Running through October 5 at Baku's YARAT Contemporary Art Space, A Drop of Sky offers artistic perspectives on the city's history as a center of trade and its recent gentrification.

Damián Ortega in Milan
Through November 8, contemporary art space HangarBicocca presents a solo exhibition by Under the Same Sun artist Damián Ortega, featuring 19 works that "create a dialogue between matter and form, action and thought."
The Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative fosters cross-cultural interaction between artists, curators, and audiences via educational programs, online activities, and collection building. It focuses on three regions—South and Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East and North Africa.
Initially presented at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (Feb 22–May 22, 2013), MAP's inaugural exhibition No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia traveled to two international venues: the Asia Society Hong Kong Center (Oct 30, 2013–Feb 16, 2014) and the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (May 10–July 20, 2014). Curated by June Yap, the exhibition and its accompanying programs explored universal themes of national identity, power, and faith.
Organized by Pablo León de la Barra, Under the Same Sun: Art from Latin America Today examines Latin America's past, present and future through creative responses to the region's complex political, economic, and social issues. The second of three MAP exhibitions, Under the Same Sun debuted at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (June 13–Oct 1, 2014) and will travel to the Museo Jumex in Mexico City in fall 2015.

Click here to know more Steps to Real Estate Investing Success By Lou Brown Real estate investing during a faltering economy can be a difficult task, as the value of real estate is decreasing and less and less consumers are financially able to pay competitive prices. So when investing in real estate, you will need to understand the current market if you want to achieve the highest real estate investing success. Real Estate Investment is an increasingly popular investment practice which, in theory, involves a simple process purchasing real estate to then rent back out to customers. However, especially in an uncertain economy like we are currently facing, achieving real estate investment success can prove to more complicated than just buying and leasing properties. Potential investors should be wary of the fact that their success is largely dependent on their ability to invest wisely in real estate. Real estate investment consists of investing money into real estate with hopes of amassing profits. Generally speaking, real estate investments involve buying real estate, renting to consumers, and eventually selling when prices are high to capitalize on appreciated market value. Real estate can refer to any stationary property situated on land that is bought and sold, ranging from apartments to small fixtures such as sheds or garages. The process by which you can attain real estate investing success can be broken down into several basic yet important steps to your success: 1. Choose your niche market. As a real estate investor, you will probably want to settle on a market in which you are most apt to be successful. Whether buying, selling, or renting, business is more likely to be profitable if you are working in the place that best fits your persona needs. 2. Decide on a Plan. You will need to determine what it is that you hope to achieve through you real estate investment. Some investors will choose to rent their real estate for long periods of time while others might make renovations and then sell when the market is high. Regardless of what plan you choose, there is always room to profit. However, choosing your plan beforehand can better prepare you to make business decisions about your real estate investment when profitable opportunities are at hand. 3. Look into Professional Advice. Professional real estate investment courses can assist you in achieving real estate investing success. By learning the specialized techniques of professional traders, you will be able to combine the knowledge of others into making your own personal strategies. 4. Execute. Once you decide on a plan and have prepared yourself for real estate investing success, 31 Days To Real Estate Investing Riches How to Start a Successful Real Estate Investing Business. Page 1 Presented by Daniel Toriola execute on your investments according to your decisions and the information you have learned. Real Estate investment courses are not only a source of professional strategies, they also provide beneficial information about the ins and outs of real estate investments. If you plan on obtaining real estate investment success, you should consider the many advantages that can be gained from real estate investing courses. Real Estate Investment training courses can effectively prepare you for the success that you have been hoping for. Real Estate investors in all fifty states across Canada and fifteen foreign countries including as far away as Australia and New Zealand. have long regarded the training, systems and forms created by Louis Brown as the best in the industry and can be found at http://www.streetsmartinvestor.com.

Page 2 Presented by Daniel Toriola Real Estate Investing Seminar Tips – Part 1 By Brad Wozny Many people are trying their luck at real estate investing, and although many are wildly successful many more are not. The truth is there is very little luck involved in real estate investing; the best way to be successful is to arm yourself with knowledge about the type of investing you want to do as well as knowledge about the market in which you are planning to invest. There are countless ways to get the information you need to be successful in your real estate investing endeavors including books, websites, and real estate investing seminars. All of these methods will give you information, but the best way is to learn about real estate investing from someone who has already found success and can teach you the methods they used to profit in the business through a real estate investing seminar. A real estate investing seminar held by a successful and experienced real estate investor will give you the best chances of success. Learning form a professional is often a more effective way to educate yourself than independent study because you are benefiting from the experience, tips, and advice in a one on one fashion of a professional. One of the best ways to be successful in any field is to model yourself and your business practices off of someone who is already successful in your field of interest. Taking a real estate investing seminar will allow you to learn successful business practices that have already been tried and tested for success. There are many real estate investing seminars out there, and not all are of the same quality. Make sure the real estate investing seminar you choose is run by someone who is already successful and has the track record to prove it. There are lots of companies that run real estate investing seminars in hopes of generating an income off of the seminar but they do not have the experience or expertise to pass on to you to make you successful. If you are looking for a real estate investing seminar it is best to ask around for recommendations from anyone you know who has an interest in real estate investing to see if they can recommend a real estate investing seminar that they benefited from. If you don't personally know anyone in the real estate investing business some quick research online will give you thousands of real estate investing seminar choices. You should then search based on the individual real estate investing seminar or the presenter's name to find out what past participants have to say about the program and the success it brought to them. Never sign up for a real estate investing seminar that is mainly about selling you additional resources or subscribing to services. The real estate investing seminars that will help you the most are ones that offer real insight, information, tips, and advice about real estate investing without trying to sell your additional things. Making a profit from real estate investing is not easy but with the right knowledge from a quality real estate investing seminar the potential for great profit is there.

Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium defeated two-time champion Ana Ivanovic 6-4, 6-0 Friday in the quarterfinals of the Generali Ladies. Top-ranked Victoria Azarenka, fifth-seeded Julia Goerges and Irina-Camelia Begu also advanced to the semifinals. Flipkens, who is ranked 66th and had to qualify for the main draw, trailed 3-1 before winning 11 of the next 12 games. ''It's incredible that I've beaten her,'' Flipkens said. ''I tried to play my own game and switched a lot between attacking and defensive shots. Then Ana started to make more mistakes. I think that was because of the way I was playing.'' Ivanovic won the tournament in 2008 and 2010. Flipkens, who won her first title in Quebec City last month, will play Goerges for a place in Sunday's final. Azarenka reached her 10th semifinal of the season by defeating Petra Martic of Croatia 6-2, 6-2. Azarenka won the first 10 points to help build a 4-0 lead before Martic clawed her way back. The Croat had a break in the second set to make ...

