- This bracelet is durable. I have tried others and they didn't even last a month. My son is six and loves his bracelet.It adjust to fit his small wrist. The clasp is easy enough for him to take it off on his own. I had his name engraved in it and I love that you can buy other bracelts and just slide the slider with all his important information on it.

From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report. Our top stories this week: diamond giant De Beers opens the Diamond Route in South Africa; the first black jeweller from the South African jewellery development projects opens his own retail shop;
A distinctly South African journey - the Diamond Route, which highlights the country's natural beauty, history, cultural diversity and conservation - is now open. Mining Weekly takes a look.
De Beers Chaiperson Nicky Oppenheimer:
And we were lucky too, in the diamond business, that when you found a diamond mine, you generally secured a whole number of other claims because there was quite often alluvial outflows from the kimberlitic pipes, and it was to protect those sorts of things that De Beers acquired landholdings, and quickly started looking after those landholdings, knowing that it was going to have to do that for future generations.
The Oppenheimer properties and the De Beers properties should be joined together in a diamond route, and live up to diamonds.
Christy van der Merwe:
We would like to see the diamond route extend to outside the borders of South Africa, and I think that people whose lives are touched by diamonds - we would hope to touch their lives in the same way, by getting them in touch with the environment, and in my dreams I would like to see that same love that goes with the giving and the receiving of a diamond, being experienced on the environmental level. So that when you receive that diamond, its not only the diamond, its not only the love, it also an appreciation of the earth, and the conservation, and where this diamond came from, and what it symbolises. In a very real way.

By Tristan Harris 23/04 Updated: 24/04 14:40
YOU WOULD have thought in the midst of a severe winter weather warning was not the best time for camping, but the 4 Poofs and a Piano proved that wrong at Bromsgrove's Artrix.
From the moment Dave, David, Ian and Stephen opened their set with their version of Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 the audience were captivated.
What followed was a fantastic stage show that had everything - spoof songs, dance routines, musical instrument playing and, as you would expect, plenty of innuendo and double entendre.
And with the number of costume changes in this two-hour extravaganza going well into double figures, it could have been called 4 Poofs, a Piano and a very big wardrobe. Even the piano was done out in fake red leopard skin.
Among the songs was one about the different celebrities the quartet had met over the years and one about how they were axed from the Friday Night with Jonathan Ross show.
Highlights included the Perfect Pathos Pop Song, which mocked boy band ballads, a cleverly choreographed Swan Lake ballet routine and a medley from the musicals which ridiculed reality TV shows.
That was introduced with the line: 'Do you like musicals? We do. We're four gay men, so it's the law.'
The foursome went further into ridiculing reality TV shows in the second half when they held their own talent show, involving a hysterical hip hop routine performed by Dave.
And it was in the second half when the four really showed their versatility, opening that part with Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, which showcased their vocal range and more great harmonies that were prevalent throughout.
There were also great spoofs of classical music - Ave Maria - and opera - Nessun Dorma.

Two years ago, Tommy Hassan and colleague Albert Kirk embarked on an unusual plan to raise money for the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, by compiling a photo-book with a difference.
But UTV also turned the tables on the cameramen themselves, going to film behind the scenes and talking to some of the familiar faces they recruited for the project.
Shooting For The Stars also meets some of the families supported by the Hospice and hears about the unique services and care provided by its staff.
As it takes £2.5m each year to fund the invaluable work of the Hospice, Tommy explained that he wanted to help raise both funds and awareness - and his photos certainly caught people's attention.
"There is a great shot of Lord Bannside with Ian Paisley Junior which got everybody talking - but you'll have to watch the programme to see how it turned out!" he said.
"The photos are all of local celebrities, but they are presented in rather strange contexts and backgrounds. For instance, we see our own Paul Clark as an injured GI - complete with uniform, helmet and war wounds to match."
A host of recognisable people are transformed, with some more difficult to place than others.
They include stars of UTV, U105 and the BBC, politicians, musicians and many more.
We plan to use all the images in a fabulous coffee table style book to raise funds for this incredibly worthy cause.Tommy Hassan

UTV Channel Editor Paul Clarke said: "In Shooting for The Stars, we go behind the scenes of some pretty outlandish photo shoots with a few of Northern Ireland's famous faces.
"The results are quite brilliant ... if a bit bizarre!"
He added: "Tommy is usually behind the camera at UTV, shooting news and other programmes.
"So when he swapped his video camera for a stills camera to raise money for Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, we turned the tables and sent our cameras to follow him."
And the Hospice was delighted to be chosen as the nominated charity to receive all proceeds from the book.
"Our sincere gratitude goes to everyone involved for making our children and families feel like the real stars," Tina McCrossan, Director of Children's Hospice services, said.

