corrupt practices act or anti - money laundering statutes .\nthat a russian public servant could have amassed the considerable funds required to acquire and maintain these assets \u2026 raises serious questions ,\nwicker wrote .\nreal estate purchases are just one aspect of lesin ' s family ' s business interests in los angeles . since last year , lesin ' s son , anton lessine , has produced four major hollywood movies with stars including arnold schwarzenegger , brad pitt , shia labeouf , and woody allen .\non aug . 1 , radio free europe ' s luke johnson and carl schreck published a report on wicker ' s request for a probe into lesin ' s finances . citing documents provided by the senator ' s office , the report noted evidence that lesin and his son had linked business interests . according to radio free europe , lesin bought three properties in the los angeles area . one of these was a 13 , 000 - square - foot beverly hills home purchased by dastel corporation for $ 13 . 8 million in august 2011 . records show lessine was a corporate officer of the company . radio free europe also identified a corporation in which lesin ' s daughter , ekaterina lesina , was an officer , which purchased a $ 5 . 6 million beverly hills home in 2012 . ( despite the different surnames , business insider has confirmed these family relationships . )\ncritics say the lesin family fortune is troubling because putin and his cronies have a reputation for corruption \u2014 illegally enriching themselves and spiriting their wealth out of russia .\nputin and his inner circle have enriched themselves through the seizure of private assets , using dubious legal maneuvers , coercion , and intimidation ,\nsaid a senior capitol hill aide who spoke to business insider about lesin .\nironically , even putin ' s cronies know that they too may fall out of favor . as such , tens of billions of dollars are cloistered and concealed in banks and investments throughout the world .\nthe modus operandi of putin ' s corrupt inner circle has been to siphon the money out of russia and into their foreign accounts and foreign assets ,\nnoted vladimir kara - murza , a member of the federal council of the people ' s freedom party , an opposition party in russia . that way , he added , the funds were\ncompletely closed from any scrutiny\ninside russia . he says these tactics are the reason the u . s . government has attempted to sanction top members of putin ' s regime and their business associates .\ndespite the concerns about russian officials ' getting their money into the u . s . , lesin ' s son , anton lessine , has managed to invest in some very high - profile projects .\narnold schwarzenegger at the los angeles premiere of\nsabotage\non march 19 .\nthese projects boasted some serious star power .\nfading gigolo\nstarred john turturro and woody allen .\nsabotage\nfeatured arnold schwarzenegger as an elite dea agent . brad pitt starred in\nfury\nand also executive produced the movie along with lessine .\nlessine could not be reached for comment for this article . ilya tsipis , who has a linkedin page describing him as the president of dastel corporation and is listed in records as the company ' s registered agent , did not respond to a request for comment . business insider also attempted to call lessine ' s sister , without success . lessine ' s father , putin ' s former media czar , could not be reached for comment .\nlessine is hardly the first person with controversial foreign connections to be drawn to the movie business in hollywood . saadi qaddafi , the son of the late former libyan dictator muammar qaddafi , enjoyed a short - lived stint as a movie producer before his father was deposed in a bloody revolution . earlier this year , la weekly published a lengthy report documenting the backgrounds of producers remington chase and stefan martirosian , which included\nconvictions for cocaine trafficking ; ties to the russian oil business , the armenian government , and the african diamond trade . . . stints as federal informants ,\nand alleged links to a contract killing in moscow .\npeter newman , who heads the joint mba / mfa graduate program at the tisch school of the arts at nyu and has produced more than 30 films including 2005 ' s\nthe squid and the whale ,\ntold business insider that\ndumb money ,\nor financing from inexperienced investors who are new to the industry , has a long and colorful history in hollywood . given the difficult economic climate , newman said , the industry ' s appetite for such financing had only increased in recent years .\nthe major studios at present really would rather not develop , produce , or finance motion pictures ,\nhe said .\nthey ' d rather do it off balance sheets , because the economics of making movies , especially big movies , just are very , very dicey .\nthe studio is basically saying , ' deliver the movie with such and such , and such and such , and we ' ll pay this much to promote it in the united states . ' but they ' re not really getting their hands dirty ,\nnewman said .\nliana liberato , who starred in\nhaunt ,\nwhich was produced by anton lessine .\nfor larger movies made outside the studio system , newman said , it is especially important to have cash up front to secure an a - lister .\nthe agencies basically say , ' if you want a brad pitt , or a bruce willis , or whatever . . . there has to be $ 20 million in the bank ,\nnewman said .\nthis star power is critical because these movies need to guarantee foreign box office to secure further financing . a proven , marquee name is the best way to do this .\nthese projects you ' re talking about are really large independent films that the studios handle the u . s . distribution of , and the equation is usually , there is a foreign sales agent selling territories ,\nnewman said .\ngiven this system , it ' s not hard to see why people with cash to burn \u2014 whatever their backgrounds \u2014 are so popular with movie production companies . and the financiers benefit as well : in addition to the chance to clean up their money , an association with a global celebrity can help otherwise controversial figures add some shine to their reputations .\nthe economics of filmmaking itself are so dicey , and then you add in the vanity factor of people wanting to be around famous people and attractive people ,\nnewman said .\nit ' s sort of a deadly chemical mix that has been around for a long time and will continue to happen as long as there ' s a film business .\nfurthermore , in his decades of making movies , newman says he has seen few checks and balances that are likely to keep hollywood ' s hands off dirty money .\nobservationally , i really have seen very little vetting going on ,\nnewman said .\nyou know , the only vetting that goes on in hollywood is , does the check clear ?\nthere is no evidence that lesin ' s money came from corruption . but the suggestion that putin ' s inner circle has a reputation for making money through less - than - legal means and getting that cash out of the country is well established . furthermore , as wicker said in his letter requesting the investigation , the\nconsiderable\nsums used by lesin for his real estate transactions seem questionable for a\npublic servant .\nlesin ' s son ' s filmmaking activities would seem to raise similar issues . that the two have linked business dealings is already clear in the case of one real estate property . additionally , lessine does not seem to have any history of involvement in film financing or other major business deals in the u . s . prior to his father ' s departure from the kremlin and subsequent spending spree in la ' s real estate market .\nlesin ' s critics in washington say that without forceful government intervention , corrupt money spirited out of putin ' s russia will continue to be laundered in the u . s .\nmeanwhile , lessine ' s forthcoming production ,\nfury ,\nopens oct . 17 .\nthree weeks before the opening of the toronto film festival , media content capital and veteran film exec paul hanson are launching covert media to produce , finance and distribute three to four films a year .\nthe films will carry budgets in the $ 10 million to $ 50 million range , which is less popular with the six major studios , given their focus on tentpoles and franchises .\nhe will serve as co -

