Patrick Administration Proclaims October 12 as Massachusetts Lobster Day
Fresh, local lobster available at a low price
BOSTON – Friday, October 11, 2013 – At the peak of lobster season in the Commonwealth, Governor Deval Patrick has signed a proclamation establishing October 12, 2013 as "Massachusetts Lobster Day." The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) and its Division of Marine Fisheries are encouraging residents to observe it by enjoying local lobsters from their favorite fish markets and restaurants.
"Fishing for lobster is a traditional and economically valuable commercial activity in cities and towns all along the Massachusetts coast," said DFG Commissioner Mary Griffin. "This is a great time of year to get an excellent quality lobster at a good price and we encourage people to enjoy Massachusetts-caught lobster now and throughout the year."
American lobster is low in fat, calories, and cholesterol and high in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, and Vitamins B12, B6, B3 (niacin), B2 (riboflavin), and A.
"Our lobstermen and fishermen have been the backbone of the Massachusetts economy for generations," said Senate President Therese Murray. "I encourage residents in Massachusetts to enjoy locally-caught lobster on October 12th and to continue supporting our fishing industry throughout the year."
"Our lobster and fishing industries are cornerstones in Massachusetts' cultural heritage and diverse economy," said Rep. James M. Cantwell. "Recognizing our lobstermen honors the industry's rich role in the history of Massachusetts and New England."
The Massachusetts lobster industry is diligent in its effort to conserve the lobster population. Harvesting is regulated by strict controls on licenses and traps fished, as well as biological measures to protect and conserve lobster populations, such as minimum and maximum legal sizes, and the mark and release of reproductive females. Massachusetts lobstermen are also at the forefront of efforts to protect marine mammals. Massachusetts is the first and only state to require lobstermen to fish exclusively by "sinking" lines between traps in state waters, minimizing the risk of trapping whales and other marine mammals.
"I would like to thank the Patrick Administration for their continued support of the Commonwealth's lobster industry," said Bill Adler, executive director of the Massachusetts Lobstermen's Association. "Lobster is a perfect meal for every special occasion, especially during the holiday season. Besides having a delicious and healthy dinner experience, you will also be supporting our Massachusetts lobstermen."
Facts about lobster and the Massachusetts lobster fishery:
- In 2012, Massachusetts commercial fishermen landed more than 14.4 million pounds of lobster in Massachusetts, generating a gross income of more than $53.4 million.
- The commercial lobster fishery is the second most valuable fishery in Massachusetts, after the sea scallop fishery, and the most valuable fishery conducted in state waters.
- Massachusetts has the second most valuable American lobster fishery in the nation.
- Massachusetts' lobster fishery generates about $250 million for the Commonwealth's economy by doing business with marine suppliers, bait dealers, lobster dealers, seafood processors, restaurants, retail outlets, supply manufacturers, fuel sales, boat and engine builders, banks and insurance companies.
- More than 1,400 commercial lobster permits were issued to fishermen in 2013; Massachusetts also issued more than 9,000 recreational lobster permits.
- A total of 52 Massachusetts ports have commercial lobster trap fishermen.
- The Massachusetts lobster trap fishery is conducted by individual, small, owner-operated enterprises.
- In 2013, Governor Patrick authorized the sale of frozen shell-on lobster tails inside Massachusetts.
The Department of Fish and Game (DFG) is responsible for promoting the conservation and enjoyment of the Commonwealth's natural resources. DFG carries out this mission through land protection and wildlife habitat management, management of inland and marine fish and wildlife species, and ecological restoration of fresh water, salt water, and terrestrial habitats. DFG promotes enjoyment of the Massachusetts environment through outdoor skills workshops, fishing festivals and other educational programs, and by enhancing access to the Commonwealth's rivers, lakes and coastal waters.