Well, hello!
We're Brandon and Amanda Roth of ARBR Pictures.
(We pronounce it "AR-ber", by the way!)
A few weeks shy of Christmas 2006, we went on our first date. Amanda managed to get tzatziki sauce all over her face, hands, and shirt. She thought she blew it, but Brandon was un-phased. Three weeks later, on a snowy day in January, he asked her to be his girlfriend.
Two and a half years later, on a rainy day in May, we got married. We were young (heck, we still are) and totally unaware of what exactly we were getting ourselves into. Thankfully, very little went according to plan on our wedding day (including the flower girl nearly throwing up on Amanda minutes before the ceremony). It's almost like we needed a reminder very early on that marriage would be messy.
We believe that marriage is the most challenging, beautiful, and meaningful work we'll ever do. We believe that our wedding was just one day in our many days together. Some days, we even think that after nearly six years of marriage, we may finally be getting the hang of it.
Brandon is filmmaker at heart. When he's not daydreaming about short- and feature-length film ideas, he's collecting Criterions or diving into a black and white foreign film. His favorite movies include Sunset Boulevard, It's a Wonderful Life, Blade Runner, and The Royal Tenenbaums. He has a weakness for Ben & Jerry's, loves collecting cigars, and is frequently told by strangers that he has an great beard.
Amanda has been flirting with photography for most of her life. As a child, she would sneak into her grandfather's darkroom or spend hours sifting through her grandmother's stacks of family photo albums. Even at a young age, she was drawn to the stories in those images and the magic of documenting memories. She's inspired by community, is a sucker for sci-fi, and adores sharing meals with friends and strangers.
A bride once told us after her wedding, "When I look at our wedding day portraits, I don't remember it as a time when you made us pose for pictures. I remember spending a quiet hour with my husband in the midst of a busy day... like our normal date nights... and you documenting it."
When we're with you, we'll be tucking away bits of beauty and giving you images that will line your hallways and sit in albums for generations to come. We're not taking photos of you to submit to a wedding blog. We're not aiming for the next viral wedding video. We are there to document your story honestly. We will come alongside a moment, rather than impose ourselves into a moment for the sake of a "nice shot".
We believe it's these photos and videos, not the ones in epic locations with the trendiest poses, that are honest and meaningful.

