Liu Yao (warlord)

|Liu Yao
|195 (aged 41)
|Traditional Chinese
|Simplified Chinese
|Liú Yáo
|Liu Yao
|Courtesy name
|Zhengli (traditional Chinese: 正禮; simplified Chinese: 正礼; pinyin: Zhènglǐ; Wade–Giles: Cheng-li)
Liu Yao (154–195), courtesy name Zhengli, was a warlord who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty. He controlled a portion of the lands in Jiangdong (southeastern China) before another warlord, Sun Ce, invaded and conquered his territories.
Liu Yao was an administrative official greatly respected by all, including his superiors and subordinates, as well as ordinary civilians. Liu Yao came from an aristocrat family, and he was the younger brother of Liu Dai, who was equally famous for his capability. Liu Yao's elder uncle Liu Chong (刘宠) was famed for his uncorrupted conducts, and his father Liu Yu (刘舆) was the governor of Shanyang (山阳). Liu Yao became instantly famous when he was just 19, after he rescued one of his uncle kidnapped by bandits. Liu Yao excelled in his study like his older brother Liu Dai, and became a maocai (茂才), the outstanding candidate recommended to the imperial court from the state. Each year, only a single maocai (茂才) could be recommended by a state, and the governor of the state where Liu Yao's family resided was complaining that Liu Dai was selected the previous year and if Liu Yao was selected this year, it would appear his family had monopolized the system, but people countered that the Liu brothers were recommended because they were indeed outstanding, and Liu Yao was selected.
Unfortunately, Liu Yao was not a good military commander despite being a good administrator. When Sun Ce attacked him, many his advisors correctly suggested to him that he should name Taishi Ci as the commander-in-chief of his force to defend themselves against Sun Ce, but Liu Yao refused, fearing that Taishi Ci was a fugitive who had just joined him, and his reputation would be tarnished for favoritism, since he was very good friend with Taishi Ci. The mistake proved to be fatal for Liu Yao and his defeat was generally the same as described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Yao soon died after fleeing to Dantu (丹徒). Afterwards, Taishi Ci surrendered to Sun Ce and was sent to ask for the surrender of Liu Yao's remaining force, Liu Yao's son agreed and more than ten thousands begun their service to Sun Ce, with Liu Yao's son eventually rose in ranks in later eras under Sun Quan.
Appointments and titles held[edit]
- Filial and Incorrupt (孝廉) - nominated candidate to be a Gentleman Cadet (郎)
- Gentleman (郎中)
- Chief of Xiayi (下邑長)
- Maocai (茂才)
- Assistant to the Excellency of Works (司空掾)
- Imperial Clerk (侍御史)
- Inspector of Yang Province (揚州刺史)
- Governor of Yang Province (揚州牧)
- General Who Inspires Martial Might (振武將軍)
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms[edit]
In Luo Guanzhong's historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Yao was depicted as an incompetent warlord and was only given a short description as follows:
Sun Ce (eldest son of the "Tiger of Jiangdong", Sun Jian) was rapidly expanding his forces and reclaiming lands he perceived as the rightful property of the Sun family. Alongside his father's already impressive army, Sun Ce invaded the lands of Eastern Wu, which were under the protection and rule of Liu Yao at the time. Forming an alliance with Wang Lang (governor of Kuaiji (present day Shaoxing) and Yan Baihu (bandit leader and so-called "Virtuous King of Eastern Wu"), Liu Yao's forces clashed with Sun Ce's invading army, leading to many deaths in both camps. Yan Baihu was quickly defeated and slain by Sun Ce's newly recruited officer, Dong Xi, while Wang Lang's forces were eventually destroyed, forcing him to surrender Guiji to the Sun family. Liu Yao was now faced with the task of defending the lands of Wu single handedly, while Sun Ce had gained a tremendous advantage through the capture of a local city which he could now use to rally and support his army. Liu Yao was eventually defeated by Sun Ce in battle.

That's exactly right Patriot. Under progressive vision the rich should work hard, take risks and surrender their earnings for others. What could possibly motivate them? Lower tax rates elsewhere, leaving the US a virtual wasteland of losers.
Please work to become rich and stop confiscating someone else's money.
Just a note here. Since 1980, on the federal level, the very rich and large corporations now pay 1/4th of what they did from the 50's - 70's. Starting with Reagan the very rich have received about 15 rounds of tax breaks. Republicans have shifted some of that lose to the bottom 90% and covered the rest with deficits and spending cuts to education, infrastructure etc. Somehow, even paying higher taxes, the wealthy were still wealthy back then.
How dare you tax my cat.......oh sorry.
Bad idea. High tax rates in the U.K. is why the Beatles had to move, we do not need to go though that again do we?
Great read! More dance everywhere please.
Funny that they are owned by Rock Bottom Restaurants. It seems they take that name to heart each and every day. There are plenty of great craft brews elsewhere, and I cannot think of any pizza joint in Tucson with worse tasting pizza (and there is a lot of BAD pizza in Tucson). And for goodness sakes... clean the carpets, fix the tears in the booth and seat fabrics, and have the staff at least pretend that they care about what they are doing.
Except that 'the rich' (LOL) already pay the lion's share of all taxes and the poor pay zilch. Save this socialist crap for people who are too self involved and uniformed. It doesn't wash for anyone who has ever worked their way out of poverty aka has grown up in the true sense of the word.
Go Jude!
Chain restaurant. Say. No. More.
We will have plenty of Ben Steins teaching the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act. Anyone? Anyone? You do realize that Charter and private religious schools, already can hire and many do, uncertified teachers. This means Jay Lawrence can go into a classroom, maybe 7th grade math, that would be a nice challenge.
Are you sorry yet, David Safier, that you decided to "hold your nose" and help Ducey et al. get Prop 123 passed?
Looks a lot like all the sophisticated politicos in your network who like to talk about "wedges" and levers and believe they know how to pull strings behind the scenes, patching together big scary "NEXT STEPS!" coalitions etc., ad nauseam, and trying generally to play hard ball with the big boys have ended up with quite a bit of egg on their faces.
Too bad you joined them and helped them embarrass themselves, or now you would be in a good position to make the point that the right way to build coalitions is basing them on sound principles, not on inadvisable concessions made to bad actors.
Not one mention of mental health issues in your abysmal journalistic attempt. Maybe you'll get 'em next time, Jim. Oh, and thanks for the embarrassingly pointless polling information.
You hit the nail on the head. A fun side note:When I was a small child, growing up in the rural south, Jeff Sessions once knocked on our families door and offered to buy all of the bedsheets in the house for double their original cost. I know, weird.
Must have been taught writing by one of those semi-qualified teachers.
Teacher need to know HOW to teach as well as knowing the subject matter.
McSally has an F- on immigration - same grade as Raul Grijalva. She votes for increasing immigration and against enforcing immigration laws at virtually every opportunity.
As long as it's not to pay for more and more illegal aliens and their children, I'm happy to pay more in taxes for useful things like smart infrastructure, mental health care, and education. Unfortunately that won't be the case.
The media has fanned the flames of hatred and bears responsibility for pushing people to say and do stupid stuff. Tone it down.
Check a recent article in the newsweekly "Economist" for an unbiased review of vouchers and tax credits used around the world for education. The basic thrust of the article is that vouchers & tax credits do work - where there is strong central control. Netherlands is a case in point - number 7 overall in the world (US is 39th), vouchers are used there in religious and sectarian schools but the central government plays a strong roll in ensuring a quality education.
Just awesome topic! I also can be helpful here :) I just filled out Tax & Accounting with an online software. It looked much better typed than hand-written. I used originformstudio.com/profit-and-loss-statement and it's very easy to use.
Also worked with Allen in Las Vegas. I'm pretty sure it was the same company. I was startled when he did reporting when I was working at a station there considering I had worked with him here in Tucson for years.

