Warsaw ( ; see also other names), is the capital and largest city of Poland. It is located on the Vistula River, in east-central Poland, roughly from the Baltic Sea and from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population is estimated at 1.729 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 2.666 million residents, which makes Warsaw the 9th most populous capital city in the European Union.[1][2] The area of the city covers , while the city's agglomeration covers .[3]
In 2012 Warsaw was ranked as the 32nd most liveable city in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit. It was also ranked as one of the most liveable cities in Central and Eastern Europe. Today Warsaw is considered an Alpha– global city, a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural, political and economic hub.[4][5][6] Warsaw's economy, by a wide variety of industries, is characterised by FMCG manufacturing, metal processing, steel and electronic manufacturing and food processing. The city is a significant centre of research and development, BPO, ITO, as well as Polish media industry. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is one of the largest and most important in Central Europe. Frontex, the European Union agency for external border security, is headquartered in Warsaw. A unique feature of Warsaw is its number of skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in the city center which form the skyline. Warsaw is one of only a few cities in the European Union that have such a skyline, together with Frankfurt, London and Paris.
The first historical reference to Warsaw dates back to the year 1313, when initially Kraków served as the Polish capital city. Due to its central location between the Commonwealth's capitals of Kraków and Vilnius, Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth and the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Kraków to Warsaw in 1596.[7] After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Warsaw was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars, the city became the official capital of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, a puppet state of the First French Empire created by Napoleon Bonaparte. With accordance to the decision of the Congress of Vienna, Warsaw in 1815 was annexed by the Russian Empire and became part of the "Congress Kingdom". Only in 1918 it regained independence from the foreign rule and emerged as a new capital of the independent Republic of Poland. Along with the German invasion in 1939, the massacre of the Jewish population and deportations to concentration camps led to the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto in 1943 and to a major and devastating Warsaw Uprising between August and October 1944. For this Warsaw gained the title of the "phoenix city" because it has survived so many wars, conflicts and invasions throughout its long history. Most notably, the city had to be painstakingly rebuilt after the extensive damage it suffered in World War II, during which 85% of its buildings were destroyed.[8][9] On 9 November 1940 the city was awarded Poland's highest military decoration for heroism, the Virtuti Militari, during the Siege of Warsaw (1939).[10][11]
The city is the seat of a Roman Catholic archdiocese (left bank) and diocese (right bank of the Vistula), and possesses various universities, most notably the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Warsaw University, an opera house, theatres, museums, libraries and monuments. The historic city centre of Warsaw with its picturesque Old Town in 1980 was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other main architectural attractions include the Castle Square with the Royal Castle and the iconic King Sigismund's Column, St. John's Cathedral, Market Square, palaces, churches and mansions all displaying a richness of colour and architectural detail. Buildings are representatives of nearly every European architectural style and historical period. Warsaw has wonderful examples of architecture from the gothic, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical periods and around a quarter of the city is filled with grand parks and royal gardens.
Early history
The first fortified settlements on the site of today's Warsaw were Bródno (9th/10th century) and Jazdów (12th/13th century).[7] After Jazdów was raided, a new similar settlement was established on the site of a small fishing village called Warszowa. The Płock prince Bolesław II of Masovia, established this settlement, the modern Warsaw, about 1300. In the beginning of the 14th century it became one of the seats of the Dukes of Masovia, becoming the capital of Masovia in 1413.[7] 14th-century Warsaw's economy rested on crafts and trade. Upon the extinction of the local ducal line, the duchy was reincorporated into the Polish Crown in 1526.[7]
16th to 18th centuries
In 1529, Warsaw for the first time became the seat of the General Sejm, permanent from 1569.[7] In 1573 the city gave its name to the Warsaw Confederation, formally establishing religious freedom in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Due to its central location between the Commonwealth's capitals of Kraków and Vilnius, Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth and the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Kraków to Warsaw in 1596.[7] In the following years the town expanded towards the suburbs. Several private independent districts were established, the property of aristocrats and the gentry, which were ruled by their own laws. Three times between 1655–1658 the city was under siege and three times it was taken and pillaged by the Swedish, Brandenburgian and Transylvanian forces.[7][12]
Stanisław II Augustus, who remodelled the interior of the Royal Castle, also made Warsaw a centre of culture and the arts.[14][15] This earned Warsaw the name of the Paris of the east.[16]
19th and 20th centuries
Warsaw remained the capital of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth until 1796, when it was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia to become the capital of the province of South Prussia. Liberated by Napoleon's army in 1806, Warsaw was made the capital of the newly created Duchy of Warsaw.[7] Following the Congress of Vienna of 1815, Warsaw became the centre of the Congress Poland, a constitutional monarchy under a personal union with Imperial Russia.[7] The Royal University of Warsaw was established in 1816.
Following the repeated violations of the Polish constitution by the Russians, the 1830 November Uprising broke out. However, the Polish-Russian war of 1831 ended in the uprising's defeat and in the curtailment of the Kingdom's autonomy.[7] On 27 February 1861 a Warsaw crowd protesting against the Russian rule over Poland was fired upon by the Russian troops.[17][18] Five people were killed. The Underground Polish National Government resided in Warsaw during January Uprising in 1863–64.[18]
Warsaw flourished in the late 19th century under Mayor Sokrates Starynkiewicz (1875–92), a Russian-born general appointed by Tsar Alexander III. Under Starynkiewicz Warsaw saw its first water and sewer systems designed and built by the English engineer William Lindley and his son, William Heerlein Lindley, as well as the expansion and modernisation of trams, street lighting and gas works.[7]
The Russian Empire Census of 1897 recorded 626,000 people living in Warsaw, making it the third-largest city of the Empire after St. Petersburg and Moscow.
Capital of Second Polish Republic: 1918–39
Warsaw was occupied by Germany from 4 August 1915 until November 1918. The Allied Armistice terms required in Article 12 that Germany withdraw from areas controlled by Russia in 1914, which included Warsaw.[19] Germany did so, and underground leader Pilsudski returned to Warsaw on 11 November and set up what became the Second Polish Republic, with Warsaw the capital. In the course of the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920, the huge Battle of Warsaw was fought on the eastern outskirts of the city in which the capital was successfully defended and the Red Army defeated. Poland stopped by itself the full brunt of the Red Army and defeated an idea of the "export of the revolution".[20]
Second World War
After the German Invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 began the Second World War, central Poland, including Warsaw, came under the rule of the General Government, a German Nazi colonial administration. All higher education institutions were immediately closed and Warsaw's entire Jewish populationseveral hundred thousand, some 30% of the cityherded into the Warsaw Ghetto.[21] The city would become the centre of urban resistance to Nazi rule in occupied Europe.[22] When the order came to annihilate the ghetto as part of Hitler's "Final Solution" on 19 April 1943, Jewish fighters launched the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.[23] Despite being heavily outgunned and outnumbered, the Ghetto held out for almost a month.[23] When the fighting ended, almost all survivors were massacred, with only a few managing to escape or hide.[23][24]
The Germans then razed Warsaw to the ground. Hitler, ignoring the agreed terms of the capitulation, ordered the entire city to be razed to the ground and the library and museum collections taken to Germany or burned.[25] Monuments and government buildings were blown up by special German troops known as Verbrennungs- und Vernichtungskommando ("Burning and Destruction Detachments").[25] About 85% of the city had been destroyed, including the historic Old Town and the Royal Castle.[27]
On 17 January 1945 – after the beginning of the Vistula–Oder Offensive of the Red Army – Soviet troops entered the ruins of Warsaw, and liberated Warsaw's suburbs from German occupation.[28] The city was swiftly taken by the Soviet Army, which rapidly advanced towards Łódź, as German forces regrouped at a more westward position.
Recent times
In 1945, after the bombing, the revolts, the fighting, and the demolition had ended, most of Warsaw lay in ruins.
After the war, under a Communist regime set up by the conquering Soviets, the "Bricks for Warsaw" campaign was initiated, and large prefabricated housing projects were erected in Warsaw to address the housing shortage, along with other typical buildings of an Eastern Bloc city, such as the Palace of Culture and Science, a gift from the Soviet Union. The city resumed its role as the capital of Poland and the country's centre of political and economic life. Many of the historic streets, buildings, and churches were restored to their original form. In 1980, Warsaw's historic Old Town was inscribed onto UNESCO's World Heritage list.[29]
John Paul II's visits to his native country in 1979 and 1983 brought support to the budding solidarity movement and encouraged the growing anti-communist fervor there.[30] In 1979, less than a year after becoming pope, John Paul celebrated Mass in Victory Square in Warsaw and ended his sermon with a call to "renew the face" of Poland: Let Thy Spirit descend! Let Thy Spirit descend and renew the face of the land! This land![30] These words were very meaningful for the Polish citizens who understood them as the incentive for the democratic changes.[30]
In 1995, the Warsaw Metro opened with a single line. 20 years later, in January 2015, a second line has managed to have been built and is due to open. With the entry of Poland into the European Union in 2004, Warsaw is currently experiencing the largest economic boom of its history.[31] The opening fixture of UEFA Euro 2012 took place in Warsaw, a game in which the co-hosts Poland, drew 1-1 with Greece.[32]