Cowley Road Carnival delights thousands throughout the city. Reporter HELEN WRIGHT met some of the people who make the carnival happen With more than 30,000 people expected to turn out for this year's Cowley Road Carnival in three weeks' time, there's normally no shortage of Oxford faces at the annual parade.
But this year they are going one further, by celebrating the people that make the summer extravaganza truly spectacular.
The theme for 2014's carnival is Oxford Faces and it celebrates the many different cultures which make up the city.
Last year's event had 35,000 people cheer on the parade, with more than 100 live music acts performing on the day.
More than 600 volunteers and 24 groups will take part in the procession which will travel down Cowley Road on Sunday, July 6.
Charity Cowley Road Works (CRW), which organises the event, chose Oxford Faces as this year's theme to celebrate the city's diversity.
The procession will also feature many beloved fictional faces from Alice in Wonderland, Philip Pullman's Northern Lights and Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
Cheney and East Oxford primary schools will walk in the parade dressed as the gargoyles which top some of Oxford's colleges and buildings.
The Cowley MINI plant, the carnival's main sponsor, will lead the procession represented by a group from Magdalen Road-based Pegasus Theatre.
Many of the 24 groups in the parade will be representing the multi-cultural face of Oxford, including groups from Indonesia, Nepal, Africa, Nigeria, twin-town Leon in Nicaragua, and Ireland.
Danielle Battigelli, chief executive of Cowley Road Works and organiser of the carnival, said: "There is more going on than ever before at this year's carnival.
"We have over 25 venues for music, art and dance, and two big stages. Plus there is food, stalls and licensed bars. With so much happening make sure that your face is seen. Get dressed up and come down."
So far £90,000 has been fundraised by CRW or donated to pay for the festival, but, as reported in the Oxford Mail on Wednesday, it is understood around £20,000 is still needed.
The carnival starts at noon and ends at 6pm and the main procession will start at 2pm and is expected to last for around an hour and a half.
Volunteers are still being sought to help out with the activities on the day, for more information contact Leora Lerba at firstname.lastname@example.com
Emma-Jane Greig, 27, founder of urban dance group Body Politic, will be performing on the dance stage at 3pm on carnival day.
She has been working with a group of 22 street dancers, aged between 11 and 15, to create a special dance for the carnival.
Emma was asked to create the dance after being commissioned by MINI plant, Oxford to work with youngsters and the Pegasus Theatre.
They have been rehearsing for two hours a week since the start of May.
"It is great to be able to dance and perform at the carnival and work with young people," she said, "It is going to be really good."
She founded Body Politic two years ago after teaching dance for four years and has also been working with the Pegasus Theatre for four years. The company's aim is inspire and raise self confidence in young people.
"I think dance is a great for the young people because it because it gives them a chance to express themselves."
Nicola Armitage, 39, is a film maker, videographer and designer who works at the Old Fire Station on George Street.
Last year, along with three other artists, she was asked to make a piece of work about the carnival, so she created a promotional documentary film about the day.
Nicola hopes it will inspire the community to support the event.
This is the Cowley Road - This is the Carnival will be shown at the opening of CUSP (Creative Underground Signposting Project or Carnival's Unbelievably Special People) exhibition at the Old Fire Station on June 20.
She said: "We made the film to encourage people businesses to support the carnival.
"I remember last year and it was amazing, the sun was out and everyone was happy and it was a really great atmosphere."

Zahra Tehrani, 26, pictured with for month-old son Sé Tehrani-White, will be running the Kate Garrett stage outside the O2 Academy on carnival day for the second year in a row.
The Kate Garratt stage will host 10 acts over five hours on the day, which have been picked by a panel of judges.
"Some people who were rejected last year have gotten though this year, so its really nice to see the improvement," she said.
She works with different community groups, including young people and the homeless, teaching courses on music production with an emphasis on urban music.
Miss Tehrani said: "I have been going to carnival since I was a kid, and I grew up on Cowley Road."
The stage has been set up in memory of folk musician Kate Garrett who was a member of the The Mystics in the 1990s.
She spent a lot of time in Oxford but died aged 37 in 2009 after being diagnosed with cancer.
Anya Fox
Anya Fox, 47, has been involved in the carnival for three years and will lead the procession on the day.
She has been organising this year's event since January to get "the logistics" started and trying to engage new groups.
The 47-year-old has also run dance workshops with schools at the Mini Plant and helped them design costumes.
She said: "I moved to the area in 2011 and wanted to get involved in the local community.
"It is really fulfilling, seeing the pride in the children's faces as they perform, that is the bit I get the most out of it.
"Everyone works so hard and it is great to see everyone having fun."
The most difficult thing about putting the procession together has been trying to get everyone lined up at the start.
"Last year was chaotic to say the lease," she said. "We just underestimated how many people would be on the road at the time."
This year the dancers will line up at St Stephen's House, who have opened up their grounds to the cause. Work on next year's Cowley Carnival will start again in January for Anya and her aim is to work with "untapped groups'' in the community.
Carnival creative director Jacqui Grange, 44, came on board at the last minute in April 2013 as creative director and had a mad scramble to get everything in order.
This year she came back to make it "bigger and better".
For Mrs Grange, who is based in Cheltenham and has a background in working in arts and events, it was important that visual arts be emphasised this year and she is delighted that the project was awarded Arts Council funding.
She said: "I always try to do one project outside of my local area every year because it's good to be somewhere else. It is a fantastic event, and it is so important that it happens in the street and that is why I wanted to get involved."
This year Jacqui has worked with more local promoters, more DJs, pubs and music venues will have themed live music and said there will be a "fantastic" dance programme.
Simon Tyrrell, of Finders Keepers in St Clement's Road, will be manning the carnival's information desk during the event for the second year.
He said the company decided to get involved because Cowley Road is "their patch'' and they like to be able to get personally involved in the community.
The 47-year-old lettings agent said: "After 16 years living in London I know that carnivals can be fun, and something I can take my family too.
"Last year we had the information stand roving around but this year we will be in a fixed position. It is wonderful to be here looking after the area."
The stand will be at Manzil Gardens near the main stage throughout the afternoon and will hold information from the days events.
"We are there to help," said Simon.
'Ma' SMITH Icolyn
'Ma' Smith, pictured, says she has been involved in every carnival since it started in 2000.
She runs a stall at the Cowley Road Carnival each year to raise money for the community soup kitchen she helps with at the Asian Community Centre in Manzil Way.
"I do it to raise money for the soup kitchen," she said.
"It varies how much we get but I always look forward to it.
"I like seeing the different people in the community."
Leora Lerba heads up more than 600 volunteers who will be taking part in the festival, and this will be her first year taking part in the events.
After moving from Sydney, Australia, and with a background in arts and culture festivals, she applied for the position and was "super lucky" to get it.
The 27-year-old said: "It has been a big change, but its an amazing city.
"It is very rare for a city of this size to have so much art, culture and music going on in it.
"It is phenomenal and I wanted to get involved in something that the whole community could be a part of."

