The Next Steps for Credit Availability Act (H.R. 5929), introduced by Rep. Michael G. Grimm and Rep. Nydia Velázquez in June 2012, would allow BDCs to invest more of their assets in start-up companies and small-to mid-sized businesses.
Among other things, the bill would:
• Amend the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") to permit BDCs to own investment adviser subsidiaries. Currently, the 1940 Act prohibits BDCs from investing in wholly owned subsidiaries that are registered investment advisers.

HaHa! At a meet? How'd it go? Good I'm guessing or you wouldn't be talking about him. I'll check out his video later tonite. I'm realizing when I got my new lower bench I never really played with my feet placement. LOL, when I had a bench too high, I had no choice but to have better feet placement. My feet barely touched the floor at all!
Anyway, very pleased about squats today!! Hit a big set and feel really confident with them right now. JBPP week 6 warmups: banded hip and leg stuff, active stretching, glute activation, squat sits, banded GMs Squat: 4x 275, 300, 305 (PR) 5x 310 (BooYEAH!!, PR obviously) That's 141Kg for you in the rest of the world! GMs: 3x 8x 155 (Maybe should have done a little more weight, but didn't want to stress my low back which is still a bit wonky) Banded Abs: 3x 15 Back yoga and leg stretches and that's that. 4x 300, different view, wanted to see hands and upper back: 4x 305: 5x 310, Not gonna lie, last rep almost killed me. Was worried I wouldn't be able to rack it! : 8x 155 GM: Not really sure why I did that extra rep as I was struggling al the way through, but I just said eff it and did it. Man, I was jacked up afterward! O f course, I wouldn't be if I'd have missed it, so there you go. Not going to take that chance unless I'm pretty sure I'm dialed in and going to get it. Good stuff today! Some videos to fix my bench and a rockin' squat session. Man, if I ever figure out how to deadlift, look out!! Day off tomorrow, just rolling pinning the quads and some back yoga and stretching. Bench Aux Friday and Rack Pulls Saturday. Thanks for all the support fellas!!
I am Anton Zdravko Martin! Best meet lifts: Sq 150 Kg (330 lb), Bench 120 Kg (264), DL 160 (352) @89 Kg (197) Best gym lifts: Sq 375, Bench 275 (pause), DL 370 @205 or less Goals: 3/4/5 Goals beyond my wildest dreams, 600 Kg raw total, 200/160/240 Hack away at anything which isn't essential.

Modular Architecture - The Unit x 10, performance
Lucy Orta, 1996
- Ref: 0505
- Materials: Extract from 40' Dance performance, Soirées Nomades
- Catalogued: p129 Lucy Orta, Phaidon Press UK 2003
- Exhibition history: 1996 La Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain Paris, France
- Courtesy: Courtesy of the Artists
- Concept: Commissioned by La Fondation Cartier pour lart contemporain in Paris for the performance program, Soirées Nomades, Modular Architecture marks Lucy Ortas first collaboration with contemporary dance. Imagined both as a static installation and a 40 dance performance, the sculptures were interconnected by large visual signifiers - Habiter un espace cest le prendre pour corps - The social link weaves the physical link - The group of contemporary dancers were invited to explore and define a personal space before negotiating a partnership with other members of the group. The Unit, a series of interconnected individual bivouacs that separate to reveal a personal space, an item of clothing or a transport bag. The aluminium membrane of the Dome, doting many identities, can be detached to reveal individual characters symbolised by arm, hood or leg appendages, the dancers can form entire suits by developing relationships with others and the boundaries between the body and the architecture begin to dissolve. Orta regards the wearers movements as those of a multifaceted mechanism, mirroring Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnizs theories on the mechanization of the body. In his theory of monadology, Leibniz described the body not as a machine in itself, but as a mechanism made up of many machines, considering organs and body parts as devices in themselves. A model for expression in contemporary aesthetics, the concept of the monad is viewed in terms of folds of space, movement and time, like the interrelatedness of the body and the Modular Architecture structures supporting it.

