1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a security system to detect unauthorised removal of articles from a restricted area, such as a retail store.
2. State of the Art
Various systems have been adopted in retail outlets to combat fraud. In one type of system, a tag is attached to each article of clothing or other merchandise, and must be removed before the article is taken out of the store, otherwise a detector at the exit door senses the tag and sets off a general audible alarm. However, another form of fraud which is developing consists of the fraudster removing an article from one part of the store, then taking it to the "returns" desk and claiming a cash refund.
We have now devised a security system of improved effectiveness and which is able to counter the above-described form of fraud.
In accordance with this invention, there is provided a security system to detect unauthorised removal of articles from a restricted area such as a retail store, in which each article carries a read/write tag, the security system comprising at least one-point-of-sale or point-of-authorisation apparatus arranged to write specific data into (or erase specific data from) the tag to indicate that the article has been paid for or its removal has otherwise been authorised, and a detector apparatus for the or each exit of said restricted area, said detector apparatus being arranged to read each tag to determine if said specific data has been written into (or erased from) the tag and otherwise to initiate an alarm.
The security system preferably further comprises a refunds/returns detector apparatus arranged to read the tag of each article presented to it and to determine if said specific data has been written into (or erased from) the tag, and to erase (or write in) said data so that the article can be returned to stock.
For example the point-of-sale apparatus may write into the tag data representing the date of sale and the actual price paid for the article. Then the refunds/returns detector erases the data and price-paid data.
Preferably the security system also includes detector equipment for installing internally of the store (for example at passageways between departments or at stairways or escalators between floors), this detector equipment being arranged to read the tags of articles passing them to determine whether any of those articles has not yet been paid for: preferably each such detector equipment is arranged to initiate a low level or discrete alarm, which is available to staff but not to customers. Such a detector may also be arranged as a personal detector to be worn or carried by a member of staff, e.g. providing a discrete audible alarm to an ear piece worn by that member of staff.
Preferably also the detector equipment at each exit location, or at each internal fixed location, comprises at least one ferrite core aerial used in scanning mode. For example, a plurality of such ferrite core aerials may be spaced apart along one transverse dimension of the exit or other passageway (e.g. across its width) and directed generally perpendicular to that dimension (e.g. vertically). The aerials are then switched on one-by-one in succession to scan across the exit or other passageway. Alternatively, a ferrite core aerial may be mounted to a drive apparatus which moves the aerial to scan back-and-forth across the exit or other passageway.
Embodiments of this invention will now be described by way of examples only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram schematically showing the individual elements of a security system in accordance with this invention;
FIG. 2 is a front view of an exit doorway from a retail store, showing diagrammatically a scanning-mode detector aerial array;
FIG. 3 is a similar view of an exit doorway, showing diagrammatically an alternative form of scanning mode detector aerial array; and
FIG. 4 is a similar view of an exit doorway, showing diagrammatically another from of scanning-mode aerial.
In accordance with this invention, each article of merchandise to be sold in a store carries a tag to which data can be written and from which data can be read. The tag generally comprises a small flat semiconductor chip: in the case of garments, the chip is preferably bonded to the usual label of the garment. The chip may include an air-core aerial or a ferrite core aerial for inductive coupling with read/write equipment both for powering the chip and for data transfer.
Preferably the manufacturer or wholesaler of the merchandise uses data-write equipment which inductively couples to the tag of each article to write into the tag data such as a code identifying the article, the identity of the manufacturer and/or wholesaler and the date of manufacture.
As shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, each store has read-write equipment 10 at its goods-entry. This equipment 10 is linked to a stock control computer 20 of the store, and via an inductively-coupling read head 11 reads the tag of each article newly-received into the store to identify the article and add it to the data held by the computer 20. Also via an inductively-coupling write head 12 the equipment 10 writes data to the tag of each article, this data including the identity of the store and the date of receipt of the article. The equipment 10 preferably includes a visual display 13 for showing the data read from each tag and for verifying the data written into each tag. The equipment 10 may also have a keyboard 14 for manually entering any other desired data into the tag memory.
Each store also has at least one point-of-sale, having read/write equipment 30. This equipment is linked to the store's stock control computer 20 which, in addition to maintaining a record of the numbers of the different articles or items of merchandise within the store, also maintains a record of the current price applicable to each different article. The equipment 30 is used to read, via an inductively-coupling read head 31, the tag of each article being purchased: the identity code is read from the tag and the current price of the article is obtained by referring this code to the computer 20. The equipment 30 includes a visual display 32 arranged to display the identity of the article and its current price. The equipment 30 further includes a printer 33 to print a bill or receipt for the customer, the data for this being derived from that read from the tag of each article being purchased. The equipment 30 also includes an inductively-coupling write head 34 which writes data into the tag of each article being purchased, to indicate that the article has been paid for: this data preferably includes the date of the sale and the actual price paid. As each article is purchased, the stock control computer 20 debits its stock control records accordingly.
At the or each exit of the store, a fixed detector 40 is installed to check that every article being taken out of the store has been paid for. Thus, the detector 40 includes an inductively-coupling read head 41 to read data from the tag of each article being taken out of the store, to determine whether the tag carries data indicating that it has been paid for (i.e. the data that should have been written in at the point of sale). If the detector 40 fails to read such data, it initiates an alarm.
In an alternative, the point-of-sale equipment 30 may erase a special indicator from the tag memory: then if the exit detector 40 detects the presence of such an indicator (indicating that the customer is carrying an article that has not been paid for), the detector 40 initiates its alarm.
Preferably the store also has detector equipment installed internally of the store, for example at passageways between departments or at stairways or escalators between floors. Normally customers would pay for the goods from one department or floor before moving to another department or floor: these detectors can therefore monitor movements of merchandise within the store, being arranged (similar to the exit-detectors) to read the tags of articles passing them to determine whether those articles have been paid for at one of the store's points-of-sale. Preferably these in-store detectors are arranged to initiate a low level or discrete alarm enabling staff to discretely monitor customers: for example the alarm may consist of a light positioned to be visible only by members of staff, e.g. a security guard. Such a detector may also be carried or worn by an in-store security guard, who can then discretely screen any customer within the store: in this case the alarm may be an audible alarm e.g transmitted to an ear plug.
The store also has a refunds or returns department, which includes read/write equipment 50. When a customer returns an article to this department, the equipment 50 is used via its inductively-coupling read head 51 to read the tag to check that the article had been paid for and to determine the date of purchase and the price paid. This information is erased from the tag memory via an inductively-coupling write head 52 of the equipment 50: also the identity of the store and date of receipt is written into the tag, and the store's stock control records are updated, so that the article can be placed back on sale within the store.
