The beginning of the shorter formats ensured that Raina was back in his comfort zone, as he was seen running the hard yards to get over his Test blues. Not that it means anything, for Raina has always been a cricketer who hardly ever takes a wrong step while training, but still somehow manages to trip over himself on match days.
In the left-hander�s case, there is almost no correlation between the hours he spends batting before a game and during it; the respective lengths seem to differ starkly. Inside the net enclosure, he painstakingly irons out his flaws (read short ball) with the coaches, but as soon as he marks his crease the next day he looks wrinkly and unkempt. Remember Trent Bridge? Tim Bresnan, bouncer, pull, top edge, caught at fine leg, misery.
Just like at Trent Bridge, he was once again ducking short balls during practice at Old Trafford for the T20. Besides, he also batted for long hours, faced throwdowns, took slip catches, indulged in feverish diving during fielding drills, and bowled off-spinners. In between, he found time to play the fool with his mates, listen to seniors, humour skipper Dhoni, smile at journalists, sign autographs and thank bowling coach Eric Simons profusely for the help. �Thanks a lot Simons,� he yelled while exiting the nets. Touched by the gesture, the coach replied: �It was my pleasure, Suresh Raina.� The batsman�s eyes gleamed with pleasure.
Raina has got light eyes, but dressing room grapewine has it that the retinas are in fact blue. They seem to know, for regardless of changing reigns and eras and managements in the dressing room, Raina remains the favourite.
Captain�s pet
This has also worked against Raina, as the easiest way to badmouth him is to call him the captain�s pet. During the Chappell era, he was compared to Brian Lara; during the following South African regime, Kirsten went on record to say that it was Raina�s knock against Australia in the quarters that won India the World Cup; and after becoming captain, MS Dhoni has always made it a point to stress on Raina�s extreme workload everytime he is asked questions regarding rotation, injuries and fatigue. Dhoni is of course a close confidante of Raina�s, as on tours, the captain, his wife and the 24-year old dine together.
But to be fair to Raina, he is just the sort of the player that coaches, especially the overseas kind, love to have in their team. One of the fittest in the side, he dutifully completes all drills, is last to leave the nets, never shies away from a challenge, and never hides behind injuries when the going gets tough. He does all the right things to be seen as a team man. He ruffles the hair of wicket-takers, receives plenty of back slaps for a fine fielding effort, and is by far the most prominent on the dressing room balcony when a teammate raises his bat. But can all these traits help one survive a run slump? History has shown that what it can at best do is delay the axe, never avoid it.
Raina�s constantly fluctuating form never helps his backers to justify his inclusion in the side, while also making the often floated theory that he is captain material an irrational one. Although he scored three 50s in the relatively easier climes of the Caribbean, Raina averaged 13.2 � against England over four Tests � when it mattered. His last ODI fifty arrived in October 2010, ten months ago.
The UP connection
It�s been six years since Raina got his big break in the senior side as a prodigal junior, but it�s fair to say that he hasn�t quite lived up to his potential. He was seen as that player who would end up replacing the legendary batsmen in the Indian middle order. But at present, his international record is closer to Mohammad Kaif than a Rahul Dravid or a Sachin Tendulkar. Raina averages 34 in 120 ODIs and 29 in 15 Tests. When Kaif was dropped permanently, his career averages were strikingly similar � 32 in 125 ODIs, and 32 in 13 Tests.
The two UP batsmen have other common traits too. Like Raina, Kaif was the fittest in the team, was a stunning fielder, while captains and coaches loved him. He was said to be the future India captain, but his lack of runs did in an otherwise glowing CV. In terms of strokeplay, Raina has got more power and range, but the statistical similarity is spooky. By the end of the series, Raina would have played 125 ODIs, the same as Kaif. The next five games will see if Raina can break the Kaif mould.
In the present touring party, Raina�s place in the playing XI is cemented, thanks to the injury epidemic plaguing Team India regulars. If Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh were fit, and considering the sparkling form of both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Raina should have been fighting for his place in the side.
Like a teacher�s pet � the kind who diligently do their homework, wipe the blackboard and scream �good morning� the loudest � who is reluctantly punished, India�s captain, coach and overall management may also have to do the needful when the time arises.