Newton restructure sees Frikkee lose Higher Income fund
by Emma Dunkley on Dec 10, 2012 at 12:11
Newton Investment Management's Richard Wilmot is taking over the reins of the firm's Higher Income fund leaving current manager Tineke Frikkee facing an uncertain future.
Frikkee is in discussions about her role at the company after being taken off the fund which she has managed since 2004.
The news comes as the firm announces a raft of fund mergers and following a significant shift by investors away from UK equities.
Simon Pryke, chief investment officer at Newton, said: 'We believe the UK equity team, under Richard's leadership and working closely with our 17-strong global sector research analysts, will be well positioned to continue to successfully manage our UK equity portfolios going forward.'
Recent months have proved challenging for Frikkee and her Higher Income fund, and October saw the manager raise cash to a record level on fears quantitative easing would have little impact.
Over three years she sits in 66th position out her 97 peers in the UK equity income sector, according to Citywire data.
Announcing the changes, Newton said it is consolidating its product offering in UK equities as investors shift away from these towards global stocks, fixed income and absolute return.
The firm merged the Newton Income, Newton Growth and Newton UK Equity funds into a single vehicle and redeployed resources to other areas of the firm to take account of this shift.
Under the last three years of Frikkee's rein, the Newton Higher Income fund, formerly in Citywire Selection, has delivered 26% versus a 29.8% rise in the FTSE All Share TR index.
Newton acknowledged that the environment has been difficult for investing in higher yielding stocks of late, and in the UK the number of attractive higher yielding equities available to investors has shrunk.

Sorry isn't enough
Published at 11:52, Monday, 17 September 2012
"I'M sorry", the whispered response came from the chastised child after much waiting.
You couldn't help thinking that the child wasn't really sorry. They were apologising because that was what you do when you get caught out.
Apologising only because that was what is expected. We've all seen it, we accept the apology and move on, but the half-hearted words don't really suffice.
Or we can press the child further, "How sorry?" After a while we are supplied with "really sorry", because the more words you add to the apology the more sincere it becomes?
This week, following the publication of the Hillsborough report, there's a lot of apologies, all of them with added words.
David Cameron has said he is "Profoundly sorry". "Profuse" apologies, have been offered from the then (1989) editor of The Sun, Kelvin MacKenzie. There have been "heartfelt" and "profound"apologies from the same paper, under current editor Dominic Mohan.
But unlike the naughty child, who may sulk for a minute or two before issuing that "more sincere"apology, this has taken 23 years.
"The Truth", to borrow that awful newspaper headline from all those years ago, has been known by many for a long, long time. By those charged with safeguarding the public in 1989 and those that have covered up their errors since. But nowhere more so than in the homes and families of the 96 people who lost their lives on that spring afternoon in Sheffield.
The horrific reporting by one tabloid at the time of the incident is a black mark that any apology, however "profound", may never erase. Not just for the families of the 96 victims, the City of Liverpool, but for our society as a whole. The decision to run that day with that headline, "The Truth", when even the journalist who wrote the article had more than a passing doubt that it wasn't, marked the beginning of a downward spiral for Fleet Street.
The published report makes harrowing reading. I recommend that anyone interested should get a copy and read it, it can be downloaded free from government websites.
The shocking failings and cover-ups from South Yorkshire Police, the ambulance service, the stadium owners and others must never, ever be allowed to happen again. Unbelievably, there are records of three similar incidents in preceding years that could have also cost 96 lives, they were incredible "near misses", but the lessons were ignored.
The altering of witness statements and official records is a despicable crime, the attempt to shift the blame onto innocent dead people even worse.
Criminal prosecutions must now be sought, the original inquest needs to be called into question and the errors and cover-ups that have caused 23 years of increased pain for the families of the 96 victims needs to be put right – we need prosecutions and people brought to account for their actions.
Something more substantial than just adding extra words to apologies.

I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. How is this going to compare to the cover up that is 9/11 ? Makes your blood run cold. Times moves on, but the lies and cover ups just get bigger !

About Hookah
The first hookahs probably come from India which is also where the term "hookah" come from. The initial hookahs were very simple. They were usually of a coconut shell and a tube leading through one hole in the nut shell. Opium and hashish were primarily meant to be the filling for these hookahs. Later, hookah served for smoking of pure wet tobacco. Burning charcoals used to be put directly on the tobacco (no foil or metal grid were used).
Hookahs gained their contemporary shape about 500 ago in Turkey. A hose and a vase were added. Hookahs spread gradually to Lebanon and Syria where another famous term for it comes from – a narghile. Once it got on African continent (Egypt, Morocco), the last of the three most famous terms for smoking water pipe emerged – a shisha. Already 300 years ago hookahs were a favourite attraction in Turkish "coffee rooms". In many Arabian countries, hookahs have been designated for men's society only.Wider penetration of hookahs to American and European markets occurred considerably later, about 50 years ago. Present hookahs look like the Turkish models 500 years ago more or less. The range of fillings has been considerably widened though; thus a plenty of tobacco brands and flavours are available these days.
We can classify hookahs according several parameters. Probably the most common parameter is the height of the hookahs. Most of the web stores thus offer categories such as "small hookahs", "medium hookahs", "large hookahs", and/or "extra large hookahs" (one complete range of hookahs according to this criterion can be found on www.hookahsworld.com). Logically, the higher the hookah is, the higher the price is. However, we always have to consider the materials used, quality of processing, originality of design etc. High quality and original hookah then may cost similar price like some ordinary pipe from XXL category. It's an incorrect superstition that extra tall hookahs (over 100 cm) must be a lot more unstable than small ones during smoking. The contrary is truth in fact. Very big hookahs are usually more stable due to bigger weight and wider bottom of the glass base. For additional increase in stability, some manufacturers produce glass bases with extra wide bottom in order to prevent the hookah from toppling (you can discuss this issue in hookah forum). In fact, small hookahs topple more likely as they are usually very light and their hoses are generally short so the smoking from them must be more careful.
We can also classify hookahs according to the country of their origin. Variety of products makes every market more interesting. Each country with proper hookah tradition produces slightly different types of hookahs nowadays. Experienced smokers, tea lounge owners or business men can immediately tell whether a hookah come from Egypt, Turkey, India, Syria, or China etc. In Europe the Egyptian hookahs are probably the most popular type. On the contrary, for example Chinese hookahs are very rare here.