Very caring and concerned for students.
Off-Campus Housing:
Most is at least 10 minutes away from campus.
Health & Safety:
More awareness about assault concerns is needed.
Off-Campus Dining:
Very little is open late in the area. But there are some great options.
A lot of international students.
There are really no formal athletics, since this is a graduate school.
Overall Experience:
It has been a great experience.
Campus Food:
Dining services does a good job with their very limited budget.
Party Scene:
Definitely not much of a party school.
Campus Housing:
I love the community in the on campus housing and the campus is small so the housing is close to most classes. The only downside is the requirement to be on the meal plan if living in the dorms.
It is a blast to be studying here. I love the classes and the other students are warm and friendly. I like the small school feel after attending a large university for undergraduate studies.
While the workload is sometimes high, all the professors are willing to discuss and assist if students are having trouble completing assignments. Registration is easy. The professors are all top notch in their fields and areas of expertise.
Having a computer is necessary to complete school work, but there are plenty of computer in the library to complete assignments and search for resources.
Party Scene:
Being a seminary, not very many people are into nightlife, but there are some fun local spots to get a beer on a Saturday night.
Again, we are a graduate school, so there are no organized sports, but students love to play in the fields nearby for fun.
The school is very generous in their financial aid opportunities.
Greek Life:
We are a graduate school, so there is no Greek life on campus, save the study of the Greek language.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off campus housing is expensive in the surrounding areas because of location. The availability varies, but students are responsible to find their own housing if on campus housing is full.
Drug Safety:
There is no peer pressure at all for drug or alcohol use. Some people drink, but don't get drunk and I don't know anyone who does drugs.
Considering the it is a seminary, the rules may seem strict to some, but to me they seem appropriate for the setting.
Off-Campus Dining:
Since the school is in a small town, one must drive to get to off campus dining options. The food is good but is limited within a 5 mile radius. Closer to the city there are better options.
Health & Safety:
Our campus safety is wonderful. They are present around campus and even in the lunch room. I feel blessed to have them around.
Health & Safety:
When we can not go off campus to get immunizations the school provides a nurse
It is necessary to bring a computer or invest in one especially during final times when the computer labs fill up quickly
Campus Food:
Campuses that have students on the meal plan should just give them a prepaid card and they should be able to decide they can eat wherever they want to and then they have to put more money on the card themselves. In my experience I do not think students should have to be on the meal plan even if they have allergies to the food and the school can make accommodations but the food has not seasoning it is not fair. Many people do not want to be on the meal so they live off campus and this robs them from the sense of community that the school wants to build by forcing them to eat food that sometimes from my experience is not all that great and does not have a variety

text: Hi, I'm using an older copy of SQLObject but sqlobject/cache.py hasn't really changed in 2 years, so this applies to current and past versions. I operate a website that runs around 4million requests a day through an application using SQLObject. At about mid day I end up with large amount of weakref objects and slowing response times. Top 6 objects in memory: 2887448 <type 'weakref'> 209963 <type 'dict'> 68189 <type 'tuple'> 45584 <type 'weakproxy'> 45584 <class 'sqlobject.main.SQLObjectState'> 45584 <class 'sqlobject.declarative.sqlmeta'> These objects are from the CacheFactory.expiredCache dictionary that holds weak references to SQLObject instances by id. Some of these dictionaries reach ~1.5 million keys, each SQLObject.get() request has to look into this dictionary which results in an access slowdown and memory growth. When the object behind the weak reference is collected, a weakref with a dead object is left in the cache, In my case this is a memory leak. Any comments or improvements on this method are appreciated. There are lots of ways to solve this problem but I think this is the least disruptive. Weakref callbacks can't be used because the "release" callback happens in the cull method. I do 2 things in the cull method 1 - cull dead weak references out of the expiredCache. 2 - avoid placing dead weak references into the expiredCache def cull(self): """ Runs through the cache and expires objects. E.g., if ``cullFraction`` is 3, then every third object is moved to the 'expired' (aka weakref) cache. """ self.lock.acquire() try: #remove dead references from the expired cache keys = self.expiredCache.keys() for key in keys: if self.expiredCache[key]() is None: self.expiredCache.pop(key, None) keys = self.cache.keys() for i in xrange(self.cullOffset, len(keys), self.cullFraction): id = keys[i] # create a weakref, then remove from the cache obj = ref(self.cache[id]) del self.cache[id] #the object may have been gc'd when removed from the cache #above, no need to place in expiredCache if obj() is not None: self.expiredCache[id] = obj # This offset tries to balance out which objects we # expire, so no object will just hang out in the cache # forever. self.cullOffset = (self.cullOffset + 1) % self.cullFraction finally: self.lock.release() Thanks, Jason

In the latest CNN/ORC poll, conducted June 11-13, among all age groups, Barack Obama's job approval rating is down to 45 percent, with 54 percent disapproval.
That's big news, but what's really shocking is that Mr. Obama is losing his mojo with America's "I have a crush on Obama" crowd. Currently, Barry is getting only 48 percent approval from those ages 18 to 34, which is only 3 percent above his national average.
The last time the youth supported a candidate as ardently as Obama was supported in 2008, was when George McGovern was the Democratic candidate for president, which proves that in both 1972 and 2008, certain people were hitting the reefer really hard before hitting the polls.
The dilemma for Obama is that the lack of money to buy pot has caused the stoners to realize that the economy, joblessness, and out-of-control student loan debt for worthless degrees is a buzz kill delivered by a guy who claims he ran with the Choom Gang.
Therefore, the balloon hat-wearing, kazoo-blowing acolytes who've been clamoring for free contraceptives are also beginning to realize that having lots of government-facilitated sex is not enough incentive to refrain from using that treasured "Hope and Change" t-shirt as a shammy to dry off the car sitting in Mom's driveway for which there's no money to gas up.
It's FINALLY HERE!
Kevin Jackson's hilarious take on Race-Pimping: The Multi-Trillion Dollar Business of Liberalism!
Enjoy this excerpt from the book:
"In actuality, black people will go to substandard hospitals, wait in long lines behind illegal immigrants, and be treated like non-citizens, as there simply won't be enough healthcare to go around. There will be the occasional lucky few who will receive treatment, and we will parade them around like championship rings, thus continuing the ruse. As you can see, we've left out nothing. We touch more on this in Chapter 10: Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing. If for some reason we happen to run out of blacks, we will be able to apply our trade to the Mexicans with little disruptions. Plans are already underway for our next edition in this "How To" series: How to be a Latino "Race Pimp for Fun and Profit…even if you're Illegal."