If you find yourself frequently dealing with the itching and burning symtpoms of dry eye, you're certainly not alone. But allergies, pollution, and an overheated office are not the only causes of red, burning eyes: your age may be the real culprit. After age 40, women see a significant reduction in tear production along with eye-drying hormonal changes, the two major reasons why most women over 40 experience dry eyes. And if you wear contacts, expect the itch and irritation to start even sooner.
With a few simple lifestyle tweaks and a little help from artificial tears, you can get quick relief from aging's dry eye symptoms.
You may unsubscribe at any time.
Use tears liberally
Use artificial tears as often as you like; doctors say that most people underuse artificial tears. "You can use them as often as needed. From once or twice a day to every 20 minutes," says Dr. Monica. These over-the-counter drops will cleanse your eyes and restore the right kind of tears.
MORE: 14 Health Mistakes Smart Women Make
Go preservative-free
If you wear contacts or use artificial tears more than once or twice a day, choose a preservative-free brand. Otherwise, your eyes may sting or your contacts may react adversely to the preservatives, says Dr. Monica.
Avoid medicated eyedrops
Drops such as Murine or Visine are decongestants and shrink the eye's blood vessels, treating redness, not dryness, says Silvia Orengo-Nania, MD, assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Moisten before blow-drying
To keep from drying your eyes along with your tresses, use artificial tears before and after you blow-dry, says Dr. Monica. For extra measure, moisten your eyes halfway through too.
Humidify your office
If you suspect that a bone-dry work space is contributing to your problem, put a humidifier near your desk, or if possible, open a window, says Dr. Sumers.
Skip the alcohol
Drinking alcohol can leave your mouth parched. It can dry out your eyes too. If you go out for a social drink, keeping alcohol to a minimum is kinder to your eyes, says Dr. Monica.
MORE: Sneaky Signs You Drink Too Much
Stay smoke-free
Smoking is notorious for causing dry eyes, says Dr. Monica. If you smoke, or if you live with someone who does, using artificial tears will keep your eyes moistened. Quitting, of course, solves the underlying problem.
Wear lenses part-time
To ease the strain of dry eyes, "remove your lenses at the end of the workday, just like you kick off your shoes," says Dr. Monica. If you have dry eyes, this might be a good idea whether you have daily-wear or extended-wear lenses.
Pretreat at bedtime
If you wake up with scratchy, burning eyes, use a tear ointment before you go to bed, says Dr. Monica. It's thicker than artificial tears and available over-the-counter at your drugstore. It will help keep your eyes lubricated, but it's only for overnight use, because it blurs your vision.Copyright © 2017 Rodale Inc.