The rug's size, shape, color and texture are as described. My main concern is that it immediately plugs up my vacuum, even on the "thickest" carpet setting. I have had to hand-vacuum the rug using an attachment, which is inconvenient, and even then I don't feel as though I'm getting deeply into the rug to clean it thoroughly. It continues to shed small fuzz balls after two vacuumings, so keep your black sweaters away from it. Very comfortable to walk on-- superplush.
Love this carpet. Soft, beautiful, and plush. So glad I ordered it. You won't be disappointed when you get it. After ordering several area rugs, and they were so disappointing, it was great to finally get one that fit the description and arrive on time.
For the first month this rug was great. I bought it in "fig" and the color was just as the picture portrayed it. It was a perfect match for my living room. It was thick and fluffy, and added great depth and texture to the room. But after about a month, it began shedding like crazy. There are big purple fuzz balls ALL over the house, and I am constantly having to vacuum - and who has time to vacuum every single day?! When I put my baby down to crawl on it for less than a minute, she has huge purple fuzz balls entangled and hanging from her fingers and toes. GROSS! There is no end to the shedding and I am so disappointed. Just looking at the rug is Great! But the shedding and nasty fuzzies everywhere won't do. So I am back to the long search for a similar fig colored rug that won't shed like this terrible thing!
This was intended for a guest room that also receives quite a bit of traffic towards the bathroom. It was SO PLUSH, too plush for me and very very soft. It also had kind of a "messy" look but I suppose that is what shag is supposed to be. I decided shag wasn't for me, I wanted something with less height (the threads seems to be 2 or 3 inches) and a cleaner/simpler look. I could only imagine if my 2 year-old spilled something on it or dropped some crumbs within the threads.... With that said, I think it is an excellent quality rug and would work well for someone looking for something super soft that you just want to lay on. Also, Overstock customer service was wonderful in helping with the return and I am currently looking for a more suitable rug for me.
I was looking for a specific color of Blue, and this was not it. I was delighted with the ease of returning product, and the very fast crediting to my account. Thank you, Overstock.com

I wonder what the risk exposure from a lightning strike is. Would a simple grounded lightning rod provide adequate safety for a "side of mountain" location? Any advise appreciated.javascript:emoticon('

This our #1 fear about container living.
Could you use a layer of rubber as a foundation, and use plastic pipes to avoid being a conductor? Or would the water going through the pipes, or electrical/cable/phone lines attached to grounded poles manage to do that anyway. Just an idea, should have paid better attention in physics. Still very interested in the answer though.

Thx modernlover. So the jury is still out? Most of that lightning rod info related to fire hazard and no to prevention of conducted electrocution from lightning. Is it a practice to ground container dwellings? Easy enough, but effective? I mean, a container structure (being made primarily metal) does pose a higher level danger of injury by lightning strike to it's inhabitants, does it not? btw, i see this as a problem to be solved and not a reason to avoid use of containers as housing.

Post subject: lightning
It is true that without adequate electrical insulation from the ground that the house may be more susceptible to lightning strikes than if insulated, but being inside during those strikes would present no danger to the inhabitants.
In physics, the concept of a Faraday cage applies. Any charge carried on a conductor is isolated to the outside of the structure. There will be no electric field inside the container, and no possibility of electrical shock exists even if in contact with bare metal interior walls. Furthermore, for the same reasons, depending on the number and size of holes cut in the container you may receive little or no radio reception inside the container.
Hope this helps.