Not again.Posted Dec 5, 2011
If you don't care about condition of the hotel or cleanliness this is a fine bargain hotel. It was not a good fit for our family of 4. The linens and towels were grayish and scratchy. There was a stinkbug infestation inside the room.

Don't Even Think About ItPosted Dec 4, 2011
This hotel actually had 3 names: Royal Extended Stay, Budget Inn and Days Inn (all at the same address). I checked in at the Royal office which is in the back side of the Days Inn. But the room they gave me was a Days Inn room. The hotel is undergoing renovation so take these comments with a grain of salt. Initially upon entering the room the fire alarm was chirping indicating it needed a new battery. Told the Royal office and they took care of it immediately. Don't know for sure but someone used the toilet and didn't flush it (maintenance man_? The sink bowl was cracked and the light fixture above the sink was cracked. The curtains had a hugh stain (like somebody shook up a bottle of soda and sprayed the middle of the curain). The same stain was also on the wall next to the bedstand. The fan in the A/C unit made a loud noise so I changed the speed to high and back to low and it stopped. I noticed on the bathroom floor a bug, then another, then another. I left the hotel and went to another one. Yes, the hotel was inexpensive and yes the hotel service was great but it just wasn't worth staying there until they finish their renovations (and spraying for bugs).

Good basic value hotelPosted Oct 7, 2011
This an older motel. It was very full of traveling roofing & siding workers, but was quiet. The rooms are not fancy, but clean. The complimentary breakfast was a bit thin. My wife & I felt that this hotel was a good value.

Taxicabs by country
Taxicabs in a single country often share a set of common properties, but there is a wide variation from country to country in the vehicles used, the circumstances under which they may be hired and the regulatory regime to which these are subject.