media , the largest tv and media company in russia ( which is in part owned by the russian government ) . gazprom operates ntv television and ekho moskvy radio , among other properties .\nwhen he resigned , lessin told russian media it was for \u201cfamily reasons . \u201d\nlesin reportedly moved his family to the u . s . around 2011 and soon acquired over $ 30 million worth of residential real estate , mostly in california .\nin july 2014 , u . s . senator roger wicker ( r -

distance canadian routes between cities such as toronto , ottawa , montreal , calgary and vancouver , as well as to some holiday destinations in the usa and mexico such as fort lauderdale , seattle , tampa and mexico city .\nthe airline ' s name is short for\ntan and go\n, which is in reference to the southern winter destinations that were initially planned to be served .\nthe airline was launched in november 2001 with a fleet of 12 airbus a320 and 9 boeing 737 - 200 aircraft , but by 2004 the airline had ceased flying .\nair canada retained\ntango\nas a brand name for their cheapest air fare category .\nair canada tango aircraft were configured in a full economy class layout rather than with a business class section as on regular air canada aircraft and featured a distinctive purple colour scheme .\nthis article is issued from wikipedia -

many missed flights , faced long delays , got bumped or lost their luggage .\nfeeling the heat from passengers and regulators alike , air canada president and chief executive officer robert milton appeared in a slick advertising campaign last summer , with a promise to give customers\nthe best possible service in the world\nwithin 180 days . he claims to have solved most of the problems well before his self - imposed deadline .\nlost in the plethora of media horror stories was the fallout from the merger on feeder agreements with both air canada and canadian and their regional partners . prior to consolidation , air canada and canadian had about 16 commercial agreements with smaller operators . today , there are eight codeshare agreements of different forms in place .\nthe main reason for the reduction is over - capacity - particularly in western canada , according to rick flynn , halifax - based vice - president , business development for air canada regional , the new entity bringing together all air canada ' s feeder partners . flynn says ,\nthe situation at the tier three level was not unlike what was happening at the mainline operations where you had too much capacity and overlapping service .\npresident les little is optimistic , however , about future opportunities to get back into scheduled service following a shakeout of the air canada and canadian merger .\ni would also love to set up some commercial tie with westjet ,\nlittle says .\npacific coastal airlines of vancouver was providing service to canadian regional airlines , but was dropped after air canada took over canadian airlines . it had purchased three shorts 360 aircraft specifically to fly the routes designated to it by canadian . all codeshare flights were transferred to air bc after its contract with canadian was cancelled and pacific coastal is suing air canada for breach of contract .\nour agreement with canadian represented about 30 % of our business and these new agreements don ' t represent anything near that ,\nsays pacific coastal ' s chief executive daryl smith .\nsunwest home aviation of calgary also took legal action against air canada after its codesharing agreement with canadian was cancelled . it had ordered four fairchild metro 23 aircraft to meet expanding route requirements and two had been delivered when air canada took over canadian . sunwest had been providing a wet - lease metro 23 to canadian since 1993 , but entered into a codesharing and risk - sharing agreement with the airline in 1999 before it all came apart five months later .\nalthough its agreement with canadian only represented about 15 % of its business , sunwest was financially on the hook for two metro 23s , having cancelled the two others on order .\nwe looked at various options such as carrying on , on our own , but there was nobody to connect to ,\nsays mark eberl , the company ' s managing director .\nwe looked at doing something similar with us carriers , but that also didn ' t work .\neberl even contacted westjet , but it was too busy building its own route structure to show much interest .\nwe don ' t fit their profile , because their clientele would save money by driving to calgary to catch a flight rather than hitch a ride on one of our aircraft .\neberl says the pain of\nbeing dropped like a hot potato\nby air canada has been eased slightly by the booming oil business , the primary focus of his charter operations .\nmeanwhile , air canada is busy uniting its regional carriers into a single brand whose name and logo is still under development , according to flynn . the plan is to launch the new brand by early autumn as part of a company - wide restructuring that has seen both the airline ' s aeroplan loyalty programme and its technical services operation spun off into separate units .\nthe regionals - air bc , air nova , air ontario and canadian regional airlines , the former canadian airlines regional feeder - have merged to become a wholly owned subsidiary of air canada . the combined entity has 5 , 000 employees and 132 aircraft , half of which are bombardier dash 8 - 100s . the rest of the fleet consists of 32 fokker f28 - 1000s , 19 dash 8 - 300s , 10 british aerospace 146s and five raytheon beech 1900ds .\nplans to expand or modernise the fleet are on hold as part of air canada ' s zero growth policy this year . and the different regionals must create a common bargaining unit for the entire fleet before moving ahead .\nwe ' re dealing with more complexities now than with the air canada and canadian merger , because there are over 30 different agreements in place ,\nsays flynn .\nit ' s like a moving target with no set deadline , but we want to get an agreement in place as soon as possible so we can move forward with fleet renewal and better labour and customer relations .