Gerry Ford, chief executive and founder of the coffee chain, said that his company was in discussions to acquire some of the stores, depending on whether their size and location fitted his chain.
Dixons chief executive John Clare blamed high rents for the move from the High Street. 'We are in the sort of space that is sought by fashion chains, Starbucks and fast food shops that have margins that are three times as much as ours,' he said.
However, Ford said that 'rents have never been better,' now that other rivals for the small retail outlets such as mobile phone firms have either slowed down their expansion or are moving to bigger sites.
And in a country where there are 60,000 pubs and only 2,000 coffee shops, Ford believes there is still a huge amount of potential in a market worth £2.1bn a year.
Research has shown that consumers will not walk more than two blocks for a coffee.
Caffe Nero is looking into selling alcohol at some of its branches.

The appeal is obvious.
The '06 Grand Vitara is handsome, appearing more expensive than it is, which is $20,000 to start, $25,000 luxed to the nines.
A V-6 engine is standard, as are abundant air bags, anti-lock brakes and stability control. The optional automatic transmission has five speeds, not just four. Rear seats recline as well as fold forward easily, and they provide enough space for adults to sit in comfort. Materials look and feel rich, belying the price tag. Leather, satellite radio, automatic four-wheel drive all are available. Downsizing doesn't have to mean downgrading.
Two four-wheel-drive systems are available, in fact. One is a set-and-forget full-time system and the other an engage-as-needed setup. Both have low-range gears for demanding slogging at walking speed — a feature not generally found on small SUVs, Jeep Liberty being a notable exception. The full-time system also has a neutral position that allows the vehicle to be safely towed with all four wheels on the ground, a feature beloved by motor-home drivers who want to tug along a runabout.
Grand Vitara's car-style unibody platform is welded atop a steel frame, giving it extra ruggedness at the cost of extra weight — about 200 pounds heavier than the unibody-only Ford Escape SUV (though 300-plus pounds lighter than Liberty).
The ride is somewhat stiff, just so for truck fans, a bit much for tushes expecting a true car-like ride.
Cornering is competent, even a bit sporty. Steering and brakes feel proper. All told, the dynamics are high-class, especially for a low-price vehicle.
Ground clearance is listed as 7.9 inches, not enough for regularly clambering over downed trees but sufficient for most excursions. A typical car has 4 or 5 inches of ground clearance. A full-size, off-road pickup has a foot or more.
Suzuki is a tiny presence in the U.S. new-vehicle market. Only Isuzu, Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati sell fewer vehicles.
But Suzuki is growing explosively as it remakes and updates its model lineup. Sales are up 36% the first two months this year in a market up 4%.
Suzuki is 10th of 36 brands sold in the USA in the latest predicted-reliability ranking by influential Consumer Reports magazine. That's high enough that it could allow shoppers to disregard quality concerns. Suzuki was No. 10 last year, too, according to CR's annual survey of owners.
Grand Vitara — nothing called just Vitara has been sold here for about eight years, Suzuki says — has two rows of seats. If you want three rows, that's the XL-7. But it's an old design to be replaced later this year. The replacement XL7 (the hyphen is being discontinued) will be more like the redone Grand Vitara. It is to be unveiled at the New York auto show next month, and is to go on sale Sept. 5 with a 3.6-liter V-6 rated 250 horsepower. It will be bigger than the current XL-7 and available with either front- or four-wheel drive.
Salients, based on a week in a high-end Grand Vitara, and another week in an XSport, a version on sale only since January:
•Drivetrain. In the luxury version, the V-6 engine sounded coarse, unpleasant, crude. Oddly, it did not in the XSport. Both were regular-production models.
Power is up from the previous model, but still not quite enough to comfortably handle fast-merge and quick-pass requirements when the vehicle is laden.
The five-speed automatic transmission, though a nice touch of sophistication in a low-price SUV, wasn't adept at picking the right gear to keep the engine perking along at its best. It was worse in the luxury version, and barely an annoyance in the XSport. Full-throttle downshifts involved a lag and lunge in both testers.
•Fuel-economy gauge. It only supplies instant mileage readout, no average or cumulative calculation. Seems silly. Who cares that you get 90-plus miles per gallon coasting downhill? Even if you consider it a tool to teach fuel-efficient driving, the gauge is far enough out of your peripheral vision that monitoring it is dangerous. Suzuki says it will change the gauge on '07 models so you can track average fuel economy, a more useful number.
•Details. Doors and tailgate on both test vehicles were unusually stiff and hard to open. But that also kept them from bouncing too easily into the side of the Ferrari parked next to you sporting an "insured by Smith & Wesson" bumper sticker and whose owner is walking this way right now.
Side panels in the rear cargo area of the luxury model were flimsy and loose but somehow managed not to make noise or otherwise remind you of their apparent cheapness. XSport had no loose panels.
Climate control in both testers had trouble finding a comfortable middle ground for 50-degree days when you wanted just a touch of extra warmth. Too hot; down one notch; oops, too chilly.
No flaw is a deal-breaker, especially considering the price. A more carefully tuned automatic transmission and a bit more power is all that stands between the '06 Grand Vitara and vigorous applause.
2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara
•What is it? Compact, four-door, five-passenger SUV, larger and more powerful than the model it replaces. Available with rear-wheel drive (RWD), part-time or full-time four-wheel drive (4x4). Manufactured in Japan.
•How soon? XSport on sale since January, others since fall.
•How much? Base model starts at $19,594 including $595 destination charge. Premium model starts at $20,494. XSport starts at $21,694. Luxury model with all options is $24,994.
•What's the drivetrain? 2.7-liter V-6 rated 185 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 184 pounds-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. Five-speed manual transmission is standard on base and Premium models. Five-speed automatic is standard on XSport and Luxury models, $960 option on base and Premium.
Part-time 4x4 system has high- and low-range gears and requires driver to shift into and out of 4x4 mode as needed. Full-time system — four-mode four-wheel drive is Suzuki's term — is similar but also has "set and forget" automatic mode that keeps vehicle in RWD until rear wheels slip, then sends power to the front wheels.
•What's the safety gear? Front- and side-impact air bags for front-seat occupants; front and rear head-curtain bags; stability control; anti-lock brakes.
•What's the rest? Automatic climate control; AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA stereo; power steering, brakes, windows, locks, mirrors; cruise control; tilt-adjustable steering column; rear-window wiper, defroster; automatic on/off headlights. Other features vary by model. More details: www.suzuki.com.
•How big? Similar to Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape. Grand Vitara is 176 inches long, 71.3 inches wide, 66.7 inches tall on a 103.9-inch wheelbase. Weight ranges from 3,452 to 3,682 pounds depending on model and equipment. Rated to tow 3,000 pounds.
Cargo space is listed as 24.4 cubic feet (23.8 in Luxury model) behind the rear seat, 68.9 cubic feet (67.3 cubic feet in Luxury) when rear seat's folded flat.
Rated to tow 3,000 pounds, carry up to 904 pounds of people, cargo and accessories.
•How thirsty? Manual transmission models are rated 18 miles per gallon in town, 23 highway. Automatics are rated 19/24 with FWD, 19/23 with 4x4. Regular-grade fuel (87 octane) is specified.
•Overall: Commendable.