I'm just reading this and it seems silly. If the container is grounded, and I would think it should be - it just makes sense to do it for your domestic electrical power distribution - then there is not really any danger. To get electrocuted by a lightning strike you would have to become the conduit for the electricity to pass from the container to the ground. So if the container was not grounded you would have to be bridging from the the container wall to the ground, or from the container wall to a copper plumbing line that extends to the ground. This risk is no different than a wood house that can take a strike on a nearby powerpole, and conduct that strike throughout the house on its electrical system. If you've got yourself in the bathroom using the faucet you are in the same risk. Since that's more likely to set the wood on fire I'd say its worse risk.
Grounding could be done with a dedicated lightning strike conductor, but the electrical system of the container will already be grounding the metal box. Heck, the anchor bolts connecting the thing to the foundation would probably do much the same anyway.

From what I remember:
The idea behind a lightning rod is to be constantly releasing electrons (that are building up in the ground) into the air.
Lightning can go from the ground up or from the cloud down.
The rod and cable are providing a path for electrons directly to the ground so nothing is damaged in between.
They are pointed because electrons gather at points, and then are released into the air, which allows the charges being built up in the clouds to find a path to the ground.
( that's why you can put some metal objects in a microwave but not something like a fork which has pointed prongs where the electrons will gather and then arc and spark)
Lighting strikes because the charge in the clouds can't find a path to the ground and builds up and up until " POW " it suddenly finds a path..... and some unlucky person or house, might just be the path.
Trying to insulate the container would most likely do absolutely no good as the incredible amount of energy in the strike could easily arc past the insulator to the ground.
If you're in a built up area, a container most likely won't be a special target, but out in the country you might be prudent to put up a rod or 2.
I'm not a scientist, but I did pay a little attention in physics class ....when I wasn't throwing spitballs.
My 2 cents.

If you think a fork puts on a good show you should try steel wool some time!
I also can not qualify this experiment as science.

Umm....Nothing much to say. And i dont feel like typing all of that right now as i am busy. Usually people clear their profiles when they're leaving, but im not. Not yet anyway. Ill be honest, I'm starting to lose a lot of faith in this website. Sure, booksie has a great community and good oputunites but I also havent really made much progress here, SO thats when I decide I'm not going to be very active on here anymore. I just don't see a point.
I thank everyone that's supported me and been a great friend to me. (You know who you are =] )
Anyways. I'll leave my e-mail for those who wish to contact me for anyreason (besides marketing, I don't want any.)r
So that's it, I'll be seeing you around Booksie. For the record, I can say it was fun while it lasted.
Don't worry though, I'll be around.
You all can still feel free to leave a reading request or two, Im always happy to read something.

Brian Kelly '83 Wins Associated Press Coach of the Year
Wednesday, December 19, 2012
Notre Dame football coach got his start at Assumption College
Brian Kelly
'83, head football coach for the University of Notre Dame and philanthropist, was voted Associated Press (AP) college football coach of the year on Dec. 19, for leading the Fighting Irish to the BCS championship for the first time. He is the first Notre Dame coach to win the AP award, which started in 1998.
Kelly – who delivered Assumption College's 2012 Commencement address in May, when he also received an honorary degree from his alma mater – is a veteran of 21 seasons as a head college football coach. This was his third season at Notre Dame, the 29th head football coach in the university's storied history. Prior to this season, Kelly had guided the Fighting Irish to 16 wins and two bowl games. He became the first Notre Dame head coach to win a bowl game in his first season there. Currently the fifth-winningest active coach in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), his victories as head coach since 2001 are more than all but two active FBS head coaches – Oklahoma's Bob Stoops and Mack Brown of Texas.
Ever passionate for his alma mater, Kelly established last spring a $250,000 endowed scholarship for Assumption College football players. The College will match the annual football scholarship amount with the same scholarship amount for female intercollegiate athletes.
"I am very proud to be an Assumption College alumnus," said Kelly. "Establishing this scholarship is my way of giving back and saying thanks to all the people at Assumption who taught me, mentored me and helped shape me. This is a very special community with a spirit that helps students thrive in every aspect of their lives."