\nthe regional airline ' s scope clause is extremely rigid as far as jet aircraft are concerned and is tied to the growth formula at the flagship carrier , which has a fleet of 239 aircraft , including 25 bombardier crj100s . as long as the mainline fleet stays at 239 aircraft , the regional division can continue to operate its jet aircraft . the scope clause restricts the number of jets , the size of the aircraft , the rate of transfer from air canada and the relative number of available seat miles that can be flown by the regional carrier . in addition , the carrier is limited to 55 - seat and 80 - seat turboprop aircraft . the number of jets it can operate is based on a floor of 39 jets , including the 10 bae 146s , with additions possible only if air canada adds aircraft of 100 seats plus .\nthe f28s are to be replaced by the crjs as long as new jet aircraft are introduced to the mainline fleet to replace them . since air canada announced no growth this year , however , the f28s can only be replaced by turboprops .\nthe eventual fleet renewal could lead to new opportunities for air canada in the regional carrier market , says flynn , noting that some of the partners have been approached to look at several different business arrangements .\nwith our regional expertise , we are actively seeking out opportunities for our excess capacity , notably the f28s , whether on a training basis or equity partnership with another carrier . it was never part of our business plan up to now , but it has been put on the agenda to research it further .\nonly twice in the first decade since the airbus a380 entered service has the double - deck aircraft ended a year with its order backlog higher than that of the previous one . on both occasions middle eastern carrier emirates alone had spared the programme from recording a duck for the year . emirates ordered 32 a380s in mid - 2010 and just eight days before the end of 2013 signed for another 50 of the type .\nlosing four geared turbofan engines to in - flight failures as a result of a botched durability upgrade was not how pratt & whitney wanted 2018 to begin quite the opposite .\nevidence -

de - beaupr\u00e9\u2014\u00eele - d ' orl\u00e9ans , bq ) : on a question of privilege , mr . chairman , i am raising section 117 of the points of order , which stipulates that the chair of a committee must maintain order in the committee and ensure that the proper procedure and practices are observed .\ni am also raising , mr . chairman , beauchesne ' s parliamentary rules and forms\n, 6th edition , in which point 75 deals with members ' freedom of speech . i will read you that point :\n75 . the privilege of freedom of speech is both the least questioned and the most fundamental right of the member of parliament on the floor of the house and in committee . it is primarily guaranteed in the british bill of rights which declared \u201cthat the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in parliament ought not be impeached or questioned in any court or place outside of parliament\u201d .\ni am also raising , mr . chairman , point 69 of beauchesne ' s parliamentary rules and forms ,\n69 . the speaker has reminded the house , \u201cit is very important . . . to indicate that something can be inflammatory , can be disagreeable , can even be offensive , but it may not be a question of privilege unless the comment actually impinges upon the ability of members of parliament to do their job properly . \u201d\n\u2022 1540 i answered that i had a job to do , that i was doing this job to the best of my abilities , with my talents and my failings , but also with my heart , that i felt threatened by him , that i had a right to speak here , in parliament , because we live in a democracy and i had been sent here by citizens who trusted in me to represent them as well as any one of us .\ni told him that , in a democracy , voters can change their representatives every four years if they ' re not satisfied with their work , unlike senators who are appointed as a political reward .\ni went to see the security guards with this individual . i asked him to identify himself . he was wearing a blue card issued by the house security service with the name scott bradley on it .\nwhile all this was going on , ms . parrish arrived . i asked her if she had witnessed the threats he made against me and she said no , she hadn ' t .\nthe security guard i met went to get his immediate superior and all the notes were recorded . at the moment , an inquiry is being carried out .\ntoday at noon , i went to see the sergeant - at - arms cloutier and indicated to him that i would be raising this question of privilege and that it was up to you to decide , as committee chairman .\nmr . chairman , considering the facts i ' ve presented , considering the parliamentary law applicable in these cases , i would ask that you ensure my safety as a member of parliament and that you continue to recognize my right to speak , as you have always done , mr . chairman . i would like to repeat that i am not criticizing your chairmanship . whether you agree with the comments i make or not , you have always conducted the work of this parliamentary committee with a master ' s hand , but i am telling you that my rights have been violated and i am afraid that other people will threaten and intimidate us .\nthe chair : mr . guimond raises a very important point , a point that we must , individually or as a collective , respect , and that is the ability to sit in a committee . we also have the privilege of being protected by the house of commons , because this committee and any committee of the house of commons is an extension of the house of commons .\nwe must be able to do our job to the best of our ability , and if that means asking questions that we feel are important and might not be to the liking of a particular individual who might be watching these proceedings , that ' s too bad , because quite frankly , we have a job to do .\ni don ' t care if it ' s a member of any opposition party or my colleagues on the government side . i have to remain as neutral as i can as chair and protect the integrity and the abilities of every member of this committee to express their views , ask the questions , and get to the point of whatever it is they want to do with the witness .\n\u2022 1545 mr . guimond , when i left the committee this afternoon , i was told of the altercation out front\u2014the altercation of words ; let ' s make that clear . the first thing i did on your behalf , as i would on anyone ' s behalf as a member of this committee , is i had a discussion with mr . cloutier as well . i have asked for , and mr . cloutier has supplied us with , a security guard outside this door so that , for your security and the security of all members , when the committee meeting is concluded and you want to leave , you can leave without fear of being harassed .\nwe all know there ' s a bit of a game that happens here in ottawa . it ' s an art form . we walk out of question period , and even the door coming out of question period is jammed with cameras and reporters , and everyone is trying to get their clip from the latest hot member of parliament or cabinet minister , and in the case of a committee , the latest witness who happens to be on the hot seat at that moment . so there ' s a scrum , and scrums can be very difficult to get through .\nat times witnesses and the friends of witnesses who sit behind our witnesses will get as tempered as we do sometimes , except we have the right to be tempered , sitting here to ask the questions . quite frankly , after the fact , if they want to have a discussion , they can come up to us and have a discussion . we hope that discussion is always done in a non - hostile manner .