Rosalie- Seeing The Future
Get off your butt you lazy bugger. Start doing something for once. I thought irritated, sitting on my bed. There was nothing to do here. No-one to talk to.
Well there was plenty of people to talk to, they just didn't want to talk to me.
I sighed and fell on the bed. "I might as well just go." I mumbled to myself. Suddenly images flickered through my head, pictures. I sat up.
I was seeing the future.
I looked through them carefully, a man. A tall man. He was coming to take someone away. Someone on the island. A girl. He was hurting her. He was hurting the girl.
Then it went. I jumped up in shock and gasped.
It was Trixie.

Estoy muy desconforme puesto que compre por un total de 275 coronas noruegas y debi cancelar 67 coronas de impuesto por el producto y 135 coronas por honorarios a una agencia de aduana por tramites de internacion. Mi molestia es que no se informa de esto en vuestro sitio. Enviare un formulario para reclamar devolucion de por lo menos 67 coronas de impuesto del producto que he pagado 2 veces en este caso.
Sin mas que decirle les saludo atentamente07-May-2015Muy mala informacion acerca de pagos a agencia aduanera por internacion

- new packaging looks great!
- I made two orders within minutes apart. would have saved costs to put the packages together, but I received one with pellets and one without instead
- products are fantastic as always

As the World Watches
Anti-LGBT violence is everywhere. Even the most liberal and progressive countries are not free of isolated incidents of violence against non-cisgender heterosexuals. The LGBT community is specifically targeted for their "nonconventional" and alternative lifestyles, or simply for being who they are and loving who they love.
The recent shootings at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando drew international attention for the rise of homophobic violence in America as the shooter specifically targeted the gay community who had come to the club for Latin night. In the wake of the tragic event, much-needed attention was given to the crisis of violence facing our country and world at the moment, and more specifically to the fact that the LGBT community is widely persecuted, even in 2016.
Within the LGBT community, however, violence can be even more specific. 2015 was a record-breaking year for documented violence against transgender people, with 22 reported trans murders in the United States alone.
But one country stands far above the rest when it comes to transphobic violence and murder, and, even as the crisis worsens, the nation is about to fall under the eyes of the whole world.
Ladies and gentlemen, bem-vindos to Brazil.

UPDATE 1-Gold shipment detained by Dominican Republic -Barrick
* Canadian gold company in customs hold up
* Dominican official cites documentation problem
* President has said country wants more benefits from gold project
March 14 (Reuters) - Barrick Gold Corp, the world's largest gold miner, said on Thursday that a shipment of gold from its Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic had been detained by customs officials in the Caribbean nation.
The delay comes just weeks after Dominican President Danilo Medina demanded that the company renegotiate its operating contract for the rich gold mine and threatened to clamp a windfall tax on profits if the contract was not modified.
Toronto-based Barrick said in a statement it was investigating the cause of the delay and seeking confirmation that the shipment can resume. It gave no further details.
Fernando Fernandez, director of customs in the Dominican Republic, said the shipment was halted because of a problem with documentation.
"When it is resolved, the shipment will go out," he told reporters.
Pueblo Viejo, one of world's largest new gold projects, is jointly owned by Barrick and Canada's second largest gold miner, Goldcorp Inc. Continued...