It will be appreciated that although separate read and write heads are shown in each of the items of equipment 10, 30 and 50, each pair of read and write heads (e.g. 11 and 12) may comprise a single aerial.
Referring to FIG. 2, the detector equipment at each exit or internal fixed location of the store preferably comprise an array of ferrite core aerials 60 spaced apart across the width of the exit and directed vertically: for example as shown the aerials may be positioned above the exit and directed downwardly. The effective field of each aerial is shown by dotted lines, and is generally in the shape of an elongated pear which extends the height of the exit but is relatively narrow. In use, the aerials 60 are switched one-by-one to effect a scan across the width of the exit. As shown in FIG. 3, alternate aerials 60, 61 may be positioned above and below the exit. Instead, the array(s) may be spaced apart up the vertical side(s) of the exit and directed across its width. As shown in FIG. 4, there may be a single aerial 62 which is continuously energised and mounted to a drive apparatus which moves (e.g. pivots or linearly displaces) the aerial 62 back-and-forth across the exit, effectively in a scanning mode.

Arvind Kejriwal: 15-day fast may go beyond the period
New Delhi: Team Anna Hazare on Friday said the 15-day fast for a strong Lokpal Bill may go beyond the period depending upon the government's response to the agitation. Hazare's associate and RTI activist Arvind Kejriwal said the 74-year-old Gandhian was actually planning a longer programme for the protest fast but there was a legal problem.
Kejriwal said Hazare's health was fine and was not a matter of concern.
Asked if statements coming out that Hazare's fast is indefinite and not a fast-unto-death was a climbdown, Kejriwal said, "There is no climbdown. Anna Hazare never used the word fast-unto-death. It is an indefinite fast. Anna used the word indefinite because it is more spiritual. Fast-unto-death seems a little more in the connotation of blackmail."
Replying to a question about the possibility of certain organisations and individuals in the movement becoming violent, he said, "You have seen the movement so far remaining non-violent. This shows the spirituality of the entire movement."

Anna Hazare fever spreads to Hong Kong, Singapore; expat Indians join protests
BEIJING: The Anna Hazare fever has spread to Hong Kong and Singapore with expatriate Indians holding relay fasts, meetings and demonstrations. More demonstrations and a drive to raise funds for the movement back home have been planned over the weekend.
Volunteers posted at the entry gates of subway stations in Hong Kong are distributing a two-paper leaflets explaining why it was necessary for Indians living abroad to express their support for the anti-corruption movement and comparing the official and the Anna Hazare versions of the Lokpal Bill.
"We are telling people we should share the pain felt in India over issues like corruption. Sharing the nationality is not enough," said Dilip Pandey, a Hong Kong-based IT expert, who played a key role in organising a meeting attended by 80 local Indians last Sunday. Pandey, his wife and another local Indian have been on relay fast for the past two days.
Another meeting is scheduled for the coming Sunday when Pandey and his friends expect a larger turnout. Plans include launching a fund-raising drive to send donations for the Jan Lokpal movement in India. They also plan to collect signatures of the attendees on a memorandum to be submitted to the Indian Consulate in Hong Kong.
"We also want to approach the United Nations saying that the main principals in the UN Convention against corruption have not been implemented in India," Pandey said.
A group of Indians based in Singapore has approached the local police for permission to hold a meeting at the Speaker's Corner, a place designated by the government for the purpose of holding protests. They are also implementing a signature drive in order to submit a memorandum to the Indian High Commissioner demanding implementation of the Jan Lokpal Bill.
"We are expecting the permission to come through soon. We have provided the police with details about the nature of our demonstration including the banners we will be carrying and protest T-shirts to be worn by us," Aashis Sharma, a financial consultant organising Indians in Singapore, said.
Singapore is holding its presidential election on Saturday. Sharma expects the police to give him permission to hold the meeting on another day. "There is a huge amount of interest from Indian citizens involved in a wide range of professions in Singapore," he said. He expects at least 700 people to turn up at the forthcoming meeting.
Indians in Hong Kong were early starters submitted a memorandum to the local Indian Counsel-General on April 9 and holding a bicycle rally with volunteers wearing T-shirts carrying the "India Against Corruption" logo on April 16. Two local Indians, Sailesh Saraf and Ajay Sharma have already gone to India to join the Anna Hazare movement.
Anand Mahindra (on twitter): Comforting that media-savvy young India's image of an iconic leader is not a photogenic & Clintonesque character but a simple septuagenarian.
Kiran Bedi (on twitter): Just been informed that nine opposition political parties have asked government to withdraw their Lokpal Bill and table an effective one.
CVC accuses Ramnath Pradeep of violation of bank norms to favour some corporate houses in disbursal of loans and of granting undue favours. Asks finance ministry to seek explanation and take appropriate action
The Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) has indicted Ramnath Pradeep, chairman and managing director of Corporation Bank, on a series of charges of corruption and abuse of authority to favour some corporate houses.
The CVC has said in a report that Mr Pradeep abused his authority and power by deliberately favouring some corporate houses in sanctioning big-ticket loans, despite them being in default of loans from other state-owned banks. He has also been charged with altering the bank's decision-making process for sanctioning advances to certain parties and granting undue favours in awarding consultancy, retainer ship as well as outsourcing of ATM activities.
According to a newspaper report, Mr Pradeep has been charged with eight offences, four of which concern irregularities in extending advances and the others are related to other issues such as management decisions.
The CVC has submitted its report to the department of financial services (DFS) in the Union Ministry of Finance, advising it to seek an explanation from Mr Pradeep on the "lapses noticed by the inquiry officer." It has asked the ministry to the report back to the CVC with its comments. The Commission has recommended that "appropriate measures may be taken by the department (DFS) to restrain the CMD from further abuse of authority."
According to sources, the vigilance commission has addressed the report to the ministry directly to ensure that it reaches on time in view of the seriousness of the charges and that Mr Pradeep is to retire from service on 30 September 2011.
Strangely, information sought under the Right to Information Act reveals that the report was received by the ministry after a delay of 26 days.
In its reply to an RTI query, the CVC said that the report was submitted by the inquiry officer on 9 June 2011 and that it was sent to the secretary of the DFS on 30 June 2011 to obtain the explanation of the CMD. It also said that the report was forwarded to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for further investigation and verification.
The Ministry of Finance in its reply to an RTI query said that it had received the "Direct Inquiry Report" of the CVC on 27 July 2011. It also said that, "The same (report) is being examined in this Department. No deadline has been fixed for completing the action in the matter."