Is Work Killing You?
Written by Dr. David Posen
- 360 Pages
- 9781770892767
- SELF-HELP / Stress Management
Publication Date February 02, 2013
From the bestselling author of The Little Book of Stress Relief comes the definitive guide to treating — and eliminating — excessive stress in the workplace. Dr. David Posen, a popular speaker and a leading expert on stress mastery, identifies the three biggest problems that contribute to burnout and low productivity: Volume, Velocity, and Abuse. He shares revealing anecdotes and offers clear descriptions of the biology of stress to illustrate how downsizing, economic uncertainty, and technology have made the workplace more toxic than ever. Most importantly, he offers practical advice and easy techniques for managing the harmful symptoms and side effects of stress.
Witty, engaging, and accessible, Is Work Killing You? touches on everything from meetings to tweeting, from fake work to face time, from deadlines to dead tired, and more. With this book, Dr. Posen gives us the tools to stop harming our most valuable resource — ourselves.
Dr. David Posen
"...solid advice for anyone who wants to transform their current workplace, or is looking for new employment." Winnipeg Free Press
"Posen makes a sound, compelling case for active stress reduction at work." Publishers Weekly
"As I was reading Is Work Killing You?, there was one question that kept popping into mind: why isn't this book taught in school? You'll ask yourself that, too, because Posen makes many good points for employees and business owners alike...Posen offers pages and pages of ideas meant to make the business world better, do-able from dual sides of the paycheck." The Augusta Chronicle
"You'll ask yourself that, too, as you devour this common-sense, how-to, rant-slash-advice book because Posen makes many good points for employees and business owners alike. In making those arguments, he underscores his research by sharing dozens of anecdotes from his patients and others, and some of them are jaw-droppingly uncomfortable to read. Posen doesn't leave us hanging on those squirmy details for long, though; he offers pages and pages of ideas meant to make the business world better, doable from dual sides of the paycheck. This is one of those books that could potentially benefit anyone who works for a living, and I'm excited to finally see this topic tackled." Inside Business

EPA slaps ag companies with fines in AZ, CAPosted: Updated:
A settlement has been reached between the EPA and two companies selling agricultural chemicals in Arizona and California.
The violations stem from improper storage and containment of federally regulated pesticides.
San Francisco-based agricultural products company Wilbur-Ellis will pay $62,080 in civil penalties and Collierville, TN-based agricultural products company Helena Chemical will pay $12,800 in civil penalties.
The EPA said both companies had multiple violations under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, which regulates the distribution, sale and use of pesticides in the U.S.
The violations were found during April 2011, January 2012 and January 2013 inspections conducted by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation and the Arizona Department of Agriculture, and have since been corrected.
Two Wilbur-Ellis facilities in California and one in Buckeye had unsealed cracks in the floors and/or walls of the facilities' pesticide containment areas. The Glenn facility was found to have an undersized containment area.
The company's Glenn and Hughson facilities were found to have improper safeguards for pesticide equipment, such as hoses and valves, which increases the risk of a pesticide release to the environment.
The Hughson facility was improperly using an external site gauge to monitor levels of liquid pesticide in a storage tank, a violation that increases the risk of a pesticide release. Wilbur-Ellis was also cited for inadequate tank labeling, recordkeeping, and inspection documentation.
Helena Chemical's Hanford, CA, pesticide repackaging facility was found to have an inadequate containment area for potential pesticide spills that may occur during offloading of pesticides from trucks, and inadequate safeguards for pesticide equipment, which increase the risk of a pesticide release to the environment.

An arson fire early Tuesday caused an estimated $50,000 damage to the Gonzales High School gymnasium, police said.
A patrol officer smelled smoke just before 3 a.m. near the high school and found smoke coming from the gym roof, police said.
Firefighters from Gonzales, Salinas, Soledad, Monterey Regional and the Correctional Training Facility responded and brought the fire under control within 30 minutes.
"They did a really good job," Police Chief Paul Miller said. "Fortunately it didn't take off."
He said the fire damaged the floor, a wall and part of the ceiling in a locker room. Acting Gonzales Fire Chief Jason Muscio estimated the damage totaled about $50,000.
Police said the case is under investigation, but evidence at the scene indicates the fire was set in the gym.
Miller said a door was found propped open, but he didn't know if that was where whoever set the blaze got inside.
The gym remained closed early Tuesday, and the state fire marshal's office needed to inspect the structure because it is a school facility, Miller said.
"We're hoping to open it up (Tuesday afternoon) so the school people can start some cleanup," he said.

Arsenio Hall plots another TV return — any takers?
TheWrap.com — Is there a chance Arsenio Hall could pull off a third return to television? His manager, John Ferriter, tells TheWrap a three-peat is possible.
"There's been an outpouring of support," Ferriter says. "We started getting calls over the weekend."
CBS Television Distribution announced it was pulling the plug on "The Arsenio Hall Show" Friday. Ferriter said other outlets didn't waste any time reaching out and Hall's camp is already in "early talks" to reboot the series.
Unfortunately, TheWrap couldn't find anyone willing to cop to those early talks.
An individual close to the production told TheWrap that E!, OWN and BET were among the media companies courting Hall. But when contacted by TheWrap, two outlets denied that they've reached out to the comedian and his reps.
An E! representative told TheWrap "no," when asked if the network was interested in working with the comedian. Another individual inside the company said bluntly that Hall is "too old" for E!'s demographic.
A representative for OWN also insisted that the network hadn't reached out to Hall's representatives and OWN has no interest in bringing him to their channel.
BET representatives didn't immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment.
Additionally, individuals at CTD close to the production insist that the company hasn't received any interest from other companies to continue "The Arsenio Hall Show" or to buy the rights to the format.
CTD produced "The Arsenio Hall Show" with Tribune Broadcasting and Octagon Entertainment, in which Ferriter is a managing director.
CBS originally renewed the syndicated series for a second season in February with a flashy announcement on the show made by special guest Jay Leno. But following the renewal, the series was downgraded to different timeslots in some markets with more to follow. In New York City, for example, WPIX moved the talk show back a half hour to 11:30 p.m., pushing it for an episode of "Seinfeld."
CBS said in a statement that the show, which premiered in September, failed to take off.
The show actually premiered with some promise earning a 1.9 in households and 1.0 in the advertiser-coveted Adults 18-49 demographic. But, it couldn't hold on to that audience and over the season it whittled down to a 0.7 rating in households and a 0.3 in the 18-49 demo.
"Unfortunately, 'The Arsenio Hall Show' will not return for a second season; while there are many loyal fans of the show, the series did not grow its audience enough to continue," the spokesperson said. "Arsenio is a tremendous talent and we'd like to thank him for all the hard work and energy he put into the show. We'd also like to thank Tribune and all our station group partners for their support of the show."
The syndicated show aired on Tribune's local television stations, including KTLA in Los Angeles. Ferriter, who is managing director of Octagon, insisted CTD and Tribune were great partners.
"I totally understand the decision that was made, but one of the station groups had concerns," he said.
A CTD insider told TheWrap that when it renewed "Arsenio Hall" for a second season, it was already low-rated. So when the threats started coming in from different stations to move the show to a later timeslot where there would be less viewers, CTD realized that it wouldn't be able to reach the viewership it needed to continue producing the show.
The insider said CBS has no interest in continuing with "The Arsenio Hall Show" at this point.
The show was on hiatus last week when CBS decided it wouldn't be coming back. Ferriter said his main concern was to let the staff know that their run was over.
Hall was naturally disappointed with the cancellation and referred to the timing on Twitter, saying it was an "emotional day" at his office.
A very emotional day at my office. Most of my team went on vacation after celebrating our 2nd year pick up … and returned to cancellation.