2013 News Releases
Trinity Health CEO Swedish Resigns; Board names Warren to be Interim CEO
Trinity Health announced today that President and Chief Executive Officer Joseph R. Swedish will leave the organization next month to become the CEO of WellPoint and the Trinity Health Board of Directors named Board member Larry Warren to be interim CEO. Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City is part of the Trinity Health system of hospitals stretching from coast-to-coast across the United States.
Swedish is working with the Trinity Health Board and the executive team to ensure a smooth transition. Warren, a Trinity Health Board member since July 2011, is the former CEO of Howard University Hospital and former CEO of University of Michigan Hospital.
"Joe has been a visionary leader for Trinity Health and an unrelenting advocate for our mission, and we wish him all the best in his new role," said Sister Mary Mollison, CSA, Chair of the Trinity Health Board of Directors. "We are fortunate to have an exemplary leadership team and a strong, engaged Board to ensure we stay on our strategy – positioning Trinity Health for the future through clinical excellence, community benefit and steadfast financial stewardship. Trinity Health and Catholic Health East remain committed to our consolidation, and we are continuing forward to integrate our organizations and close the consolidation this year."
Swedish has been CEO since December 2004. Under his leadership, Trinity Health revenues increased from $5.7 billion in 2005 to $8.9 billion in 2012, and total assets increased from $7.5 billion to $11.7 billion. The organization's community benefit ministry, which includes care for the poor and community heath activity, increased from $265 million in 2005 to $615 million in 2012.
"Trinity Health is a progressive and dynamic ministry, and it has been my honor to help pursue its mission for eight years," Swedish said. "I thank the entire Trinity Health team for their tireless commitment to healing the body, mind and spirit of people everywhere, and for working together to unify our ministry for a stronger future."

The 'Roman Limes' represents the border line of the Roman Empire at its greatest extent in the 2nd century AD. It stretched over 5,000 km from the Atlantic coast of northern Britain, through Europe to the Black Sea, and from there to the Red Sea and across North Africa to the Atlantic coast. The remains of the Limes today consist of vestiges of built walls, ditches, forts, fortresses, watchtowers and civilian settlements. Certain elements of the line have been excavated, some reconstructed and a few destroyed. The two sections of the Limes in Germany cover a length of 550 km from the north-west of the country to the Danube in the south-east. The 118-km-long Hadrian's Wall (UK) was built on the orders of the Emperor Hadrian c. AD 122 at the northernmost limits of the Roman province of Britannia. It is a striking example of the organization of a military zone and illustrates the defensive techniques and geopolitical strategies of ancient Rome. The Antonine Wall, a 60-km long fortification in Scotland was started by Emperor Antonius Pius in 142 AD as a defense against the "barbarians" of the north. It constitutes the northwestern-most portion of the Roman Limes.
Le « limes romain » représente la ligne frontière de l'Empire romain à son apogée au IIe siècle apr. J.-C. Le limes s'étendait sur 5 000 km depuis la côte atlantique au nord de la Grande-Bretagne, traversant l'Europe jusqu'à la mer Noire et, de là, jusqu'à la mer Rouge et l'Afrique du Nord, pour revenir à la côte atlantique. Il s'agit de vestiges de murs bâtis, de fossés, de forts, de forteresses, de tours de guet et d'habitations civiles. Certains éléments de la ligne ont été découverts lors de fouilles, d'autres reconstruits et quelques-uns détruits. Les deux tronçons du limes en Allemagne couvrent une distance de 550 km depuis le nord-ouest de l'Allemagne jusqu'au Danube au sud-est du pays. Le mur d'Hadrien (Royaume Uni), long de 118 km, a été construit sous les ordres de l'empereur Hadrien en 122 apr. J.-C., à l'extrémité nord des frontières de la province romaine Britannia. C'est un exemple remarquable d'organisation d'une zone militaire qui illustre les techniques défensives et les stratégies géopolitiques de la Rome ancienne. Le mur d'Antonin, une fortification de 60 km de long située en Ecosse, fut commencé sous l'empereur Antonius Pius en 142 apr. J.-C. comme une défense contre les « barbares » venus du Nord. Il représente le tronçon situé le plus au nord-ouest du « limes romain ».
يشكّل جدار "الليمز الروماني" حدود الإمبراطورية الرومانية عندما كانت في أوجها في القرن الثاني م. يغطّي طرفا "الليمز" في ألمانيا مساحة 550 كلم إنطلاقاً من الشمال الغربي لألمانيا حتى الدانوب في الجنوب الشرقي من البلاد. وقد تمّ تسجيلهما كامتداد لجدار أدريان (المملكة المتحدة) الذي اُدرج على قائمة التراث العالمي في العام 1987. ويمتد الليمز على 500 كلم ابتداء من الساحل الأطلسي إلى شمال بريطانيا العظمى مروراً بأوروبا حتى البحر الأسود ومنه حتى البحر الأحمر وأفريقيا الشمالية للعودة إلى الساحل الأطلسي. إنها آثار جدران مبنية وهوّات وحصون وقلاع وأبراج مراقبة ومساكن مدنية. وقد تمّ اكتشاف عناصر من هذا الخط خلال عمليات تنقيب بينما أعيد تشييد أخرى وتدمير أخرى. يُعتبر جدار أدريان (في المملكة المتحدة) وطوله 118 كلم مثالاً ممتازاً لمنطقة عسكرية في الأمبرطورية الرومانية.