According to a whistleblower, "DFS has sought the CMD's explanation on the report through a letter dated 1st August advising him to submit it at the earliest, without giving any timeframe. This indicates that the ministry is soft-pedalling the matter."
Meanwhile, Mr Pradeep has been quoted in the Mint business daily as saying that, "Some people in the bank had moved the CVC against me. I am preparing a reply to these charges. I have done everything as per the rules, there are no issues."
Damien Marmion believes that while banks choose insurance partners with multi-line products, they should be allowed to tie up with more than one insurer so customers have a choice
Dr Damien Marmion, chief executive officer, Max Bupa Health Insurance, says his company's approach on in-house cashless service gives it an edge. He aims to ensure that growth does not come at the cost of customer service. In an interview to Moneylife, he discussed the progress the company has made in a year since it was launched, his experiences and plans, and the way forward for the industry.
Mediclaim customers have major issues getting cashless approval. How do you handle it?
It starts with the education of customers, agents and hospital staff. The handbook has simple diagrams on the steps a customer must take. Hospitals have a regular turnover of staff, so it may entail retraining. There is a system in place whereby the customer is updated on the different stages by SMS. Our sales manager made an anonymous attempt to get cashless approval and managed to get it within 45 minutes. Our approach on in-house cashless approval gives us an edge. It is a 24-hour service.
How is your direct approach better than the TPA (third party administrator) service that is associated mostly with PSU insurers?
The main complaint of mediclaim customers is the TPA service. We wanted to avoid that route. Our cashless is restricted to only 860 hospitals, but corporate hospitals in major cities are covered. Moreover, we have done quality inspection at 540 hospitals to ensure proper medical standards. This is usually not done by insurance companies.
Do you find inflated bills when customers go for cashless treatment? Unnecessary diagnostics tests, procedures?
We have agreed on the tariff rates at all the hospitals where we have negotiated for cashless treatment. Apart from that, we have relationship doctors in 11 cities that are in touch with the hospital when a customer is admitted. We also analyse reimbursement claims. Some people think most of the claims are fraudulent. It's not the case. Corporate hospitals want to protect their brand and attract customers.
But you have a presence mostly in bigger cities.
We want to walk before we can run; expand one city at a time. Many insurers start off with trying to get customers from everywhere, only to end up with customer service being affected. Telesales and the online channel helps us to reach out to customers in numerous cities (where the agency force may be absent).
Have you explored the bancassurance channel?
As of today, bancassurance is restricted to a tie-up with one insurer. Banks go with insurers offering multi-line products so that they can sell motor insurance and other products too. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) should open it to multiple insurers. If customers want choice, then give it.
Have you started getting claims now that your company is over a year old? Have you had the experience of a policyholder going to the insurance ombudsman due to rejection of claims?
We have started getting quite a few claims. There is only one case with the insurance ombudsman. It is more to do with disclosure problems while taking a policy (which led to the claims rejection).
Based on your interaction with IRDA and GIC, how is the progress on health insurance portability that is to be implemented from 1st October? Do you think all insurers and IRDA will be ready by the 1st October deadline?
The details are still being worked through. So, we cannot conclude the date until we have the details sorted out.
How has policy renewal been after one year of business?
It has been in line with our expectations. 70% to 80% of existing customers have renewed their policies. We should have new business of Rs70 crore this year.
You offer an incentive of 10% renewal premium for health services and products.
This is in line with our initiative of 'Your Health First' for healthier living. Preventive healthcare is the best approach.
You do not offer alternative medical treatments like homeopathy, ayurveda, etc.
Not, at this time. Eventually, we will get to it.

Cinco de Mayo Shrubarita May 04 2015
Cinco de Mayo Shrubarita
Margaritas are delicious, no question. But drinking them for Cinco de Mayo every year can get monotonous. Why not mix it up this year with a more creative tequila-based drink: the Cinco de Mayo shrub?
Shrubs are lightly sweetened, fruit-infused vinegars that can be used as an alternative sour element in cocktails. They first came into vogue when the price of limes shot up suddenly, sending mixologists searching for an alternative. You can easily make your own shrubs at home (see the recipe below) or order a premade shrub from a company like Shrub & Co.
Usually, shrubs get mixed with gin to make a light, punchlike drink perfect for summer sipping. Our version adds tequila for a little south-of-the-border kick, creating a sweet, fruit-tinged alternative to the margarita for your Cinco de Mayo celebration.
½ cup sugar
½ cup water
½ cup raspberries
¾ to 1 cup apple cider vinegar
There are multiple ways to mix up a batch of drinking vinegar, but this is the easiest. Combine sugar and water in a saucepan with raspberries and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring regularly, until the raspberries disintegrate. Then pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a heat-safe container to strain out the raspberries. Then mix in apple cider vinegar to taste.
(Note: usually, shrubs are a roughly 1:1 ratio of vinegar to sugar. But for the recipe below, you're going to want something on the tarter side—after all, it is replacing lime juice. Feel free to go crazy with the amount of vinegar you add to this recipe.)
Large compartment: Hornitos Silver Tequila
Medium compartment: raspberry shrub
Small compartment: Cointreau
Pour the contents of the Rejigger into a pint glass filled with ice. Shake well and strain into a coupe or margarita glass. Enjoy!
The Almost Perfect Manhattan May 01 2015
The Almost Perfect Manhattan
Mixing a Classic Manhattan is simple—almost too simple. A 2:1 ratio of rye whiskey to sweet vermouth; a dash of bitters; a cocktail cherry. And that's it. Pretty easy for one of the most popular classic cocktails in the world.
A simple twist to the Classic Manhattan is the Perfect Manhattan which uses equal parts sweet vermouth and dry vermouth to dial back the sweetness, while maintaining the 2:1 whisky to vermouth ratio.
But here at ReJigger HQ, we have our own spin on the Perfect Manhattan. Last week, we talked about why bartenders are getting excited about mixing drinks with vermouth—the aromatised, fortified wine that goes into both manhattans and martinis.
The Almost Perfect Manhattan hops on this trend by adding a second dose of dry vermouth to the usual sweet. The result? A smoother take on the classic drink that will still make you feel like Don Draper when you drink it. We call it the Almost Perfect Manhattan, although depending who you ask, it might also be called the More Perfect Manhattan.
Large compartment - rye whiskey
Medium compartment - sweet vermouth
Small compartment - dry vermouth
Two dashes of Angostura bitters (optional)
Cocktail cherry for garnish (optional)
Ingredient Spotlight: Vermouth April 17 2015
Historically, vermouth hasn't gotten much love from Anglo-American drinkers. (Famed martini-lover Alfred Hitchcock once said that the closest he wanted to get to a bottle of vermouth was looking at it across the room.) However, recent years have brought about a renaissance for the fortified, aromatized wine. Usually less than 20% alcohol by volume, vermouth is a great way to make low-booze cocktails with a spirit-forward taste.
