End of an era for merchant banking as Hambros arm sold off for pounds 300m
Saturday 20 December 1997
Hambros yesterday admitted it had failed to revive the flagging fortunes of its 158-year-old investment bank as it revealed plans to sell its banking group to Societe Generale (SocGen), the French bank, for pounds 300m in cash. The deal will lead to yet another round of redundancies in the City.
"We sadly came to the conclusion that we were not making any significant return to our shareholders," said Sir Chips Keswick, Hambros' chairman. Hambros announced in October it had retained Schroders, a rival bank, to help it conduct a strategic review, following a series of disappointing profit figures and fierce criticism of its involvement in the CWS scandal.
Aficionados of UK City institutions will draw at least some comfort from SocGen's decision to retain the famous Hambros name. SocGen is to rename its UK investment banking division SG Hambros, following the tradition set by the numerous foreign banks that have swallowed up British financial institutions over the years.
Hambros yesterday had the dubious honour of becoming the third British banking name to fall into foreign hands in the last two months. Last month, National Westminster Bank (NatWest) sold chunks of NatWest Markets, its investment banking arm, to Bankers Trust, the US bank, and Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, the investment banking arm of Deutsche Bank, the German banking giant. Also last month, Barclays sold parts of BZW, its investment banking arm, to Credit Suisse First Boston, the Swiss-American bank.
The deal will spark yet another round of City redundancies, after recent news that 3,000 City jobs would be cut following the merger between UBS and SBC, the Swiss banking giants.
Philippe Citerne, chief executive of SocGen, said it was too early to detail the likely number of redundancies. "We will try to ensure they [the redundancies] are made in as sympathetic a way as possible," he added. Hambros currently employs around 1,400 people in London. SocGen employs around 1,200.
Those Hambros staff fortunate to be staying will be locked in with golden handcuffs, another feature of the recent wave of consolidation in the financial sector.
Ironically, the break-up of Hambros, then one of two sizeable, fully- listed independent investment banks in the UK, was masterminded by Schroders, the other sizeable, fully-listed independent UK investment bank. The other remaining sizeable independent banks - Rothschild, Flemings and Lazard Bros - are all privately owned.
Despite becoming one of the most famous British banking names, Hambros was founded in 1839 by Carl Joachim Hambro, a Danish merchant. But the distinguished Hambros name was tarnished in recent years by poor results.
The break-up of Hambros, which started on Thursday with the sale of its corporate banking unit to Generale de Banque, the Belgian bank, looks set to continue next year.
Even after yesterday's deal is completed, Hambros plc will still own The Investment Group, including the Hambro Equity Group, a controlling stake in Hambro Countrywide, the property agency, and Hambro Insurance Services, as well as a 44 per cent stake in Guinness Flight Hambro Asset Management.
Yesterday Regent Pacific, one of the most vociferous of Hambros' shareholders, said it was interested in buying the asset management business.
Sir Chips, who will remain chairman of what remains of Hambros, said yesterday he hoped to preside over "an orderly disposal" of Hambros' remaining assets. Sir Chips was also yesterday appointed senior adviser to SocGen.

Poor Klaus doesn't realise…
(This is the kind of thread I will pick up on in the eventual book 3 with some Klaus-centric strips.)
Auryn is very aware of where her name comes from, naming the puppet Moonchild. (Supposedly what Bastian screams in the movie as the Childlike Empress's name. I type "supposedly", because you can't hear really it in the film, but that's apparently what he says in the book. Or whatever that translates in to in German.) Ms Besser would know! That's her job.
( …"Mondenkind." …Curiosity beat me and I looked it up.)
Now, what kind of personality will Moonchild have, I wonder…
(3:10am and the strip is finished! I get about 3, maybe 4 hours before I have to be up with the kid and make sure he lives another day, where I may not. Sigh. Tomorrow night it's gonna be all freelance til 3am. Strip continues to be late! Woo!)