New Pico lodge to honor Vt. OlympianBy Kevin OConnor
STAFF WRITER | December 07,2012
Andrea Mead Lawrence was a Time magazine cover girl in 1952.KILLINGTON The name of the late Vermont native Andrea Mead Lawrence the only U.S. woman to win two skiing gold medals at one Olympics is destined to live on in the history books.
And, soon, on the new $1.3 million headquarters of the states largest year-round sports program for people with disabilities.
Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports is partnering with Lawrences family and the Pico Ski Education Foundation to raise money for the Andrea Mead Lawrence Lodge at Pico Mountain.
This is where my mothers roots began in her skiing career and her love of mountains, daughter Quentin Andrea Lawrence said in a statement, and if she can inspire families of up-and-coming skiers as well as those with disabilities who are drawn to the mountains, then this is where we believe that she should be immortalized.
Lawrence, who was born in Rutland and whose parents founded the Pico ski area where she grew up, landed on the cover of Time magazine at age 19 during the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, Norway. She remained in the spotlight a half-century later when Sports Illustrated named her the top Vermont athlete of the 20th century.
An environmental activist who in later life formed the nonprofit Andrea Lawrence Institute for Mountains and Rivers, the skier marked the 50th anniversary of her Olympic slalom and giant slalom wins by helping carry the ceremonial torch at the 2002 games in Salt Lake City. There, historian Bud Greenspan named her Greatest Winter Olympian of All Time.
Vermont Adaptive and its more than 500 volunteers aim to help people with disabilities score their own personal victories. The nonprofit offers specialized sports education, equipment and events including skiing, snowboarding, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, tennis and horseback riding.
The Lawrence family including sons Cortlandt and Matthew and daughters Deirdre, Leslie and Quentin has committed to help raise the $250,000 necessary to complete the facility.
In addition, U.S. Paralympian champion Sarah Will who hasnt missed a Pico ski season, even after an accident that broke her back and paralyzed her from the waist down will help with the campaign and be honored with her name on the lodges Access for All entrance and elevator.
Vermont Adaptive started construction on its new headquarters this fall and hopes to finish fundraising this winter. It is set to officially announce the project at a public noontime ceremony at Pico on Saturday, Dec. 15 the first day of the areas ski season and 75th anniversary celebration.
People interested in donating can contact Vermont Adaptive executive director Erin Fernandez at 353-8129 or firstname.lastname@example.com or log onto www.vermontadaptive.org.
Lawrence lived her later years in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., before dying of cancer at age 76 in 2009. She returned to her home state for her 2002 induction as the first person in the Vermont Ski Museums Hall of Fame in Stowe and her 2005 honorary degree from Green Mountain College in Poultney.
As Pico Mountain begins to celebrate its 75th anniversary, it makes perfect sense to keep her legacy at the forefront of skiing in this community, Tom Aicher, secretary of the Pico Ski Education Foundation, said in a statement. Naming this building in her honor will do just that.

| 1000 Kisses Deep by B Never Too Busy To Be BeautifulThis was instant winner for me. I love orange scents on me but sometimes they can be overpowering, this really is such a gentle blossom smell it really feels like you are out for a walk on a spring day rolling in the blossom with the one you love! Later in the wear I get macaroons and powder which also smells yummy. I find I relate to Simon Constantine's perfumes! Since I have been learning about perfumes I can get very overwhelmed with complex scents and it bothers me when I can't pick out all the notes! But I like that with his scents I know what I'm smelling! It's probably because I am a novice but I find him very inspirational. 01st April, 2011 |
| Aqua Manda by GoyaI would love to smell this fragrance again. My Mum used to wear it in the 70s and 80s. It was a lovely spicy orange but not too overpowering. I remember it being a very happy sunshine fragrance. She now wears Lush Karma from time to time which she says reminds her of this. Patchouli and Orange a go go! I would say Karma is sweeter and spicier with a harsher edge than aqua manda but it may be my memory playing tricks on me. 30th March, 2011 |

Brute force RDP attacks depend on your mistakes
Kaspersky reports that brute force attacks against RDP servers are on the rise. But they don't work unless you have done a poor job securing your server.
Kaspersky reports that brute force attacks against RDP servers are on the rise. But they don't work unless you have done a poor job securing your server.
Samsung announced today that Dell is offering the first Non-Volatile Memory express PCIe SSD in the new R920 server. Need to squeeze every bit of performance from your servers? This is good news. Here's why.
Starting March 12, Microsoft will begin charging customers for Oracle software running on Windows Azure. Here's how the pricing and licensing will work.
Amid a 3.7 percent drop in worldwide revenue for the quarter largely from weaker Unix server demand, HP overtook IBM in terms of market share on improved sales for x86-based ProLiant servers, according to IDC.
Oracle will no longer be supporting Glassfish Java Enterprise Edition Server business users.
Facebook's open hardware chief Frank Frankovsky on why it won't go back to traditional mass market servers and how open sourcing datacentre design is helping it build more efficient and reliable server farms.
MS13-061, released on Tuesday to address 3 vulnerabilities in an Oracle component in Exchange Server, causes data to be inaccessible in Exchange Server 2013. Microsoft has pulled the update and released guidance for how to work around the problems it causes.
Oracle CEO Larry Ellison maintains Google is evil and says Apple will never be the same without Steve Jobs. Discuss.
IDC figures suggest IT powerhouses in eastern European markets are slowing in server sales, based on weak demand for traditional x86 servers.
Price cuts for AWS' MySQL, Oracle and SQL Server services highlight how the cloud computing war revolves around pricing and scale.
The new x86 server infrastructure essentially combines Dell hardware with Oracle software.
Servers are big boxes of stuff just waiting to break. Over the weekend I got to play network administrator, and the experience has convinced me it's time to get rid of my dedicated server and move everything to hosted services.
Servers are fun again as Intel and HP pitch new architectures for the datacenter. Server market upheaval is sure to follow---and probably rhyme with what the PC industry has seen.
HP's bet to be a server leader revolves around hyperscale servers, targeted workloads, power savings and better density. At stake is HP's reputation as an innovator.
For HP, Project Moonshot is about more than just ARM servers. Sure, HP can get some hyper scale server volume, but the launch is really about the company's image.
Larry Ellison revealed that Oracle is planning to start moving many features of its software and database portfolio onto silicon and hardware.
The newest release of Microsoft's BizTalk enterprise-integration server is set to arrive on April price lists with a new per-core licensing model attached.
The technology giant has released a software update for iPhone and iPad users, following reports of an Exchange Server calendar related bug that would overload servers.
Low-power servers will grab 10 percent of the server market in the next three years, with Intel and ARM already positioning themselves for the coming battle.
AMD is the first to unveil its Open Compute Project "open source" motherboard. Called the Open 3.0, the board is suitable for cloud server, storage servers, and high-performance computing clusters.