\nunfortunately , in this circumstance , i have heard it didn ' t happen that way .\nmr . guimond , i hope you ' ll take some solace in the fact that i have spoken with the sergeant - at - arms , mr . gus cloutier . a security guard will , from this day forward until the end of these hearings , be posted outside this door so as to make sure you can come and go without any harassment .\non the matter of asking this individual to no longer be admitted into the committee room , i too would like to have a discussion with this individual , from the perspective of being a chair , to point out to him that he went over the line in the opinion of one of my members of this committee . i would like to see what this individual does first . from what you have told me\u2014and i don ' t have both sides of the story quite yet\u2014i would expect that if there were no witnesses . . . i am familiar with this individual , and i am probably 90 % sure this individual will get in contact with you in one way or another to express an apology .\ni hope that goes some distance in satisfying your point of order with us this afternoon . mr . guimond , do you have anything to add ?\nwe apologize to the witnesses for the interruption . it was obviously a necessary one .\nmr . smith , when you ' re comfortable , we would like to hear your presentation on behalf of westjet .\n\u2022 1550 why has westjet been successful when other airlines have not been ? there are a number of factors , but primarily it comes down to our people . westjet invests heavily in its people , and as a result they provide us with a low - cost structure where we average approximately 65 employees per aircraft versus the two major carriers , who currently employ between 140 and 170 employees per aircraft . in addition , our people give us a customer service for which we are renowned and which really is the reason people continue to come back to westjet .\nwestjet fares are , on average , approximately one - half of those charged by the major carriers , and none of our fares have any saturday night stay requirements in them . we are the true low - cost carrier .\nwestjet ' s marketing philosophy is not to garner market share , but rather we grow the marketplace in which we serve . in 1997 , when westjet had only seven aircraft compared with 1995 , which was before we had started , we had seen our marketplace grow an average of 150 % . now that we are up to 13 aircraft we believe the stimulation is much greater than that . prior to our arrival , markets would grow an average of approximately 3 % per year , for comparison ' s sake .\nfrom the financial results posted by air canada , the three publicly traded charter airlines , some regional carriers and ourselves , which all appear to be relatively healthy , we can only draw the conclusion that the airline industry in canada is not broken .\nfirst , we request that there not be any reregulation of the industry in canada . we believe this is wrong and definitely not called for .\nsecond , assuming that one of the current offers is successful , we will end up with one major carrier in canada . westjet is very pro competition . we were born in an era of competition . we will thrive in an era of competition . while we do not believe we compete with the major carriers , any restructuring or consolidation in the airline industry would be extremely favourable to westjet . we become a viable alternative to the major airlines as their frequency on routes decreases and ours increases .\nwe do have a problem , however , if one carrier controlling approximately 90 % of the airline industry in canada is free to do whatever they want in terms of current or potential competition . you can imagine what would happen if a carrier were to control the high - fare market and also decided to get into the low - fare marketplace . there would be very few if any openings for future competition .\n\u2022 1555 in addition , it would allow this new large entity to cross - subsidize its low - fare operation from an obviously profitable high - fare operation that would have no competition .\nas a result , we are asking transport canada , along with the competition bureau , to ensure that a framework of competition is built into any single carrier proposal .\nwe have seen a letter from mr . konrad von finckenstein , commissioner of competition , to the hon . david collenette , minister of transport , with respect to some ideas into which we had some input , and we are supportive of many of the ideas contained in that letter .\nwestjet believes we live in an efficient economy and as a result we must allow competition and the forces in that efficient economy to occur .\nobviously this does not guarantee that every company that exists will always exist , and in fact i will suggest to you that would only see a regeneration of the airline industry if there were some dramatic change to the current existing scenario .\nin addition , there has been some comment about allowing foreign airlines to operate on domestic routes . while once again westjet is pro competition , without reciprocal agreements in other countries we do not believe this makes sense for canada , and in particular not for westjet .\nwithout the ability to respond to foreign carriers who may decide to set up service on canadian routes , it can create an unequal playing field in which we could find it very difficult to compete .\nfrom my speech , i would like you to take the following . first , westjet has been doing , and continues to do , extremely well . this morning we released our third - quarter results and on a margin basis we are one of the top profitable airlines in north america , if not the top profitable airline , on a margin basis , in north america .\nsecondly , we believe there ' s a problem with one player in the industry .\nthird , while westjet will do well with any restructuring or consolidation , if we end up with one dominant carrier , we would ask the competition bureau and transport canada to ensure that we have a competitive , fair , and equitable airline industry .\nwe would ask that the concept of reregulation not be considered , and we do not support the ability for foreign - owned carriers to operate in canada without reciprocal agreements .\nthe chair : thank you , mr . smith . we appreciate that , and all within the 10 minutes too , which is terrific .\nmr . harvey friesen ( president , bearskin airlines ) : mr . chairman , honourable members of parliament , and ladies and gentlemen , i ' d like to thank you for the opportunity to make a presentation to the transportation committee at this time .\nbearskin airlines , or our corporate name , bearskin lake air service , will celebrate its 37th anniversary in july 2000 . bearskin airlines ' roots are deep in the soil of northern ontario , and the company has come a long way since its founding on july 17 , 1963 .\nat present , bearskin airlines operates a fleet of 26 aircraft under a variety of schedule , charter , and contract services . bearskin airlines is northern ontario ' s hometown airline and its largest commuter airline .\nin 1999 the company will carry more than 200 , 000 passengers to 38 destinations on almost 200 scheduled departures daily . bearskin is also a charter carrier in the region , providing services to government , corporate , and private interest groups .