Hey look, it's still tuesday! Nice that I can update on the right day (though hardly the right time) for my 400th Max strip!
It's been a heck of a struggle to get this far, but things are looking good for now thanks to my awesome patreon backers! I know you've been neglected, but I'm working on stuff, I swear. My time is filled with baby these days but dammit, sleep is for the dead.
Thanks everyone who's stuck with me thus far through all the service disruptions, hiatuses, erratic scheduling, etc. I can't say it's going to get better any time soon, but I at least hope the strip is.
Every day.
Onward to 4,000!
One day when I retire, if I'm not bedridden, I'm gonna look in to that Canadian Puppet Museum of Superheroes idea…
Max Overacts 399September 14th, 2014 | by Caanan
I mentioned on the patreon site why things are running late around here, but forgot to mention it in the actual blog! My wife went back to work a couple months early from her maternity leave 'cos we're struggling big time, so I am now juggling full time dad duties with the work. Slowly, Li'l Elias is starting to be able to entertain himself in the little space adjacent to my work area that we set up for him, but not for huge amounts of time. And he's impossible to put down for naps without laying down with him, so I lose hours of the day (that I usually make up during the night from 12 – 3 or 4am). Sometimes I'm a little too tired for that, however, when I have to still get up with him any time between 6 – 8 am..
Anyway, it's all a big adjustment and I don't expect to be behind forever, but as long as I can keep up the two per week pace, I'm happy, and I hope you guys are too!
Thanks for your patience, guys! Hope you've enjoyed the cottage story. Coming soon: Early Stages Acting Camp! FUN!

Join Meir Panim's campaign to "light up" Chanukah for families in need.
The father of Toulouse killer Mohammed Merah reportedly is suing police for allegedly murdering his son.
Mohamed Benalel Merah filed a lawsuit against the RAID elite police who shot his son.
"This is a suit against unnamed persons for murder with aggravating circumstances concerning those who gave the orders at the top of the police," Isabelle Coutant-Peyre, a member of the legal team representing Mohamed Benalel Merah, told AFP.
Mohammed Merah, who murdered four at a Jewish school in Toulouse, was killed last March by police after a 32-hour siege at his house in the southern France city. Merah was fatally shot while jumping from his window during a daylong siege on his apartment in Toulouse.
"You've got 300 to 400 heavily armed people and a guy shut up all alone in his apartment. That alone is enough to raise questions," Coutant-Peyre said.
Merah had confessed to the school killings, which included a rabbi and two of his young sons, and the daughter of the school's headmaster. He filmed himself carrying out the attacks.
AFP reported that the head of the legal team, Algerian attorney Zahia Mokhtari, said he has evidence that Merah was "liquidated," including videos that Merah filmed himself during the siege.

I am trying to retrieve a column value which is of type CHAR(1 Byte) from a table. The value in table is N, but when i use ResuleSet.getObject() to retrieve this value i get N followed by 2 spaces. This behavior is seen only in some environments, say UAT. I did some detailed analysis and found that when we use classes12.jar this issue occurs, but if we use ojdbc14.jar the issue is not there. But i am unable to find an exact reason why this behavior occurs. My applications war file conatins classes12.jar in the WEB-INF lib and jboss lib folder has both these jar files , classes12 and ojdbc. When i give ojdbc14.jar in the endorsed folder in jboss, the issue of spaces is resolved. From this it seems if we have ojdbc14.jar then this issues is resolved. How can i explain clearly why the difference and is there any way to find out in jboss which is the class loading precedence for the jar files in lib folder, which causes issue in one environment but not in another ?