The cameo was an old pin, with the pin connector broken. It is not fine jewlery - just base metal, or maybe brass. I found it in a garage sale. I glued it to backing, because it had sharp edges on the back. The cabochon technique was worked around it. Using the cab technique is a wonderful to reclaim or save broken or sentinmental items.
Lovely, with an old world charm!

This is a Step-by-Step Instructable on how to grow bell or chili peppers from your favorite store bought varieties! And regardless of colour, flavor, or size, all peppers are grown pretty much the same way making this is a very fun, cheap, and easy to do project that I'm sure anyone of any age would enjoy doing!
So read on and learn how to grow some of these for yourself!
PS, i know the intro image is awful, no need to remind me xD
Step 1: Materials
(I used for this instructable but they're not necessary)
+Peppers or Pepper Seeds
- Any variaty of pepper will work
- If getting seeds, i wouldn't recommend getting hybrids, they are very simple to grow and are very resilient and strong, but seeds harvested from these peppers will likely be inferior to the origional plant. They will lack the "vigor" they had before.
All of these are optional.
+ A seed germination set-up
+ Soil (Sphagnum Moss, Cheap Soil, Quality Soil --mixed)
+ Plastic Baggies
+ Brown Paper Bag
+ and some Pots!

You really should avoid using Peat Compost Soil. Peat-bogs are carbon sinks storing huge amount of carbon accumulated in thousands or tens of thousands of years! Using them as same as using fossil fuels. I would recommend a more sustainable alternative.
Freshly harvested Pepper seeds should be put in a jar, screw the top on, and shaker up gude! When the seeds stop twirling around, the ones that sink are the good ones.
If the seed is old and dried out, you should soak them for a long while and shake it then. Viability decreases with age. after a few years there's no chance of the seed germinating. Stored in an airtight container and kept in the freezer will keep the dried seed for longer. Allow the container to reach room temperature with the lid on to avoid condensation on dried materials.
Dry the seed in front of a fan, stirring occasionally. If the seed comes from really hot peppers, you should add a little dish liquid to the water and dissolve the oil which contains the capsaicinoids, and you may keep your head while processing further. Dried seed should be separated from chaff by threshing.
The round planter has a "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" and in the long one I just threw in some packets of crushed chili from a fast food vendor as an experiment. I understand these packets are usually from Cayenne. Has anyone tried this before with any luck? If they're radiated when processed, I suspect they're all dead and will not sprout.
I have several more 1 inch tall "Trinidad Scorpion Butch T" plants growing inside that I plan on growing in a "Topsy Turvy® Hot Pepper Planter" when they get a little bigger.
happy gardening and post again

You might have more luck with this technique with fruits from a farmer's market. It would also be much easier to get in contact with the farmer to find out about varietal information.
Have you gotten any fruit from your plants yet? How did they turn out? Did you get lucky?
Source: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cnyplantcycle
I love peppers but they never do well in my garden, unless I feed them so much stuff that I may as well get store bought. Then they are never as big. I am in zone 6.
I just bought Habanero seeds that were freakin' expensive... I hope that I can save the money next year by propagating them!
Yes, green pepper will turn red, but a red pepper has a very different taste.
I usually buy organic veggies when I try to extract seeds for drying.
Not a guarantee but I usually get the good ones.
Nice peppers,
Mine are not always as nice, peppers are a small challenge. 8)

We should all be eating more dietary fiber to improve our health - that's the message from a health review by scientists in India. The team has looked at research conducted into dietary fiber during the last few decades across the globe and now suggests that to avoid initial problems, such as intestinal gas and loose stool, it is best to increase intake gradually and to spread high-fiber foods out throughout the day, at meals and snacks. Writing in the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health, the team offers fruit, vegetables, whole-grain foods, such as muesli and porridge, beans and pulses, as readily available foods rich in dietary fiber.
Dietary fiber, also known as roughage, is the general term of the non-digestible parts of the fruit and vegetable products we eat. There are two forms soluble and insoluble. Soluble (prebiotic, viscous) fiber that is readily broken down or fermented in the colon into physiologically active byproducts and gases. The second form is insoluble fiber, which is metabolically inert, but absorbs water as it passes through the digestive system, providing bulk for the intestinal muscles to work against and easing defecation.
Vikas Rana of the Rain Forest Research Institute, in Assam, India, and colleagues point out that research has shown that modern food habits have, it seems, led to an increase in the incidence of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and type 2 diabetes. These are growing more common even in developing nations where a "western" diet of highly processed foods, high in sugars and saturated fats, beef and dairy products and low in dietary fiber is displacing more traditional options. The team suggests that evidence points to a loss of dietary fiber in the diet as being a major risk factor for health problems but one of the simplest to remedy without recourse to major changes in diet or the addition of supplements or so-called functional foods and nutraceuticals to the die