Chapter Thirty-One: Brimstone (1)Mature
Chapter Thirty-One:
The sun was rising over Iliathor, the capital of the Sysaran Empire, and thirteen-year-old Seoc MacInnes was awake. He had not slept the previous night. He had not slept the night before that, either. He had taken to sleeping during the day, unintentionally. At the breakfast table, for instance, ignorant of the slice of sausage sliding off the end of his fork, or in the bath, waking in a panic when his head slipped beneath the surface and he took a breath of water.
But right now he was awake, sitting in the window seat and watching people begin to go about their business on the street below. His head hurt, and his eyes and throat burned from exhaustion, but the Iliathorians bustling to and fro three stories beneath him did not care how he felt. They did not care that their esteemed sheriff visited often with Dr. Tormod MacInnes, they did not know that the same Dr. MacInnes was under investigation for medical fraud, and they did not care to know that the good doctor was selling the 'services' of his own son in exchange for the sheriff's protection.
But Seoc wasn't going to tell them. Seoc had no intention of ever telling anyone.
As he sat by the open window, he contemplated jumping out of it. He wondered if he would die immediately upon impact, or fade away slowly, broken and bleeding on the cobblestones. He would have to time his jump so that he wouldn't land on anyone and take them out with him. He didn't want to hurt anybody.
Cautiously, keeping his feet firmly on the floor inside and his hands braced upon the sill, he leaned out. The morning sun stung his eyes and a slight breeze brushed against his face, bringing with it the familiar smells of the city. Sewage, animals, food cooking. Mostly sewage, though.
Pulse rushing, Seoc stepped through the window and onto the ledge beneath it, still holding tightly to the window frame. He looked down. The road had been turned the color of brimstone by the golden sunlight. There was no one beneath him right now. If he was going to step off the ledge, this would be the time to do it.
But it was an awfully long way to fall.
He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, doing his best to banish from his mind the image of his own body splattered on the street below, a crowd of aghast onlookers gathered about it. The thought, however, refused to leave. It would be a terrible sight to see so early in the morning. Who was he to so selfishly ruin the day of a complete stranger?
Seoc climbed back in through the window and closed the leaded glass panels to prevent further temptation. Then, with a sigh, he sat down on the edge of his bed and glanced wistfully about the room. There, against the westerly wall, sat a crooked old bookcase, overflowing with volumes read and reread so many times that the pages were warped from use, some coming free of the binding. At one point, those stories had meant something to him. He had imagined himself in the place of the heroes of old, defeating dragons and saving the world and so forth. Then, no one would think him a sickly, weak little boy. He would show them how wrong they had been about him.
But now he recognized the stories for what they were: naïve fantasies meant to entertain and educate children, fables centered around the notion that bad things happened to bad people, and that the world was split clearly between good and evil.
And anyway, he was a sickly, weak little boy. It would be futile to try to prove otherwise.
He lay back upon the bedspread—a patchwork quilt his mother had made for him, depicting squirrels and hedgehogs parading across a green and blue checkered background—and turned his attention to the window once more. It would be so simple. All he would have to do would be to open it and step out. Then the nightmare would be over.
But it would hurt. Oh, Rezyn, it would hurt.
Tears clouded his vision and he blinked them back, staring at the ceiling. He didn't want to kill himself. Dying would be painful and frightening, no matter how he went about it. He just wanted to stop existing.
There came a gentle knocking at his door, and Seoc pretended to be asleep.
"Seoc?" he heard his sister say softly as she pushed the door open. "Are you awake?"
The tears were rolling freely down the sides of his face now. He turned over so that Fiona wouldn't see that he was weeping, but his action betrayed the fact that he was indeed awake, and she crossed the room to sit down on the edge of his bed.
"Are you feelin' better, Seocan?"
He did not answer, so she lay her hand on his shoulder.
"Breakfast is ready, if you want ta come doon."
Shaking his head silently, Seoc buried his face in his pillow.
"Is somethin' the matter, Seoc?" When he did not respond, she gave up and patted his head lightly, standing to leave. "Weel, I'll be doonstairs if you need me."
He nodded into the pillow, waiting until she was gone before sitting up and drying his eyes with the heels of his hands. Rising to his feet, he began to pace the room, breathing through clenched teeth. His despair was fading now, replaced by growing anger against everyone and everything. Anger at Fiona for her inability to read his mind. Anger at himself for being too scared to tell her.
Seoc didn't want to go to breakfast, but he knew that he probably should. He had skipped two meals the day before, telling his mother that he felt sick. This wasn't far from the truth, but his real reason for retreating from the table was that he didn't want to see his father, to see him smirking at him, estimating his monetary value.
Right now, though, he was extremely hungry, and starving himself to death was definitely not on his list of preferred ways to go.
Quietly, he exited his bedroom and stood on the landing at the top of the staircase, leaning upon the wooden banister and looking down to the vestibule beneath, hoping to catch a glimpse of Fiona as she made her way between the kitchen and the dining room. He didn't need to wait long.
"Fiona!" he called upon sighting her curly red locks bouncing along below him.
"Aye, Seocan?"
"Can you bring me up a tray? I need ta talk wi' you."

A. Who Should Use HIDs?
Many people are choosing to upgrade to HIDs, but a certain percentage of them will eventually go on to switch to LEDs. While HIDs are brighter and more efficient than halogens, they are prone to failure over time in a way that LEDs simply aren't. If you are on a tight budget and you are looking for a quick, short-term fix, you may want to consider HIDs. However, don't be surprised if you end up changing your headlights several times over the next few years,…

Generally speaking, taking a shower is considered more water efficient than taking a bath. Many also consider a shower the cleaner, healthier option since it's a steady stream of clean water unlike a bath where you sit in the water containing your own filth. However, taking a shower can use up quite a bit more water depending of the duration and the gallon-per-minute rating of the showerhead. Installing new…Continue

First Pitch
First Pitch: The Trade Deadline Set Up a Slow Winter Meetings
First Pitch
The 2012 Winter Meetings are coming to a close, with the 2012 Rule 5 draft marking the end of the week. The meetings have been very slow, not just for the Pirates, but for all teams. There have been some big deals handed out, but top free agents like Zack Greinke and Josh Hamilton are still on the market. That's part of why the market has been so slow across the league. For the Pirates, the reason for the slow meetings is mostly due to the trade deadline.
At the deadline the Pirates acquired guys who had years of control. They traded three prospects for Wandy Rodriguez, who they'll have in the rotation in 2013, and maybe in 2014. They traded Brad Lincoln for Travis Snider, who will have the inside track for a starting corner outfield spot. They traded Gorkys Hernandez and a compensation...