2 Claims.
This invention relates to nozzles yand has for one of its objects the provision of a nozzle that includes several passageways therein and a valv-e for controlling the ilow of liquid through said passageways as desired, including a blow-oil type of strainer in one of said passageways and which latter passageway communicates with a spray port or tip.
Another invention is the provision of a nozzle provided with a valve that is easy to turn regardless of the water pressure against the same, and easy to service and recondition.
A still further object of the invention is a nozzle provided with a one-piece rotary valve body that provides an efficient control for a liquid free from undesirable leakage and which valve is easier to turn than heretofore in valves of the same general type of one-piece plug valves.
In the drawings,
Fig. l is an elevational view of the nozzle showing a spray tip and a straight nozzle tip on the ends of the discharge openings.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the nozzle of Fig. 1 but with the tips omitted.
Fig. 3 is a part elevational, part sectional view of the nozzle taken at right angles to the view in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view through a modified form of nozzle showing a modified valve plug and valve structure.
In detail, referring to Figs. 1 to 3, the nozzle comprises a housing general-1y designated I, provided with an inlet 2 opening outwardly of one side of the housing, anda pair of discharge passageways 3, 4 opening outwardly of the side of the housing that is generally opposite the inlet. Within the said housing is an enlarged chamber 5 in which is rotatably supported a valve body `6, which valve body is provided with a through port 'I and a port `8 at right angles to port 'I and communicating with the latter at a point centrally between its ends.
The outlet passageway'S is preferably in axial alignment with the inlet passageway 2, and said inlet and outlet passageways open into chamber 5 at diametrically opposite points in the cylindrical walls 9 of said chamber, the remaining walls I0, II being at and in opposed relation to each other.
`The -body 6 comprises the central segment of a ball having flattened parallel opposite sides adjacent walls ID, II respectively, and a circular periphery that conforms to spherical contour in cross section, as best seen in Fig. 3.
Coaxial trunnions I2, I3 project from opposite 2 sides of said body lI coaxial with the latter, the trunnion I2 being rotatably supported in a, recess I4 in wall I0, there being a yieldable rubber or composition disk I5 between the base of said recess and the end of trunnion I2.
The trunnion I3 extends through a central opening in wall I l and through a stuffing box I5 tothe outside of the housing where it is provided with a wing member or handle I1 for turning by the fingers of the hand.
The flat Wall II comprises a disk that is threadly secured in an opening in the side of the housing, which opening is larger than the diameter of the body IIi. Thus upon unscrewing the disk II, and loosening a pair of coaxial sleeves at opposite sides of said body 6, as will later be exn plained, the valve body yIi may be freely withdrawn from chamber 5 Without removing the handle Il or uns-crewing the stuiilng box.
An -annular thrust gasket or :collar I8 of yieldable material, such ras rubber or the like, is around the trunnion I3 between disk II vand the plug body `6. While the end of trunnion I3 that extends through the Idisk II and stuffing box I6 is slightly smaller in vdiameter than the portion of the trunnion adjacent the body E and that is within collar I8,.nevertheless the body lli is yieldably held centered in the chamber `5 between walls Ill, II by said collar I8 andthe disk I5.
The spherical peripheral surface of the body -ii is spaced from the cylindrical walls 9 of chamber 5 by sleeves 20, 2| respectively reciprocable in thc inlet passageway 2 and in the outlet passageway 3. These sleeves and the ports l, 8 `are all prefu erably of the same diameter.
Sleeves 20, 2| project into chamber 5 and their projecting ends are of a contour conforming to the spherical surface of the periphery of the body E and said ends are yieldably held in frictional engagement with said spherical surface by means of collars 23, 24 respectively, positioned between the opposite ends of sleeves 20, ZI and retainer rings 25, Z6 that are respectively threaded in the inlet :and outlet passageways adjacent enlarged interiorly threaded ends 21, 28 of said passage* ways.
The collars 23, Z4 and rings 25, 26 are of the same internal diameter as the diameters `of sleeves 2i), 2 I. Rings 25, 2B are adapted to be rotated by a, spanner or screw driver .and by adjusting said rings relative to each other, the body 6 is substantially `suspended between them so that there is little friction between the trunnions and their bearings. By retracting rings 25, 25 the sleeves 2|, 20 will be loosened relative to body `li a suf- 3 cient degree to 'permit free withdrawal of the body from the chamber 5 after disk Il is removed.