The installer is capable of downloading and installing the latest MPlayer and MPlayer codec packages during setup, although an alternative installer is available with MPlayer included for off-line installs.[8]
Since SMPlayer is built with Qt and is based on MPlayer, this makes it quite portable, since MPlayer and Qt are already available on all major operating systems. On the operating systems on which SMPlayer has not yet been ported to, it is likely possible to run the application through binary compatibility with another Unix or Linux.
In addition to the Windows packages, official binary packages are provided for Ubuntu. Many distributions provide packages in their repositories.
For FreeBSD, SMPlayer is available for installation from source via the ports tree and also available as binary packages for most major FreeBSD releases.
OpenBSD also provides binary packages and is available in its ports collection as well.
SMPlayer is not available yet on NetBSD or DragonFly BSD, either in binary format or in pkgsrc. NetBSD should be able to run the FreeBSD binary without much trouble.
Mac versions are discontinued
- UMPlayer: In addition to the features of SMPlayer, it has integration with SHOUTcast streams and proper support for Mac OS X.[9][10][11] The SMPlayer FAQ advises UMPlayer users that the same features have been added and that SMPlayer is more frequently updated.[12]
- SMPlayer2: A temporary fork —until mplayer2 receives a new IPC mechanism— targeted at mplayer2 users. Now[when?] dormant as the developer moved on to mpv, a fork of mplayer2.[citation needed]

Bottle Rocket's SPIN Play for iPad Featured in iTunes
Now that iTunes allows for subscriptions, more magazines are putting out iPad apps. The best ones, such as SPIN Play - developed by Bottle Rocket - offer new experiences beyond turning the iPad into a fancy page viewer, and that is one of the reasons that SPIN Play for iPad is featured in iTunes this week.
It's a digital version of the current issue (which you can buy for $1.99 per issue or $7.99 for a year's subscription), and it includes other features such as:
- Recent top stories
- Exclusive behind the scenes videos
- Playlist of about 60 songs hand-selected by Spin's music editors
- Streaming audio with Airplay
- Ability to download songs
Now you can actually play some of the songs the writers are reviewing, and you can decide which music reviewers share the same musical taste as you.
commentApple's iPad 2, iOS4.3 and Bottle Rocket's Involvement
As a follow up to Apple's iPad 2 and iOS4.3 announcement at the beginning of March, Bottle Rocket was proud to have Discovery Channel HD featured at the event for users and the press to experiment with AirPlay, where you tap on the AirPlay icon and the video begins playing on your Apple TV.
Read, listen and watch more of your favorite quality programming on some of these great iPad apps developed by Bottle Rocket:
commentSPIN Play for iPad, Developed by Bottle Rocket, Now in iTunes
SPIN Play for iPad, developed by Bottle Rocket, is a new concept in music discovery from the publishers of SPIN magazine and SPIN.com. The app is free to download and includes a steady feed of news and reviews delivered directly from SPIN.com.
For $1.99 per edition (or a $7.99 annual subscription), users receive 60-plus streaming songs and 30-plus streaming videos - curated by SPIN's editors - along with the kind of forward-thinking, authoritative editorial (and shareable) content on which SPIN has built its brand.
Each edition enables consumers to watch and listen to artists as they read about them, resulting in a totally immersive experience.
commentDiscovery Channel HD for iPad, Developed by Bottle Rocket, Featured in The Daily
In The Daily's App Watch section, they describe the Discovery Channel HD for iPad app as "just...awesome". The app allows you to catch clips of its hit shows such as "Life", Mythbusters" and "Deadliest Catch". What helps make this app so interesting is the many personalities that are integrated into the app, such as Bear Grylls, who subjects himself to self-torture to showcase survival techniques and Mike Rowe who willingly takes on any gross job. An additional bonus is that you can check out upcoming episode schedules.
If you haven't already, download the Discovery Channel HD for iPad app, featured as the #1 iPad app in iTunes and now in The Daily. Bottle Rocket is happy to be a part of such a successful app!

I worked at ATA Services full-time (more than a year)
ProsVery casual atmosphere, manager came in shorts and a t shirt most days. Flexible work hours. Very small company, everyone gets to wear lots of hats.
ConsOwner and sr. management don't always communicate what the current strategy is going to be. There are always plenty of good ideas, sometimes it's hard to know which good idea is being pursued today. Projects are often assigned and started only to be abandoned without notifying the person or people working on the project.
Advice to ManagementAdviceNepotism got its own name because it's usually a bad idea.