It's also a good way to update a beloved classic drink. Aficionados rave about the inverted manhattan, whose 1:2 ratio of whiskey to vermouth reverses the standard manhattan recipe. Vermouth-centric versions of the martini and the negroni also exist.
Keep in mind the three facts below, and you'll be ready to have your own fun with this classic cocktail ingredient!
- There are multiple types of vermouth (but at least two you should know.)
Vermouth originated in the alpine foothills of what is now northern Italy and the Savoy region of southern France. This national divide created two main types of vermouth: a reddish sweet vermouth made in Italy and a lighter dry vermouth manufactured mostly in France. The sweet version is what you'll find in drinks like the negroni and manhattan, while dry vermouth is most often found in a martini.
Those are the only two varieties necessary for a basic bar. If your palate tires of these traditional categories, however there are still many more to try. The more adventurous can mix a manhattan with bitter Punt e Mes or try a martini with bright Dolin Blanc "white vermouth." The possibilities are endless!
- You should store vermouth in the fridge.
One common misconception about vermouth is that it belongs in the liquor cabinet. Though its relatively high alcohol content means that it won't spoil as quickly as cabernet, fortified wine is still wine. It needs to be kept in the fridge after opening, or it'll go bad within a couple of weeks.
- Vermouth isn't just for cocktails.
The Boulevardier April 10 2015
It's a time-tested method of inventing a new cocktail: take a recipe you already love, and then swap out one or two ingredients. (We at Rejigger HQ are so fond of this method, we wrote an entire blog post about it.) Swap lemon juice for raspberry shrub or dry vermouth for an amaro, and you might end up with an original, never-before-seen cocktail.
Or you might end up with a classic cocktail that you didn't know existed.
Many cocktail aficionados—even bartenders—aren't familiar with the boulevardier. That's the classic cocktail you get when you add whiskey to a negroni instead of gin. The boulevardier still has the bitterness of Campari and the smoothness of sweet vermouth. But instead of gin's herbal notes, it gets whiskey's dark complexity. That's one experiment good enough to deserve its own unique name.
Many consider the boulevardier a winter cocktail, the kind you nurse by a roaring fire in a mahogany-paneled library. But we say that the grapefruit-y flavor of Campari still makes it suitable for summer garden parties and the like. After all—a truly good cocktail has no season.
Small compartment: sweet vermouth
Medium compartment: Campari
Large compartment: Bourbon or rye whiskey
Note: If you want to dial down the Campari, you can put it in the small compartment and have the sweet vermouth in the medium compartment.
Pour the contents of the Rejigger into a pint glass. Shake, then pour into a rocks glass over ice. Enjoy!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! March 17 2015
Ireland isn't famous for its cocktails—but that doesn't mean that your St. Patrick's Day celebration has to be limited to green beer and straight whiskey. Here are two Rejigger cocktail recipes to help you celebrate the joys of the Emerald Isle, whether you're spending the holiday searching for four-leaf clovers at home or cheering a parade through the streets.
Dapper Leprechaun
If Don Draper were a leprechaun, this would be his go-to drink. Sophisticated and spirit-forward, this manhattan-like cocktail gets a tinge of greenish color from chartreuse—a sweet herbal liqueur crafted by French monks. A dash of Jameson Irish Whiskey ensures the drink keeps an Irish pedigree.
Small compartment - Green chartreuse
Medium compartment - Dry vermouth
Large compartment - Jameson Irish Whiskey
Pour the contents of the Rejigger into a pint glass, along with ice. Shake well, then strain into a cocktail glass. Enjoy!
Boozy Shamrock Shake
When we at Rejigger HQ were kids, St. Patrick's Day was all about one sweet treat: the McDonalds Shamrock Shake. Even today, its minty taste and bright-green color bring back sweet fast-food memories. This year, we decided to give the childhood favorite a grown-up update—by mixing it with a Rejigger full of booze. Besides the obligatory shot of Jameson, there's also Bailey's Irish Cream and crème de menthe to enhance the drink's creamy, minty taste. Slainté!
(If you're unable to procure a Shamrock Shake, then a vanilla milkshake should work just as well. The crème de menthe will still turn the drink a pale, St. Patrick's-y green.)
Small compartment - Crème de menthe
Medium compartment - Bailey's Irish Cream
Large compartment - Jameson Irish Whiskey
Small (12 oz.) McDonalds Shamrock Shake
Skim the whipped cream and maraschino cherry off the top of the Shamrock Shake. Then pour the Shake and the contents of the Rejigger into a pint glass and stir with a spoon. Pour into two coupes or a single highball glass and enjoy!
Valentine's Day Cocktails February 12 2015
Happy Valentine's Day!
There's nothing like a carefully mixed craft cocktail to show a loved one you care. That's why this Valentine's Day, we at Rejigger HQ are sharing two new cocktail recipes designed to inspire romance. The first of our red-and-pink drinks is a little more traditional, and easy for a home cocktail newbie to master; the second gives a standard drink an adventurous, savory twist.
Cupid's Collins
A glass of champagne is romantic on its own. But mix it into a light, fizzy cocktail, and you've got a love potion as potent as a hit from Cupid's arrow. In this adapted Collins recipe, we swap out the usual soda water for a pour of bubbly; fresh raspberries turn the final cocktail candy-heart pink.
Large compartment: Gordon's London Dry Gin
Medium compartment: lime juice
Small compartment: simple syrup
6-7 raspberries*
Champagne or prosecco to top off
Pour the contents of your Rejigger into a pint glass. Add the raspberries and muddle them thoroughly, until the drink turns a light pink. Add ice and shake, then strain through a fine mesh strainer into a Collins glass or champagne flute. Top off with champagne, prosecco, or another sparkling wine. You can also drop in a few raspberries for garnish!
*If you don't want to deal with muddling fresh fruit, a spoonful of raspberry jam works here, too. Then, you can ditch the fine mesh strainer and use the Rejigger to strain as usual.
Chocolate-covered strawberries, candies in a heart-shaped box—the traditional Valentine's Day foods are definitely tasty, but also so predictable. That's why this February 14, we at Rejigger HQ challenge you to consider the romantic possibilities of a different edible: the humble beet.
Before you laugh out loud and close this tab on your web browser forever, hear us out for a second. Why not beets? They're red, they're heart-shaped—everything anyone could ask of a Valentine's Day treat. And they add vibrant color to this margarita variation, which we've adapted from Saveur magazine. In our version, an infusion of fresh jalapeño pepper gives your romantic evening a little extra spice.