After placing Jahvid Best on the physically unable to perform list, the Detroit Lions are looking to trade for another running back (Credit: AP Photo)
After placing Jahvid Best on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Monday, the Detroit Lions are now even thinner at the running back position.
The Lions hoped Jahvid Best or Mikel Leshoure would be their answer at the running back position but neither can stay healthy or out of trouble.
Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reported Tuesday that Mayhew has been calling around to teams in search of help.
Kevin Smith is the starter, but he hurt his ankle against the Oakland Raiders over the weekend. Meanwhile, the concussion-addled Best will open the season on the physically unable to perform list and Leshoure has been suspended for the first two games of the season for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Unless the team can find a team willing to trade a running back, the Detroit Lions will have to live and die through the passing game.

Planet Asia - Light Beams
Artist: Planet Asia
Producer: DirtyDiggs
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 2 votes )
Absent from our front page since dropping off reader-acclaimed EP inclusion You Go Slavia in October of last year, Planet Asia returns to kick off his 2014 with Light Beams, a loosie pulled from the vault in honor of Black History Month. Though this joint dates back to 2011, it doesn't show any signs of age—on the contrary, it sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded. Here, beatsmith DirtyDiggs's deft flip of The 5th Dimension's Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In sets the mood as Planet Asia commits what Das Racist might call "metaphysical spiritual lyrical murder." If this unreleased jam's whet your appetite for more, stay tuned; the Fresno representative doesn't currently have any forthcoming projects on the agenda, but we in the Booth will keep you posted as further details emerge.

Have an old file cabinet? A broken water heater? Or maybe even an old car body in your yard? You may want to take it in and turn into cash now.
Steel and iron prices recently spiked. They had been sagging due to the economy, but they are now on the rebound.
In fact, scrap steel is selling for anywhere between $125-250 a ton.
The president of one local auto salvage yard says he sees it as a window of opportunity.
"I don't believe it's going to sustain," said Jeffrey Yaeger of Yaeger Auto Salvage in Weston.
Right now steel supply needs to catch up with demand. Individuals and companies have been holding onto scrap metals until prices improved, but once supply catches up to newly increased demand, price could drastically drop.
Area recyclers believe the high per ton pay rate could last another couple of months.

Sounds really good to me. Reminds me of music I'd see in trailers for sword/sorcery type RPGs on Steam. In my mind I hear epic adventure and battles. Agree w/ Mr. Silva above about the guitar at end - I like how it brings everything back down, kindof like sitting by the fire as the old adventurer is telling these tales to his engrossed grandkids.
One thing I was going to mention was my speakers crackled a bit when playing - not sure if it's normalized or compressed all the way to full scale, but if it seems close to edge and you have room to back off on the peaks that might be worth investigating. Then again it could be just my system, but I don't normally hear crackles on my speakers.