From the foregoing description it will'be seen that there is a space between the body I6 and the walls of chamber 5 in which water Ipressure may be around body 5, but when the valve body is in closed position the water pressure in the inlet will tend to .urge-the body against the projecting end of sleeve 2|. The frictional engagement between sleeve 2| and the body is practically all the resistance there is, although the trunnions may offer a little. However, the valve body may be rotated almost effortlessly by two rlngers of the hand even though the water. pressure against the body is say, 300 lbs. per square inch'or more.
The spherical contour of the periphery of the body 6 and the corresponding contour of the projecting ends of the sleeves -enables them to be quickly and easily reground in the field should yleaks develop due to scoring of the lbody or sleeve ends from sand or, other abrasive.
A straight nozzle tip 30 or other nozzle `tip of any desired conformation may be quickly screwed into the threaded end 28 of the housing. Ordinarily this discharge passageway is for a. solid stream.
The discharge passageway 4 preferably opens outwardly of housing in the same direction as the discharge passageway 3,.but it opens into the chamber l5 through cylindrical wall 3 at a point midwaybetween sleeves 2|), 2|. l
The side of housing I is formed with an enlargement 3| through which said passageway 4 extends and said passageway is enlarged at 32 adjacent the point where it opens into cham- .ber 5.
Extending across said enlarged portion 32 in a direction at .right angles to the axis of sleeves 2|), v2| is a tubular screen 33 that i-s preferably of perforated metal. One end of said screen is secured in passageway4 adjacent the point where .it opens into chamber5, while the other end is secured in a bore 34 that is coaxial with the screen I and whichbore opens outwardly .of the enlarged lplug -a .predetermined distance the port 36 is uncovered whereby any Water entering the screen atits end opposite plug 35 will pass through the screen and out of port 36 thus cleaning the screen of any debris, etc.
Discharge passageway 4 continues from the enlargement 32 in gradually decreasing diameter, and angularly relative to the axis of the screen 33 through an exteriorly threaded projection 36' that extends in the same direction as the discharge end 28 of the main body, and substantially alongside said end 28. A spray or fog nozzle tip 3S is adapted to be screwed onto projection 36, or any other desired nozzle tip may be screwed onto said projection.
All water or liquid passing to the spray nozzle 33 must pass through the screen 33, therefore the spray nozzle will not be clogged by debris and rendered useless at a critical time. If the screen should become clogged, it can be quickly cleaned by merely partially unscrewing the .plug 35.
The port `8 in the body 6 functions to deliver `water or liquid to the discharge passageway 4 when the body 6 is turned to close passageway 3 and to place port 8 in registration with the inlet sleeve 20. When the body is turned to the position seen in Fig. 2, both discharge ports are closed, and by rotating the body 6 clockwise (as seen in Fig. 2) the port 'l is aligned with sleeves 23, 2| while passageway 4 is closed.
In the form illustrated in Fig. 4, the housing 40 substantially resemblesthe. body but the does not have a sleeve.
screen 33 and plug 35=are omitted, also the discharge passageway 3 (indicated at 4| in Fig. 4) Instead of such sleeve, the body 42 (similar to body 6) is formed with a bore 43 in axial alignment with the port 44 (corresponding vtofpo-rt 8). The bore 43 is interiorilyfthreaded for a member 45. A plug 46 projects from the bore 43 and is formed with a curvedouter surface that is adapted to slidably engagethe cylindrical surface of chamber 5. A yieldable disk 41 .of rubber or the like, is interposed between member 45 and plug 46 so as to hold the vouter surface of the `plug in yieldable engagement 'with said *cylindrical surface of chamber 5.
Exceptfor theA above, the structure is the same as in Figs, 1 "to-Band the same numbers are used to designate -correspondingparts The pressure of 'plug 4l 'on thewalls of chamber 5 is adjusted by rotation of the member 43 until the body "42 is .practicallysuspended between said Vplugand"s1eevef-2l). While the plug 47 does not `always remain at a point diametrically across chamber 5'from the sleeve 20, nevertheless it functions to relieve' the friction between the trunnions and the housing lsufficiently to 4make an easy 'operating valve.
It is 'tobe..understood that the detailed descripti-on and 'drawings are` not to be considered restrictive ofthe invention, but merely illustrative thereof.