In Albania, taxicabs are easy to be found. In Tirana, the capital city, they are all painted in yellow with various signs on the roof. The official taxies have yellow plates with red text. The Albanian word is "taksi", but most of the signs are in English. The most preferred cars are Mercedes-Benz E-Class but lately, the law forces taxi drivers to buy cars that are younger than 10 years old. 90% of the Taxicabs are private, there are only two companies operating and they only operate in Tirana.
The biggest one, MerrTaxi, operates with Mitsubishi Lancer(third generation) and Škoda Rapid, while "SpeedTaxi" operates only with Škoda Superb. Beside the two companies, very few drivers use their Taximeter.
In Argentina taxicabs are called 'taxis'. In the capital Buenos Aires (and Rosario and others) the colours of the taxis are black, with yellow roofs, as a reference to the many Peugeot 504 which served as taxis in the 1980s, which used the same paint layout. The licensing is a central government function. Today, most models are Chevrolet Corsa and Fiat Siena, with retrofitted or factory-built NGV power plants which means much lower fuel costs than gasoline.
Australia adopted the use of Horse drawn taxis once cities were established (as had been used in Europe in the early 19th century). Motor vehicle taxis were introduced into Australia not long after they were put into service in Great Britain and Europe. In 1906, Sydney inaugurated motorised taxicabs. In approximately 1907 so did Queensland and other states followed soon after.
The progress through the years included many types of tourers from the 1910 era until the late 1920s, with British and American cars predominating.
Sedans were added during the late 1920s and included similar makes of vehicles. This was the case with all cars being imported into Australia until World War II began. The American cars proved more suitable to Australian motoring conditions especially for taxi work. General Motors Corporation built thousands in Australia, as did the other American companies including Ford Motor Company and Chrysler.
The majority of Taxicabs in use on Australian roads are now the Ford Falcon or Holden Commodore with most using LPG fuel.
Taxis can also be Maxi taxis, seating more than 4 passengers, or a wheelchair passenger.
The release of hybrid cars has been slow, but is beginning to replace some of the LPG dominance.
In China, taxicabs are very common throughout the country. Most of cities choose the Volkswagen Jetta (2nd generation) as the taxicab. In metropolises, such as Shanghai, the Volkswagen Santana series are used extensively for taxicab services. The Hyundai Elantra and Hyundai Sonata are easy to find in Beijing.
Even in very small villages, there will be cars for hire. In smaller towns and villages, taxicabs are generally unregulated and may consist of a bike with a carriage, or more commonly, motorcycles with extensions that allow three people to sit in the rear. Even in large cities, taxicabs are generally very lax forms of transportation. Taxicabs in Shanghai may not refuse to go to any destination within the city. Relative to the west, taxicabs are very cheap, and in smaller areas the fare may be 1 yuan per person.
In Colombia taxicabs are yellow in most of the cities. The most common taxicab around is the Hyundai Atos, praised for its fuel economy. Other similar, popular taxicab vehicles include the Chevrolet Matiz and the Kia Picanto
Taxicabs are common in Egypt, particularly in the larger cities. The taxi system is highly decentralized, with the cab generally belonging to the driver and operated as a private business by him. Consequently, there is some variation in the types of cars used as taxis, although the Tofaş Şahin (including the licensed version produced by Nasr) and Lada Riva predominate. Drivers must obtain a taxi license from the government, generally through the offices of the Governorate in which they are based; however, taxis are permitted to operate between cities. Drivers must also paint their cars according to a livery unique to each governorate, including painting the license plate number of the cab on its doors in both Arabic and English. The traditional liveries of Cairo (navy blue and white) and Alexandria (yellow and black) are well-known to all Egyptians and indeed across the Arab world from their appearance in Egyptian film and television.
Meters are technically required by Egyptian law, but they generally go unused and in many cases do not even work. The prime exception is in Cairo, where a new class of taxi with a different livery (white with a black checkered band around the middle) have electronic meters installed and used. In most other cases, the price of a journey is generally determined through negotiation or bargaining between the passenger and driver, either just after the cab is hailed or just after the destination is reached.
Many if not most Egyptian taxi drivers have some education and frequently work in white collar professions that nevertheless come with low pay (generally low-level government work, including education); taxis are a common source of supplemental income for many Egyptian families. Consequently, taxi drivers are a common source of vox pops for foreign media sources.
After World War II, Russian cars, especially Pobeda and Volga, dominated the taxi market in Finland for several years. In the late 1950s the import restriction on cars was lifted for taxi operators, which made it feasible to import western cars in larger numbers. By the end of 1960s Mercedes-Benz in particular had gained a dominant position, accounting for up to half the taxi stock, and the Finnish distributor of Mercedes, VEHO, even has a separate taxi sales department. Mercedes has remained the archetypal taxi ever since, although other makes such as Volvo (especially estate models) and the VAG brands are also common.
Taxis in Finland do not have to be liveried in any particular colour or pattern. They are recognisable from the yellow 'TAKSI' sign on the roof, which is illuminated when the taxi is available for hire. Taxis mainly gather at special taxi ranks, rather than being 'hailed'. Customers either walk to the taxi rank and take the first available taxi from the front of the queue, or wait at the rank for a taxi to appear. One can also order a taxi by telephone etc. to a specific address.
The first horse-drawn forerunners of taxis appeared on Parisian streets in 1637. France was one of the first countries to use modern taxis—that is, gasoline-powered vehicles with fare meters. New York's first taxis were imported from France in 1907, and taxis were famously used for troop transportation during the First Battle of the Marne. Today most taxis in France are Peugeot 406. Other brands include Škoda, Citroën and Renault. Mercedes are common in Paris.
Many French taxis include; Peugeot 407, Peugeot 508, Renault Espace, Citroën C5 and Citroën C6
In Germany, taxicabs are a light, pale yellow/beige (ivory-coloured, RAL number 1015) (since November 2005 in some jurisdictions the colour has not been compulsory anymore; before 1971 they were black), with a small illuminated cylinder-like "TAXI" sign on the roof of the car (on when available, off otherwise). Typically the taxicabs are Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class along with other, mainly German, brands. Taxicabs are either sedans, station wagons, or MPVs. Common station wagon taxicabs include Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Among the MPVs, Mercedes-Benz B-Class, and Mercedes-Benz Vianos are common. Most taxicabs are automatic transmission, and some have navigation systems on board. Rates are high[according to whom?]; the convenience and high quality of public transportation in most German cities all but eliminates the necessity for German civilians to use taxicabs. Although allowed, "Street Hail" is a relatively uncommon practice in Germany because cabs rarely circle the cities when vacant. Because there are relatively few customers, most cabs return to assigned waiting stations and are called on demand. Although this has proven to be more economic for cab drivers, it is considered very inconvenient for commuters because taxis include the ride from the waiting station to the pickup point in the fare.
Hong Kong[edit]
During the early colonial times, sedan chairs were the only form of public conveyances. Public chairs were licensed, and charged according to tariffs which would be prominently displayed.[1] Chair stands were found at all hotels, wharves, and major crossroads. Their numbers peaked in about 1920.[2]
The rickshaw, first imported from Japan in 1870, were a popular form of transport for many years, peaking at more than 7,000 in the early part of the 20th century.[2] The rickshaw and sedan chair vied for customers depending on their budget, haste, or terrain to be negotiated. The rickshaw was more rapid, but was not suited to climbing the steep terrain of Hong Kong Island.[2]
Rickshaws' popularity waned after World War II. There were about eight in 1998,[2] and only four left in 2002. The last Sedan chair was reportedly abandoned in 1965;[2] and the rickshaws have disappeared since the ferry's closure at the end of 2006.
The earliest modern taxi service was first officially recorded by the government in 1947 with 329 cars.[3]
In Hong Kong today, there are three types of taxis, painted in different colours, serving different parts of the territory. The most common one, which is painted in red. The red taxi serves throughout Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Green taxis serve the New Territories and blue taxis serve Lantau Island. Most taxis in Hong Kong are Toyota Comfort. Taxis pick up passengers from streets, or by radio-dispatch by phone. Fares are charged according to the distance measured by meters. Surcharges include tolls, luggages and pets.
In Budapest, the capital of Hungary from 2013 every taxis must be painted in yellow.
Some include; Skoda Octavia, Skoda Superb and Mercedes-Benz E-Class