If you get your prescriptions filled at Target, the big-box store has just released an app on the Play Store to help you manage them much more easily. The Healthful (shudder) app lets you submit refill requests, transfer scrips to another store, and can even help you find a cheap generic for your prescribed medication. Oh, and it tracks your prescription fill status, too, so no more annoying SMSs or phone calls.
While Verizon rather weirdly got this OTA well before any of the other major carriers over 2 months ago, Sprint is finally officially announcing that its Galaxy S5 will be receiving the update to Android 4.4.4 starting today.
Seven weeks ago, Samsung jumped the gun and announced that the Sprint version would be getting 4.4.4, and its own update site further alleged that the OTA had gone live way back at the end of September.
If you're the owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for AT&T, you should be getting your Android 4.4.4 OTA update starting today. This will bring you up from Android 4.4.2, and Samsung has packed in a few extras with this 459MB OTA, as well. Namely: Kid mode, SideSync 3.0, Knox 2.0, virtual tour mode in the camera app, and some updated AT&T bloatware.
The Uber app has been added to the list of things-AT&T-won't-let-you-uninstall, and I imagine there are a boatload of bug-fixes and the standard exploit patches you would expect in an OTA of this magnitude.
Odds are good that when you use a smartphone or tablet, you're touching Gorilla Glass. Since its debut in the original iPhone, Gorilla Glass has gone on to become the de facto standard for hardened glass on screens. Today the company is announcing Gorilla Glass 4, which it says is twice as durable as the competition.
Big Red has just announced a pair of (kind of) budget-friendly tablets with LTE just in time for the holidays. So why not give someone the gift of a two-year mobile data contract? Well, maybe you should ask first. At any rate, you can get the LG G Pad 7.0 and 10.1 for $49.99 and $199.99 with a new contract, but these are temporary promo prices.
We knew that YouTube Music Key would start rolling out this week, and it looks like it's in full force at this point. A bunch of us here at AP already have it, and from the look of our tip box, most of you do as well. If not, well, I'm sorry. Here's a quick look at what you're missing.
As expected, we've got offline playback (you can choose to save the videos in 360p or 720p), background playback, and ad-free music videos.
You can navigate the Android TV interface using a remote control or dedicated app, but Google would really like for you to use your voice. Even if you're typing, the company would prefer you search for what you're looking for, rather than browse manually. This is Google, we're talking about.
The TV version of the Google search app has now found its way into the Play Store, which should allow for easier updates going forward, even if there's no particular reason to rush and download it right away.
You guys love Pushbullet, right? If not, it's probably because you haven't used it. This is easily one of the most powerful utilities available on Android, and definitely one worth having installed. And as of today, it's getting even more powerful (or convenient, at least).
As you probably already know, the guys behind Pushbullet never sleep. I've asked them how they seem to gogogo all the time, but they're not giving up on any secrets.
SwiftKey has been my go-to keyboard on every Android device I've owned for the last...long time. Google's stock keyboard keeps getting better and better, but it just can't seem to match what SK can do, and every time it gets close, the SwiftKey guys generally push an update that puts it back in the lead by a large margin.
Today's update, though, is something else altogether. This is probably the most significant update to SwiftKey in the last several months, possibly even longer.

Peter Pan is wonderful and the performers and performance were excellent. Bring your kids for the magic and a wonderful affirmation of childhood and its dreams and fantasies.
Only quibble, this is the second time we have been to the Lyric, and there has been something very dead about the sound amplification and quality. For wonderful music and singing like this, it is really a tragedy to have bad sound. Fine for little kids, as they can at least hear, but much sound and music quality and beauty is lost for all alike.

So if the Colorado River is not providing the water they need due to drought, what in the world makes them think the Great Basin Desert is going to be a more reliable source??? That is one of the driest areas in the United States, they'll pump out the ground water and it will be gone. The climate is likely to become drier, not wetter. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out in 30 or 40 years.

If this project was requested for Utah and not Nevada, it would most likely have
been nixed on all fronts...feasibility, cost, endangered species, the
neighboring states need the ground water, etc. This is approved because the
Democrats (including Harry Reid) are in control.
This is just another way for Obama to get back at the Republicans in Utah. It's cheap, shoddy politics.