Can I pay for 2 days daycare but only send DS to 1?!

Ok, this is probably a really silly question!
I have found the perfect preschool for DS. It runs a 2 day program for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 yos & a 3 day program for the older kids. It has the option of longer hrs on some days so is funded for CCB etc
I can get my son a place now & this would mean he's gaurenteed a place for once te baby comes BUT I'm not ready for him to go two days. Two is their minimum enrollment but could I hit pay for 2 but only send him 1 to start? Is their some rule with CCR/CCB about this?!
Posted 11 February 2013 - 12:57 PM
I think you can only have a certain amount of absent days before benifit get cancled
Posted 11 February 2013 - 12:57 PM
Our preschool only takes kids once they turn 3 and we have people pay for a spot for their child from the start of the year just so they can hold the spot for when their child turns 3 in April or whenever.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 12:59 PM
I think you are allowed 42 days absent before you dont get the CCR. I don't know anything about CCB.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 01:01 PM
I don't know if there is a CCB rule about it but our centre only takes kids for a minimum od 2 days because the kids a have too much trouble settling in on only 1 day and it disrupts the other children if they have 1 child crying all day. This is reduced when they are there 2 days per week as they settle in much quicker.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 01:02 PM
You only have a certain number of "allowable" absences before your CCB / CCR can get cut off / decreased.
Can you send him two x 1/2 days? Why don't you want him going the 2 days?
I would talk to the Director and discuss with her, they may suggest doing 2 x 1/2 days to start with and then increasing to a full day + 1/2 day until he is settled & then increasing to the full 2 days.
It may take several weeks for him to be happy with more than 1/2 days or he may be fine.
Good luck.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 01:05 PM
Is there any reason he can't go the 2 days?
Posted 11 February 2013 - 02:17 PM
You may not be ready but he may be. I dont see the point of doing just one day. He would probably benefit getting used to that kind of environment cos when he starts school you wont be able to keep him home. Anyway by him going two days it will give u the chance to bond with the baby better and get more things done.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 02:40 PM
Op, also think about other families who may want the spot but can't have it because you are paying for it but aren't using it. That doesn't seem fair to me.
Edited by Wigglemama, 11 February 2013 - 02:41 PM.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 02:44 PM
I think it can be easier for them to settle in if they go two days. Maybe just do two short days?

I agree with this.
Our centre won't let kids in that age group do one day a week. They must do a minimum of two days. The reason isn't financial (so it wouldn't matter if you paid for two days but only used one), it's because - in their experience - kids often find it REALLY hard to settle when they're only doing one day a week. A week is a long time in a little person's life, and they find it hard to go so infrequently.
As others have suggested, why not do two short days a week? Such as 9-2. And then, as you get more comfortable, you could extend the hours a little bit if you need to.
Posted 11 February 2013 - 02:55 PM
Yes you can do that but won't get the rebate after a certain amount of absent days.
If you are ok financially I don't see an issue with it. If morally you are worried about taking up the place be upfront with the daycare and they maybe able to fill the spot for the time being.
Other alternative would be to do 2 shorter days. This isi what I would do as day 1 in the week they usually find it harder but then love day 2
Posted 11 February 2013 - 03:25 PM
OP when I went back to work when DD was that age she had one day with my IL's, my mum and then one day at daycare. It was a nightmare as PP she didn't really settle in as she was only going one day on weds. she cried every weds for a year as she hated going and I could never work out why and then it dawned on me that the carers never knew her name and all the other little kids who went more often played together and did not really know who she was so they must of changed the rules and only allow 2 days for this very reason. I also used to get upset as well when I came to pick her up and none of the carers would know DD by name when I asked for her (they pretended that they did but they didn't) I hated that carers would have been looking after my precious baby all day and not know which one she was but who could blame them as she was only there once a week.
So in answer to your question don't it as it is not fair on anyone and plus once he starts going once a week even if you are paying for 2 you will find it pretty easy to fill another day!!!
Posted 11 February 2013 - 03:31 PM
I have been told by a number of childcare staff over the years that children who attend one day a week find it hardest to settle. If it is an option I would probably go for two short days or two 1/2 days. This way you could start late and finish early and miss out on the times of the day when less is happening (in my experience of childcare the first hour or two of the day and last hour or 2 are less scheduled and more relaxed as children arrive and leave staggered over a period of time).

Thanks for the suggestions. He could do two 1/2 days and come home for his nap. That would be perfect!