Janet Jackson Gets Real
Been hoping to see even more of Janet Jackson in the near future? Yeah, no one else really has, either, but more Janet is exactly what the world will be getting, according to Variety.
Ms. Jackson (if you're nasty) will be filming a new reality series for MTV. Casting has already begun!
The as-yet-untitled project will feature Jackson searching "YMCAs, church groups [and] local community centers" for "the next Janet Jackson or Justin Timberlake or Usher," says executive producer Dave Broome (the man responsible for The Biggest Loser).
Hmm; a reality show featuring a celebrity in search of the next version of herself. There seems to be a lot of that going around lately.

The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Here's a great little blog that I travel out to quite often. Helena highlights everything design and shares regular inspiration on fashion, food, travel, home, party decor… you name it!
My favorite is a regular post called "My Stuff Series" where she creatively shares the loves of a fellow blogger (from places to shoes to bedding to perfume) and I always walk away eager to try out a new shampoo or lip gloss, or hunt down that great cardigan that was featured (the series is based off of Vanity Fair's "My Stuff" series and is plenty of fun).
I love Helena's casual writing style (almost as if you really were peaking into her 'diary of lovely') and the fun images she includes. She's all-over-the-board talented and super cute. You don't want to miss her interview answers to PDB's four questions – especially Helena's highlights of favorite trends and all of the fabulous images! (Did I mention she lives in London?? Added bonus).
Let's jump right into the interview with A Diary of Lovely….

Makes 4 servings
active time
10 min
total time
25 min
- 8 ounces medium egg noodles
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3/4 pound large sea scallops (about 15; tough ligament removed from side of each if attached), halved horizontally
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water , uncovered, until almost al dente, about 5 minutes, then stir in peas and cook until noodles are al dente, about 2 minutes more. Drain in a colander, then transfer to a platter and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
While noodles cook, pat scallops dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then add scallops. Increase heat to high and sear scallops, turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, 2 minutes total. Transfer to platter with noodles and keep covered.
Add wine to skillet and deglaze by boiling, stirring and scraping up any brown bits, 1 minute. Stir in water and cream and boil until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in chives and pour sauce over scallops and noodles.

Incorporating quality by design into process development in a contract manufacturing environment can be challenging. In this case study, design of experiments was used to identify the key and critical operational parameters and their targets for hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) used in the purification of an antibody. Six parameters that typically influence HIC performance were assessed for their effect on elution profile, product yield, and resolution between product and product-related impurities. Statistical software was used to design experiments and analyze the data. The data established wide ranges for some parameters and tighter controls were required for others that had a significant effect on product yield. Some of the parameters also influenced the elution profile and the resolution of product from product-related impurities. These bench-scale studies established a design space that delivered product with reproducible quality and yields during manufacturing.
The aim of pharmaceutical development is to design a manufacturing process to consistently deliver a quality product. The knowledge gained from development studies and manufacturing experience provide scientific understanding to support the establishment of design space.2 The immediate benefit of a well-established design space is knowledge of process parameters that need to be monitored or controlled, which results in a robust manufacturing process.2 Product quality attributes can be accurately and reliably predicted over the design space.3 This allows continuous improvement, which, in turn, improves efficiency by optimizing a process and eliminating wasted efforts in production.4 Furthermore, the process can be optimized using less time, effort, and cost because changes in the design space do not require regulatory pre-approval.