Объект включает отдельные части пограничной линии древней Римской империи во времена ее наибольшего территориального расширения во II в. н.э. Эта линия известна как «Римские рубежи» (Roman Limes). В 2005 г. её участок протяженностью 550 км, идущий с северо-запада Германии к Дунаю на юго-востоке, был включен в качестве расширения объекта «Вал Адриана» (Великобритания), внесенного в Список всемирного наследия в 1987 г. В целом эти рубежи имеют длину более 5000 км: от побережья Атлантики на севере Британии, далее через всю Европу к Черному морю, оттуда к Красному морю и через Северную Африку к Атлантическому побережью. Некоторые фрагменты укреплений на этой границе раскопаны, некоторые – восстановлены, некоторые – разрушены; отдельные части известны только по полевым исследованиям. На данном объекте можно увидеть остатки валов, стен и рвов, около 900 сторожевых башен, 60 фортов и гражданских поселений, где жили торговцы и ремесленники, или предназначенных для военных.
Este sitio está compuesto por dos secciones de la frontera del Imperio Romano ("limes romanus") que datan del apogeo de éste (siglo II) y se extienden a lo largo de 550 km por Alemania, siguiendo un eje noroeste-sureste hasta la región del Danubio. El sitio se ha inscrito como extensión de la Muralla de Adriano (Reino Unido), que ya figuraba en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial desde 1987. El "limes romanus" tenía una longitud total de 5.000 km y atravesaba toda Europa desde la costa atlántica septentrional de la Gran Bretaña hasta el Mar Negro. Desde aquí su trazado se orientaba hacia el Mar Rojo para pasar luego por África del Norte hasta alcanzar de nuevo la costa del Atlántico. Las dos secciones del "limes" comprenden vestigios de murallas, fosos, fuertes, ciudadelas, atalayas y viviendas civiles. Algunos de estos elementos se han descubierto en el transcurso de excavaciones arqueológicas o se han reconstruido, mientras que otros se han perdido para siempre. La Muralla de Adriano (Reino Unido), que tiene una longitud de 118 km, es un ejemplo notable de la manera en que se organizaba una zona militar en la Roma antigua.
At its height the Roman Empire extended into three continents. Its borders reflected the waxing and waning of power over more than a millennia. In what is now Germany there were several military campaigns into the area north of the Alps and east of the River Rhine from 55/53 BC to 15-16 AD, but the area was not brought under direct control until around 85 AD when the oldest part of the Limes was created between the River Rhine and the high Taunus Mountains. This frontier followed the contours of the landscape. Later the courses defined were much straighter and the first forts established. Similarly in the area of the Raetian Limes the border was secured first under Emperor Claudius (41-54 AD), probably moved north across the river under the Emperor Domitian, and then under Emperor Trajan forts were established.
The early Limes barrier seems to have been a cleared stretch of forest monitored by wooden towers. Under the Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) the Limes was additionally secured with a palisade fence. In the 2nd century AD the Limes was in part straightened, and also strengthened with embankments or stone walls and numerous forts, and fortlets.
The nomination acknowledges that the chronology of the creation and expansion of the Limes is under researched and more work needs to be done to establish firm dates and sequences.
The Upper German-Raetian Limes was given up during the second half of the 3rd century AD, probably abut 260AD. After the end of Roman rule, many Romanised Celtic- German peoples moved away from territory within the Limes and other new Germanic settlers moved in. Although the walls survived for many centuries as an impressive landmark, gradually facts about its rationale and use were replaced by myths and legends.
The "re-discovery" of the Upper German Raetian Limes was linked to 19th interest in humanistic research.
A central institution for the research of the Upper German- Raetian Limes, called "Reichs Limeskomision", was founded in 1892 and chaired by the Noble Prize winner for literature, Theodor Mommsen. The work of this commission relied heavily on previous research by the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, the Grand Duchess of Baden and Hessen and the Kingdom of Bavaria. Other earlier research was carried out by different associations concerned with the study of Roman remains, such as the Commission for the research of the Imperial Roman Limes, active in the first half of the 19th century, or by individuals like Wilhelm Conrady from Hanau, Friedrich Kofler from Hesse, and Friedrich Ohlenschlager and Karl Popp from Bavaria.
The last of the 14 volumes of the research of the Limes, carried out by the Imperial Commission, was published in 1937. More than 90 forts and some 1000 watchtowers, as well as all line segments, were identified and recorded.
Only after World War II and the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, was new impetus given to the research of the Limes. Open questions and new issues were addressed from 1959 on, by the Roman Germanic Commission, providing continuous publication of results, with the series "Limesforschungen". Increasingly not just military issues were addressed, but also other topics such as the civilian settlements and relationships with border provinces.
The 1950s and 1960s development boom caused the loss of many of the sites and elements of the Limes, while at the same time contributed considerably to the knowledge and research. New research techniques as well as air photography helped in the completion of the picture of the extent and characteristics of the Roman Limes in Germany.
United Kingdom
From the 2nd century BC, Rome began its territorial expansion beyond the Alps, towards Gaul and Germania. Caesar was the first Roman general to cross the English Channel and to stay temporarily in the south-east of present-day England (55-54 BC). Several of his successors planned to settle the lands across the English Channel, but did not succeed in their aims.
It was Claudius who succeeded in conquering Britannia. The process started in 43 AD, but it took a few decades until Roman power was stabilised. Though Agricola fought successfully against the Caledonians in Scotland, in 85 AD the offensive was halted and one legion together with some auxiliary forces were ordered to the Danube. After withdrawing the troops the boundary was fixed in the line of the road called Stanegate.
Despite repeated offensives, Rome did not succeed in occupying the northern part of Britain. Hadrian had the first massive wall built as the limes, the most impressive Roman defence line ever built. The stone wall was built slightly north of the Tyne-Solway line in the 3rd and 4th decades of the 2nd century AD.
The next emperor, Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD) decided to move the frontiers to the line of the Firth of Forth and Firth of Clyde. The new wall was built in the years after 142 AD. It was occupied for a generation but abandoned in the 160s AD. The withdrawal decision may have been made as early as 158 AD.
A new limes similar to the Antonine Wall was later ordered to be built by Antoninus in Germania. Both can be interpreted as occupying new territories and as a shortening of the length of the defence line.
During its existence of less than two decades a high, stone-based turf wall, a row of fortifications and fortlets were built. The Antonine Wall created a frontier line of the Roman Empire. Its primary tasks were to prevent any infiltration or invasion of the northern tribes into the province Britannia and, like other sections of the Roman frontiers, to enhance economic and social connections with people outside of the empire. It may be assumed that at certain places there was controlled traffic in and out of the province.
The Antonine Wall was the last built linear barrier of the Roman Empire. After its abandonment Roman troops only continued to occupy certain posts north of Hadrian's Wall, but none on the Antonine Wall. The last effort to reoccupy the region was made by Septimius Severus (193-211 AD), but as he died during the campaign this aim was given up forever. The empire lost its strength in the middle of the third century, but then became stronger again, and survived until the second half of the 5th century AD.
Over its history, after its abandonment by the Roman troops in the 160s AD, the wall quickly fell victim to natural deterioration, beginning with the many wooden parts. The forts built of masonry were used as sources of stone by local populations, while the wall and its ditch were undermined and destroyed as needs dictated.
In the Middle Ages much of the stone material of the forts was used to construct farm houses and other buildings, and the agricultural revolution seriously affected the earthen remains by intensive ploughing. In the 19th century, intensified coal mining left its marks on the nominated site and its buffer zone. Industrial activity considerably increased the population in the region, and more settlements extended their territory towards or over the Wall, except where the Wall ran through estates such as Callendar House and Bantaskine House. Building continued and housing from the 1960s occupies most of the area between the forts of Bearsden and Castlehill. Due to the increasing activity in quarries some remains of the Wall have been damaged and an entire fort (Cadder) vanished as a result of excavation.
The Antonine Wall was mentioned first by the Venerable Bede (c. 730), but it is not sure whether he actually saw it. The first representation of the Antonine Wall was drawn in the 13th century on Matthew Paris' map of Britain. In 1755 William Roy drew the wall with its Military Way from one end to the other.
There are references to the Wall at various historical periods, and its old name of Grymisdyke and Grahamsdyke has survived up to the 21st century. The first inscription of Lollius Urbicus, Antoninus Pius's governor at the time of the construction of the Wall, was found in 1699, which provided a key to the explanation of the origin of the earthwork. The first detailed descriptions of the Wall go back to the 18th century, and archaeological investigations to the 19th century. The most comprehensive publication on the Antonine Wall was the monograph of Sir George Macdonald in the first half of the 20th century.
Since the Second World War intensive investigations have been carried out using aerial archaeology. New papers and monographs have given an account of these investigations.
The "Hadrian's Wall" which was previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the transnational property "Frontiers of the Roman Empire".