Alex Tettey cannot put his finger on why Norwich City have been so poor away form this season, but he is desperate to turn it around.
Norwich have won just twice on their Premier League travels this season, with only Cardiff City having fared worse on the road.
That has left Chris Hughton's side heavily reliant on their form at Carrow Road, where 24 of their 32 points have been won.
Tettey, who has played 16 league games this season, finds it hard to understand the stark disparity but is keen to redress the balance in the remainder of the campaign.
"I don't know what's going on – but there is something going on," the Norwegian told the Pink'Un.
"I don't know what happens when we play at home. All of a sudden we have confidence – even though the last game was a horrible performance.
"We didn't know what we were doing at Southampton (lost 4-2). But all of a sudden, it's all forgotten and we then played like we were in the middle of the table and we were safe (against Sunderland).
"So there is something I think mentally going on that we have to get rid of, because if we can win away from home and win at home, everything will be fine.
"To do that is much easier to sort out off the back of a win, because when you don't win away you have pressure on you to produce at home as well."
Norwich travel to Swansea City this weekend, and also face trips to Fulham, Manchester United and Chelsea before the end of the season.

Sorcerer (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
William Friedkin's long unavailable thriller is finally coming to Blu-ray and DVD...
Starring: Roy Scheider
Released: 22nd April 2014
Further Details:
Following The Exorcist, William Friedkin released an ambitious and, ultimately, very costly remake of Henri-Georges Clouzot's Wages of Fear entitled
The Sorcerer. It flopped and disappeared into cult status for decades. Then, in 2013, Friedkin himself supervised a 35mm restoration with Warner Bros. That restoration is now coming to Blu-ray and DVD. There aren't any specs of extras listed on the press release just yet (aside from the 40-page booklet included with the Blu-ray version), but here are examples of the cover art:

text: Comment Session DisabledComments from user about GL5516: GL5516, Transistorized mechatronic circuits have replaced electromechanical devices in controlling appliances and machinery. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962, early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. Speculative execution is a further enhancement in which the code along the predicted path is not just prefetched but also executed before it is known whether the branch should be taken or not. Some other standards support wider use of VHDL, notably VITAL (VHDL Initiative Towards ASIC Libraries) and microwave circuit design extensions. Actually, all power semiconductors rely on a PIN diode structure to sustain voltage. The analogous field-effect transistor circuit is the common-source amplifier. This creates a much larger current between the collector and emitter, controlled by the base-emitter current. While maintaining full compatibility with older versions, this proposed standard provides numerous extensions that make writing and managing VHDL code easier. RISC microprocessors were initially used in special-purpose machines and Unix workstations, but then gained wide acceptance in other roles. While this required extra logic to handle, for example, carry and overflow within each slice, the result was a system that could handle, say, 32-bit words using integrated circuits with a capacity for only 4 bits each., GL5516, The complexity of an integrated circuit is bounded by physical limitations of the number of transistors that can be put onto one chip, the number of package terminations that can connect the processor to other parts of the system, the number of interconnections it is possible to make on the chip, and the heat that the chip can dissipate. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an entire city. The desire for High definition (HD) content has led the industry to develop a number of technologies, such as WirelessHD or ITU-T G. Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly brake lamps, turn signals and indicators) as well as in traffic signals. This effectively multiplies the processor's potential performance by the number of cores (as long as the operating system and software is designed to take advantage of more than one processor core). On average, every fifth instruction executed is a branch, so without any intervention, that's a high amount of stalling. A problem not solved by this edition, however, was "multi-valued logic", where a signal's drive strength (none, weak or strong) and unknown values are also considered. Normally, whether a conditional branch will be taken isn't known until late in the pipeline as conditional branches depend on results coming from a register. There are some VHDL compilers which build executable binaries. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output., GL5516, Flip-flops and latches are a fundamental building block of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems. These diagrams generally separate the datapath (where data is placed) and the control path (which can be said to steer the data). Integrated circuits were made possible by experimental discoveries showing that semiconductor devices could perform the functions of vacuum tubes and by mid-20th-century technology advancements in semiconductor device fabrication. Be aware that some high-pass filter topologies present the input with almost a short circuit to high frequencies. A different approach to improving a computer's performance is to add extra processors, as in symmetric multiprocessing designs, which have been popular in servers and workstations since the early 1990s. More importantly it also allows the circuit to operate at higher frequencies as the tuned circuit can be used to resonate any inter-electrode and stray capacitances, which normally limit the frequency response. The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two conductors separated by a non-conductor. In response, microprocessor manufacturers look for other ways to improve performance in order to hold on to the momentum of constant upgrades in the market. It was made of Germanium and had a voltage capability of 200 volts and a current rating of 35 amperes. Analog circuits are sometimes called linear circuits although many non-linear effects are used in analog circuits such as mixers, modulators, etc.,