Red Rackham's Treasure (French: Le Trésor de Rackham le Rouge) is the twelfth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Tintin and Captain Haddock believe that the treasure of pirate Red Rackham is in the remains of the sunken ship, the Unicorn, and they launch an expedition to find it.
The story was produced during the German occupation of Belgium and was first serialized in Le Soir Jeunesse, children's supplement to Belgium's leading newspaper Le Soir, from 19 February 1943 to 23 September 1943 before being published in book form the following year. Red Rackham's Treasure is the second volume in a two-part adventure begun in The Secret of the Unicorn (1943).
The book is notable for its introduction of main character Professor Calculus. It is the best-selling book in the Tintin series.
In the previous adventure, The Secret of the Unicorn, Tintin and Captain Haddock discover three parchments revealing the location of the Unicorn, a 17th-century navy ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. The Unicorn was scuttled by Sir Francis while battling the pirate Red Rackham for his treasure. Tintin and Haddock believe that the pirate's treasure is in the remains of the sunken Unicorn.
Tintin and Captain Haddock hire a fishing trawler, the Sirius, to search for the treasure. As the crew prepare for the search, their plans are discovered and publicized by the press, forcing Tintin and Haddock to deal with numerous strangers claiming to be Red Rackham's descendants and insisting on a share of the treasure. They are quickly driven away by Haddock, who reminds them he is the descendant of the man who killed Red Rackham.
Another petitioner is Professor Cuthbert Calculus, an eccentric and hard-of-hearing inventor who offers the use of a special shark-shaped, electrically powered one-man submersible to help search for the sunken ship without being bothered by the numerous sharks in the area. The treasure hunters turn him down and prepare to embark.
Before Tintin and the Captain clear the port, the two detectives Thomson and Thompson join the crew to protect their friends from the possible threat of the rival treasure hunters, the Bird brothers. Shortly after departure, Tintin and Haddock discover that Calculus has stowed away on board. The professor has stashed the unassembled parts of his submarine in the hold, removing the Captain's crates of whisky in the process. Despite initially threatening to throw Calculus into the hold on bread and water, Haddock grudgingly decides to keep him along for the trip.
Tintin and Captain Haddock reach the location stated in Sir Francis Haddock's parchments. Initially, the party cannot find anything at the coordinates (20°37′42″N 70°52′15″W / 20.62833°N 70.87083°W, off the Mouchoir Bank), but then Tintin hypothesizes that Sir Francis Haddock used the Paris Meridian instead of Greenwich (which would yield 20°37′42″N 68°32′1″W / 20.62833°N 68.53361°W, off the Navidad Bank). Sure enough, the ship reaches an unknown and uninhabited island. As they come ashore to explore it, the Captain stubs his toe on a piece of wood protruding from the sand, which is excavated and turns out to be the remains of Sir Francis Haddock's jolly boat. As they penetrate into the interior of the island, they encounter numerous skulls, which Tintin deduces are the remains of the island's cannibalistic former inhabitants. There is also a magnificent pagan icon of Sir Francis, and numerous parrots that repeat the Haddockian argot, which an amused Tintin realizes has been passed down for generations.
Calculus's submarine proves useful in searching for the sunken Unicorn. While facing complications like shark attacks, they discover a strongbox of old documents, the figurehead of the ship, and to Captain Haddock's delight, a large supply of vintage Jamaican rum. When the crew spots a large wooden cross on the island, Tintin believes it could be "the Eagle's cross" mentioned in Sir Francis' parchments marking the treasure's location, until he realizes they are following a false lead. There are further dives to the wreck, but the crew are unable to find the treasure itself and they go home disappointed.
Calculus's examination of the documents from the retrieved strongbox allows him to determine that Sir Francis Haddock was the owner of the large estate of Marlinspike Hall, the former home of the Bird brothers. Upon this discovery, Tintin insists that Haddock must purchase the estate, which is up for auction. Calculus, who has received large sums of money from the government after a profitable sale of his submarine design, helps his friend acquire his family home.
After purchasing the Hall, Tintin and Captain Haddock explore the cellars of the main house. Amongst the Bird Brothers' cluttered antiques they find a statue of Saint John holding a cross. Tintin suddenly shouts out, "The Eagle's cross!" as he remembers the Saint is called "The Eagle of Patmos". At the statue's feet is a globe. On it, Tintin locates the island where Sir Francis Haddock was marooned. He touches that point and discovers it to be a trigger button—the globe springs opens and Red Rackham's treasure is found hidden inside. The story concludes with the various artifacts salvaged from the Unicorn on display in the Maritime Gallery in Marlinspike Hall, as Tintin, Haddock, and Calculus reflect on their happy ending. Professor Calculus, whose semi-deafness is an ongoing source of humour, quotes "All's well that ends well."
Red Rackham's Treasure was to be the second part of a story arc that had begun in the previous adventure, The Secret of the Unicorn; this was the first two-part arc that Hergé had utilised since Cigars of the Pharaoh and The Blue Lotus (1934–36).[1] However, as Tintinologist Michael Farr related, the connection between these two 1940s stories would be far closer than the earlier two-part arc, in which the stories were largely "self-sufficient and self-contained".[2]
By the time Red Rackham's Treasure had finished appearing in Le Soir, Tintin's next adventure, The Seven Crystal Balls, was not yet ready for publication. Crime writer Paul Kinnet came up with a storyline which starred Thomson and Thompson and had them investigate the disappearance of their farmer friend, on whose farm they can be seen working at the end of the book in much the same way as they did on the Sirius.[3] However this idea was never used.
Red Rackham's Treasure introduced the character of Professor Cuthbert Calculus to The Adventures of Tintin, who would go on to become a recurring character.[4] Hergé had made use of various eccentric professors in earlier volumes of the series, such as Sophocles Sarcophagus in Cigars of the Pharaoh, Hector Alembick in King Ottokar's Sceptre, and Decimus Phostle in The Shooting Star, all of whom prefigure the arrival of Calculus.[5] Visually, Calculus was based on a real scientist, the Swiss inventor Auguste Piccard, who had been the first man to explore the stratosphere in a hot air balloon. Hergé had observed Piccard walking about Brussels on a number of occasions, however the character of Calculus would be notably much shorter than Piccard.[6] Hergé named this character Tryphon Tournesol; while the surname meant "sunflower", the forename was adopted from a carpenter named Tryphon Beckaert that Hergé had encountered in Boitsfort.[7] Tryphon Tournesol was later converted to Cuthbert Calculus in an English translation and Balduin Bienlein (meaning "Little Bee") for the German translation.[7]
Calculus' shark-shaped submarine was visually based on a real American submarine; Hergé had seen a picture of this in a German newspaper.[8] The diving suit worn in the story was also based on clippings that Hergé had accumulated, while the dockside bar depicted by the cartoonist is also based on an illustration that he had collected.[9] The tribal effigy found on a Caribbean island by Sir Francis Haddock was based on a Bamileke tribal statue from Cameroon that Hergé saw in a museum.[10] The Sirius, which had appeared before in The Shooting Star, was named after the SS Sirius, the first ship to cross the Atlantic Ocean solely under steam power, but was based on another ship called the John-o.88 which Hergé had sketched in Ostend docks.[11][3] The instance in the story in which a shark swallows the camera is based on a real account from the American underwater photographer Otis Barton, which Hergé had encountered in a French illustrated magazine.[9]
Hergé made a comical reference to the French comedian Sacha Guitry in the story by adverrtising a play by Guitry titled Me in which Guuitry himself plays every role.[12] The adventure was the first to depict Tintin wearing a white shirt under a blue sweater; this would go on to become the character's iconic costume.[12] Red Rackham's Treasure contained one of Hergé's two favourite illustrations from The Adventures of Tintin.[13]
Le Trésor De Rackham Le Rouge began serialisation as a daily strip in Le Soir from 19 February 1943.[14] In Belgium, it was then published in a 62 page book format by Editions Casterman in 1944.[14]
In order to fit into the 62-pages required by the book publishers, certain scenes of the original strip were edited out and some panels were cropped or made bigger. The speech bubbles and the fonts were made smaller and there were some changes in the text which, in some cases, toned down the aggression of the characters: in the original strip, when confronting the so-called descendants of Red Rackham, Haddock announces that he fancies killing them all in combat and, once they have fled, Tintin expresses satisfaction. In the book Haddock's words are changed to his claiming to feel the boiling blood of his ancestor, Sir Francis, and Tintin makes no comment on his methods.[3]
The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure were the first two Adventures of Tintin to be published in English-language translations for the British market. Published by Casterman, these two editions did not sell well, and have since become rare collector's items.[15] They would be republished for the British market seven years later, this time by Methuen with translations provided by Michael Turner and Leslie Lonsdale-Cooper.[7]
Tintinologist Harry Thompson referred to The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure as "the most successful of all Tintin's adventures".[16] Farr claimed that Red Rackham's Treasure would prove to be the best-selling of all Adventures of Tintin.[2]
Critical analysis[edit]
Tintinologist Harry Thompson asserted that the Secrets of the Unicorn-Red Rackham's Treasure arc marked the beginning of the third and central stage of "Tintin's career". He furthermore stated that in these two stories, Tintin has been converted from a reporter into an explorer to cope with the new political climate.[1] He asserted that in this story, Hergé "abandons the complex plotting of The Secret of the Unicorn, in favour of an episodic style of adventure not seen since the early books".[17] He further draws attention to the arrival of Calculus in the story, describing him as the "third and final member" of Tintin's "family".[17] Thompson was also critical of the use of colour in the story, stating that much of it looks better in black-and-white, as it was originally printed in Le Soir.[18]
Hergé biographer Benoît Peeters asserted that both The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham's Treasure "hold a crucial position" in The Adventures of Tintin as it establishes the "Tintin universe" with its core set of characters.[19] He felt that while religious elements had been present in previous stories, they were even stronger in The Secret of the Unicorn and its sequel, something which he attributed to Van Melkebeke's influence.[20] Peeters believed that Red Rackham's Treasure was "an unforgettable book" because it is the volume in which the "family"—meaning Tintin, Snowy, Haddock, and Calculus—all come together.[21]
Jean-Marc Lofficier and Randy Lofficier asserted that The Secret of the Unicorn-Red Rackham's Treasure arc represents "a turning point" for the series as it shifts the reader's attention from Tintin to Haddock, who has become "by far, the most interesting character".[22] They claim that the introduction of Calculus "completes the indispensible triangle that imbues Tintin with its mythic quality."[22] Asserting that here, Hergé's "art has reached a degree of near-perfection", they awarded it five stars out of five.[23]
Tintinologist Michael Farr asserted that the scene in which Calculus was introduced was "a comic tour de force" marking the start of the "rich vein of humour" that the character brought to the series.[7] Noting that unlike The Shooting Star, this two-book story arc contains "scarcely an allusion to occupation and war", he praised the arc's narrative as "perfectly paced, without that feeling of haste" present in some of Hergé's earlier work.[9]
In his analysis of the Adventures of Tintin, the academic Jean-Marie Apostolidès characterised the Secret of the Unicorn-Red Rackham's Treasure arc as being about the characters going on a "treasure hunt that turns out to be at the same time a search for their roots."[24]
In 1957, the animation company Belvision produced a string of colour adaptations based upon Hergé's original comics, adapting eight of the Adventures into a series of daily five-minute episodes. Red Rackham's Treasure was the eighth such story to be adapted, being directed by Ray Goossens and written by Michel Greg, himself a well known comic book writer and illustrator who in later years would become editor-in-chief of the Journal De Tintin.[25]
In 1991, a second animated series based upon The Adventures of Tintin was produced, this time as a collaboration between the French studio Ellipse and the Canadian animation company Nelvana. Adapting 21 of the stories into a series of episodes, each 42 minutes long, Red Rackham's Treasure was the tenth story to be produced into the series, although this ran half as long as most of the others. Directed by Stéphane Bernasconi, the series has been praised for being "generally faithful", with compositions having been actually directly taken from the panels in the original comic book.[26]
The 2011 motion capture feature film The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn incorporates the conclusion of the book, but when Haddock and Tintin manage to find a portion of the treasure in the globe of St. John of Patmos, in Marlinspike Hall, they also find a map to find the rest of the treasure where the Unicorn sank.
The shark-shaped submarine on the book's cover was the inspiration for "Troy," the real-life shark-shaped submersible constructed by aquatic film-maker and oceanographic explorer Fabien Cousteau, the grandson of Jacques Cousteau.[3]
In the movie Kramer vs. Kramer, Dustin Hoffman's character reads this book to his son.