Let no one doubt that the competitive flame still burns within Henry Cecil, even after more than four decades in his job. On a dull, muggy exercise morning on the Newmarket training grounds, a couple of things brought a glint to his eyes. Firstly, the sight of a handsome colt called Frankel, one of the most exciting young talents of the season, striding with ease up the demanding incline of Warren Hill. And secondly, a mention of the prospect of his colleague and neighbour Sir Michael Stoute edging ahead in the trainers' titles tally.
The two men each have 10, second only to the 12 amassed by Alec Taylor Jnr early in the 20th century. Stoute is currently chasing down Richard Hannon for his 11th. For Cecil, though he will be as gracious as ever should it happen, to cede his share of supremacy in the modern era would rankle. He won his last championship in 1993, since when Stoute has picked up seven, and though he remained in the mix during the Nineties, the Noughties, a time of well-documented personaland health problems, brought a dip in his fortunes hard to bear.
After Beat Hollow's Grand Prix de Paris in 2000, the family-crested flag was not hoisted over Cecil's Warren Place stables to celebrate another Group One winner until Passage Of Time's Grand Criterium de Saint-Cloud six years later. "When things are going badly," he said, "and you simply don't have the ammunition, rigor mortis can start to set in. But I just hate being an also-ran and was determined to get back.
"It will be difficult for me to be champion again. I train 100 horses and now others have 200 and more. With 100, I can be competitive,if they have quality. But to be champion, they have to be the best."
Cecil, 67, has held a licence since 1969, when he took over his step-father Cecil Boyd-Rochfort's business. "Maybe I was spoilt for most of my career," he said, "by being routinely sent lovely horses. Over that long dull period I didn't have them and now I have some better ones again I really appreciate them."
Step forward Midday, winner of five Group One contests and set to defend her Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf title in Kentucky next month. And this year's Coral-Eclipse winner Twice Over, going for a second Champion Stakes at his local track on Saturday and with the world's richest prize, the Dubai World Cup, on his radar next March. And Frankel, who may just be the best but will face the sternest test of his young life in the Dewhurst Stakes also next Saturday. All three carry the pink, white and green silks of Khaled Abdullah, Cecil's most loyal patron.
The quest for a wonder horse is what keeps the sport, never mind an individual trainer, going and Frankel's potential shone loud and clear as he took his unbeaten run to three at Ascot last month with a burst of speed and a 10-length solo tour de force.
Of course, the juvenile is no more than a schoolboy prodigy at this stage of his career but his trainer has made no secret of the regard in which he holds the shapely son of Galileo, and heightened heartbeat he provokes. He has paid the bay colt the considerable compliment of favourable comparison with his first real star, Wollow,top-notch at both two and threeduring the mid-Seventies. "He was brilliant," Cecil said, "with a fantastic electric turn of foot. I know I have had some wonderful horses over the years but most of them have been late-maturing types. But you have to go back to Wollow for one with such promise at two, and I don't know if we've ever had one so progressive."
Cecil is perfectly aware that over-trumpeting an equine second coming is usually the road to disappointment. But, still, he is prepared to invest hope in this callow bay athlete, whose bright white star between his eyes stood out through the autumn morning gloom.
"He is exciting for all of us," he admitted. "He's improving the whole time and he's growing up mentally. He's a healthy, active sort of horse and the type who should be better at three. If he happens to win the Dewhurst then you'd have to fancy him very much for the Guineas.
"But we must take it step by step and hype is the last thing we need; we all want it to work out, but they're not machines. If he's a monster, if he's the best for years, let him tell us. But make no assumptions until he does, because bubbles can burst so easily."
Cecil is just pleased to have his first runner in the Dewhurst Stakes, the country's top two-year-old contest, since Vacamonte finished sixth in the 2000 running. "In the past 10 years," he said ruefully, "I wouldn't have been at Newmarket that day, I'd have been somewhere like Wolverhampton. It's good to be back competing at this level with a horse entitled to be there. And to be looking forward."

Croydon is a town in Surrey which is the home of "Martin Smith". When Arthur Dent, upon meeting Zaphod Beeblebrox, unexpectedly tells Ford Prefect that they had met previously, Ford insists that Zaphod is an alien, "not bloody Martin Smith from Croydon". It turns out, however, that Zaphod has previously visited the Earth and indeed met Arthur (very briefly) at a party on the very same night Zaphod picked up Trillian.
Behind the scenes Edit
Martin Smith was in fact one of Douglas Adams' co-writers during his Footlights years at Cambridge - and, yes, he did come from Croydon...

In planning for TEDxBangaloreWomen 2016, we asked our community: What matters to you now? And in emails and comments and even drawings from TEDxWomen organizers and our network of longtime attendees, one powerful theme emerged: time.
Time is personal. We all have the same amount of time — 24 hours a day and yet most of us feel we never have enough. Even with today's latest inventions, technology, science, we can't make time or stop time — or can we?
Come explore time zones, time travel, time outs and times together. We will explore the conventions and challenges of time.
We will ask the hard questions. Because isn't it about time:
In our evening together in Bangalore, we will hear talks that offer up ideas, stories, solutions.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.
Our event is called TEDxBangalore where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangalore event, TED Talks, videos and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
The Sky Deck at VR Bengaluru is in the heart of Whitefield in Bangalore and we're thrilled to present TEDxBangaloreWomen 2016 in this captivating space.Sky Deck at VR Bengaluru Black Box, Whitefield Main Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560048.

Lapis (text editor)

|Operating system

Lapis is an experimental web browser and text editor allowing simultaneous editing of text in multiple selections.
This ability occurs via, and is an instance of, programming by example. The multiple items to edit are selected automatically according to the example provided by the user, making this experimental feature unique to Lapis among text editors, though similar features exist in some web scrapers and data munging tools.
To create the selection, Lapis first determines the more salient properties of the items selected by the user in a process called feature generation, detects common features of the user-selected items, groups these features to create a hypotheses for the concept that defines the selection, and then applies the generalized concept to the whole text.[1] Lapis also features outlier detection, marking in red those items selected that have a low matching score, thus allowing users to review the automatic decisions made by the algorithm.
Lapis includes a template vocabulary to assist editing several kinds of structured languages. One such language is HTML. Lapis includes a Web browser view that allows its multiple edit feature to work on web pages in a WYSIWYG way, through automatic matching of the underlying HTML tags.
The software is programmed in various languages, mainly Java, and released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), with various dependencies provided under other licenses.

KATHMANDU (Xinhua) – With the exclusive launching of the first women-only bus services in Nepal this week, women of the capital have breathed a sigh of relief and have become notably at ease with public transportation.
At a time when women are attacked by groping and sexual harassment, as well as other sorts of violence in public vehicles, this new initiative has provided an instant relief to the female passengers, who maintain that this women-only bus service has made them feel respected and special.
"As a student, I need to travel on this route every day, and I often get attacked by the lusty eyes and the unwanted touches from men's body parts.
"This women-only bus service has helped to get rid of all such abusive acts. It's like receiving special recognition," 21-year-old Kabita Pokharel, an undergraduate student at university, told Xinhua inside the bus.
This new service comes into operation after a World Bank survey of 2013, which showed that 26 percent of young women living in Nepal had experienced sexual harassment in public transport in some form.
Since 1990, 683,847 more vehicles have been added in the Bagmati zone and with the rapid urbaniSation and growing migration, the number of cases of violence against women has hit an unprecedented amount, according to local media.
As a result, the local news reports about violent abuse, assault, sexual harassment and rape are always high.
To combat such assaults, Bagmati Federation Transport Union, a private transport agency, initiated this women-only bus concept on its 17-seat fleet and deployed the single-sex carriers along the local Kalanki-Balkot route.
Currently, the service is in operation on only four mini-buses during morning and evening rush hours.
Though the government had launched priority seats for females known as 'women-only' seats in every public vehicle, the system has not been effectively implemented.