Jordan Dibb's March to Miami hits halfway
May 15 marked my halfway point of the walk. It suddenly hit me that it really is just flying by and its amazing how far a person can come by just getting up and walking every day. It also made me realize I'm running out of time to fundraise for my goal of raising $100,000 for Action Against Hunger's Haiti Relief fund by the time I reach Miami on July 4. So far we've raised a little over $10,000 through Facebook and the web site, which is simply brilliant! But we have a long way to go to reach the $100,000 mark. I know my family and friends in Farmington are working on getting up a fund raiser walk for my cause sometime in June, so be looking for more info on that in the upcoming weeks.
The trip has been going great so far and I've meet hundreds of amazing people along the way. I'm continually blown away by the scenery I'm seeing as I walk through Kentucky and Tennessee and am excited to reach the peak of a rather high hill (they call it a mountain here) tomorrow night when I walk into Monteagle, Tenn. I hear the view is amazing.
I've learned people in the south are very generous and kind. Many families here have been affected by the massive flooding in the past few weeks and its been hard to see the destruction its left behind. A few people have been wondering how I can ask for money for Haiti when there is so much to fix in our backyards, so I'm doing my best to help as much as I can along the way locally as I pass through towns. Last week I helped the Murfreesboro Keller Williams Realty team fix up a local orphanage.
I struggled with continuing my journey and goal for Haiti when I received the criticism, but then last week I had a new surge of strength. I got to Skype with a friend I had met on my walk who is actually in Haiti right now. She got to use the computer with Internet (a very rare thing in Haiti) for a few minutes and we Skyped. She had a small Haitian girl with her as we talked and the young girl seemed to be eating a chocolate cookie. When I asked about the cookie, my friend informed me that it was not chocolate flavored, but was made up of a pinch of ground beans and flour, but the main ingredient was dirt. DIRT! That's when I really realized ... hey ... say what you want about the Haitian government and how the country is being run. I agree there is a lot wrong there. But when you look at this young girl, and the hundreds of thousands of other children who have no control of why they are there and have no control in making a difference and who have to resort to eating dirt cookies -- when I have the power to make a difference in their lives by walking, why wouldn't I? Doing good for others has no boundaries or borders..
I'm more determined than ever and am excited to reach my goal as I walk into Miami. We're at the point where we only need 1,800 people to donate $50. Or even just 900 people to donate $100! Its all about spreading the news, and more importantly, spreading the love. What simple pleasure or snack could you give up in your life for a few weeks to give a child in Haiti some fresh food and water? And maybe, a chance to eat a real chocolate chip cookie.

The cast members of the television show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia are writing a self-help book.
The 7 Secrets of Awakening the Highly Effective FourHour Giant, Today is slated for publication in January 2015, but is currently available for preorder from HarperCollins' new Dey Street Books imprint. Check it out:
The Gang may have finally found their golden ticket. Left alone to close down Paddy's Pub one night, Charlie Kelly inadvertently scored himself, and his friends, the opportunity of a lifetime—a book deal with a real publishing company, real advance money, and a real(ly confused) editor. While his actual ability to read and write remains unclear, Charlie sealed the deal with some off-the-cuff commentary on bird law and the nuances of killing rats (and maybe with the help of some glue fumes in the basement with an unstable editor on a bender).

Dallas Mavericks improving defensively, but Rick Carlisle not getting too carried away
LOS ANGELES — Over their last 10 games before Wednesday's visit to the LA Clippers, the Mavericks had held opponents to 96.4 points per game.
That might not get any heartbeats racing in Indiana, where defense is always priority No. 1. But for the Mavericks, that represents huge improvement over a fairly significant stretch of time.
Consider that they have allowed 101.2 points per game for the season, and it's fair to say that they have shown a radical uptick in their defense over the last three weeks.
So have they really gotten better? Or is this just a stretch of the schedule where they are holding a few teams down to help skew the averages?
"The numbers, I believe, say that we are [improving]," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "The game against these guys [the Clippers in Dallas] was hopefully more of an aberration, giving up 119. You can't do that. You won't beat anybody.
"But in between, we've had games where we've held teams to the 80s and 90s."
And it's not surprising the Mavericks went 7-3 in that stretch.
Carlisle said he realizes the Mavericks can't ever get too satisfied with a stretch of games in which their defensive numbers are solid. A clunker may be just around the corner, and he knows that.
"I don't get too carried away with the last few games," he said. "We haven't been playing a lot of high-tempo, high-scoring teams.
"We're not a great defensive team unless we do it collectively, because we don't have a lot of great individual defenders. We just know that. We've got to do it with basketball IQ, positioning, help and togetherness. When we do that, we're effective. When we don't, we struggle."