Stargirlby Jerry Spinelli
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Stargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of "Stargirl, Stargirl." She captures Leo Borlock's heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first.
Then they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love. Review:"A magical and heartbreaking tale." Kirkus Reviews (Starred)
Review:"There are both light moments and poetic, emotionally mature observations in Stargirl. With the book's high school setting and situations, this entertaining and thought-provoking story will appeal to and be enjoyed by junior high and high school readers." VOYA
Synopsis: In the tradition of Out of My Mind, Wonder, and Mockingbird, this is an intensely moving middle grade novel about being an outsider, coping with loss, and discovering the true meaning of family. Willow Chance is a twelve-year-old genius, obsessed with nature and diagnosing medical conditions, who finds it comforting to count by 7s. It has never been easy for her to connect with anyone other than her adoptive parents, but that hasnt kept her from leading a quietly happy life . . . until now. Suddenly Willows world is tragically changed when her parents both die in a car crash, leaving her alone in a baffling world. The triumph of this book is that it is not a tragedy. This extraordinarily odd, but extraordinarily endearing, girl manages to push through her grief. Her journey to find a fascinatingly diverse and fully believable surrogate family is a joy and a revelation to read. Holly Goldberg Sloan writes about belonging in a way Ive never quite seen in any other book. This is a gorgeous, funny, and heartwarming novel that Ill never forget."—John Corey Whaley, author of Where Things Come Back "Willow Chance subtly drew me into her head and her life, so much so that I was holding my breath for her by the end. Holly Goldberg Sloan has created distinct characters who will stay with you long after you finish the book."—Sharon Creech, Newbery Award-winning author of Walk Two Moons "In achingly beautiful prose, Holly Goldberg Sloan has written a delightful tale of transformation thats a celebration of life in all its wondrous, hilarious and confounding glory. Counting by 7s is a triumph."—Maria Semple, author of Whered You Go, Bernadette About the AuthorHolly Goldberg Sloan, the acclaimed author of Ill Be There, has worked as an advertising copywriter and a writer and director of feature films.