\nbearskin ' s scheduled network extends from flin flon , the pas , and winnipeg in the west , to sudbury , north bay , and ottawa in the east , and as far north as peawanuck and fort severn on the hudson bay coast .\nour current marketing agreement with air canada ' s connector carrier , air ontario , provides for our participation in the aeroplan frequent flyer program as well as joint fares with air canada .\naffiliation with air canada provides for a number of marketing tools that enable the red camp to be more competitive than they could be individually . wholly owned subsidiaries and some of the privately owned carriers participate in code sharing with air canada .\nall airlines in the red camp are offered participation in the aeroplan frequent flyer program , as well as through fares or joint fares . these airlines also endeavour to facilitate connections between each other at the hub airports , providing a seamless service for passengers and baggage that make multiple connections .\nglobally , air canada is aligned with other carriers in the star alliance , including lufthansa , united airlines , sas , and other carriers . the benefits to these member carriers are similar to those outlined above .\nthe blue camp includes scheduled air carriers aligned with canadian airlines international and includes wholly owned subsidiaries like canadian regional , as well as privately owned carriers like ontario regional , inter - canadien , and calm air , in which canadian has a part interest .\nglobally , canadian airlines is aligned with other carriers in the oneworld alliance , including american airlines , british airways , and other carriers . the benefits to members of this alliance are similar to those outlined in the red camp and star alliance partners .\nunaffiliated carriers include scheduled and charter carriers who have remained independent , like westjet , canada 3000 , royal aviation , and others . most of these carriers serve only larger markets on a point - to - point basis . although these carriers can be and are competitive in the markets they serve , they are unable to compete effectively in a true global sense .\nwithin the current environment , wholly owned subsidiaries of either the red or blue camp can receive specific direction in terms of markets served or fares charged . privately owned affiliated carriers are free to do as they like , although policies that are not endorsed by the major carriers could have negative effects on their relationship .\nbearskin airlines prides itself on being a canadian airline , and , as an operator and business owner in this country , we would not like to see any changes that would effectively place control of our industry out of the hands of canadians .\nthere has been much said about the impact of job losses and layoffs , and again , comments have been made on minimizing this impact by expansion and attrition . for independents our size , the concern is , will this expansion to reduce layoffs result in dumping aircraft and financial resources on routes currently operated by independents , commuters , and regionals , who will be stripped of their marketing tools and end up going it alone against their former partner ? if this occurs , the layoffs will happen not with the large carrier , but with the small independents who cannot fight such a huge competitor ."]}

why do they continually do this ? what i and the jury did not see was darlie ' s horrible cut and bruised black arms and hands , defensive wounds , without one doubt .\ndarlie was said to be obsessed with the trappings of wealth and , apparently , had little patience for her boys , who she blamed for losing her looks . but despite the whispers , in october 1995 the couple had their third son drake .\nchina has been selling a toothpaste for years with an offensive and dark - racist past . between the 1920s and 1950s , darlie toothpaste was called , \u201cdarkie\u201d . the latter , a racial slur used commonly used towards africans and african - americans .\ni don ' t understand how someone can read the transcripts and come to a different conclusion than the rest of us . i truly believed the girl didn ' t do it until i found those docs . that imooc sealed darlie ' s fate .\nsome writers who have interviewed darlie routier have decided to help her fight to get a new trial . since reporting their opinions on her situation , they report that their ability to visit her has been blocked or made so inconvenient that little can be accomplished .\nwe also know that they both committed perjury on the stand when they claimed that their finances and their marriage were\nhealthy .\nthey were up to their eyeballs in debt , darin was bringing in less than ever before and darlie was stuck at home with three boys ( not an easy thing to do ) . we know that they had an argument that night that led to darlie asking darin for a separation . we have no way of knowing whether this was a typical thing for darlie to do since she and darin both lied on the witness stand . it would have been a good time to say they did it all the time , so we don ' t put as much emphasis on it , but who am i to tell them what to do ?\ndarin routier has admitted to trying to arrange an insurance scam , which included someone breaking into their home . he has admitted that he had begun the initial steps to arrange a break - in , but that it was to be done when no one was at home . no jury has heard this admission . surely any law would be all over this , how many ways could this be the answer ? maybe not even the way darin meant it to be but caused with unlawful schemes . i could understand them suspecting him , i really could , and why don ' t they ? i don ' t believe darlie would even suspect him , but if i were darlie i would have to give that some serious thought , but i think darlie is as i say so much like my own daughter . either a lack of intelligence or too much into her self , which does not equal a murderer . i keep waiting for my daughter to change and act more mature , but i suspect like darlie it is just who she is . no changing .\ndarin and darlie moved into her mother ' s home after the murders and lost the $ 200 , 000 house they built , also their 35 - foot cabin cruiser , ' 86 jaguar , plus some . legal fees and bad publicity about the case ruined him financially . his electronics business , bringing a salary of $ 500 , 000 in 1995 , lost 14 of its 17 clients and all employees . there was many bad testimonies from people making darlie look bad , there was no testimonies of the people who saw her much differently . darin and ms . kee claim darlie ' s trial mocked the judicial system . evidence that would have cleared her was never presented , witnesses who could have contradicted the prosecution ' s assertions never testified , forensics testing was botched , depositions were distorted . forensic fingerprint tests done after darlie ' s trial still show that she is innocent of the crime for which she was convicted . a bloody fingerprint taken from her living room coffee table did not belong to anyone living in her home , and two more fingerprints in the utility room and door leading to the garage in which darlie thinks the murderer escaped the darin ' s home after attacking her and her two sons . no matter , repeated requests , the court will not grant the evidential hearing necessary to investigate and evaluate this evidence .