Large compartment: Sauza Gold Tequila
Medium compartment: lime juice
Small compartment: Cointreau
2 tbsp. pureed beets
A chopped jalapeño pepper for muddling
Pour the contents of your Rejigger into a pint glass. Add the chopped pepper and muddle thoroughly, then pour in the beets. Shake well and strain into a margarita or cocktail glass.
Happy Pisco Sour Day! February 01 2015
Unlike with last week's cocktail—the piping-hot Irish coffee—It's not immediately clear why this sunny yellow drink from South America would have its day in darkest February. But many of the pisco sour's elements—from warming brandy to a blanket of egg-white froth—give it a lot in common with other midwinter drinks. It's also a good drink for a fan of whiskey sours who wants to start experimenting with specialty alcohols.
Pisco itself is a brandy distilled from grape wine, common in both Peru and Chile. Both countries also claim the pisco sour as their country's national drink. For the Rejigger version, we followed the traditional Peruvian recipe, which calls for slightly spicier Peruvian pisco as well as a sprinkling of bitters on top. A dose of lime juice adds a strong kick, so feel free to up the dosage of simple syrup in the final cocktail as needed.
Large compartment: Pisco Porton
Medium compartment: lime juice
Small compartment: simple syrup
One egg white
Angostura bitters (optional)
Pour the contents of your Rejigger into a pint glass, and add one egg white along with some ice. (Check out this YouTube video for tips on separating the egg white from the yolk.) Shake vigorously, until the egg white gets frothy, then strain into a coupe or cocktail glass. Add one to three drops of bitters on top, if desired, then sip and enjoy.
Happy National Irish Coffee Day! January 25 2015
With its blend of warming whiskey and eye-opening caffeine, the Irish coffee may be the ideal drink for getting through a long winter night. So it makes sense that National Irish Coffee Day comes in the dead of winter—January 25, to be exact. And it also makes sense that the drink was invented to warm people up in cold weather.
That was back in November 1943, at an airport in Foynes, Ireland. When a flight to Nova Scotia was stranded there by a snowstorm, the chef at the airport's restaurant took pity on the waiting passengers, and began adding a small tipple of whiskey to their coffees. When asked if coffee was Brazilian, he jokingly responded that no, it was "Irish coffee"—and a new cocktail was born. (You can read more about the history of Irish coffee at the website of the Foynes Flying Boat Museum.)
Today, we celebrate National Irish Coffee Day—and the unique warming qualities of Irish whiskey—with a brand-new Rejigger cocktail recipe. Traditional Irish coffee contains nothing but whiskey and brown sugar, with a dollop of cream on top. But for the Rejigger version, we decided to fancy things up, adding Kahlua instead of sugar and replacing regular cream with the Bailey's Irish variety. The result is a rich and boozy drink that could sustain any traveler through a long, cold wait for a trans-Atlantic flight.
Small compartment - Bailey's Irish Cream
Large compartment - Jameson Whiskey
Medium compartment - Kahlua
About 8 oz. strong black coffee
Brew up a full cup of coffee, and pour it into a pint glass (you're going to have more drink than the average coffee cup will hold). Pour the contents of the Rejigger into the glass slowly, so the Bailey's doesn't curdle. Once everything is mixed, pour it out into your chosen container—which could be a Irish whiskey glass with a handle, a tulip glass with a short and sturdy stem, or your favorite coffee mug. Enjoy!
Holiday Gifts For Home Cocktail Revolutionaries December 12 2014
We all know that the best gift for the cocktail lover on your list is the ReJigger. But for those of you who bought ReJiggers to stuff last year's stockings, we've rounded up a few of our favorite bar accessories to help take your loved one's home cocktail game to the next level.
These restaurant-grade glasses are graceful enough for a fancy holiday party, but they are also pretty much unbreakable (since they're made of the same high grade resin as ReJigger), easy to stack in your cabinet, and dishwasher safe. As if that wasn't enough to make us fall in love, they fit the ReJigger perfectly, for those nights you want to make a single serve cocktail directly in the glass.
There are lots of muddlers out there, but we love the shape of OXO's easy-to-grab handle - and the nylon tip means you won't accidentally scratch your glassware. Mojitos, here we come! Those mint leaves won't stand a chance.
Tovolo's silicone tray makes 15 perfectly square 1 ounce ice cubes. These good-looking cubes melt more slowly than the boring ice cubes from your current trays, giving you more time to get the perfect Instagram shot. We put 3 cubes into our pint glass when we're mixing. Plus, the trays are stackable, durable, and come in a variety of fun colors.
Sure, you can sip a ReJigger cocktail out of any old glass, but nothing classes up a drink like a proper coupe! And if you're on a budget this year, we've had great luck hunting down cool vintage coupes at our local thrift store.
Craft Bitters
A home bar full of craft spirits should also be full of craft bitters! Adding a flavored bitter is the perfect way to get out of a cocktail rut. We love Napa Valley Bitters Co.'s Tamarind Lime Chili Bitters in a ReJiggered Tom Collins or their Pecan Coffee Bitters in the ReJigger Manhattan. Flying home for the holidays? Cocktailpunk's sampler pack is small enough to fit into the ziploc bag of toiletries in your carry-on! Suddenly delays don't seem so bad.

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since merged into Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities. Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere." Java is currently one of the most popular programming languages in use, particularly for client-server web applications.
The original and reference implementation Java compilers, virtual machines, and class libraries were developed by Sun from 1995. As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process, Sun relicensed most of its Java technologies under the GNU General Public License. Others have also developed alternative implementations of these Sun technologies, such as the GNU Compiler for Java and GNU Classpath.
James Gosling, Mike Sheridan, and Patrick Naughton initiated the Java language project in June 1991. Java was originally designed for interactive television, but it was too advanced for the digital cable television industry at the time. The language was initially called Oak after an oak tree that stood outside Gosling's office; it went by the name Green later, and was later renamed Java, from Java coffee, said to be consumed in large quantities by the language's creators. Gosling aimed to implement a virtual machine and a language that had a familiar C/C++ style of notation.
Sun Microsystems released the first public implementation as Java 1.0 in 1995. It promised "Write Once, Run Anywhere" (WORA), providing no-cost run-times on popular platforms. Fairly secure and featuring configurable security, it allowed network- and file-access restrictions. Major web browsers soon incorporated the ability to run Java applets within web pages, and Java quickly became popular. With the advent of Java 2 (released initially as J2SE 1.2 in December 1998–1999), new versions had multiple configurations built for different types of platforms. For example, J2EE targeted enterprise applications and the greatly stripped-down version J2ME for mobile applications (Mobile Java). J2SE designated the Standard Edition. In 2006, for marketing purposes, Sun renamed new J2 versions as Java EE, Java ME, and Java SE, respectively.