New Releases
Tu seras mon fils
102 mins
in French with English subtitles
France | 2010 | col | dir. Gilles Legrand, with Niels Arestrup, Lorànt Deutsch, Patrick Chesnais | UK premiere
An unexpected hit of the harvest season in France, Gilles Legrand has produced a vintage and full-bodied drama with a lingering after-taste. Paul de Marseul (Niels Arestrup, A Prophet) is a distinguished vintner in the St-Emilion region. He's deeply attached to his vineyard and, now that he is ageing, is obsessed with passing it all down to posterity. Normally that should be his son, Martin (Lorànt Deutsch). The problem is that Paul has no confidence in Martin; he seems barely able to stand him at all…
A free glass of Closerie de Fourtet wine (the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru vineyard featured in the film) will be offered with every ticket during the opening weekend, courtesy of Clos Fourtet (while stocks last)
The event has now finished

Just curious...what exactly do you mean by "More active cruiseline assistance during any medical crises for needed and necessary Humanitarian Aid."?
When a ship has thousands of passengers, the odds that someone will need significant medical assistance are actually pretty good. Are you referring to the ship waiting a few extra days in port for someone to get out of the hospital? Or perhaps paying for the medical care of the displaced passenger? I really think you should clarify what you meant here.
The cruise lines responsibility should include calling for emergency medical care when needed and notifying an emergency contact and local authorities when a passenger doesn't return to the ship while in port. What is the cruise line to do if they are in a port that lacks adequate hospital facilities? The prudent thing to do is to transport the patient to the nearest facility to be evaluated, at which time a decision can be made as to the best course of action. The spouse was complaining that Royal Caribbean expected her to file a claim before authorizing to pay to transport her husband to the hospital in Instanbul...So what? That is standard practice here in the U.S. as well. You usually have to get permission from your insurance company to be transferred.
So, I am seriously interested in what should have been done differently in this case. Remember, there are two sides to this story. Royal Caribbean says that they did help after the ship left port, so please clarify for us where they went wrong.
Take care!

Three days later, Mary was arrested for DUI after police spotted her running over a curb near her home. Mary had a .11 blood alcohol level. She was fined $500 and had her license suspended for 90 days.
In August 2010, Mary was charged with driving under the influence of drugs after speeding down the Taconic State Parkway. She was reportedly under the influence of prescription medication.
Police reports confirm that officers Mary's body was found in an outbuilding on the property of their home.
Mary's family released a statement following the news of her death.
"We deeply regret the death of our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her. Our heart goes out to her children who she loved without reservation," the statement read.
Mary was Robert's second wife. The couple has four children together.
Kennedy Jr. is the son of former Sen. Robert Kennedy and the nephew of President John F. Kennedy.

"Except for the bleached crack at the top, the moves are fun."
I have to completely disagree. Pitch 1 = fun moves off start low angle ly'backing. Then interesting climbing with a *slight route finding challenge for the remainder of the pitch. Pitch 2= 4th class (almost 3rd) scramblin up to a roof and awesome belay ledge. Pitch 3 climbs through the roof on the best rock of the route (really fun here) and turns onto a slab featuring a huge low-angle o/w crack. The roof and the entire crack are the best climbing on the route. I would love to find a long low angle o/w like that!
To avoid extra spicyness on pitch 1, don't climb direct through the flared chimney. Bad rock, bad pro. A fall could be really bad in or above there.

From the "modern belay/rap station" one can climb to the top in one pitch with a 70, though it will be a rope stretcher.
Another option is instead of belaying at the bolts, climb maybe 30 feet higher up grassy 3/4th class to a crack where you can build a gear anchor. I would recommend this way. It also might be possible to top out with a 60 if you belay here.
Oh and the descent is very easy going to the left (looking towards the road) Follow a trail until it starts going down it will be obvious.
For the OW the average leader will want at least 2 larger pieces such as a 4 or 5 Camalot.

This is a good 5.6 multi pitch . It will be pretty challenging to the new 5.6 trad leader, a step up from R&D.
When considering the chimney or not you may want to know that the right side variation is a steep move on finger locks ( 5.7)
The chimney protects fine if you find the spots and use long slings.
2nd pitch is low 5th class to a large flat ledge with good pro .
3rd pitch: right leaning 1/2-3/4" cracks, layback up and around a corner on hand size crack, wander up to the OW, 1 #5 Camalot can be moved up with you.
A good 5.6 continuation is the Stump route on Middle 8 mile.

Climbed it 4/24 after getting a late start. Found only one other group on it but they were definitely after it as a beginning trad lead climb.
Solid rock but if you're just starting to lead you might want to watch after you come around the corner on the first pitch. The crack that follows the wall just about 25 or so feet off the deck was a bit strenuous for a 5.6. Looked like the other guys went for the less-protectable roof. Follow the wall on the right to the first anchor. Not really possible to hear your follow on many of these pitches so work out some rope signals or bring walkies.
Definite scramble getting up the second pitch with one or two moves while you're coming right around the roof to the dead tree just on the other side. Gear anchor here and I'd suggest not using that dead tree.
Awesome offwidth climbing on that last pitch. You'd have a hard time falling out of it but you might want a bigger cam (camalot #3 or 4). Belay off the living tree up top.
Scrambled down a sandy gully up and to the left and hiked up the seemingly trail-less slope to start the Stump route. Seems similar quality and rating.
By Jacob Wolniewicz

I've climbed this several times now. With about a single rack of cams and nuts you'll be fine. Having a #5 for the off width at the top will help a lot, I'd also bring a #4 for the beginning of the crack if you're a new trad climber and would benefit from more security.
On the first pitch when you round a corner after the first 10 feet you'll see two paths: to the left is a large flake (chimney if you're really small) that you can easily walk up the slab while using it to hold yourself; halfway up it is a sliver in the rock that takes a micro cam (it would take my 0 or 00 metolius easily, maybe larger too). To the right you'll see a more protectable route but definitely has some 5.7 finger locking moves and is harder. Once at the top you'll see bolts you can belay from.
Second pitch is straight forward, go straight up towards the dead tree way above till you're at a roof (kind of 3rd-early fifth class scramble). Traditionally you'd belay here with a gear anchor for the beginning of the third pitch, but I prefer having the climber do the roof moves and belay from a gear anchor near the dead tree (definitely don't use it in the anchor). This way the person leading the second pitch still has some real climbing involved. :)
Third pitch is straight forward, go up the off width to the large live tree above that names the route. If you have a four I'd place it at the base of the crack to give some security, then use the five during the crack as you shimmy it up with you. The four definitely will hardly fit in the crack above and you'd need a #5. Trick to the crack is to keep you're feet on the outside lip of it and use the slab for holds. The crack easily eats legs.
Descent is to skiers left (to the right as you top the off width crack). Descend till you find yourself at trails to go to the road. At some point a trail will go right which returns you to the base of the route, but the descent is large enough that I recommend not leaving stuff at the base.
Overall I rate this route as one of my favorite easier multi pitch trad routes in the area, and is also a great way to get to Stump route which is of similar difficulty.

