# The Steep Approach to Garbadale

The Steep Approach to Garbadale is a novel by the Scottish writer Iain Banks, published in 2007. The novel had at least two working titles, Matter and Empire!

## Plot introduction

The book describes the Wopuld family, who made a fortune on a board game called Empire!, now a successful computer game. A US firm, the Spraint Corporation, wants to buy them out.

## Plot summary

Alban McGill, a member of the Wopuld family, has sold most of his shares in the family firm, and resigned from his job in the company to become a forester, but has had to retire on medical grounds because of white finger. He is distracted from affairs of business by his relations with his family and with his teenage love, his first cousin Sophie.
McGill is approached by another cousin, Fielding, to help prevent the sale of the family company to the American Spraint Corporation. He also seeks a resolution of certain questions about his family background, and closure of his relationship with Sophie. Much of the book is a build-up to the Extraordinary General Meeting which will decide on the sale, which takes place at the family estate at Garbadale in Sutherland. His current girlfriend, mathematician Verushka Graef, is a hillwalker, and near the end of the book Alban goes for a walk in the hills to think. On his return he takes the steep approach back to Garbadale.
Significant portions of the action are set in California, Singapore and Hong Kong, as McGill reminisces about his world travels during his gap year. His mother's suicide is described in detail, as is his relationship with the family matriarch, Grandma Win.
Banks takes the opportunity, as in Dead Air and Raw Spirit, to make points about the morality and wisdom of the War on Terrorism, when McGill meets representatives of the American capitalists who wish to acquire the family game symbolising the British Empire.
The book has intermittent contributions from McGill's friend and ex-colleague Tango, who lives in a council estate in Perth, Scotland.

## Literary significance and criticism

The book has attracted comparison with The Crow Road. Both involve a reunion of a large Scottish family, and both feature a dark secret at the heart of the family.

# Late Ruker orogeny

The Late Ruker orogeny, also known as the Nimrod orogeny, was a mountain building event around 1 billion years ago in the Proterozoic. Large portions of West Antarctica were added to the continent during this event. The orogeny was marked by subsidence, sedimentation and underwater volcanic eruptions along the proto-Pacific Ocean margin of proto-Antarctica. This melted some older igneous plutonic rocks and metamorphic rocks and caused some new metamorphism.
Red beds were deposited and are now preserved in the Ritscher Upland of Queen Maud Land. Stromatolite carbonate beds and quartz arenite in the Shackleton Range serves as evidence for a stable platform and epicratonic sea during the period.

## Critical reception

Professional ratings :
| Review scores ||
| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| Entertainment Weekly | A− |
Entertainment Weekly praised the "power and prowess of this Boston quartet, whose inordinately catchy Farfisa-streaked pop is instantly familiar yet, in this age of alternanonymous posing, remarkably daring." The Austin Chronicle thought that "the Pit explodes with the furor of Elvis Costello's first few sneering albums and brims with the pure pop perfection of the rest." The Boston Herald called the album "hard-edged pop that's aggressively tuneful."
The New Yorker deemed the album "highly inventive organ-fuelled pop," and noted the "clever lyrics, catchy melodies, and arrangements that are more complex than you'd expect." Trouser Press concluded that, "for all of the pushing of musical boundaries, Silver Gorilla contains the Pit’s most accessible straight-ahead pop song, 'Favorite'... Sailing along on a bouncy organ groove, it became a genuine hit in Boston." The Cleveland Scene opined that the band provides "melodic yet rough-edged tunes that falter only occasionally, when the song gets lost in repetitive chord changes."
AllMusic wrote that "this Boston foursome's loud pop-punk recalls the early days of Cheap Trick, when loud (not just fuzzy, but loud) guitars could exist in catchy pop songs."

# Primitive Central Rook

In shogi, Primitive Central Rook (原始中飛車 genshi nakabisha) is a Central Rook (Ranging Rook) opening in which the player attacks their opponent very aggressively and early usually giving up castling the king.
The attack point of the strategy is the opponent's 53 square if played by Black or the 57 square if played by White. The Primitive Central Rook strategy utilizes the player's rook, bishop, silver, pawn, and both knights.
The strategy is known as primitive (原始) since it has a relatively simple aim and the strategy may not succeed if the opponent can develop a good counterattack. Thus, the strategy can be found among beginner players but is absent from professional play except for some examples from professional Kouzou Masuda (升田幸三) in the 1960s.

## Development

Below follows the Primitive Central Rook example for White from 飯塚 (2014).
Primitive Central Rook shows an early intent to play a Central Rook position by moving the rook on the player's first move.
It is common for a Static Rook position to be played against Central Rook.
White moves their king away from its more dangerous start position. The more usual move here would be for White to open their bishop diagonal in order to prevent Black from trading pawns on the second file. However, Primitive Central Rook keeps their bishop diagonal closed initially allowing Black to make the pawn trade.
Since White didn't respond to Black's rook pawn push, Black continues advancing their rook pawn aiming for a pawn trade.
White must protect the head of their bishop with their gold from the threat of Black's advancing pawn. (To ignore this threat is a blunder.)
After White's preparation, Black starts the pawn trade.
After the trade, White drops their pawn to push Black's rook back.
Black retreats their rook to its start position, and White continues moving the king to safety.
Black moves their right silver closer to the middle of the board in response to a Ranging Rook opponent and starts to castle their king leftward away from their rook.
White moves their right silver up forming an Incomplete Mino castle.
White also moves their rook down to rank 1. This move prevents Black from dropping a silver on 41 in the future forking the rook and the left gold as the rook is now defending the 41 square.
# Yemeni Identity Card

A Yemeni Identity Card is an official document issued by the Yemeni government to its citizens. It acts as proof of identity for someone who holds it.

## Smart ID cards

The Yemeni embassy in Riyadh has launched a new program offering smart cards to Yemeni citizens abroad. These cards, equipped with biometric security features, aim to improve efficiency in government interactions and data management. This initiative follows a 2009 European Union proposal for a similar identity card system, which was ultimately rejected. Yemeni residents in Saudi Arabia can now schedule appointments online to obtain their smart cards through a process similar to passport issuance. Issuance of the Smart ID card has also began in Aden, however as of 2024, most governmental offices in Yemen still issue the previous, non-biometric ID card.