In 1997, Sun Microsystems approached the ISO/IEC JTC1 standards body and later the Ecma International to formalize Java, but it soon withdrew from the process. Java remains a de facto standard, controlled through the Java Community Process. At one time, Sun made most of its Java implementations available without charge, despite their proprietary software status. Sun generated revenue from Java through the selling of licenses for specialized products such as the Java Enterprise System. Sun distinguishes between its Software Development Kit (SDK) and Runtime Environment (JRE) (a subset of the SDK); the primary distinction involves the JRE's lack of the compiler, utility programs, and header files.
On November 13, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source software, (FOSS), under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). On May 8, 2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's core code available under free software/open-source distribution terms, aside from a small portion of code to which Sun did not hold the copyright.
Sun's vice-president Rich Green said that Sun's ideal role with regards to Java was as an "evangelist." Following Oracle Corporation's acquisition of Sun Microsystems in 2009–2010, Oracle has described itself as the "steward of Java technology with a relentless commitment to fostering a community of participation and transparency". Java software runs on laptops to data centers, game consoles to scientific supercomputers. There are 930 million Java Runtime Environment downloads each year and 3 billion mobile phones run Java. On April 2, 2010, James Gosling resigned from Oracle.
There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language:
1.It should be "simple, object-oriented and familiar"
2.It should be "robust and secure"
3.It should be "architecture-neutral and portable"
4.It should execute with "high performance"
5.It should be "interpreted, threaded, and dynamic"
[edit] Versions
One characteristic of Java is portability, which means that computer programs written in the Java language must run similarly on any hardware/operating-system platform. This is achieved by compiling the Java language code to an intermediate representation called Java bytecode, instead of directly to platform-specific machine code. Java bytecode instructions are analogous to machine code, but are intended to be interpreted by a virtual machine (VM) written specifically for the host hardware. End-users commonly use a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on their own machine for standalone Java applications, or in a Web browser for Java applets.
Standardized libraries provide a generic way to access host-specific features such as graphics, threading, and networking.
A major benefit of using bytecode is porting. However, the overhead of interpretation means that interpreted programs almost always run more slowly than programs compiled to native executables would. Just-in-Time compilers were introduced from an early stage that compile bytecodes to machine code during runtime.

Old boys accept Mourinho tactics through gritted teeth
Former Manchester United players have queued up to pass judgment on their old team under Jose Mourinho, whose negative game plan in a disappointing 0-0 draw at Liverpool on Monday night sparked a lively debate over the club's direction.
While Gary Neville predicted that United would not win the league this season, Ryan Giggs said he would accept the manner of Monday's performance in which they had just 35 per cent possession, the lowest in any of their games since statistics were first collected in 2003.
Although, bizarrely, Mourinho disputed that figure – insisting United had in fact enjoyed 42 per cent possession at Anfield – he also said it reflected his masterplan to control the game.
Mourinho may find it harder to explain away another new low, however, because United's tally of 14 points from eight games represents the Portuguese coach's worst start to a campaign in 15 years.
That total is also two points worse than United managed under Louis van Gaal at the same stage last year and is probably not what the club had in mind when they spent £145 million on his recommendations in the summer.
Another former United player, Ray Wilkins, said the pressure of expectation on Mourinho is relentless.
"He has to keep winning while changing the side," Wilkins told Sky Sports. "It is not always easy when you are trying to establish yourself at a huge club. But he will be delighted by that point."
Mourinho has not been helped by the limited impact made by record signing Paul Pogba, who had another quiet game at Anfield, and Henrikh Mikhitar-yan, who once again did not make the team as Mourinho opted for the strength and solidity of Marouane Fellaini.
Apart from one half against Leicester City, in which he scored his only goal for United, Pogba has struggled to justify his world-record fee, and Mourinho still seems unsure how to employ him.
On Monday it was another United midfielder, Ander Herrera, who won man of the match for a killjoy performance that saw him prevent a far more talented player, Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho, from exerting more of an influence.
That says much about how far United have fallen since the derring-do days of Alex Ferguson, whose attacking intent often led to late United winners in high-profile games.
For now, United's old guard in the media are sticking with the current manager as he seeks to shape his new team.
"There is no reason not to trust Jose Mourinho as a Manchester United fan," said Gary Neville.
"If he said we won't win the title this season, but next, which I think is what he said at Chelsea, I think most United fans would accept that... as long as he does win it next season."
But judgments are increasingly instant in football and, for United, the big games keep coming.
On Thursday they play Fenerbahce in the Europa League at Old Trafford, followed by a difficult Premier League trip to Mourinho's former side, Chelsea, on Sunday.
"He will get a rapturous round of applause," said Wilkins, in reference to the Chelsea fans.
■ The English FA has asked Jose Mourinho to explain comments he made about referee Anthony Taylor before Manchester United's goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield on Monday.
Mourinho said it would be "difficult" for Taylor, who is from the Greater Manchester area, to have "a very good performance" after being put in charge of the game between two fierce rivals.
FA rules prohibit managers and players from making comments about officials which could be viewed as intimidatory or influential before games.
Mourinho has until Friday to respond.

- Michel Glenisson (33), Creative Interior Design Manager at Hyundai Motor, belongs to the young team of designers responsible for the design of the New Generation i30.
He grew up and studied in Paris before moving to Germany in 2006 and has been working for the Hyundai Motor's European Design Center for nine years.
Michel, please tell us how you became a car designer.
For as long as I can remember I have been crazy about activities like drawing, sculpting and creating things. So after I finished high school, I started to study design in Paris. During that period I realized that cars were incredibly complex and challenging to draw, but that the effort involved was also extremely rewarding.
I mean, which other area of design gives you the opportunity to create an object of this size that will ultimately be produced in such huge numbers. I then specialized in interior car design, because I find it fascinating to bring together so many pieces in a single cohesive, practical and emotional "sculpture".
In your view, what are the highlights of the new interior design?
The dashboard is the focal point of the New Generation i30's interior. Therefore, we made it slightly negative on the top, creating a sleek body that emphasizes the width of the car. The instrument cluster and air vents are integrated seamlessly and the display unit floats proudly on top. These elements create a very spacious and sporty feel inside the New Generation i30 that is unique in this category.
Can you explain the approach used for the interior design of the New Generation i30?