How to make the perfect salade lyonnaise
Metro tests out several ways to create the French classic salade lyonnaise, looking at the importance of the eggs, dressing and croutons used.
With its soft broken yolk, crispy lardons and caustic green leaves, salade lyonnaise has to be the easiest French classic to make. You'd typically find it in a 'bouchon' in Lyon, a rustic tavern specialising in traditional Lyonnaise food (sausages, porky offal bits and duck, among other meaty morsels).
Max Renzland, executive chef at east London's Provender and a leading voice in French 'bourgeois' cooking, explains on http://www.caterersearch.com that salade lyonnaise has always been a popular working-class meal served in bistros. 'Recipes vary but they usually include charcuterie and sometimes smoked herrings, staples of the Lyonnaise silk workers' diet a century ago,' he says.
Raymond Blanc, meanwhile, was inspired by his influential chef mother, Maman Blanc, in his home region of Franche-Comté, close to Lyon, so he should know a definitive salade lyonnaise. 'It's a simple everyday salad straight from my native county,' he explains in BBC2 series The Very Hungry Frenchman. 'This salad is made all the easier as you can now buy so many varieties of ready-prepared salad leaves.'
Chefs disagree about which leaves are best. Blanc suggests frisée, lamb's lettuce and escarole in equal proportions. The crunch and peppery bitterness of this mix cuts through Blanc's salty bacon effectively. However, in Cooking With The Master Chef (Phoenix), rival Gallic chef Michel Roux Jr calls for dandelion leaves or frisée only. I fleetingly consider the garden for my dandelion leaves but it's the wrong time of year.
New York Times food stalwart Mark Bittman says: 'The combination of bitter greens (traditionally frisée, though escarole, dandelion and arugula all work beautifully), crisp bacon, barely cooked eggs and warm vinaigrette is unbeatable.'
I really love Blanc's call for 'fines herbes' – chives, chervil and tarragon – to boost my corpus of mighty French flavours.
So what about the eggs? Most poach them but chef Angela Hartnett of the celebrated Murano in Mayfair suggests frying in her excellent new cookbook, A Taste Of Home (Ebury). The fried one looks enticing but the yolk doesn't burst so voluptuously over the leaves. The piggy component in this recipe is worth considering. It's lardons and smoked bacon for Monsieurs Blanc and Roux Jr; Hartnett raises the game with black pud.
Hartnett tosses the leaves with black pudding, bacon and shallots, then adds a dressing of olive oil, wine vinegar – not specifying white or red – Dijon mustard and seasoning. Blanc's vinaigrette packs more of a punch than a tear-jerking Zola novel with Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, a little water, extra virgin rapeseed oil, sea salt and black pepper, as well as a shallot and garlic. Bittman, meanwhile, mixes Dijon mustard and sherry vinegar. Made from the fortified dry white wine, it is less sweet, smoother and more aromatic – a positive addition.
Croutons et al
To finish his sybaritic meat fest, Blanc scatters around pork scratchings but I find their strong saltiness detracts from everything else. Hartnett mentions in her recipe that 'the French add croutons but I prefer to leave these out'. Au contraire – I like Roux Jr's idea of making your own croutons by slicing baguette, baking and rubbing with garlic. I might honk but it's the gutsy trombone in my Gallic orchestra.
Salade lyonnaise recipeIngredients (makes 2)
150g frisée, raddichio and escarole
1 large handful chives, chopped
1 large handful tarragon, chopped
1 small baguette for croutons
1 garlic clove, crushed to rub into bread
150g streaky smoked bacon
2 organic eggs
1 knob of butterSalad dressing: 2tbsp sherry vinegar
4tbsp olive oil
1tbsp Dijon mustard
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
Salt and black pepper
Step 1Preheat the oven to 180C. In a jam jar or shakeable container mix the mustard, vinegar, olive oil, shallot, garlic and seasoning. Screw the top on. Shake hard. Taste, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 2Place your leaves and herbs in a large bowl. In a frying pan on medium heat, add a little butter. Sauté the bacon slowly. When it is cooked, remove the bacon until it cools a little. But immediately toss any fat from the pan into the salad, as it adds flavour. When the bacon is cooler, slice into smaller pieces, about 2cm x 2cm. Toss the greens with the dressing and warm bacon so everything is coated.
Step 3Slice a baguette into about 20 slices and place on a baking tray. Bake in the oven at 180C until crisp and golden (usually for about 5mins depending on your oven). Then rub each slice with the garlic. On two plates, serve the greenery and bacon with the croutons.
Step 4On a medium heat, bring a medium-sized saucepan of water to the boil then simmer. Crack the eggs into small teacups and slowly slip them into the water. Don't stir them, just let them settle in the water for 3-4min, then scoop them out with a strainer. Place each on top of the leaves and break them so the yolk immediately runs into the salad.

A new Target store in San Clemente, Calif., was the recipient of a GreenChill GOLD award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. There are a lot of certifications and awards being handed out these days in the world of sustainability, but what makes EPA's GreenChill GOLD award noteworthy is that the Target store is only the 27th retail location to earn the distinction.
Target snagged the award by adopting green refrigeration technology – a change that benefits both Target and the surrounding community – by reducing the overall amount of refrigerants and the amount of harmful refrigerants.
"Fewer than 1% of all food retail stores in the nation have received GreenChill's Store Certification for environmentally friendlier refrigeration. With this award, Target joins an elite group of environmental leaders," said Keilly Witman, EPA's GreenChill program manager.
In addition to reducing refrigerant emissions, Target said new and remodeled stores will use energy-efficient refrigerated cases with LED lighting, anti-sweat controls and motion-sensor technology. The result is up to a 75% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the average supermarket.
In addition to GreenChill, Target is part of EPA's SmartWay program aimed at reducing transportation-related emissions and the U.S. Department of Energy's Retail Energy Alliance. The company is also a founding member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition that was announced earlier this year. Target also plans to earn the EPA's Energy Star for at least 75% of U.S. buildings by 2016.