What's on Charlize Theron's Vanity Table?
On September 18, Guillermo Arriaga's film The Burning Plain makes its big-screen premiere. On the eve of its debut, VF.com caught up with Arriaga's leading lady, Charlize Theron, and asked her: "What's on your vanity?"
The Academy Award winner shared some beauty advice with VF.com readers.
On how she glows: "I love to steam shower, it's good for the skin."
What keeps her complexion flawless: "I always have sunblock, as I try to block the sun as much as possible, and I always have powder handy."
Her secret arsenal: "I love my makeup artist Shane Paish, who can transform looks!"
Why she loves makeup, and why you should, too: "It's so fun to see how different makeup can make you feel ... the different vibe you get from a little eyeliner, or having red lips vs. the innocent nude shade."
Last words? "Experiment, girls!"

Forbes Hare
With the addition of two partners and six lawyers, British Virgin Islands (BVI) firm Forbes Hare is climbing the headcount rankings steadily. Its London office has now been in operation for a full year, and in a particularly innovative move the firm launched a BVI contentious advisory practice in the City last year. The firm hired former barrister Alistair Abbott from legacy SNR Denton for the venture. This saw Abbott admitted to the BVI bar.
The London office now has two partners and another three lawyers, making it almost as big as Forbes Hare's Cayman practice. All private client work is now managed purely from Cayman.
Like many other firms, Forbes Hare has invested in technology. It implemented a new CRM system last year and is now implementing new trust administration software.