In India, taxicabs have a yellow-black livery. Old taxicabs in India are Premier Padmini or Hindustan Ambassador cars, whereas private taxicabs include Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Tata & Mahindra (mainly in the metros). The newer taxis are white, one of the many reasons why the expensive taxis have been dubbed White Taxis by the locals in cities. Taxis and all other commercial vehicles have a yellow number plate so charging taxes and toll in highways is easier for the officials.
Depending on the city/state, taxis can either be hailed, booked through applications or can be hired from taxi-stands. In cities such as Bangalore, taxis need to be hired from taxi stands, whereas in cities like Kolkata and Mumbai, taxis can be hailed on the street. There are additional surcharges for luggage, late-night rides and toll taxes are to be paid by the passenger. Thanks to the booming economy but due to disparities in income many types of taxis have come up. For example in Delhi there are 5 types of taxi. Autorickshaws (most affordable), Normal Taxis, Radio Cabs, White Taxis and Tourist Taxis. In areas like Noida and Gurgaon auto rickshaws are banned thus giving the taxis a monopoly. Chandigarh also has a well established system of modern radio cabs.
By Government regulations all taxis are required to have a fare-meter installed. Taxis face stiff competition from auto rickshaws but in some cities, for example Mumbai, auto rickshaws are banned in the main city district, thus giving taxis a monopoly. This monopoly directly affects the kind of cars used in India as cabs as well as the kind of economical and transport conditions.
Taxicabs began to be popular in Jakarta from the early 1970s with cars such as the Datsun 220C, Holden Torana, and Toyota Corona. Smaller cars, for example the Toyota Corolla, and various types of Datsun, were also used from mid-1970s to late 1980s.
In the 1970s, taxicabs were in various colors, although at that time mostly yellow, and a major operator ran light blue taxicabs. The main vehicle replacement for most taxicab operators was in mid-1980s when they replaced their old fleet with Nissan Stanza 1.6 T11. With the exception of the popular light blue, all other operators had their Stanzas painted yellow.
Due to poor sales in the private car market, but good fuel economy and reliability, Holden Gemini diesel cars were used as taxicabs during the 1980s. The same happened to Nissan Sunnys and Ford Lasers from the late 1980s to late 1990s.
Since the color of most reliable taxicab company in Jakarta is medium blue metallic (previously light blue), few other operators copied their color, and even the shape of the roof sign. This could mislead someone when hail the taxicab on the street. Although most taxicabs are blue, there are also painted in any color depends on the operators.
The new taxicabs in Jakarta are mostly Toyota Limo, which is a lower spec of Toyota Vios. Before the introduction of Limo in 2004, the most popular taxi was Toyota Soluna, which based on the 1995 Toyota Tercel. Currently many Solunas are still in operation alongside the Limo. However, the use of subcompact cars in normal taxicabs will stop, and will be used for cheaper taxicabs. Other cars also used as taxicabs are Hyundai Excel, and Kia Rio. Only one operator ran the Nissan Sunny 1.6 Neo (N16) and later replaced by the newer Nissan cars; the Tiida Latio and the Almera. By 2014, the Nissan Almera (N17) is also commonly used for taxicabs.
There are also executive taxicabs; these are black Nissan Cedric Y31 and Toyota Crown Comfort, and recently a W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class, a W211 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a Toyota Alphard and a Hyundai Sonata.
With the launch of new Toyota Limo NCP93 in 2007, three generations of Toyota's small sedan are used for taxicab services in Indonesia. However, in the executive taxicab segment, only few Toyota Crown Comfort. In 2007, the executive fleet swa the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, followed by the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Toyota Alphard in 2009. An executive taxicab operator has added the Volkswagen Caravelle to its fleet, and soon the Hyundai Starex.
The taxicabs in Batam consist of mostly facelifted Toyota Corolla GLi E110 sedans. Other popular models include the Nissan Sunny and Mitsubishi Lancer. Licensed taxis have yellow license plates affixed, whereas illegal ones use white plates.
In the Republic of Ireland, the term taxi is reserved for vehicles that may pick up on streets and where the fare is determined by a meter. In 2006 there were over 16,000 taxis in the Republic, the majority in Dublin. Taxi vehicles do not have to be a particular colour but all carry a distinctive roofsign with the licence number prominently displayed, some with the Irish word TACSAÍ instead of the usual "TAXI", also a sticker or stickers that determine their boundaries by county, these stickers carry a letter or letters that reflect the number plate county code (e.g. D=Dublin, MH=Meath etc.) (for full list see vehicle registration plates of Ireland). And as of January 2013, a green and blue "TAXI" sticker is required on the front doors. In September 2006 a nationwide taxi fare system was introduced so that charges no longer depend on the county or city council area. Ford Mondeo and Toyota Avensis along with Škoda, Renault and Nissan, are the most common types of taxicab, but free cycle rickshaws sponsored by 7up are also used, and a new fleet of TACSAITHE GHLAISE (Green Taxis) is due to launch in the near future. These will be all electric and include the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi i. No vehicle is allocated as an Irish taxicab but they must have at least four doors.
The term hackney is used in Ireland to refer to a service which can only carry passengers from a pre-booked destination (or the hackney company's office) to another destination, similar to a minicab in Britain. Such vehicles are indicated by a small yellow plate above the registration plate with the word Hackney and the licence information. They normally operate for an agreed fare.
Both taxis and hackneys are licenced by the Commission for Taxi Regulation.[4]
There are two taxi systems in Israel, with one operating as a standard taxi service and the other (taxi - sherut) as a cross between a taxi and a private bus system. The latter tends to run longer journeys or particular routes and is effectively a shared taxi - hence set pick up and set down locations but also potentially picking up or dropping off anywhere en route. Although fares are officially meter-based, it is quite common to agree the fare in advance with the driver. They have a directory guide for prices and will show the estimated alternative to the meter price, either to be accepted, negotiated or rejected by the traveler if the meter is preferred. The wisdom of the choice may be based on time of day and traffic and whether you have bags etc. which could cost more on the meter as each piece adds a set amount. Either way the eventual fare is not usually significantly different so many Israelis choose the meter without a thought. Tipping is not required but rounding up is common.
In Italy, taxicabs are white (previously they were yellow, in the 1950s and 1960s they were green-black or red), with a small illuminated "TAXI" white (previously red) sign on black background on the roof of the car. There are 25,186 taxis in the country (1 out of 2,412 people).[5] Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Fiat models are common. MPV or minivan taxicabs are also prevalent such as the Fiat Multipla, Fiat Ulysse, Fiat Doblo and Ford Galaxy. There is at present time a harsh political struggle between people who advocate deregulation of taxi licences and those who are against it.[6] Taxi fares are generally very high[according to whom?].
In most part of Japan, there are many taxicabs of various colors. Japan has no limitation in taxi's design so every companies adopt their own design to taxicabs, but owner-driver taxicabs use prescribed design. In Osaka, most taxicabs are black because they are also used as limousine taxis.
Most Japanese taxis are one of three types of cars: a Toyota Comfort type (Toyota Crown Comfort, Toyota Comfort, Toyota Crown Sedan); Nissan Crew; and Nissan Cedric Y31. They all have automatic passenger doors, which open at when a button is pressed by the driver. However, elite taxis may have drivers that manually open the door for you.
Recently, some taxi companies have selected Toyota Crown S170 and/or S180 as taxis because cars made for use as taxis (such as Comfort, Crew and Cedric) have very plain interiors.
In Lithuania taxicabs are called 'Taksi', all of them have a small, yellow illuminated cylinder-like "Taksi" sign on the roof of the car and black-yellow square lines on the sides. At the capital city Vilnius, taxicabs are divided into two categories: expensive and cheap ones. Expensive ones (i.e. Vilnius veža) charges 3.99 LTL for getting in and 2.39-2.99 LTL per kilometer.[7] They use white, brand new Ford C-Max[8] or Volkswagen Touran,[9] allows passengers to pay for the trip using credit card, uses tablet computers instead of radio to communicate, drivers has special uniform. Cheap taxis in Lithuania mostly uses older vehicles of high classes such as Volkswagen Passat (B4) or Audi A6 (C4) instead of Chevrolet Spark or similar, charges 2 LTL for getting in and around 2 LTL per kilometer, they don't have specific color and can be recognized only by a yellow "Taksi" sign on the roof or black-yellow square lines on the sides.
In Malaysia, taxicabs are also referred to as 'Teksi'. There are several taxi operators running within Malaysia. Most taxicabs use their preferred car of choice, the Proton Saga Iswara saloon since the 1990s and a distinct fleet of cabs are the newer generation of Proton Saga since the 2010s.
In Mexico City, according to Mexican legislation introduced in 2001, public taxicabs (in contrast with private taxicabs, or 'taxis de sitio') must be 4-door, painted in red with a white roof, and almost all new taxis are Nissan Tsurus. Before 2001 most taxicabs were green Volkswagen Beetles with a white roof. They had the front passenger-seat [clarification needed] removed in order to ease entry for passengers. At the moment, the taxi population is in a transition period, with both types in use.[10]