It was "Wildest Moments," probably like the rest of Jessie Ware's fans, that hooked me. I just never got sick of it. Devotion is a fantastic album, and her second, Tough Love, is no different. I was behind on listening to this album until a push from Jamie telling me how amazing it was. First play through, I completely agreed. But with every listen it just gets better and better. It's so well rounded – from deeply sexy moments (my favorites: "Kind of…Sometimes…Maybe" and "Desire") to cliché pop ballads (in a good way – like "Champagne Kisses").
Next to the songs I've already mentioned, I keep coming back to her second single from the album, "Say You Love Me." Once I found out she wrote it with Ed Sheeran, I had an "ahhh haaa…" moment. Simply put (as NPR did) – it's very lovely and very straightforward and I very much like it.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Four gay couples from southern Indiana sued the state Friday, seeking to force Indiana to recognize same-sex marriages from out of state and issue licenses to same-sex couples.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New Albany, Ind., asks a federal judge to overturn Indiana's Defense of Marriage Act, which declares same-sex marriages void even if another state recognizes the union.
How long do you wait before you decide I think I'd like to stand up for myself,' said 66-year-old Lane Stumler of New Albany, who wants to marry his longtime partner Michael Drury. How long do you wait to say that?
Multiple rulings around the country have struck down same-sex marriage bans recently – from Texas to neighboring Kentucky. Those all came in the wake of a June ruling in the U.S. Supreme Court that nullified part of the federal anti-gay-marriage law.
Dan Canon, one of several attorneys who are representing this suit's plaintiffs and also handling a similar one in Kentucky, said the attempt this legislative session to add a gay marriage ban to the Indiana's constitution pushed the plaintiffs to act now.
The state's lawmakers approved an altered version of the proposed amendment, but it won't go in front of voters this November. Such proposals must be twice approved by the legislature, unchanged and in consecutive legislative sessions, in order to appear on the ballot. Plus, some argued that the U.S. Supreme Court would likely be the final arbiter of the issue.
I think it's fairly clear the people of Indiana cannot depend upon the legislature and the governor to do what is right, so we're turning to the federal courts to do it, Canon told a news conference.
Already, Indiana law limits marriage to being between one man and one woman, and the state only recognizes out-of-state marriages of the same ilk. Putting a same-sex marriage ban in the state constitution would protect against state-level legal challenges, but would not affect federal suits like the one filed Friday.
Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller said Friday he will defend the law in court.
People of goodwill have sincere differences of opinion on the marriage definition, but I hope Hoosiers can remain civil to each other as this legal question is litigated in the federal court, Zoeller said.
The Indiana couples head to court less than a month after U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn in Louisville issued an opinion Feb. 12 that Kentucky's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages violated the U.S. Constitution's equal-protection clause in the 14th Amendment because it treated gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them.
Unless an appeals court issues a delay, Kentucky will have to grant full legal rights to same-sex couples starting March 20, meaning people can seek name changes, add names to adoption certificates and file joint state tax returns.
Kentucky's attorney general has opted not to appeal, but Gov. Steve Beshear said he will hire outside counsel to pursue the case.
Heyburn is among several federal judges who have issued rulings in support of same-sex marriage, the latest of which came last week in Texas. Two of the rulings – in Utah and Oklahoma – are being appealed to a federal appeals court in Denver.
Gay marriage opponents in Indiana said Friday the lawsuits are exactly what they worried would happen when state lawmakers failed to put a proposed constitutional ban on the November ballot.
This issue now rests in the hands of unelected judges, (just as a majority of our legislators wanted), rather than letting the people of Indiana decide the future of marriage, said Micah Clark, head of the American Family Association of Indiana.
Plaintiff Jo Ann Dale of Otisco, Ind., married Carol Uebelhoer in Massachusetts six years ago. They've been together 35 years, and Dale said not having legal recognition of their marriage creates key problems, including filing tax returns, making medical and end-of-life decisions and even filling out simple forms.

We introduce an extension of the intersection type discipline in which types may contain variables with upper and lower bounds, present an algorithm for deciding the subtype relation in the extended system, and prove that the algorithm is correct. This work was supported in part by the Office of Naval Research and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DOD) under contract number N00014-84-K-0415. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the author and should not be interpreted as representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of DARPA or the U.S. Government. 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1 Introduction The intersection type discipline [?] is a simple, yet powerful language for describing the behavior of programs. Beyond its intrinsic theoretical interest [?, ?], it appears to be an attractive foundation for the type systems of practical programming languages [?, ?]. Although the usual formulations do not allow quantification over types---there ...