Community Forums › Forums › Design Tips and Tricks › NextGen not working with Executive Theme
This topic contains 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated by David Chu 4 years ago.
September 13, 2013 at 9:15 am #62272
Hello - I was building a new site with the Executive theme and installed NextGEN Gallery Version 2.0.21.
When I tested my gallery the lightbox function would not work. When you clicked on image in the gallery it just opened the JPG in the browser. I thought it was a conflict with another plugin so I deactivated all of them. Still no lightbox effect.
Someone suggested I try another theme for the heck of it. I activated the default wordpress theme and BINGO! ... Lightbox worked.
I reactivated Executive theme and... no lightbox. So something in the theme is preventing NextGEN from functioning properly.
Is there a way to get around this? Suggestions? Alternatives? I just need a simple gallery viewer that will function on mobile as well and I am in time crunch (of course).
Thank youSeptember 14, 2013 at 11:27 am #62539
David ChuParticipant
I'm sure I can't magically fix this for you, but I have a couple thoughts. I don't have Executive, but in the demo it's running FlexSlider. If that runs automagically when you use Executive, that is a suspect for interfering with NextGen. So if you can find it, you could try disabling the loading of the Flexslider script. btw, I would think official support could help you with this.
I am no NextGen fan, even after having used it many times due to client requests. But it's supposedly responsive now, which is amazing, considering how non-responsively it was coded, with inline styling in every last inch of it. But if it works now, more power to you!
I've shopped for lightboxes and other types of sliders very often. You may know this, but many of the lightboxes work with the normal WP Gallery, which you'd have to set up yourself on the page. If an unadorned lightbox is OK, you could try WP jQuery Lightbox. It's lean and mean.
If you use it, look for this line in your CSS, and if it's there, remove the first "a," from it.... you don't want that transition on links with this lightbox, or you'll get weird results. This is one of those times when a CSS3 transition is ugly. 🙂
a, button, input:focus, input[type="button"], input[type="reset"], input[type="submit"], textarea:focus, .button { transition: all 0.1s ease-in-out 0s; }
Good luck!

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, 2006/04/22 - Bill Gates visit to Vietnam Software Development seems to be bit early according to the experts of IT Outsourcing industry..
The world's biggest chip producer Intel is spending in Vietnam and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is expected to visit this weekend. According to the experts this visit might not end up into any particular result as the poor Southeast Asian country's Information Technology industry has still a long way to travel for IT Outsourcing and other overseas services. This seems to be just a casual visit from Bill Gates to Vietnam for Software Development and other IT services.
According to the experts it has happened second time in the short time period of 10 years that an array of foreign industries and services companies, including IT firms, have an look at on Vietnam's highly literate, young workforce for IT and software services. But still it is a long way to go for them as there is lots of and heavy competition in the market for IT services to the globe. So, one or two visits by the big IT Giant professionals dont indicate that Vietnam is in the market to face the global challenges.
Software Development Services Globally
One thing is sure that the country really has a good bulk of young generation and this is one of the reasons that country is expectating to have a good status and name for Software Development services globally. It has a quarter of its 83 million people aging between 14 years to 25 years and this figure indicates the great youth in the country. This could also be one of the reasons that big IT giants are looking at the country for future IT Outsourcing center.
As far as Vietnam is concerned for Software Development services, their annual per capita income is only $640 as stated by the government, but businesses form the overseas, ambassadors and aid groups see capable in an economy that grew 8.4% in the last year 2005. The government projects that the growth of the country over the next five years time period at 7.5% to 8%.
Intel proclaimed in February it would construct a $605 million microchip assembly and testing unit in the commercial center of Ho Chi Minh City. It is also considered to be countrys biggest Information Technology investment to date for Software Development services. The capital of the country, Hanoi, edges with small IT Outsourcing and businesses, including computer support services and facilities companies and Internet cafes and nothing much apart from this.

Today marks the end of Marty Walsh's first week as mayor of Boston — and it might turn out to have been the easiest in his term. Walsh made key appointments, among them several minorities — forwarding his goal of a diverse administration. Now he'll turn to the city's stubborn financial problems — problems that have few answers and big consequences.
In a way, Boston got married this week. Its citizens pledged to have and hold Marty Walsh, in sickness and health, for at least four years.
And Walsh vowed, "Together, we can create one Boston, one Boston: a hub of opportunity, community and equality for all."
The city and its mayor may be in their honeymoon phase now, but there will be an adjustment period.
"It will take a while for all of us to remember that Tom is no longer mayor," said former city councilor Larry DiCara. "It will take a while for Marty's friends to remember that he is mayor, and that things are different."
DiCara says if Boston holds true to its history of serial monogamy, teenagers today — who have only ever known Tom Menino as mayor — may be almost middle-aged when Walsh leaves office. But first, Walsh will go through a learning curve that will be necessarily steep, in part because he has to get a budget to the city council by early April.
"We in Boston know almost to the penny what's going to come in," DiCara said. "And the only real variables we have are the amount of money we get from the state. Other than that, it's almost fixed. And it's a very difficult equation to try to satisfy the various constituencies the mayor would have."
DiCara says Walsh will quickly learn that city government is more complex than he can possibly imagine.
"And there will be some things he may not be able to pull off, just because of the realities, and we have to be patient and tolerant about that," he said.
Walsh will also have to be careful about the way he tries distinguishes himself from Menino, says Scott Smith, mayor of Mesa, Ariz., and president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors.
"Mayor Walsh, the best thing he can do is to not be Tom Menino," Smith said. "But on the other hand, don't work too hard to not be Mayor Menino. The fact is, Mayor Menino was unique and left a good foundation to work from, but Mayor Walsh is his own person."
That good foundation is a major factor working in Walsh's favor. Smith says Walsh will be able to build his administration with the best and brightest candidates from across the county, since Menino set an attractive precedent of investing in innovative ideas.
"There's an incredible sense of optimism for this new mayor and for this city," said Peter Ubertaccio, of the Joseph Martin Institute for Law & Society at Stonehill College. He says Walsh has an extraordinary opportunity to reshape Boston.
"He's got some political capital that many other people taking office in difficult economic times don't often have," Ubertaccio said.
Some of that capital comes from Walsh's relationship with the labor community. Walsh's campaign was funded by millions of dollars from union members. Now he has to negotiate three police contracts and a firemen's contract.
"It is a challenge for him, but it's also a challenge for his labor allies," Ubertaccio said. "Every time they ask for something that some neutral observers view as unreasonable, they're going to be making the new mayor's life even more difficult."
Why more difficult? The Boston Patrolmen's League has already won a 25 percent raise that many see as unreasonable. Sam Tyler, of the Municipal Research Bureau, says if Walsh's labor negotiations fail, an arbitration panel will likely grant the other unions the same 25 percent increase.
"Likely it would mean that in order to pay for it over time, that there would be reduction in personnel levels elsewhere," Tyler said.
Tyler says the city of Boston has already reduced its workforce over the last decade. And Walsh told Greater Boston recently he didn't want to make cuts.
"There's potentially a $50 million shortfall in the budget," Walsh said. "And that's a problem. We have to pay for it. If there's a $50 million shortfall we have to cut services, cut something, lay people off, and I don't want to start that way."
Either way, the Municipal Bureau's Tyler says, "There's not going to be a lot of flexibility for … Mayor Walsh to be able to implement some of the initiatives he's talked about during the campaign, given the fact that there's all these other pressures on what are really limited revenues."
Walsh may not have much room to maneuver as he seeks to increase diversity among city employees and reduce income inequality across Boston.
"We have an obligation to encourage people of color to support this mayor," said Darnell Williams, president of Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts. "But we reserve the right as civil rights organizations to say if we don't agree with it, we want to nudge them in the right direction with a little more aggressive speed."
Williams says he and other leaders in communities of color will be watching closely to make sure that even as Walsh deals with budget challenges, he fulfills his vow to create one Boston.