We wanted to move away from the verticality that dominates the dashboard of the current i30 and to create a more horizontal layout for the new car. As form follows function, there were practical reasons for this. We wanted to further improve the i30's functionality, human interface and ergonomics. At the same time, our goal was to achieve a fresh, straightforward – yet iconic – look for the New Generation i30's interior.
What was your inspiration?
My inspiration was the wing of an aeroplane. The whole dashboard looks like a plane if you look at it from the front. I think you can see this in the dynamism and lightweight feel that the top of it expresses with this long piece connecting the air vents and the instrument cluster.
The New Generation i30 is the new people's car. How did you make sure that the interior has the right appeal and ergonomics for everybody out there?
For us it was very important that people who sit in the car for the first time feel immediately at home and can therefore handle all the features intuitively. So we spent a lot of time looking for the right place for each of the components – for the best possible ergonomics. That's why the display unit, for example, is positioned on the same level as the instrument cluster. All the air-conditioning controls are grouped in a separate unit underneath. The same applies to the door openers and window controls, which are also grouped. So yes, the New Generation i30 really is the new people's car, since we designed it to meet everyone's needs.

The staff were extremely friendly and professional. Check in and check out was efficient. An ideal business hotel.
Clean, quiet, cheap but smart, very good breakfast, very close to downtown, frendly staff, 32" lcd in the room
the room was very nice and a welcoming look after a long day at work
Very nice modern hotel with good breakfast, a bit out of town but only a 10 minute walk.
Modern, clean, comfortable, like urban style hotel, and big parking area though it is located inside the city. And amaging that there was great joice for breakfast! I like it. Unfortunately hotel restaurant for dinner was closed that day, but I would like to try next time if I have chance to come back. No complaints
very friendly staff and very personal service. Fantastic castle and atmosphere...
Incredible place and kind staff.
Everything about Chateau was excellent! It was quiet, relaxing and was in a great area to travel about the Czech countryside. Excellent room and breakfast! One of the best I have stayed at, and it just quite a place to stay!
The setting is romantic, quiet and comfortable. Felt like an authentic experie3nce in the country side. Not easy to find
The hotel is an old family run castle. The attention is excellent and there are a lot of opportunities to spend your time. Ideal to spend the weekend with a group of friends, and for celebrate events.
The atmosphere of the chateau is quite good, inside of the chateau everything is well organizaed, room is big and comfortable, breakfast and dinner are quite good as well, staffs are very nice! Location is a little bit difficult to find, when we checked out, they tried to charge me a little bit more not the price we booked through internet, I corrected them but do not feel very comfortable.
the friendly staff even though they did not speak much english they tried just as hard as I tried.
It was reasonably comfortable, but nothing outstanding. Our reason for choosing this hotel was its proximity to Prague following our arrival by air. It was en route to places further east. There was a lot of traffic noise from very early, (5 - 6am) in the morning.
Pekny, novy, cisty zrenovovany pokoj. Newly renowated clean rooms. Velky hluk na pokoji, je slyset hluk z hlavni silnice a ostatnich pokoju. Nois from the street and other rooms.
the staff was accommodating, even doing our laundry. the food was great as was the breakfast! staff very helpful with suggestions despite some language issues. great place to stay!
The restaurant downstair was good value and delicious ! Room is a bit dark, but its pretty common in Europe
Friendly staff, simple but clean rooms. Would have liked access to boiling water to make own cups of tea.
Good location (near to the old town), value for money, restaurant with Czech cuisine, Wi-Fi free of charge
Large comfortable room, friendly helpful staff, quiet location None
Very friendly staff and good restaurant inside.
We liked the hotel location.
The location of the hotel within the city. The staff was very friendly and helpful and our room was spacious and quite comfortable. Internet access worked well during our stay. We were able to walk comfortably to the shops and the attractions from the hotel. The food served in the hotel restaurant was above average and moderately priced. There were no tissues or toiletries, such as a nice sized bar of soap or shampoo. I'm glad I carry my own.
Close to downtown. Room clean and comfortable.
the service was excellent, especially the lady in the reception was so kind and helpful
Well situated, clean and good value for money. The buffet breakfast was good and the restaurant offered good local cuisine for good value. It's just a good basic hotel if you're travelling on a budget. Whilst our room and everything in the hotel was spotlessly clean, the carpet was old and stained making our room and the hotel look grungier than it really is.
Welcoming and good service. Quite difficult to find. An access map would have been useful.
This place is like the hidden pearl - a lovely and calm place with the best atmosphere you could imagen.
Only stayed one night but excellent room, convenient location and friendly staff. The bed was very uncomfortable - wooden slat base not secure
Smartly converted historic buildng in old town. Very convenient for all the sights. easy parking at rear. Good food and service in bar. Wonderful room with hostoric paited ceiling. Bit of traffic noise at front.
Very comfortable linen and good position. This is definitely not a four star hotel, if you are looking for four star comfort, select something else. The TV in my room was not working properly. The selection for breakfast is very poor.
The location is excellent, the value for this money worth, the comfort was fair, and the staff kind.
The location of the hotel is in the heart of Kutna Hora.
Desk staff very friendly and helpful. Parking close and free. Facility is OK, but a bit faded.
This hotel has the best location anyone can ask for, at the northern end of the main square and less than 50 metres from the tourist information. The room itself was a standard room, nothing and nothing less. There is no kettle in the room for making coffee/tea, but there was a refridgerator in my room although it was not in use when I arrived. The breakfast is good as you choose from a couple of dishes which is then prepared for you. There is a restaurant in the hotel, very good prices. There is no non-smoking area in the restaurant so itis difficult to feel what the food tastes and looks like because of the immense smoke from all the beer-drinkers who come there in the evenings.
Central location for sights in Kutna Hora Rather basic room and furniture
Very plain basic european hotel in the city.

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged the former chief risk officer at Deloitte LLP with violating auditor independence rules by accepting casino markers from a casino gaming company client.
An SEC order finds that James T. Adams, a CPA, repeatedly accepted tens of thousands of dollars in casino markers while serving as the advisory partner on Deloitte & Touche's audit of a casino gaming corporation. A marker is an instrument utilized by a casino customer to receive gaming chips drawn against the customer's line of credit at the casino, the SEC noted.

The NL East-leading Washington Nationals teed off on the Chicago Cubs' pitchers in their last game.
Ryan Zimmerman and Ian Desmond may have just been warming up.
Zimmerman and Desmond look to continue bashing scheduled starter Chris Volstad's pitching Wednesday night, while Washington's Gio Gonzalez tries to become the franchise's first 18-game winner in more than 25 years.