\ni have always had the feeling that darlie was guilty . it ' s not just spraying the silly string on her children ' s graves either . it was just something off about her . i believe she killed her sons or knows the person who did it .\nnothing points away from darlie . only to darlie . the silly string party at the grave isn ' t evidence , but it does give one pause . there is discussion of a mourning video at the grave , but it has not reared it ' s head in 19 1 / 2 years . would that not have been played after the state played the ss tape ? also , the jurors did see all of the pictures , that is one of the oldest rumors about this case . i just can ' t see anyway that anyone other than darlie could have done this . now that her date is drawing near , she is starting to throw it back on darin . i ' m so hoping that he will finally tell all he knows about what she did that night as darlie herself will never tell what she did . she is a combination of many things - narcissistic , selfish , etc . look up\nprofile of a sociopath\nand it practically comes up with her picture on it . the only time she seems sad or mournful is her mug shot .\nas paramedics tried to patch darlie up , she was hysterical , convinced the intruder was still hiding somewhere . but detectives found no trace of him . finally , they found the murder weapon in the kitchen . a butcher\u2019s knife , presumably left behind as the attacker fled .\nhi and welcome to websleuths 4baddogs ( love that name ! ! ) . my opinion about the darlie / darin pack is that they both have enough on the other that neither of them will spill what they know for fear the other one will spill what they know .\nif they were in cahoots , i wonder why darlie never implicated him . and he divorced her a few years after she was put on death row . if my husband helped me plan the murder of two of our sons , i ' d be singing like a canary .\namong the first steps the company took was to run a computer program that listed all possible one - letter changes in the name darkie . from this list , and from names suggested by several professional marketing firms , came a list of around 20 names , from which darlie was chosen .\nsomeone in an earlier post said the silly string episode was darlie ' s way of celebrating her freedom from her burden in life being lifted of taking care of two very active boys 24 / 7 . i agree . at the grave site she looked absolutely giddy and\nfree\n. on the trip to penn . with the boys for two weeks would have been tiring and time consuming . without the boys she could have basked in the limelight of her relatives . drake being an infant would have been no problem as many there would have taken care of him for darlie .\ni believe the courts ( in good faith and to shut darlie up ) should retest the evidence with the new dna techniques . just to see if these new tests come up with a different outcome . but that is it . no new trial . it would be a waste of money .\nthe attorney that represented darlie routier at trial had an apparent conflict of interest , because he was said to have had a prearrangement with darin routier and other family members not to pursue any defense that could implicate darin . this attorney supposedly stopped key experts for the defense from finishing forensic examinations .\nsuffering from post - natal depression , and unable to lose her baby weight , darlie , then 26 , confided to darin about having suicidal thoughts . but as they talked , it seemed things were looking fixable for the young couple . until , tragedy struck . something no - one could fix .\nnote from american girl : penang boy isn\u2019t kidding . there really is a brand of toothpaste named darlie ( formerly darkie ) and it is the toothpaste to use in asia . the chinese name for the brand translates to \u201cblack man toothpaste\u201d . unlike the u . s . , there are no negative connotations in naming something \u201cdark\u201d or \u201cblack\u201d in asia . darlie uses a racial caricature , yes , but it\u2019s also a brilliant marketing ploy since i\u2019ve known many taiwanese who fervently admire the \u201cshiny white smile\u201d of black people . seriously though , you\u2019ve got to use it . it tastes like clean candy .\nwhen the paramedics arrived at the scene they said that darin routier was outside , but darin was inside trying to save his children , so who was the man they thought was him ? it was reported the testimony of the nurses was coached and rehearsed in mock trials by the prosecution prior to their testimony . saying the cut in her neck was 2mm of the carotid sheath but external to the carotid artery was what darlie ' s operating surgeons reported , and that the necklace she had on blocked the cut from going deeper , showing the seriousness and unlikely darlie would or even could have done this herself .\nchildhood sweethearts , darlie and darin routier were the ultimate all - american family . with darin\u2019s computer business booming , they were \u2018living the dream\u2019 in an upper middle class area of texas . with a flash car , lavish home and expensive clothing , their two sons , devon and damon , wanted for nothing .\ndarlie moved to lubbock as a teenager with her mom and step dad , meeting darin in a western sizzlin ' where her mother worked and so did darin as a cook . he was 17 and she was 15 and they married four years later . after moving to the dallas area he began his own small company that tested electronic components and when he became a success in the early nineties they bought a nice house and spent thousands getting it just how they wanted . darin bought a thirty - foot cabin cruiser and a 1982 jaguar . they went a little wild with their money and darlie bought new boobs and flashy jewelry .\nluckily for darlie , her wounds were only superficial . distraught she managed to explain an intruder had entered their home and climbed on top of her on the sofa while she slept . she struggled with him before he eventually fled the scene . it was only then she noticed her two sons lying butchered on the floor .\nroutier\u2019s family says the silly string , provided by darlie\u2019s sister , was part of a birthday celebration . her oldest son , devon , would\u2019ve turned 7 that day . the party followed a prayer service for both devon and his younger brother damon , but tv cameras didn\u2019t capture the tears , kee said , only a frolicking routier .\njune 6 , 1996 : routier brothers damon , 5 , and devon , 6 , are found stabbed to death in the family ' s rowlett home . darlie routier , 26 , has cut and stab wounds on her neck and upper body . husband darin routier , 28 , and son drake , 7 months , are unharmed .\nofficers soon arrived to find a sickening scene . damon , then 5 , and devon , 6 , lay on the floor in the living room by the telly , in pools of blood . snuggled up with their 8 - month - old drake , darin had slept through the whole horrific ordeal . only woke to darlie\u2019s gut - wrenching screams .\nwe know that darin had been thinking about some illegal insurance fraud scheme that he may or may not have done previously . we also know that he failed the lie detector tests . while the results of darlie ' s tests have not been made public , i pretty much think if she had passed , we ' d have heard about it before now .