Originally taxis were yellow with a white roof, until they were changed in the mid-'90s (allegedly because yellow was the official colour of the Partido de la Revolución Democrática, which at the time was competing for the newly created Mexican District gobernancy with the Partido Revolucionario Institucional, which is mostly identified with green colour; officially it was to identify green taxicabs as environmentally-friendly 'ecológicos', even though they were the same polluting Volkswagen Beetles[citation needed]). As in most of the world a special license must be obtained in order to run a taxicab. However, since some years ago there is a thriving population of unlicensed taxicabs roving the streets of Mexico City.
Taxicabs are usually distinguished by small company logo stickers on bonnet and doors and an illuminated "taxi" sign on the roof (the internationally recognised word taxi is almost always used, rather than the Norwegian word drosje; the term maxitaxi is used informally to refer to minibuses used as taxis). There is no particular colour for taxicabs though various shades of black and silver are the most popular choices of colour. Fares are always metered, although there may be fixed tariffs for certain journeys such as airport-to-city-centre.
In 2011, the most popular models of vehicles used as taxis were the Mercedes E-class, Toyota Prius, and Volvo V70, accounting for more than half of the taxi fleet.[11]
Taxicabs in Oman are usually with Orange panels and mostly models of Toyota or Nissan. The Number plate will be Red in colour & start with K, KA, KB ( for saloon ) and KK ( for vans) They do not have any meters installed. Fare is generally decided by bargaining with the driver, though most commuters have a good idea of what can be considered a reasonable price. The rider may choose to have the taxi "shared", or "engaged." In an engaged taxi, the driver will not take any more passenger (as opposed to a shared taxi). Usually drivers charge much more to have the taxi engaged, sometimes as much as 8-10 times the price of a shared taxi. In a shared taxi, the driver will usually get more people who need to go along the same way. Due to low costs of fuel and fairly high purchasing power parity in Oman, taxicabs are extremely cheap when compared to other parts of the world, even in the engaged mode.
A variation of the shared taxi also exists. These are usually 12-seater Toyota vans. These taxis ply along a fixed route, stopping mostly at bus stops to pick and drop passengers. Passengers usually hop onto the taxi that is headed towards their destination. To attract more passengers, taxis stick to highways and main roads. If one wishes to go towards a place not along the main road, it is generally more economical to use a shared van to commute between two bus stops, and then switch over to another taxi headed for the destination, as opposed to taking the regular taxi to commute between the 2 places.
Taxicabs in the Philippines are color white and yellow. In metropolitan Manila, some cab companies use bicolour configurations to help distinguish their cars from other companies. Many taxis here are 7th, 8th and a few 9th and 10th generation Toyota Corollas, though Mitsubishi Lancers, Nissan Sentras and 6th Generation Mazda Familias can also be found. Toyota Tamaraws also serve as Manila's famous "FX taxis", albeit in more of a shuttle form serving certain routes, much like jeepneys. The Toyota Avanza and Toyota Vios are also being seen in taxi use lately. Before them, Isuzu Gemini was used there. The popular Honda Civics cannot be used as taxis due to a stipulation in the buyer's contract preventing their use as such.[citation needed] In Baguio City, cabs are mainly Kia Prides and Toyota Revos. Taxis are mainly used also at Iloilo City, Bacolod City, Cebu City, Cagayan De Oro, Tacloban City and Davao City.
Nowadays, new generations of Toyota Vios, Toyota Innova, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Avanza are now being used as taxicabs around Manila.
Taxicabs in Romania are usually yellow, like in New York, but this is not a universal rule. For instance, in Braşov County, some cabs are white; in Arad County, most are white. Many Romanian taxis are Dacia Logan. Others include Dacia Lodgy, Opel Astra, Skoda Octavia.
Regulated official taxicabs, identifiable by their yellow livery (from the 1st of July[clarification needed] all taxis in Moscow must be painted in RAL 1006 (maize yellow), are relatively few in Moscow, but since any car can be used as a taxi.[12] There is a long tradition of so-called (in English) 'gypsy-cabs' that comprise most of the city's fleet.[13] These are private motorists, typically in Lada 1300s or similar vehicles, who will pick up passengers in the street. For some drivers gypsy-cab work is their main source of income, whereas many others will cruise around after finishing their day jobs. Some Muscovites who are not driving specifically for hire will nevertheless pick up paying passengers travelling in the direction of their own destination.
Gypsy-cabs can be hailed quickly in central Moscow by stepping up to the curb and raising a hand.[14] Driver and passenger will negotiate a price through the front window;[12] though occasionally the driver does not wish to go to the requested destination or the passenger and driver cannot agree a mutually acceptable price, in which case the car may leave and the passenger is able to try his luck with another one.
While there is obviously a risk of crime in getting into a stranger's car in any city, using gypsy-cabs in Moscow is seen as relatively safe though the British Embassy in the city officially discourages the practice.[15]
In contrast to taxicabs, pre-booked private-hire vehicles are readily available in Moscow on a conventional commercial basis.
Traditional cabs in the Western sense are becoming more and more common, but remain very expensive in comparison to the gypsy cabs.
In Russia there also exists a luxury taxi service where taxis are Maybachs and TechArt Magnums (tuned Porsche Cayennes).
Total fleet: 27,709[16] (May 2014)
All taxicabs are fitted with meters and air conditioning; about 90% of taxis have inbuilt radiophones; call booking is done through GPS or digital voice dispatch
In the mid-1960s, the first taxicab company had their vehicles painted black with a yellow roof top. The model was a Mercedes Benz 220S, followed by the Austin Cambridge A60 which lasted till the mid-1970s. By then, the most popular taxicabs in Singapore were painted pale light blue. From the early 1990s many new taxis had new liveries, and the biggest taxicab company ComfortDelGro repainted its taxis in dark blue colour with a new logo.
Early examples used the Volga Gaz 24, Isuzu Florian and Morris Marina which were replaced by the Nissan Cedric (Datsun 220C Diesel) and the Toyota Crown Diesel were the most common taxicab models in the 1970s and 1980s. The smaller Toyota Corona CT191 marked the late 1980s to mid-1990s era.
Currently cars are commonly used as taxicabs in Singapore such as the Hyundai Sonata taxicab. In the mid 90s, Mercedes-Benz E-Class cabs were introduced as a premium service catered to the airport & hotels. Mercedes-Benz V-Class dubbed 'Maxicabs' followed soon after to cater to those who has greater demands or for private event limousine bookings. With a law passed instating the use of the Euro IV-compliant diesels in October 2006, some taxicab companies switched to alternative models.
Singapore taxis had used various models recently. Notably LPG models, which are increasingly popular due to government campaign for extensive use of locally manufactured LPG, such as Toyota Corolla Fielder, Honda Airwave, Honda Stream Bi-Fuel though diesel examples, which still proved economical to run, like the Volkswagen Touran, Škoda Superb, Ssangyong Stavic, Kia Magentis, and the Hyundai Sonata & Japan-built Toyota Corolla are imported. The whole cab fleet in operation predominantly consisted of 4-door saloon models with the more practical estate versions (Corolla Fielder, Airwave, Wish, Stream) being the latest additions.
South Africa[edit]
South Africa has two kind of taxis, minibus taxis which are fifteen seated vehicles and meter cabs that seat between four and seven passengers. Minibus taxis and meter taxis are mostly Toyota manufactured. Minibus taxis uses the Toyota Ses'fikile (a modified Quantum/HiAce produced specifically to meet the regulatory requirements of the South African taxi market)[17] and meter taxis Toyota Avanza. Minibus operate on specific routes like buses. Meter taxis cabs operate from point to point.
South Korea[edit]
There is an extensive taxicab system, with about 70,000 in Seoul alone.[18] Altogether there are about 250,000 taxis in the whole of the country.[19]
In cities such as Seoul and Busan, taxicabs are very common. There are three types: an "ordinary" (ilban;일반) taxi; a "model" (mobum;모범) taxicab, which is painted black and is bigger and much more expensive; and a 'taxicab for the handicapped' (jang-e-in call taxi;장애인콜택시), which is a yellow painted van for the handicapped people who are living around Seoul. There are also two types of taxicab drivers' license: all taxicab drivers start driving their taxicab as employees in the taxicab companies, and these taxicabs that belong to a company are called 'corporate' (bubin;법인) taxicabs. After years of service in the taxicab company, drivers get a license which allows them to purchase their own vehicle and drive it as a self-employed driver, and the taxicabs they then drive are called 'individual' (gaein;개인) taxicabs.
For 'ordinary' taxicabs, there is an extra 20% increase in fare after midnight, but this does not apply to the 'model' taxis. Most 'ordinary' taxis are silver or white in colour. Virtually all Korean taxicabs are Korean car models, and meter fares start at 3,000 South Korean won. The fares are much cheaper than in major cities in Europe and North America, and no extra fares are charged for luggage. All taxicabs are labelled in Korean with a sign 'individual' (개인), 'model' (모범), or the name of the company if the taxicab belongs to a taxicab company, and have a half-sphere on top of a half-pyramid, or to a lesser degree a silhouette of a Korean gate attached on the roof and labelled "TAXI".