To be fair Free Virtual Servers are the only hosting company I have used for any real length of time but I can't think of any reason why I would want to move to another supplier. On several occasions I have asked for support and had recieved quick and valid answers. The level of products within the hosting service are more than sufficient for everything I require and the overall cost is very much acceptable. It has been very rare when the server I use has been down, in fact, I can't remember the last time it happened. In the general running of my hosting FVS let me get on with what I want to do and quickly advise me if something has gone wrong. What more could anyone ask for?

Volcanic Alert Bulletin TON-2012/31 - Tongariro Volcano
link to info.geonet.org.nz
22 November 2012, 4:15 pm - Eruption update: Tongariro still gassing but no ash; Volcanic Alert Level remains at Level 2; Aviation Colour Code remains Orange
Activity at Tongariro remains low but the volcano is still emitting a significant amount of gas, but with no ash.
Today's observations confirm that the volcano is producing a lot of gas. The odour was noticed in the Manawatu and Hawke's Bay, the primary downwind areas of Te Maari (Tongariro).
Depending on weather conditions people may notice the smell of sulphur a hundred kilometres or more from the volcano. However, any health impact is likely to be limited to minor irritation of the skin and eyes, and possibly some irritation of the throat. Anyone who has respiratory problems and/or uses asthma medication, and has concerns with their health related to the gases, should seek medical advice.
Read about issues related to volcanic gas on the International Volcanic Hazards network.
GNS scientists carried out an observation flight around Tongariro today and were able to assess the general extent of the yesterday's eruption. GNS scientist Craig Miller reported that "The Upper Te Maari hasn't changed significantly after the eruption".
The Volcanic Alert Level remains at 2 and the Aviation Colour Code at Orange.
GNS Science continues to closely monitor the situation.
The Volcanic Alert Level ranges from 0 to 5 and defines the current status at a volcano. Level 2 indicates that a minor eruption has occurred.
Aviation Colour Codes are based on four colours and are intended for quick reference only in the international civil aviation community. Code Orange indicates that a volcanic eruption is underway but with little or no ash being produced.

Ranging in size from 2,700 square feet up to 5,000 square feet, our Signature Series collection embodies what today's buyers are looking for and allows even the most discerning home purchaser to build a home without the need to add a number of upgrades to get what they are looking for.

Expecting a Tax Refund? Double It During May!By · Comments
Well, the dreaded IRS Tax deadline has already passed and May is here. Despite the complaints about the process, it is surprising to learn that more than 80 percent of Americans will actually receive a tax refund this year. While it's great to have some "bonus" money, wouldn't it be even better to double your tax refund?
During the month of May, any homebuyer who is in the market for a new home in Centre, Blair, Cambria and Huntingdon counties is in for a better than normal tax return. If you purchase a to-be-built home with S&A Homes in any of these counties between now and May 31, plan to double (actually triple) that return. We will automatically double the tax return due to you and pay you the lump sum of that value when you settle on your new home. Read More→
If you are a Realtor in the Martinsburg, WV area, mark your calendars for a fun event this Thursday evening from 4 to 7 p.m. Join us at our North Ridge model home for a wine and cheese Realtor-only event. If you think this evening is just about the food and drinks, though, you are sorely mistaken.
Realtors attending will have a chance to get a sneak preview of some brand new, luxurious floor plans that will soon be offered in our North Ridge communities. When we say sneak peek, we really mean it. We will have floor plans, exterior renderings and interior photos of our brand new plans on display for you to view. Read More→
Last week, our team at S&A Homes was proud to walk away with five Pyramid Awards from the Harrisburg Home Builders Association (HBA). The annual event is actually part of a nationally recognized program that is administered through local HBA chapters to honor the best of the best when it comes to home builders, remodelers and industry leaders in marketing and advertising.
Our Harrisburg region submitted photographs and examples of work for each category in addition to a written narrative outlining the goals for each program and submitted their work earlier in the month to the Harrisburg Home Builders Association. Afterwards, a third-party panel of judges combed through the submissions to make a determination of who won best of the best for work done in 2013. Read More→
Baby Boomer Lifestyle Trends You Need to Know AboutBy · Comments
When we all picture retirement, we may envision ourselves in a sunny place like Arizona or Florida, soaking in the rays, hanging out with our ultra-friendly neighbors in a monstrous clubhouse and swimming ever day in an Olympic sized pool. The reality is, however, that more and more retiring baby boomers are choosing to live in locations close to their kids (and more importantly, grandkids) and are choosing an active, hands-on family lifestyle that often has very little to do with the mega resort community we usually envision for baby boomers.
That doesn't mean 55 and uppers don't seek many of the luxuries that those resort-style communities offer, though. They just want to be close to their family, and, frankly, most don't want to spend nearly $1,000 a month on HOA fees to maintain those types of amenities. So, what does today's retiring baby boomer seek? According to studies conducted by AARP, John Burns Real Estate Consulting, National Association of Realtors and the NAHB there are many items Baby Boomers have on their wish list. These few stood out: Read More→
Those looking for unrivaled luxury, location and convenience better not miss out on our open house event at The Woods of Sewickley Hills this Sunday, April 27. This fast-selling community is located in the heart of Sewickley, known for its premium location close to Pittsburgh, it's charming downtown, scores of gorgeous homes and its award-winning Quaker Valley School District, which is the 4-time recipient of the Blue Ribbon Award of Excellence in addition to recently being recognized as the #14 high school out of 687 Pennsylvania Schools in U.S. News last year.
A great location shouldn't mean that you need to sacrifice on space and amenities. With just one quick-delivery home available in The Woods of Sewickley Hills and only one home site left to build on, those interested better act quickly if they want to live in one of the area's most sought-after communities.