For years Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley had been known for his temper that had been getting him into trouble since his days as the offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals. Haley wore his heart on his sleeve, which often helped motivate his players on Sunday but strained his relationship with Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. That emotion spilled onto the field during a 37-10 loss to the New York Jets this past Sunday and just one day later Haley was fired but was it more than underachieving that is to blame for his departure?
The Chiefs offered Haley the job after an impressive stint as the offensive coordinator of the Cardinlas, one in which he helped lead the team to its first ever Super Bowl appearance in 2009. Turning around the franchise proved to be an uphill battle as the team was left massacred after Herm Edwards' tenure. Kansas City is the smallest franchise in the league and that can make it difficult for the team to land any big name free agents, forcing the team to focus on the draft and to make careful coaching decisions. Haley's first season was pretty much an expected flop, finishing last in the division with a record of 4-12, but the turnaround came quick for the Chiefs as last season he led the team to a surprising 10-6 record and an AFC West title.
The offensive-minded Haley was in the process of building one of the better defenses in the AFC, though his offense was still a work in progress. After last year's sniff of the playoffs, one that ended in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the first round, the team hoped to build off of the experience. But one bad thing happened after another and it slowly began to appear as though the Chiefs wouldn't repeat as division champions.
The Chiefs have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the league. One week they look good against an elite team and the very next week the team will go out and play terribly against a horrible opponent. The blame fell solely on Haley but it was tough considering what he had to work with. It didn't take long for the Chiefs to get bit by the injury bug and it just continued to snowball all season.
The first big blow came in week one when up-and-coming strong safety Eric Berry was lost for the season thanks to a torn ACL. Shortly after, running back Jaamal Charles suffered the same fate, tearing his ACL. Thefinal blow came weeks later when quarterback Matt Cassel suffered a hand injury, abruptly ending his season.
There is no team in the league that could suffer injuries to its starting quarterback and starting running back in the first few weeks and expect to be in the playoff hunt at the end of the season, so the Chiefs had to expect to be in this position – a 5-9 record with no chance of the playoffs. Kansas City didn't want to let Haley ride out this season and start with a clean slate next season.
Last Sunday might have helped explain why.
The Chiefs were on the verge of losing five of their last six games and during Sunday's loss , Kansas City had 11 penalties, the biggest of which was a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Haley for remarks he made to a member of the officiating crew. Haley might have taken that emotion into the locker room after the game which could have left the front office very unhappy. Chiefs owner Clark Hunt said after the firing that the move came due to a lack of inconsistency and for no other reason.
The poor play under Haley could have just been a scapegoat for a team that had a coach who Hunt and the front office was unable to control emotionally and now the Chiefs are left to start over. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel will take over as interim head coach until the Chiefs can find their second coach in less than three years.

I'm a working mum, and proud of it.
I often wish there were more hours in the day, and sometimes feel like I'm doing ten jobs passably well, instead one job brilliantly. But I don't beat myself up about it because I know I'm trying my very best, and I believe it's a good thing my girls will grow up seeing that motherhood and successful careers can be combined.
However, there is one area where I would like to do better, and that's reading with the girls. Growing up, I read voraciously – escaping to a fantasy world of Magic Faraway Trees, and Chocolate Factories, and Giant Peaches.
It stretched my imagination, and ignited my creativity, and broadened my knowledge, but most of all it was fun! Technology is so prevalent these days that good, old-fashioned books are in danger of being overshadowed by tablets, and apps, and movie downloads.
I know I'm guilty of it too – letting the girls watch the iPad while I finish some emails – and it's something I want to change for 2014.
Which is why the idea of BOOK BUGGY appealed to me so much. It's a subscription service, costing £18.99 (plus £2.50 p&p) per month. For that price your child receives three or four beautiful books handpicked according to their age and interests.
The selections arrived in gorgeous gift boxes, addressed to each girl, which they couldn't wait to unwrap. That night the three of us snuggled up on the couch, and read the books together, and it was lovely. I'd forgotten how amazing it felt to escape into a book, and let the story transport you to a magical land.
Since then we've tried to read together every night. Some evenings it's just not possible – that's the reality of modern life for you – but I'm making much more effort to find those 20 minutes; not just for the benefit of the girls, but for me too.

Apple bids fair to take over the electronic world as iSteve's little Cupertino company doubles revenues year over year, pushes profits to heights not previously imagined, and bids to continue on this path indefinitely.
As previously predicted in this space, many of the purchasers of iProducts are now buying Macs as well, ensuring a growing dominance in that space as more and more people come to realize that it's better to use a real operating system rather than a cheap, buggy knockoff. Eventually business will "get" it too, and when that tide turns, the whole industry will reach a cusp.
Perhaps this past quarter offered a defining moment of sorts, as Apple's profit surpassed that of MS for the first time since the early nineties (by several hundred million, and no looking back). Given that Apple is a relatively high-cost hardware operation, and MS an extremely low marginal cost software house, this is a truly...