Suzuki automobile enthusiasts have grown accustomed to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their Forenza around town. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other cars, trucks, and SUVs these days. Auto enthusiasts know that dependability is built into each Suzuki, and understand that only the best replacement Forenza parts will suffice when your car or truck needs fixing. You purchased your Forenza because its fuel efficiency and economical pricing appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to superior quality auto parts?
Getting reliable performance out of your Suzuki Forenza means you need precise engine timing. The timing belt tensioner ensures that the timing belt maintains a firm grip on the crank and cam pulleys so it doesn't hop off or skip any time. Your Suzuki Forenza timing belt tensioner looks like any other tensioner pulley, attached to the engine block under the timing cover, and it includes some mechanism (sprung or hydraulic) that applies pressure in direct opposition to the belt in order to keep it tight.
Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Suzuki Forenza part for your project or repair. Need 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 Suzuki Forenza Timing Belt Tensioner parts? We've got them right here.

@romanlaLocale: Southwest Louisiana
I currently have my deet, soap, sanitizer, and sunscreen in BPL droppers. I'm only doing one resupply on the JMT, so I'm a little concerned I may run out. Any opinions?
@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
If you are only taking one dropper bottle of each, yeah, you will likely run out. Probably the one that will go first will be the hand sanitizer. I used a one ounce HDPE Nalgene bottle for mine and ran out a day before reaching Guitar Lake on my final leg after a MTR resupply. I resupplied at Tuolumne Meadows and Red's Meadow on the first half and was fine with full dropper bottles. My DEET was in a BPL dropper bottle, my sunscreen was in a larger version of the dropper bottle. Of course, I went after mosquito season so used hardly any DEET.
@jethroLocale: The Mid-Atlantic flatlands
How have you found the droppers to work with more viscous liquids like sunscreen? Are they hard to dispense?
@rinconLocale: Desert Southwest
"Are they hard to dispense?"
In a nutshell, Yes! But, you can open up the nozzle using a heated needle.
@dragonLocale: Minnesota
I've successfully increased nozzle flow to my liking for various substances with a drill bit.

The man returned to the site of the tragedy at the River Lee on the Hertfordshire and Essex border this morning and shouted at members of the Press to stay away.
The mother, in her 20s, was pronounced dead soon after she was pulled from the water between the villages of Broxbourne and Nazeing just before 8pm last night.
Her three-year-old son and six-year-old daughter were taken to hospital in Harlow, Essex, but were pronounced dead later.
The father said they had been involved in a row which resulted in his partner driving away in the car with the children.
He followed them in another car, but stopped chasing them shortly before the car drove into an industrial estate off the B194 and pitched into the river.
He said: "She was driving like a maniac. My kids were in that car."
None of the deceased has yet been identified.
Essex police later named the dead woman as Kelly Toye, 23, from Harlow.
Her daughter, Courtney Clark, aged six, and three-year-old son, Brandon Clifton, also died in the crash.Reuse content

Diabetes meal planning starts with eating a well-balanced diet that includes carbohydrates (carbs), protein, and fat. Carbs (found in starches, fruit, vegetables, milk/yogurt and sweets) turn into sugar (glucose) in the body. The body needs carbs for energy. Eating too many carbs can raise blood glucose levels too much, but it is important not cut out these foods. Eating too few carbs may cause your blood glucose to go too low. Eating a moderate amount of carbs at each meal, with a balanced intake of protein and fat, will help your blood glucose stay in a healthy range. Here are some tips to get you started. Your dietitian will give you more specific information when you meet with him or her. Limit your intake and portion sizes of high-sugar foods to 2 or 3 times a week or less. These include:Cakes (frosted, layer, plain), pies, and cookiesCandy (hard tack, chocolate, nougats, etc.)Jelly, jam, and preservesTable sugar, honey, molasses, and syrupRegular ice cream, sherbet, regular and frozen yogurt, fruit ices, and PopsiclesRegular soft drinks, fruit drinks (canned or concentrated), and drink mixes with sugar addedMilkshakes, chocolate milk, hot cocoa mixSugar coated cereals, granola, breakfast/snack barsCanned fruits with heavy syrup, dried fruit, fruit roll-ups, candied fruit iced sweet breads, coffee cakes, breakfast rolls, and donuts Avoid the following:Table sugar, honey, molasses and syrupRegular soft drinks, fruit drinks (canned or concentrated), and drink mixes with sugar added milk shakes, chocolate milk, hot cocoa mix canned fruits with heavy syrup Eat 3 well-balanced meals a day and a small snack at night. Each meal should contain both carbs and protein. When planning meals, select a variety of foods from each food group, and watch your portion sizes. Increase your fiber intake. Choose wholegrain breads and cereals. Eat plenty of vegetables, and choose whole fruits instead of fruit juices. Do not skip meals. Meals are best spaced 4 to 5 hours apart. Reduce fat intake by baking, broiling, and grilling your foods, and using low-fat foods. Stay active. Lose weight if you are overweight. Yes revital can be taken. But remember its mere supplement and cannot replace food. All the best. Tc.