What is pre-construction pricing? Those looking for a new home have heard the term, but not everyone is aware of what it means. The truth is that it can mean different things depending on the circumstances surrounding it.
A builder that touts pre-construction pricing in a slow selling community may simply be using the terminology as a sales gimmick. A builder that legitimately offers buyers a discounted chance to get into a community before many of the "perks" are in such as landscaping, a finished streetscape or a model home may offer new construction purchasers a chance to save big up front.
So, how can you tell if you are getting a true bargain or not? Two words: sales volume. Communities selling quickly will also tend to be the ones that offer big returns for early investors. Of course, if you are striving to be the FIRST buyer in a community, that type of information certainly won't be available to you. Relying on market comps in the surrounding area will be your best bet to determining if a community is a true bargain or not. Read More→
Your Planning Guide to This Weekend's Blue-White GameBy · Comments

This year's game is especially important since it is James Franklin's debut as the new head coach for the Nittany Lions. Plus, since attendance and parking is completely free AND the forecast for Saturday is 68 degrees and sunny, we wouldn't be surprised if attendance this year breaks the 70,000 number, making this one of the most attended spring football games in the nation.

Thinking of small town living typically evokes images of places far from civilization. Pennsylvania, however, with its historic towns, country views and lovely main streets is unique because most of these idyllic small towns are located close to some of the nation's largest and most cosmopolitan cities.

Waynesboro offers the ultimate in commuting convenience to Hagerstown, MD and Frederick, MD in addition to award-winning schools.

"A Jihad for Love" is the world's first feature documentary to explore the complex global intersections between Islam and homosexuality. Parvez enters the many worlds of Islam by illuminating multiple stories as diverse as Islam itself. The film travels a wide geographic arc presenting us lives from India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France. Always filming in secret and as a Muslim, Parvez makes the film from within the faith, depicting Islam with the same respect that the