\nthe second print taken from this door is a latent print located below the patent bloody fingerprint . latent print consultant robert lohnes checked this print in 2003 and said that it matched the second finger joint of darin routier on the middle finger of the left hand . in addition , langenburg currently is conducting a second examination of the bloody fingerprint on the utility room door to determine whether darin routier can also be excluded as the source of this print . if , as darlie expects , darin routier is not the source of this print , darlie definitively will have demonstrated that an unknown third party deposited two separate fingerprints , one of them in the victims ' blood , while fleeing the scene on the night of the murders .\nthis is also new information to me . do you know a website where i can read about the most important details of this case ( from the beginning ) ? i am still on the fence about darlie ' s guilt , but i now have a better understanding of why people believe she ' s the murderer . still , why was the blood concentration on the back of her gown / shirt ? if she stabbed her own sons , wouldn ' t the splatter have been on the front ? also , what is the deal with the unknown fingerprint ? why hasn ' t that been matched yet ( the print itself , not the dna from the blood content ) ? finally , wasn ' t there a strange car spotted in darlie ' s driveway the night of the murders ? this case is so complex and messy .\nits long been my opinion that we will hear from darin one day . now that it looks like darlie ' s getting desperate enough to at least be hinting that she ' s ready to throw him under the bus , he may talk to save his neck . after all , he ' s already said he wants to help her , but not if it means he has to change places with her . what a man !\ni rememer seeing photos of darlie ' s bruises and injuries , which seemed too severe to be self - inflicted . i remember hearing that these photos were not shown to the jury , but i don ' t know why . i heard one or more jurors saying that if they had seen the photos , they would have voted ng . then there was also something about a bloody sock being found outside , a ways away from the house .\nnever brought to the attention of the jury were other things of alarm and great importance included the pictures of darlie ' s cut ' s and bruises on her arms taken when she was hospitalized the night of the murders . one juror told reporters he would never have voted to convict if he had seen the photographs . i would be sure others would have agreed . that is when i knew without a doubt ! these are defense wounds , clearly .\ni remember this case . i ' ve always been torn about her guilt or innocence . the prosecution used the fact that she and her husband were having financial problems as the motive for her killing two of her three boys , but the gruesome way the kids were killed indicates to me that whoever stabbed them had to really hate them or be really sick in the head . if she wanted to get rid of the kids for financial reasons , why didn ' t she kill the baby as well ? and wouldn ' t she have found a cleaner , more simple way of killing them like suffocating them or poisoning them ? and she herself was stabbed near her carotid , which could have killed her . i don ' t see why someone would risk killing themselves because they were struggling financially . i also always wondered what , if any role , her husband played in the murders of the two boys . if darlie did kill them , did he know she was going to do it ? he was upstairs sleeping with their youngest son when darlie said the alleged attacker broke in the house and allegedly stabbed darlie and the older boys . but the police claimed he made a very odd statement when they got there . it was something to the effect of he could see why a man would want a attack a beautiful blonde with double d ' s .\ni think she buckled under the pressure of money problems and children . she needed child care for those 3 boys more than she needed extra maids and cleaning help . devon was out of school for the summer and probably bored silly and seeking things to entertain himself . damon was a tag - a - long after devon . darlie wanted everything in her life easy and problem free . not so with two very active youngsters roaming the neighborhood and house and hot tub .\ni voted\nno\n. i think she is guilty and should remain where she is until her date with the needle . this is my first post but i have lurked here for more than a year . after reading the trial transcripts and hearing the evidence against her it is apparent to me that no one else could have killed those two darling boys but their mother . someone in an earlier post said the silly string episode was darlie ' s way of celebrating her freedom from her burden in life being lifted of taking care of two very active boys 24 / 7 . i agree . at the grave site she looked absolutely giddy and\nfree\n. on the trip to penn . with the boys for two weeks would have been tiring and time consuming . without the boys she could have basked in the limelight of her relatives . drake being an infant would have been no problem as many there would have taken care of him for darlie . i think she buckled under the pressure of money problems and children . she needed child care for those 3 boys more than she needed extra maids and cleaning help . devon was out of school for the summer and probably bored silly and seeking things to entertain himself . damon was a tag - a - long after devon . darlie wanted everything in her life easy and problem free . not so with two very active youngsters roaming the neighborhood and house and hot tub . i read she is receiving parenting magazines in prison . that ' s closing the barn door a bit late . jmo ashley\ndrake routier looks just like his mother . the blue eyes , wide face , and his mother ' s mouth . the court took darin ' s custody of the child , who was 7 months old at the time of the murders , simply because he defended darlie ! this is texas law ? his parents were allowed to raise the baby and he was given rights to visit him but still ! does this horror never end ? if darin is guilty of nothing how could they take custody of his child from him ?\nthe blood on the back is in a splatter such as would be by raising the knife above her head whilst raising and lowering it during stabbing . in almost every murder case there is a\nblack car that was seen\n. the print you mention is too smudged to be id ' d , yet darlie has not been ruled out as it being hers . there is a fb page\njustice for devon & damon routier\n. it is a public page and all are welcome regardless of whether guilt or innocence is thought . at the top of the page are\nfile\nand you can find everything there . start with the transcripts - a long tedious read but so much info right there . there are people there that have studied the case for over 19 years and don ' t mind at all answering any questions regardless of how small or large it may be . i for one , believe fully in her guilt - evidence and dna do not lie . darlie has been caught in so many lies that i can ' t possibly see innocence in her . no one wants to believe a mother could do this , yet it happens often . heartbreaking isn ' t it ?\ni saw darlie dancing around her children ' s graves ; spraying silly puddy , laughing and acting so happy . of course she killed those babies , i was filled with hate , seeing her acting this way and those babies of hers , murdered and in the ground beneath her . i can ' t say that i accept this behavior even now but people are different and i know they are , it still doesn ' t make them guilty of murder . i really felt so guilty the more i listened , read , and learned . i am not the only one with a change of mind .