In the 1970s and 1980s most taxicabs in South Korea were three Hyundai models—the Hyundai Pony, Hyundai Presto and Hyundai Stellar. Daewoo Prince was a very popular taxi model in the 1990s. More recently, taxicabs consist of modern-day Korean-made sedans such as Hyundai Sonata, Kia Lotze, and Samsung SM5.
In Spanish cities and large towns, taxicabs always have a meter, but there are smaller towns where they don't carry one and the fare is agreed. The models that can be used must be homologated previously for this function by the local authorities, and they are always four-door sedans or minivans. By far the most popular car models for taxicab duties, all around Spain, are the SEAT Toledo and the Škoda Octavia; other models that can also be found frequently are the Peugeot 406, Citroën C5, Opel Vectra, SEAT Altea XL, Toyota Avensis, Volkswagen Jetta, some Mercedes-Benz E-Class, etc.
Regarding the livery, each town and city designates the colour of their taxis, but in the overwhelming majority, it is white, usually with some kind of colour detail and/or local symbol on the doors. For example, in Madrid (and also in Almería), taxicabs are white with a red diagonal stripe going through the front doors; in Seville, they are white with a diagonal yellow stripe down the rear doors; in Bilbao, white with a horizontal red stripe on the front doors, etc. A notable exception is Barcelona, where taxicabs are fully black, except the doors and the boot lid, which are painted yellow.
In Sweden, most taxis are painted black or dark blue. The cars used are mostly upmarket estates such as the Volvo V70 and the Mercedes-Benz E-class. License plates on Swedish registered Taxis are yellow and all end with a "T" in a slightly smaller size than the other characters on the license plate.
Taxicabs in Taiwan are yellow, the same color as New York taxis. The Road Traffic Security Rules (zh:道路交通安全規則) require drivers to be at least 20 years old and have occupational driver licenses. When drivers reach 60 years old, they may continue to drive taxis until 65 years old provided they pass annual physical examinations. Taxis in larger cities are widely metered with fares generally based on distances and now more commonly with surcharges for times in slow and stopped traffic. At Chinese New Year, the most important Taiwanese holiday, surcharges may also be payable.
Many different car models are used as taxis, including Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Nissan Sentra, Nissan Sylphy, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Grunder, Ford Focus, and Ford Mondeo.
Historically whenever major crimes have occurred, many people, especially women, have felt less confident riding taxis due to safety and security concerns, causing taxi drivers to carry even fewer passengers.[citation needed] After two major murders in late 1996, even Yao Kao-chiao (姚高橋), the Chief of the National Police Agency, Ministry of The Interior at that time, said that his daughter would not dare to ride taxis.[20] Many taxi drivers considered his speech impacting and discriminating against them.[21]
Taxis are widely available in Bangkok and come in many different colours (because of different groups or companies). Most are metered. Passengers must also pay any highway tolls. Tourists should insist on the meter when entering the cab, otherwise prices charged will be several times higher.
The taxicabs in Bangkok are mostly Toyota Limo (a lower spec of Toyota Corolla Altis) and Toyota Corolla & Corolla Altis (8th, 9th and 10th generation). There are also the other cars including Mitsubishi Lancer (6th & 7th generation), Toyota Innova, Nissan Tiida sedan, Nissan Sunny (N16&B14), Chevrolet Optra, Suzuki APV and Thairung Adventure Sport 2WD (Thairung's MPV version of Isuzu D-Max).
The previously used cars including Toyota Corolla (5th,6th,7th and 8th generation), Toyota Corona (6th,7th,8th and 9th generation), Ford Laser, Mazda 323, Nissan Bluebird, Nissan Sentra (B13), Nissan Sunny (B14&B11), Mitsubishi Lancer (3rd,5th and 6th generation), Daewoo Espero, Daewoo Nubira and Daewoo Fantasy.
The colour of Bangkok taxi are in various colour including single-colour, bi-colour and single-colour with strip. The single-colour are a company taxi, personal taxi in cooperation or alliance and rental company taxi. These colour including bright green, bright sky blue, red, orange, yellow, blue, pink, purple, violet and tan. The bi-colour are in 3 kinds including yellow+green, red+blue and yellow+orange. The yellow+green are the personal private taxi. The red+blue are the rental taxi. The yellow+orange are the company taxi.
There are also taxi in Phuket, Chiang Mai, Samui, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Chonburi using the similar cars as in Bangkok.
In Bangkok, there are also Airport-taxi known as AOT Limousine using various type of cars including Toyota Camry, Nissan Teana, Mercedes E-class (W211), BMW 730LI (E66), London Cab (TX II), Isuzu MU-7, Toyota Commuter (Hiace) and Nissan Urvan. These cars are in silver. The service is pre-paid at the airport from the airport into town. The passenger can also call for a service from downtown to the airport.
United Kingdom[edit]
There is a mature system of taxicabs throughout the United Kingdom. All taxicabs are regulated with various degrees of sophistication. However, London's black cabs, also known as hackney carriages, are particularly notable on account of the specially constructed vehicles and the extensive training course (The Knowledge) required for fully licensed drivers.
In Great Britain taxicabs can be defined thus -
- Hackney carriages ('Black cabs') can be hailed in the street or hired from a taxicab rank. The term 'Hackney Carriage' can also be applied to standard passenger vehicles authorised by other Local Authorities to stop for passengers on a hail in the district. The fare is calculated on a taximeter that charges by both time and distance.
Additionally there are two further types of hire vehicles which act, sometimes illegally, as taxis; they are known as private hire vehicles -
- Private hire is a term applied to a taxi that must be pre-booked, usually by telephone but also in some cases by fax, email or via in-car radio. Although not available on a hail, properly licensed private hire vehicles can offer a safe alternative to a 'Hackney Carriage'. The advantage of a private hire booking is that the journey is offered at a fixed price based only on mileage and not the variable time element of a taximeter found in a 'Hackney Carriage' unless the private hire vehicle is fitted with a taximeter in which case this meter must be used to calculate the fare. In many areas private hire and hackney vehicles have different coloured taxi licence plates; and also it is common that hackney carriages must be a certain colour (usually black, hence the term "black cab"), while private hire taxis may be any colour but that prescribed for hackneys.
- Chauffeur cars are a sub-set of private hire and historically have been mostly unlicensed. However, regulations now require them to be licensed. In Scotland most chauffeur/executive car operators along with nearly all stretched limousines are not still not licensed & neither are their drivers. Generally a higher value of car such as a Mercedes or BMW is operated where the passenger pays a premium but in return receives a higher level of comfort and courtesy from the driver who may at times wear a uniform.
In Great Britain local authorities have the responsibility of regulating taxi & private hire vehicles together with their drivers. Licensed vehicles will normally have an ID plate at the rear & sometimes also at the front holding information such as the licence number, expiry date & how many passengers it can carry.
Luton is reported to have the highest number of taxicabs per head of population in the United Kingdom.[22]
The United Kingdoms private taxi-firms tend to use:
Larger cars; Skoda Octavia, Vauxhall Vectra and Ford Mondeo
7 seaters; Volkswagen Touran, Ford Galaxy and Vauxhall Zafira
More than 7 seats; Mercedes-Benz Viano, Ford Transit and Renault Trafic
Some others also include ; Jaguar X-Type, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Mercedes-Benz C-Class
United States and Canada[edit]
Throughout the United States (and Canada) there is a mature system of taxicabs. Most US and Canadian cities have a licensing scheme which restricts the number of taxicabs allowed. These are sometimes called medallions or CPNC (Certificate of Public Necessity and Convenience).
Often taxi businesses own their own cars, and the drivers are hired by the company as independent contractors. However, cabs can also be owned by separately-incorporated small businesses that subscribe to a dispatch service, in which case the company logo on the door is that of the dispatch association.
A suburban taxi company may operate under several different names serving several adjacent towns. They often provide different phone numbers for each fleet, but they usually all ring into a central dispatch office. They may have subsidiary taxi businesses holding medallions in each town. Taxi companies also may run multiple businesses, such as non-medallion car services, delivery services, and school buses, for additional revenue, as the infrastructure required for maintaining, operating and dispatching the fleet can be shared.
In Uruguay taxicabs are always called 'taxis' and not 'cabs'. In Uruguay's capital Montevideo the colours of the taxis are yellow, with black roofs. Licensing is a central government function.
In Venezuela taxis are mostly white with the exception of luxury ones usually found on airports and luxury hotels, which are black. In Venezuela there is not such thing as a taximeter, nor any other way to know the fare. Due to this, it is common to discuss with the driver the fare before getting inside the cab. They tend to mislead tourists when coming to the country (especially Caracas) because the city doesn't have a numerical system for the street, building nor houses, making almost impossible to navigate through the city with just a map.