Lloyd Webber Bids for Really Useful Buy-backDate: 28 May 1998Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber announced this week that he wishes to buy back full control over his theatrical company, The Really Useful Group (RUG). Rumours surrounding the future of the RUG were sparked last week when minority shareholder Polygram - which has a 30% stake with Lloyd Webber's 70% stake - was bought for �6 billion by Canadian drinks and entertainment group Seagram. These rumours were followed by press reports that Michael Ovitz, former deputy chairman of Disney, was interested in buying the company and was willing to pay up to �150 million. Ovitz's own production company Livent is responsible for hits such as Ragtime and Show Boat in New York and Lloyd Webber's Cats in Toronto. But Lloyd Webber has denied any such possible sale, saying that he intended to buy the remaining stake in his company personally. 'Far from wanting to dilute my involvement, I am eager to acquire the PolyGram minority shareholding if that is available to me and indeed formally made such an offer to Polygram before Seagram's involvement was announced,' he said. In fact, according to an RUG spokesperson, the contract with RUG and PolyGram includes a 'legal pre-emption right' so that, if the stake ever was to be sold, it must first be offered to Lloyd Webber. Lloyd Webber also quashed rumours that financial difficulties persist at the RUG. He said: 'I have never seen The Really Useful Group in such good shape. We have a new team of managers - young and enthusiastic - who are taking the group forward on all fronts,' he said. 'We have expanded the company considerably over the past year with additional staff to work on new projects, particularly in video, record and film.' The RUG spokesperson added to What's On Stage that profit forecasts for this year are in excess of �10 million. He says that Lloyd Webber is especially excited about revenues for film quality videos, which he sees as a way of presenting musical theatre to a whole new audience. Cats has recently been filmed - with full, digital surround-sound - and is due for worldwide video release by Christmas. RUG is also in negotiations for the production to be televised in the UK sometime next year. Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, starring Donny Osmond, is due to be filmed in January or February of 1998. Other upcoming projects include a film of Phantom of the Opera, starring Antonio Banderas, for cinema release. And author Frederick Forsyth is currently writing a novella which may become a sequel to Phantom. Lloyd Webber is scheduled to begin work on the project following the opening of his latest musical, Whistle Down the Wind, which receives its world premiere at the Aldwych Theatre in the West End on 1 July 1998.