\nall of a sudden their business went downhill and they got behind on their bills it is claimed ; owing $ 10 , 000 in back taxes and $ 12 , 000 on credit cards . about a month before the murders darlie considered suicide it is said by darin and an incomplete diary entry . it was a fleeting thought apparently . my doctor once asked me if i had ever thought about suicide and my answer was ,\nhasn ' t everyone ?\nhe laughed , for it is true . maybe to different extents but if you know the word you have thought about it , if you have something you just think you can ' t face you may think about it , so i consider that pretty normal and nothing to even consider in anyone ' s sanity .\nmotive the prosecution ' s contention was that darlie routier murdered her sons because of the family ' s financial difficulties . she was a full - time homemaker but her husband darin , a small business owner , earned a relatively high income . this was later referred to as\nliving large\nby her husband darin routier in an interview a few days after the deaths with joe munoz of kxas channel 5 in dallas - fort worth . the family lived in a two - story home in a middle - class neighborhood , drove a mid - sized suv , owned a used jaguar automobile and a used boat . prosecutors described routier as a pampered and materialistic woman with substantial debt , plummeting credit ratings , and little money in the bank who feared that her middle class lifestyle was about to end ' ' - murderpedia\nthere is definitely something off about her . i can ' t imagine calling the press to meet me at the graveside of my 2 kids that were murdered . she obviously had no fear of the\nintruder\ncoming to finish her off . also , when the reporter is questioning her she ' s all smiles - yet when she says\nwe ' re sad\nand then tries to appear sad , it just doesn ' t appear to be real at all . the hardest point for me is that ( other than her changing her stories ) how the heck does someone come in ( darlie is well known to have been a very light sleeper ) violently stab 2 kids , cut on and leave the adult alive to tell ? her staying on the phone for almost 6 long minutes doesn ' t make sense to me either . give the address and then try like hell to save your kids . i just cannot find her innocent at all . and i tried . i really did .\ni rememer seeing photos of darlie ' s bruises and injuries , which seemed too severe to be self - inflicted . i remember hearing that these photos were not shown to the jury , but i don ' t know why . i heard one or more jurors saying that if they had seen the photos , they would have voted ng . then there was also something about a bloody sock being found outside , a ways away from the house . also , there is lack of motive . just like in the ramsey and aisenberg cases , i don ' t see a motive when there is still one or more children of the family uninjured . it ' s not like in the susan smith case where she killed both of her children . in each of these 3 cases there are still children left in the family , that weren ' t targets of the crime . like i said , i haven ' t followed all the information on this case carefully , but based on what i have seen and heard , i think there is reasonable doubt .\nlatest dna results show no unknown dna . ( she also requested that these results be sealed ? ? ? ? not looking good ) it ' s just not physically possible for anyone else to have done it . the fingerprints everyone claims are not hers and must be the intruders are so smudged yet darlie has not been ruled out on those as they are her size . so much of what she says has been proven as lies . her changing stories , the magical intruder not even leaving a single skin cell . she never lifted a finger to save her kids , stayed on the phone setting up alibi . darin knows she did it , knew the second he came down the stairs . you can hear her on the 911 recording saying\ni didn ' t do anything , darin , someone came in here and did this\n. she also tells him nothing was touched . how would she know ? she showed zero interest in the boys conditions , i believe she was hoping they would die before they could tell . both she and darin admit that they fought about divorce that night , that ' s why she slept downstairs . i believe she did it to punish darin , to shirk her responsibilities and to garner attention ( she needs it more than air ) . the screen being cut ( with a knife from her butcher block ) yet it wasn ' t stretched out as tho someone had passed thru it . the blood trail ( with the boys blood ) magically stops at that window . the luminol proved a cleanup at the sink ( nice intruder w / ocd ? ) . the letters she wrote in prison about knowing who it was and then naming 2 names ( when questioned about the letters on the stand she asked the judge if it was legal for the prison to read her mail ) . the boys being brutally stabbed so they had no time to scream , darlie being cut ( she didn ' t know where any major veins or vessels were ) . she wasn ' t as smart as she thought she was . why didn ' t their dog - who was well known for being an annoying barker , not utter one yip ?\nthere was a pubic hair found in the living room . who ' s ? did debris on the knife in the kitchen get debris on the knife from police in the kitchen investigating the murder or did it come from the screen door ? darin ' s jeans had blood on them , no one should look into this ? darin routier admitted to trying to arrange an insurance scam , which meant someone breaking into their home . he admitted that he had begun the initial steps to arrange a break - in , but that it was planned for when no one was at home . no jury has ever heard this admission ! ( dear god ! he is walking around free , he looks the more guilty of the two ! ) sometimes i think children could run this world better . does nothing enter their minds about this ? is it too late because they would be hanging themselves ? are they just that lazy ? pick someone , have it over ? the court reporter made mistakes in the manuscript so was there an improper read - back of testimony ? why is prosecution not forced to turn over evidence they have that should be available to both sides ? gee anyone who watches tv knows this rule . why ? dna testing could put many of these questions to rest . why is there such a reluctance to do the testing ? many , such as people interested in writing darlie ' s story have come to her side and since then have run into convenience problems seeing her or simply blocked !\nfaux ken burns -

viability of this approach fatally hits home once the chronology reaches the post - world war ii era and willmott tries to square such events as the jfk assassination , vietnam , the watts riots , etc . , with the continued existence of the confederate states . it just doesn\u2019t wash .\npartly for this reason , pic\u2019s early stretch is easily the most successful . positioned as a history of the c . s . a . as reported by the british broadcasting service , pic recounts how french and british troops joined robert e . lee at gettysburg to rout the north and force the yankees\u2019 surrender on april 9 , 1864 . a deftly rendered mock -