Update: Napoli has agreed to a three-year deal with the Red Sox believed to be worth $39 million, MLB.com reports.
Recommendation: As the roster is currently constructed, Napoli is expected to serve as the Red Sox's primary first baseman, but he could end up in the mix to catch plenty of games working in tandem with David Ross if Jarrod Saltalamacchia is unloaded at some point this offseason. The deal is currently pending a physical, which Napoli is scheduled to undergo later this week.

You have to look at everything else he's doing and ask, 'Has he crossed over that threshold?'
For some, that threshold might be a piece of bread or an ice cream cone once in a while.
That's sort of a threshold question that think tanks want to address.
Old English þrescold, þærscwold, þerxold "doorsill, point of entering," first element related to Old English þrescan (see thresh), with its original sense of "tread, trample." Second element of unknown origin and much transformed in all the Germanic languages; in English it probably has been altered to conform to hold, but the oft-repeated story that the threshold was a barrier placed at the doorway to hold the chaff flooring in the room is mere folk etymology. Cognates include Old Norse þreskjoldr, Swedish tröskel, Old High German driscufli, German dialectal drischaufel.
threshold thresh·old (thrěsh'ōld', -hōld')
The place or point of beginning; the outset.
The lowest point at which a stimulus begins to produce a sensation.
The minimal stimulus that produces excitation of any structure, eliciting a motor response.
(1.) Heb. miphtan, probably a projecting beam at a higher point than the threshold proper (1 Sam. 5:4,5; Ezek. 9:3; 10:4,18; 46:2; 47:1); also rendered "door" and "door-post." (2.) 'Asuppim, pl. (Neh. 12:25), rendered correctly "storehouses" in the Revised Version. In 1 Chr. 26:15, 17 the Authorized Version retains the word as a proper name, while in the Revised Version it is translated "storehouses."

The Sis Boom Collection, its name adopted from her childhood nickname given to her by her twin brother, defies easy categorization. With unusual artistry and a love of texture and a blend of vivid colors, Jennifer uses tag sales, flea markets and European sources as a starting point to create her art.