Zimmerman, Desmond, Tyler Moore and Jesus Flores all went deep, and Adam LaRoche homered twice in Tuesday's 11-5 victory. The Nationals (83-52), who hit their most home runs at home since moving to the nation's capital in 2005, won for the sixth time in seven games to open a season-high 7 1/2-game advantage atop the division.
Washington's offense has been overshadowed by a pitching staff that has an NL-best 3.28 ERA, but it's come on strong of late, plating at least eight runs in five of seven games.
"We're in a pretty good place offensively,'' Davey Johnson said. "I like the lineup we have."
LaRoche, who leads the Nationals with 27 home runs, has hit four in the last four games and is 10 for 20 with five homers and seven RBIs in helping Washington win four of five against the Cubs (51-84) this season.
Zimmerman, meanwhile, is batting .300 with two homers during a season-high nine-game hitting streak, and Desmond is batting .429 with seven RBIs in his last seven. Both are likely eagerly awaiting taking some hacks against Volstad (2-9, 6.06 ERA).
The two each have 25 career at-bats against Volstad. Desmond is batting .560 with a homer and three doubles, while Zimmerman is hitting .520 with two home runs and two doubles.
Jayson Werth is 13 for 26 with 10 runs during a six-game hitting streak, but probably not as excited about facing Volstad. He is hitting .091 with 12 strikeouts in 33 career at-bats, his lowest average against any pitcher he has faced at least 18 times.
Volstad allowed two runs and five hits in 5 2-3 innings in Friday's 6-4 win over San Francisco for his second consecutive victory after a 24-start winless streak. The right-hander has not won three consecutive starts since his final three outings of 2010.
While Volstad, who was 0-2 with a 3.30 ERA in five starts against Washington last year with Florida, is just starting to pick up victories, Gonzalez (17-7, 3.10) is tied with three others for the major league lead.
Gonzalez threw a five-hitter while striking out eight in Friday's 10-0 win over St. Louis for his first career shutout. He established a new career high for wins, surpassing last season's total with Oakland, and became the first Nationals pitcher to reach 17 victories. The franchise's last player to win 18 was Bryn Smith for the 1985 Montreal Expos.
The righty, who is 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA in his last five starts, made his season debut against Chicago, and wasn't particularly sharp, allowing four runs, seven hits and three walks in 3 2-3 innings in a game the Nationals won 7-4.
Alfonso Soriano, who is 2 for 3 with a double lifetime against Gonzalez, has been one of the few bright spots lately for the Cubs, losers of four straight overall and 15 of 16 away from Chicago.
Soriano homered and tripled Tuesday and is batting .333 with three home runs and 10 RBIs in his last six games.
"We have to try to come back one day at a time," he said. "We have to come back with more energy and try to get the win (Wednesday)."

The Mensheviks was a political group in Russia which formed out of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party.
The Mensheviks split from the Bolsheviks in 1903 was on the issue of how to undermine the Tsarist regime best. The Mensheviks wanted to reform the system while the Bolsheviks wanted to complete overthrow the system which they succeeded in doing in the Russian October Revolution of 1917.
Menshevik and Bolshevik are simply derived from Russian words for minority and majority. Yup the Bolsheviks went in 14 years from a splinter group of an illegal opposition party to running the whole shebang.
Leon Trotsky was originally a Menshevik after the split, but later became a "non-factional socialist", finally joining Lenin and the Bolsheviks at some point before 1917.

Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth
a game by Asmik
Platform: NES
In Wurm from Asmik, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are causing the Earth to shake, rattle, and roll! As Moby, captain of the multi-configuration vehicle Wurm, you lead an expedition force deep into the bowels of the planet.
In between stages (20 total divided into five Acts), the story unfolds in neat cinema sequences. You'll learn that righteous underworld bad guys have plans to conquer the surface. Unfortunately, the same story scenes replay each time, only with different dialogue lines.
Every Which Way You Wurm
Wurm turns towards originality. Instead of delivering straightforward shoot-out action, it offers several fast-paced, albeit familiar, play modes.
Horizontal and vertical game modes are like the scrolling shooter Life Force with alternating side view and overhead perspectives. But as an added bonus you can smoothly switch among a hovercraft, a super jetfighter, and a tank at will. There's also a "Shooting Adventure", that's similar to Rolling Thunder: Moby becomes a one-man army. Finally, Cockpit Shooting plays close to Golgo 13's first person, 3-D target match. In all you'll face six boss monsters and 26 other beasts.
- Never stay in one position or enemies will charge forward indefinitely.
- Against the final guardian of Act Five, try the following crystal pattern: green, red, yellow, blue.
Wurmed Out
Wurm gives you your money's worth, but don't expect any change. Its sights and sounds are average, and given passwords and unlimited continues, ditto for the challenge. The most positive trait is the ease of interaction between player and space ship. Wurm certainly isn't the hottest NES blaster around, but it's the best new thumb-burner to show up in a while.
During Cockpit Shooting make sure you talk to everyone at least twice to maximize your Possibility Factor.

WURM is the latest action-adventure title that combines multiple styles of play with a storyline filled with detailed cinema intermissions.
You assume the three tiered role as the leader of a group of explorers who take on a mission that leads into a maze of underground caverns. As your mission progresses deeper into the sub-terrainian, you come up against the nastiest of enemies while collecting a myriad of interesting artifacts. These items play an intregal role in the mystery that serves as the central theme of the game.
With your friends captured, you must proceed into the underground to locate their position as well as eliminate the forces that stand in your way. Wurm uses many different types of game play that include action sequences where you pilot a drill, take off on foot with a hand weapons and a mean kick, as well as a first-person dual against the enemy in a side-scrolling environment!
It's 1999 and strange phenomena have been occurring around the globe. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are causing havoc. The ecological balance of the planet is in jeopardy! Hop in your special earth drilling vehicle to solve the problem!
In 1991 Asmik released this video game for the NES.
The plot deals with the violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which make the government to dispatch explorers in VZR's - powerful digging machines, created by Vector Zilus Research group, equipped with the latest weapons technologies. It can transform itself from a drill tank to a hovercraft or else to a super jet fighter. The player takes on the role of Moby, one of the VZR's crew leaders. Moby and her friends discover in the underground the two races of subterranean humans that have been waging a war. Over the game, more characters join the crew.
Wurm: Journey To The Center Of The Earth has got various styles of play, such as side-scrolling travel stages in the VZR, overhead shooting levels, levels where Moby has to leave the vehicle to explore underground ruins, and also first-person shooting levels with boss monsters. There are 26 levels of action to go through in the game.