Pepper Rock Resources Corp. (PEPR.OB) is "One to Watch"
Pepper Rock Resources Corp. is an emerging company focusing on low risk exploration and production reclamation projects in the oil and gas sector. They are currently negotiating a joint venture project based in Texas. This project would encompass the drilling of several development wells and the re-entry of existing producing wells. In addition, they are evaluating several producing oil and gas properties based in Canada and the United States.
Pepper Rock engages in the careful identification and acquisition of high quality opportunities in the natural gas sector. The Company is working to assemble asset and property combinations, which will include exploratory promise, ongoing production, in-place infrastructure, growth potential, and the ability to offer short-term returns and significant value over the long term.
Yesterday, Pepper Rock Resources Corp. reported that they have made an initial investment of $300,000 as part of phase one of three phases in their joint venture agreement with Oxalis Energy Group, Inc., based in Katy, Texas. In addition, earlier this week, Pepper Rock Resources announced that Mr. Phil Kueber received election as President, Secretary and Director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Kueber is an experienced veteran of the resource and venture capital industry for over 20 years. He has served as the President and CEO of several resource companies in the oil and gas sector.
Today, Pepper Rock Resources Corp. reported that the Company is pleased with their joint venture agreement with Oxalis Energy Group, Inc. and they are optimistic to further the West Texas Project. The Company intends to re-enter two existing wells and drill as many as ten new natural gas wells. The drilling program in this project encompasses 21,000 acres of high quality natural gas at depths of 4,400 to 5,200 feet.
"This property in West Texas has enormous potential according to sector analysts with estimates of total potential valuation ranging from $285 million to $423 million based on recent geological reports of undeveloped reserves on the property," Pepper Rock President Phil Kueber said.

You may recall that Edward Henning is an engineer who works with a number of BID consultants on BID establishment and renewal, writing the engineer's reports required by Streets and Highways Code §36622(n). I've previously reported, e.g., that he seems to get paid about $9,000 for writing these things.1 Well, TIL that Ed Henning is also a BID consultant his own self!
The story begins with Lorena Parker, executive director of the San Pedro Historic Waterfront BID, sending me the contract that Ed Henning and her BID signed for consulting services, along with some ancillary information:
- Signed agreement between Henning and the BID — This contains the price, $20,000, and the terms of the consultancy. It also contains Henning's hourly rate, which is $135 per.
- Henning's proposal to the BID — This is actually incorporated into the contract by reference. It's important because it contains a detailed description of the services to be performed and the timeline for performance.
- Two invoices from Henning to the SPHWBID — These are useful, as they contain the actual hours worked.
These materials are also available on the Archive, which is useful because of OCR and so forth. And that's today's goodies. Turn the page for discussion!
Continue reading The San Pedro BID Is Paying BID Consultant Edward Henning Only $20,000 To Handle Their Impending Renewal. This Is 64% Less Than The Fashion District Will Pay Urban Place Consulting And 75% Less Than The South Park BID Will Pay Tara Devine.

How Country and Safety-Net Characteristics Affect Bank Risk-Shifting

Risk-shifting occurs when creditors or guarantors are exposed to loss without receiving adequate compensation. This paper seeks to measure and compare how well authorities in 56 countries controlled bank risk shifting during the 1990s. Although significant risk-shifting occurs on average, substantial variation exists in the effectiveness of risk control across countries. We find that the tendency for explicit deposit insurance to exacerbate risk shifting is tempered by incorporating loss-control features such as risk-sensitive premiums, coverage limits, and coinsurance. Introducing explicit deposit insurance has had adverse effects in environments that are low in political and economic freedom and high in corruption.

Funds managed by European private equity firm Permira have announced a definitive agreement to sell Renaissance Learning to private equity firm Hellman & Friedman for $1.1bn (£660m). Minter Ellison partner David Pratley and special counsel Michael Ward advised Permira on all Australian tax aspects of the deal.
The form of the transaction under US corporate law has no Australian equivalent and so bespoke analysis was required to advise on the application of Australian tax rules that were not drafted contemplating such transactions.
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom acted as Permira's US legal adviser.
Minter Ellison previously advised on Renaissance Learning's acquisition of Subtext Media in 2013 and on incentive arrangements for Renaissance Learning's Australian management.
Permira advises funds with a total committed capital of close to $30bn. Its funds have a track record of successfully investing in technology and digital media companies around the world, including Ancestry.com, Odigeo, NDS, Genesys and LegalZoom.
Renaissance Learning specialises in cloud-based assessment, teaching and learning solutions with customers in more than a third of US schools and more than 60 countries worldwide. Its other investors include Google Capital. Hellman & Friedman is a private equity investment firm with offices in San Francisco, New York and London.