Covering more than half a dozen countries, Sharma stretches himself too thin, and as a result the documentary seems sketchy; he would have done well to present on-screen some of the background information in his production notes.
For all the research, courage and passion that went into it, the movie is sometimes curiously one-note.
[Director Sharma's] focus on religion and this particular religion's all but certain hostility to same-sex love means there can be no answers to the spiritual searching of many of his characters.
Often fascinating and provocative, although, as a film, it feels a bit long and somewhat repetitive.
A Jihad for Love is a courageous documentary on the plight of gays in the Muslim world, and it reveals how the devout attempt to reconcile their sexual orientation and their faith.
The film is propelled by tales of Muslims wrestling with their faith and sexual identity.
director Parvez Sharma sets out across the world to find out what it means to be gay and Muslim. In most cases, it means trouble.
A poignant and sobering depiction of the struggle of gay Muslims in 12 countries to reconcile their sexual orientation with their faith.
Parvez Sharma's documentary, "A Jihad for Love", traces heartening, harrowing stories of Muslim gay men and lesbians.
It is presented as an inside view of the issue, but bears the judgmental stamp of the outsider, almost to the point of cultural exploitation.
With each familiar story, you wish Sharma dug a little deeper into the issue. Still, his message conveys.
To be called a monster and then be stoned to death is pretty much as bad as it can get.
The filmmaker and his subjects are to be commended for their honesty, yet there's an overwhelming sameness to their stories that impedes the film's dramatic value.
More than the question of whether the mainstream religions can ever accept homosexuality, Jihad For Love shines a light on religious devotion, a powerful thing for some, even in the face of persecution and death.
The Muslims here feel bound up in an internal battle (the primary meaning of jihad) as they try to make peace between divine and earthly loves. What's lacking are deeper, more involved ruminations on such feelings, reconciliations and self-recriminations.
Audience Reviews for A Jihad for Love
[size=3]In most Muslim societies (but not all) gays and lesbians face ferocious persecution and even execution. Many people featured in the film were so frightened of retribution directed at their families that they would only appear on camera if the director promised to blur their faces. When they appear in the film, you just see foggy clouds where their faces should be. "Jihad for Love" contains more obscured faces than any documentary in cinema history, a disturbing visual indication of the terrible oppression these men and women face.[/size]
[size=3]The photo above provides an example of the blurring. Notice that there are four men in the shot, but two are obscured. These four men, incidentally, are gay Iranians that fled their country after they were arrested at a gay party in Shiraz, a city in southern Iran. Two ended up getting asylum in Canada. The fate of the other two was uncertain at the time the film was completed. [/size]
[size=3]The fact that this film was made at all (and got a distribution deal) truly is a miracle. Indian-born Muslim filmmaker [b]Parvez Sharma[/b] and his American producer [b]Michael Huffington[/b] deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. [/size]
[size=3]"Jihad," it is made clear in the film, does not mean holy war, or war of any kind. It means struggle. By depicting the gay movement as a jihad, the film is not for a second suggesting that gays pick up AK-47s. It suggests that gays, lesbians and their supporters should pick up movie cameras, write books and newspaper articles, and generally tell the truth of their experience. (I might encourage them to pick up AK-47s, but that's me.)
[size=3]"Jihad for Love" is constructed in a highly conventional manner, which is quite disappointing. I'm amazed at the colossal lack of cinematic creativity on the part of most documentary filmmakers today. But the sweep of the film is truly extraordinary. Sharma took a film crew to many different countries and somehow found a substantial number of gay Muslims willing to speak. I can't imagine how he did it. The film starts in South Africa, then moves to Eqypt, France, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and India. [/size][size=3]Sharma took great personal risks by filming in some of these countries.[/size]
[size=3]Several fascinating patterns emerge from the interviews. First is deep religiosity. Everyone interviewed was very deeply religious; moreover, they felt strongly that God was on their side. Only one doubted which side God was on. She at one point even suggested that she deserved to be lashed the way gay men sometimes were. She felt punishment might help her find her way out of homosexuality! She even said this in front of her girlfriend, which was highly bizarre.[/size]
[size=3]But she radically differed from the others in the film, who were completely certain that God smiled upon them. Their battle is with conservative Muslims. They believe firmly that conservatives [i]incorrectly[/i] interpret the Quran and misunderstand the spirit of Islam. Below a gay Muslim (left) has a respectful but pointed discussion with a conservative clergyman about the Quran and the few times homosexuality is mentioned in it. (The Quran's proscriptions are like those found in the Leviticus section of the Jewish holy book.)[/size]
[size=3]This deep religiosity represents a phenomenal difference from the Western experience, where the gay/lesbian movement was founded overwhelmingly by atheists and agnostics. For the past 50 years it's been almost impossible to find gay and lesbian activists in America or Europe who adhered to any of the Judaic-based faiths. [/size]
[size=3]This has been changing recently because certain denominations within Judaism and Christianity have begun to reject hetero-supremacism, But this is very new. Basically the heritage of the Western gay movement has been ultra-hostile to religion, especially Christianity. When I came out of the closet as gay, for example, I thought Christianity was a cancerous, anti-human institution that had to be destroyed. Among gays, this was the dominant viewpoint. (I no longer think this about Christianity, incidentally.) [/size][size=3]One thing is for sure, gay Muslims are most definitely not breaking from Islam. They are deeply devout and feel their place is in the mosque.[/size]
[size=3]Another pattern that emerges from the interviews is the tremendously deep, even a bit pathological, bond between sons and mothers. Almost every gay man in the film has a scene where he talks to his mother on the phone and cries his eyes out. It happened so many times that it started to become a bit comical. Even one of the lesbians has a scene with her mother. But happily, she doesn't cry.[/size]
[size=3]Not once did any gay or lesbian even mention their father. Not once during these phone conversations did the father come to the phone. Not once did the gay person even indicate that he/ she had a father. Is this a coincidence, or is there something very disturbing about the irresponsibility of fathers in the Muslim world? I was also slightly disturbed by the deep bonds between mother and son. I'm not sure it's healthy for sons to be that wrapped up in their mothers.[/size]
[size=3]I'm not surprised that an emigre would have teary phone conversations with family and friends, but with the gay men it was only their mothers. Over and over and over. They never talked to anyone else on the phone. It almost seemed to buttress the classic Freudian theory that boys with excessive attachments to their mothers and emotionally distant fathers tend to become gay. It was an awkward subtext to this otherwise politically focused film.[/size]
Super Reviewer
As depicted in the film, Islam is more diverse than usually perceived, as the interpretation of sacred texts is up for debate. For example, the only relevant phrases from the Koran come up in the context of Sodom and Gomorrah, and as a gay imam puts it, the crimes committed there were rape, not consensual by any means.(The jihad in the title of the film is not here meant as it is usually thought of as a holy war, but as a struggle.) Another text forbids lesbianism but the worst punishment is a scolding. In some Muslim countries like Iran and Egypt, homosexuality is illegal and punishments vary but can include execution, causing Muslim gays and lesbians to live abroad as exiles. Turkey is Muslim, yet secular, and has no laws against homosexuality while Pakistan and India have rarely enforced statutes inherited from colonial England.