Adriana Lecouvreur, Opera Holland Park
Twelve years after Opera Holland Park's first production of Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, the opera made a welcome return.
Forty-one years is a long time for any partnership to be sustained and to flourish — be it musical, commercial or marital! And, given The Hilliard Ensemble's ongoing reputation as one of the world's finest a cappella groups, noted for their performances of works dating from the 11 th century to the present day, it must have been a tough decision to call an end to more than four decades of superlative music-making.
Daniel Barenboim makes a triumphant departure as direttore musicale del Teatro alla Scala with Beethoven's operatic masterpiece.
Star singer and star composer, a combination guaranteed to bring in the fans. Christian Gerhaher sang Mahler at the Wigmore Hall with Gerold Huber. Gerhaher shot to fame when he sang Wolfram at the Royal Opera House Tannhäuser in 2010.
Verdi's Un ballo in maschera at the Royal Opera House — a masked ball in every sense, where nothing is quite what it seems.
Small country, small opera house — big ensemble spirit. Internationally acclaimed soprano Natalia Ushakova steps in for indisposed local Violetta with mixed results.
Bulgarian director Vera Nemirova's production of Otello for the Romanian National Opera in Bucharest was certainly full of new ideas — unfortunately all bad.
For its current revival of the 2006-2007 production of Giuseppe Verdi's Il trovatore by Sir David McVicar Lyric Opera has assembled a talented quintet of principal singers whose strengths match this conception of the opera.
O Maria Deo grata — 'O Mary, pleasing to God': so begins Robert Fayrfax's antiphon, one of several supplications to the Virgin Mary presented in this thought-provoking concert by The Cardinall's Musick at the Wigmore Hall.
Wagner's Tristan und Isolde at the Royal Opera House, first revival of the 2009 production, one of the first to attract widespread hostility even before the curtain rose on the first night.
On November 22, 2014, Los Angeles Opera staged Francesca Zambello's updated version of Florencia in el Amazonas.
John Adams and his long-standing collaborator Peter Sellars have described The Gospel According to the Other Mary as a 'Passion oratorio'.
Superb conducting from veteran Croatian maestro Nikša Bareza makes up for an absurd waterlogged new production of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Twelve years after Opera Holland Park's first production of Francesco Cilea's Adriana Lecouvreur, the opera made a welcome return.
Director Martin Lloyd Evans re-located the work to the mid 20th century and designer Jamie Vartan provided some stylish 1930's style costumes. Cheryl Barker sang the title role, with Peter Auty as Maurizio, Tiziana Carraro as the Princess de Bouillon, Richard Burkhard as Michonnet, Simon Wilding as the Prince de Bouillon, Ian Beadle as Quinault, Peter Davoren as Poisson, Maud Miller as Mlle Jouvenot, Chloe Hinton as Mlle Dangeville and Robert Burt as Abbe de Choiseul, with dancers from English National Ballet. Manlio Benzi conducted The City of London Sinfonia.