Minus 50C; winds gusting to 70 knots; dreams about popping outside to check on the dogs: "Shan't be long." Then waking and seeing the vestigial glow of the Aurora Australis through the small window of the modular bedsit, and the triple layer of bubble-wrap beyond the double glazing. All very trying. But nothing that a bit of innovative architecture couldn't handle.
Minus 50C; winds gusting to 70 knots; dreams about popping outside to check on the dogs: "Shan't be long." Then waking and seeing the vestigial glow of the Aurora Australis through the small window of the modular bedsit, and the triple layer of bubble-wrap beyond the double glazing. All very trying. But nothing that a bit of innovative architecture couldn't handle.
Unfortunately, that has never quite been on the agenda in Antarctica. The headquarters of the British Antarctic Survey on the 150m-thick Brunt Ice Shelf has always been sturdy, functional and serviceable - think Alistair MacLean's fictional and rather ad hoc Ice Station Zebra.
Despite the cutting-edge research practised by the scientists there - this is where the hole in the ozone layer was discovered - brute, elemental forces have been met with brutish architecture. That, currently, means a glorified oil-rig on stilts jammed down into the pack ice like a giant, 100m-long steel crampon, whose prongs - the squeamish should look away now - sit on top of what the scientists refer to as "the onion" - a huge bolus of human waste matter buried in the ice.
This particular frontier will soon seem rather less crude. In January, representatives from three design teams will set out for Antarctica to compete for the arduous and unforgiving privilege of creating Halley VI, a post-Millennial survey base. It's a challenge without much obvious kudos. Icon on the ice? Doesn't quite ring true as a heading, does it? Perhaps something racy for the front cover of Fortean Times or the Ozone Fontanel Quarterly might suit the project better: scientists in bubble-wrap heaven.
No, the key thing about the shortlisted survey stations is that they must perform, protect and endure for up to a decade, and cost no more than £14m. And what's so fascinating about the proposals is that they have forced their designers to go right back to basics - to strip away anything that does not completely satisfy that trinity of specifications. The long-listed design teams involved - culled from 86 entries worldwide - were combinations of big-name architects and engineers. The shortlisted trio are: Buro Happold and Lifschutz Davidson; Hopkins Architects and Expedition Engineering; and FaberMaunsell with Hugh Broughton Architects. Among those who didn't make the cut were Richard Rogers Partnership.
Foster Associates, a practice whose fearsome technical expertise might seem to have been tailor-made to triumph, are not in the mix. Nor is the brilliant ex-Fosterian Ken Shuttleworth, now practising solo, whose hamlet of pyramids fell at the first judgemental hurdle; however well they might have performed as internal environments, would they have minimised the crucial problem of wind vortices and subsequent snow build-ups? The environment needed the architectural equivalent of a stripped-down, "slippery" Formula One racer rather than a hi-tech version of the necropolis at Giza.
Happold, Hopkins and FaberMaunsell have produced solutions whose apparent similarities disguise quite different internal approaches. They share one thing, though: the appearance of the proposed stations has resurrected the Walking Cities architropes of the Archigram collective that so hyperventilated designers in the Sixties and Seventies, and which have since become classic examples of once futuristic "impossibilities" that are suddenly, and almost quaintly, à la mode.
They all look the part, in terms of the stilted Walking Cities template. But only one, the Hopkins entry, seeks to deliver the key Archigram fantasy: their station will actually move. It's designed to shuffle along on steel legs shod with giant snow-shoes.
It's not a gimmick. Over the decades, the British Antarctic Survey's research stations have been sited less than 10 kilometres from the edge of the retreating ice-sheet. One eventually tipped into the sea, and another was dragged to a safer position by a helicopter flying a highly dangerous mission. Yet another, a buried habitat designed by the respected engineer, Stephen Whitby, was gradually deformed by the pressure of the slow-moving ice to such an extent that its inhabitants sometimes heard rivets pinging loose in the dead of night. It must have been rather like being in a submarine diving too deep into the Mariana Trench, the creak of its hull presaging doom.
Hopkins's idea is intriguing because it plainly recognises the implacable physical strictures of Antarctic existence, but also wants to add something distinct to the sheer ingenuity of the experience. Their design is a combination of a Big Idea that depends on highly refined structural and wind science - via computerised fluid dynamics - and the simplest possible arrangement and construction of the individual living and work spaces that would make up the research station's two 800-ton units. The inhabitants will live and work in standard shipping containers, fitted out before shipment and slotted into their final configurations on site like so many Duplo blocks.
It's strangely encouraging to report that the shuffling legs of the two buildings have been demonstrated both theoretically and practically. Satisfied with their drawings and putative power-drive systems, the engineers made a Lego Technic model of the station whose electric walking mechanisms worked exactly as the real ones would. The legs look elegant and a bit skimpy, but there's no doubt they will tote their loads.
The buildings' outer layer will be familiar to anybody who's visited the Eden Project in Cornwall or the space museum at Leicester: it's composed of EFTE "pillows", which form a translucent duvet around the building's perimeter.
But it's the legs that draw the eye again and again. Hopkins has shown increasingly deft touches in its designs of strut structures - the timber spindle-trees holding up the roof of their recently completed Norwich Cathedral extension were superbly svelte - but the final form of the survey-station legs are of such critical importance in terms of high-velocity snowdrift that they have plugged into the expertise of the Canadian extreme-weather design specialists, RWDI. The form of every steel profile, every flange and every joint matters greatly.
All the shortlisted designs are intent on minimising environmental impact. Hopkins appears to have come up with something special: an ice spine, like a long thin hummock running between its buildings, which with the right supporting technology could be used to generate hydrogen. And that, in combination with solar and wind power, could eventually deliver a zero carbon output environment.
And the competition? It's pretty fierce. The survey station designed by Buro Happold and Lifschutz Davidson features a series of two-tier linear "craft" standing on adjustable, stainless steel legs, linked by bridges and with an airbag around each foot to remove packed snow. The two-decked craft are formed with ribcages of curved beams with outer layers clad in a translucent skin. There are even small balconies - a rather eerie touch, this, because it seems to have more to do with apartments overlooking the Thames than impending frostbite or snow-blindness.
FaberMaunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects have gone for a series of tuggable bug-structures, again on stilts. Set out and interconnected on the ice-shelf, they would resemble a pattern of glinting bacilli. This is not to belittle their vision. While Hopkins and Buro Happold have delivered stations comprised of two and three structures respectively, it may be that FaberMaunsell's 11-pod solution would suit the various needs of the British Antarctic Survey better. On the other hand, it would surely produce more complex snowdrift effects - and that has significant implications in terms of snow management on the site.
What will the representatives of the three design teams make of the conditions when they're shuttled out to Antarctica next month during the eight-week safe-weather window? Will they still think their designs are up to it? And what will the researchers make of them?
One thing is certain: the three pairs of practices are facing a quite extraordinary design opportunity, and one that will set a new standard of accommodation - and existence - in these brutal wastes. The architects and engineers involved have, in effect, found themselves back in their third-or fourth-year classes at university or school of architecture, faced with a problem they know little or nothing about.
The quietly enjoyed thrills of these three ventures into the unknown must have provided timely reminders that, at its best, architecture should always be the result of fresh, exploratory thought. In the case of the British Antarctic Survey's forthcoming Halley VI research station, two kinds of exploration will coalesce on the Brunt Ice Shelf. For the first time, the boys from the white stuff will be sitting pretty.Reuse content

descriptionWith Oneida s ambitions running skyward in the digital age, for Rated O they took the risk of all risks and released a triple album. Self-indulgent as that may seem, recording in bulk works especially well for the rhythmic Brooklynites. Considering that they have often prided themselves on both being experimental and taking repetition to the limit, a long running time of 108 minutes only feels natural and with such a huge canvas to work with, they expand their palette accordingly, adding some new styles to the mix to maintain interest throughout. Disc one is a huge departure from their prior post-rock material, where they go the Fuck Buttons glitch route and use a wealth of electronics to create a long-running hypnotic groove. Brownout in Lagos starts the show as a fuzzed-out dub loop, complete with dancehall toasting by Dad-Ali Ziai. The motorik mayhem becomes more chaotic as the disc continues, eventually devolving into The Human Factor, a death-rattling scream coming out in the midst of sirens, a disjointed Gang of Four beat, and a meaty bass drone searching for the elusive brown note. It may be Oneida s all-time most difficult piece, but luckily, all of the songs aren t this relentlessly scary. Disc two ropes listeners back in with a more guitar-oriented, rock-based feel. The production is cavernous and haunting, and the riffs are beastly, making Luxury Travel sound something like a cross between Clinic and Isis. The dust clears for disc three, as the organ-guitar-drums trio explores its psychedelic side with three songs: O, a sitar trip-fest; End of Time, an organ drone and shaker; and the 20-plus-minute jam Folk Wisdom. Sure, it's exhausting, and there s a fair share of filler, but that seems to be the point. As unruly as they are, all of Rated O's discs stand tall.