CHARLESTON — The Class A State Football Championship Wahama White Falcons were recently honored at the capitol building in Charleston.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin met the team and coaches for pictures. The team was accompanied by Delegate Scott Cadle, a Wahama graduate himself, along with Delegate Jim Butler, Delegate Brady Paxton and former State Sen. Karen Facemyer, also a Wahama graduate.
The team was presented with a special citation at the capitol which reads: "The House of Delegates of the West Virginia Legislature herby congratulates the players, coaches and managers of the Wahama High School White Falcons Football Team on their 2012 championship win."
In recent years Wahama has compiled a 31 game regular season winning streak, and produced three straight 10 and 0 teams. In 2010 they competed for the title but fell short, and until the 2012 season had not won a state championship.
The 2012 White Falcons trailed the entire first half of the championship game and they were behind 21 to 20 in the third quarter, and 42 to 35 in overtime. Wahama scored a touchdown at the end of overtime to come within a point of their opponent. Coach Ed Cromley opted to roll the dice and go for a two-point conversion to win the game by a 43 to 42 margin. Bringing home the first ever Class A State Football Championship title to the Bend Area.
This White Falcon Team has the distinction of participating in a record-setting, most combined points, record- tying, most individual touchdown, and total touchdowns Class "A" Championship game ever. Seven members of the team were named to the 2012 Class "A" All-State Football Team by members of the West Virginia Sports Writers Association. Senior Zach Wamsley was named Captain and to the First Team-Defense. Juniors Kane Roush and Zach Killingsworth were named to the First Team- Offense. Senior Trenton Gibbs was named to the Second Team- Defense and Junior Wesley Harrison to the Second Team-Offense, while Junior Colton Neal was a Special Mention Choice.

When a sexy new interface or theme hits the scene, it's quite common for users to port the look to other forms of technology. We've seen Windows desktops customized to look like Android, Linux desktops made to look like Windows, Android phones that replicate iOS, and every variation in between.
Today, we're going to take a look at a new theme for the GNOME 3 shell in Linux, simply called Ice Cream Shell. As you may have guessed by its name, Ice Cream Shell will give your Linux desktop a very polished ICS look. The shell was created for Ubuntu, but it should work on any version of Linux as long as it's running GNOME 3.