Manlio Benzi conductied The City of London Sinfonia.
Jamie Vartan's sets made imaginative use of the remaining facade of Holland Park House, which was bombed in 1940. The play in Act One took place inside the house with a caravan for Adriana and sundry back stage detritus and spare scenery. These were re-purposed in Act Two to create the stylish modern villa. Act three took place outside Holland Park House, now standing in for the Prince's mansion with the framework of the caravan creating a pavilion, with act four returning to Adriana's caravan, this time revealing a stylish 1930's style wooden interior. Vartan's costumes were stylishly in period with an eye for the niceties; though Adriana was always beautifully dressed, there was just the gentlest hint that her taste was a little bit common compared to the Princess who was very soignée all in white in act two and all in black in act three.
It is a tricky opera to bring off. The opera requires a real diva of temperament in the title role, one who has the capability to sing the long lyric vocal line but who also has some bite. Iit doesn't help that there is also a slightly barmy plot, which no amount of tinkering can remedy. To Martin Lloyd-Evans's credit he didn't try, but presented the act two shenanigans with dramatic commitment, imagination, and a nice element of humour (though no-one giggled thank goodness).
Cheryl Barker made a stylish and glamorous Adriana, bringing a convincing theatricality to the spoken sections and a wonderful sense of spite in the act three extract from Phédre. Her act one solo had a lovely lyric beauty, and a sense of intimacy apt to the humble surroundings (a caravan!). What seemed slightly worrying was that, though poised, her relationship with Peter Auty's ardent Maurizio seemed a little cool a little too perfect (more Joan Crawford than Bette Davis). But Barker's Adriana really came into focus in the last act. Not with the great solo poveri fiori which was finely done indeed, but with the solo where she tells Maurizio that she will not marry him, that for her the crown will be one of laurel leaves. Barker's Adriana was first and foremost and actress and you sense that despite her distress in act four, she would have returned to work because acting was the most important thing in her life. It was a performance which grew on me and in the final act displayed intense power, theatricality and, yes, diva-dom.
Peter Auty made a wonderfully passionate Maurizio, completely believable in the intensity of his passion and the way he was able to distribute his favours equally between two women (Adriana and the Princesse de Bouillon). Perhaps Auty does not have quite and ideally open Italianate sound, it seems a little covered. But his tenor has great freedom and a lovely evenness over the range. And a consistent ability to project Cilea's vocal lines with convincing passion and vibrancy.
Prncesse de Bouillon is a gift of a role, and Tiziana Carraro did not disappoint. She was vibrantly passionate in act two with a thrillingly intense scene with Auty, and then in the subsequent intrigue brought off hiding in a broom cupboard under a sheet with great aplomb. In Act Three, the atmosphere fairly crackled and Carraro's body language was vivid even when she wasn't singing.
Richard Burkhard was profoundly touching as the stage manager Michonnet, very moving in the way he portrayed his unspoken love for Adriana. In many ways Burkhard was the linchpin of the production, the subtly drawn sane man around whom all the mayhem happened. Burkhard gave Michonnet a sympathetically intent feel and to a certain extent rather stole the show with his detailed yet finely sung and understated performance.
The four actors, Quinault, Posson, Mlle Jouvenot and Mlle Dangeville were played four of Opera Holland Park's previous Christine Collins Young Artists, Ian Beadle, Peter Davoren, Maud Miller and Chloe Hinton. They formed charming foursome, always popping up together and combining joy with style and a certain element of fun. Robert Burt made a delightful Abbe de Chazeuil. into everything and far too fond of the young ladies. Whilst Simon Wilding was a fine upstanding Prince de Bouillon.
James Streeter provided the choreography for the highly effective ballet in act three which was danced by principals from the English National Ballet.
Cilea makes great use of the orchestra in the opera, with quite a number of orchestral interludes and the City of London Sinfonia did not disappoint, combining passion and suaveness in their performance. Manlio Benzi conducted with a clear feel for Cilea's idiom. It is easy both to over heat and to undercook the music, and Benzi walked a stylish line between the two, giving us a finely drawn but dramatic performance.
Despite some initial reservations, this was a highly effective and dramatic performance which came together in a powerful conclusion in the last act.

Don Corleone, with journeyman jockey Dean Frates astride, made brothers Carmine and Sal Iorio ecstatic, pulling off the biggest upset in the 32-year history of the New York Derby at Finger Lakes Racetrack on Saturday.Sent off at 59-1 as the longest shot of 10 entrants, the colt – owned and bred by Carmine Iorio and trained by Sal Iorio, Jr. – stalked the pace until making his move past early leader Coined for Success midway around the final bend. Don Corleone opened up a four-length lead at the top of the stretch and dug down through the final furlong to hold off a challenge from the fast closing Seven Come Eleven. Time for the 1 1/6-mile test for 3-year-olds was 1:44.76.The Incurable Optimist colt, out of Twice Forbidden by Spectacular Bid, paid $121.50, $46.40 and $10.80. Seven Come placed and paid $13.20 and $5.90. Work With Me was third and returned $5.10. No bettors correctly picked the superfecta wager (the top four finishers), which paid $277 to anyone simply having Don Corleone as the winner.With the victory, the colt took the second leg of the OTBs' Big Apple Triple for New York-bred 3-year-olds. Multiplication, winner of the first leg, the Mike Lee Stakes at Belmont Park on June 26, died suddenly following a workout at Belmont last week.