French President Francois Hollande has given himself two years to turn round France's economy as he outlined a raft of austerity measures on Sunday.
In one of the country's toughest budgetary programmes in six decades, he included a controversial 75 per cent tax on the rich along with spending cuts and other taxes totalling 30 bn euros.
During a television interview he said it was an agenda for recovery:
"I'm going to set a timetable of two years for recovery and at the same time two years to set up a policy for employmentand for competitiveness….. I understand people are impatient but I would not try to fix in 4 months what previous presidents could not have accomplished in five or ten years."
Hollande is facing an up-hill struggle: the French economy has stalled and unemployment is running at around 10 per cent and since his election four months ago his popularity has begun to slide.
With lay-offs due from restructuring plans at large French companies and government pressure being brought to bear on trade unions over changes to the labour market, it's not sure how much the French public will accept.

Really, among the open games the only opening with which White can really fight for an advantage in the long term is the Ruy Lopez. But in order to make this serious effort, he has buckle down and learn a whole series of sub-variations. That is what the professionals do, including of course Viktor Bologan, who now reveals the secrets of his own grandmaster repertoire.
In the first part the top Moldovan player deals with systems in which Black avoids the main continuation 3...a6 on his third move. These include exotic lines such as 3...Nd4, 3...Nge7, 3...g6 and 3...Bc5, which should however not be under-estimated. In 3...f5 (the Schliemann Defence) he examines a system which has even found its way into the repertoire of many a top player. But the most important variation starts with 3...Nf6 and in its main move order leads to the Berlin Wall. Nowadays, anyone who plays the Ruy Lopez must know above all what he is going to play against this modern defence.

Hamburg, 22 February 2011. On Monday, 21 February 2011, as part of a customer event, Hamburg Süd christened the "Santa Isabel" in Singapore. She is the second of ten identical container vessels with a capacity of 7,100 TEU each.

Since her delivery at Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd. (DSME) in Korea in December 2010, the "Santa Isabel" has been deployed in Hamburg Süd's service between Asia and South Africa/South America East Coast (New Good Hope Express).
Technical data of the "Santa Isabel":

Professional service firms seeking new markets have to plan in 3-D. No glasses required.
Our firm has adopted the paradigm that defines a market as always having at least three dimensions: geography, services, and clients. Any new unique combination of these three dimensions is technically a new market for us.
(An emerging qualifier is that a critical dimension for new market expansion is an available supply of talent.)
A company must understand clearly how many dimensions it intends to assault at once in seeking a new market. Just tackling a new geographic market challenge is no small task in itself without compounding that challenge by also seeking new clients, offering a new service, or adding all new staff, or talent, in a new location.
MacKay Sposito's expansion experiences over the past five years have been varied and have helped us develop an informed recipe for success to expanding into new markets, geographic or otherwise. During that time, our firm has stretched from three regions into five while expanding our three core services areas to five. Three of our firm's current top-five clients are new to us within those five years.
We used to venture into new markets by leading with the services we provide. Today, our growth is not about what we do or where we do it. Now it's all about who we want to serve or — a better way of saying it — who we believe we can help. For MacKay Sposito, those growth opportunities are with companies in energy, land development, and public-works markets.
My experience suggests that if you want to expand into new locations and into new services, then don't define your firm around these ever-changing market dimensions of location or specialty. Lead with what is consistent — that is, who you want to help.
Other important ingredients include seeking new markets with existing clients and with at least one existing staff member willing to relocate. It's likely you have ambitious employees and a valued client or two looking to seek new locations, too. Seize these opportunities and simultaneously build client loyalty and retain up-and-coming talent. These frame the dimensions you are trying to hurdle and reduce risk.
In no particular order, here are my picks of potential growth market opportunities for professional services firms to explore:
• Rail (light, heavy, freight, crossings);
• Energy (generation, transmission, and distribution);
• Education (public K-16 and private vocational);
• Infrastructure (preservation, replacement, and new capacity);
My lens is obviously influenced by my civil engineering background, but I would argue these are all fundamental building blocks of our economy that have lacked significant public investment for decades.
Our society's appetite and expectation for on-demand reliable energy, convenient access to goods, clean water, intolerance for congestion, and access to public education will eventually overwhelm our distaste for having to pay for those public services. Once we realize the longer we wait to reinvest, the more expensive the necessary investment will be, there will be a sustainable decade or two of opportunity swirling around these markets.
In my opinion, it is not a matter of if these markets will arrive, but when are we going to realize the need to invest in them.
Fear is a powerful motivator for any company, but planning for the next downturn is also smart for businesses looking to position for expansion. The downturn certainly provided us all a scary reminder of the risks of attempting to implement a rigid business plan against a cyclical market like construction and infrastructure development.
Rather than trying to time the next peak, I suggest you ask yourself what challenges will your clients (and prospective clients) face in the next down cycle.
Start thinking and planning now for what new markets will be attractive in the next recession and what your clients will need.
If you are willing to invest in growth, plan now how to sustain growth through the next cycle.
Tim Schauer is president and CEO of MacKay Sposito Inc., a Vancouver professional services consulting firm.

Postgraduate Lives: Christopher Thorpe, PhD at Aberdeen University
Why we are inspired by visions of Italy
Thursday 18 May 2006
Christopher Thorpe, 27, is writing a PhD thesis on British impressions of Italy from the 15th century to today, at the University of Aberdeen
When I was 18, I worked at a campsite at Lake Garda cleaning mobile homes and looking after British tourists. I'd grown up watching Football Italia and I'd imagined this wonderful place where people spent their time talking about football and eating ice cream. It was that facile.
Today, I'm fluent in Italian and enjoy Italian film and literature, especially the work of Pasolini and the Modernist writings of Pirandello, Moravia and Calvino. And now my PhD is provisionally entitled: "Imagining Italy: Britain and the vision of Italy from Chaucer to the present day." I'm looking at the way we think about Italians and their culture, art, fashion and food from a sociological perspective, and why the British have sought out Italy as a travel destination.
I've divided my research into five periods: Elizabethan, Classical, Romantic, Victorian and the present day. Since the 15th century, the British have turned to Italy as a source of inspiration - philosophical, literary or artistic. To begin with, it was the aristocrats, but in the Victorian period the upper bourgeoisie started going to Italy - professional classes like lawyers and bankers - much to the aristocrats' disgust. But the Victorians were often intimidated by Italy; it was traditionally a destination for self-styled connoisseurs with cultural capital (knowledge about "good" food, music, literature and so on).
On one level, little has changed. You still won't find low-income family packages to Italy. But what's interesting is that in the 21st century, as our class structure has changed and we don't have an aristocracy, Italy is marketed to different audiences. Lifestyle magazines such as Italia! are aimed at the middle classes; "Chiantishire" in Tuscany is for the affluent business set, and then there's the downgraded version, like the Italy promotions by McDonald's.
Italy has always been viewed as artistically better than us, and it is still venerated in lots of areas; put "Italian" on a pair of shoes and they are instantly desirable. We have inherited that Victorian legacy, although today Italy has less mass appeal to travellers and holidaymakers.
I hope one day to quit the gloom of Britain for the "Lydian laughter" of Tennyson's Lake Garda. But I want to be an academic, and academia in Italy is largely impenetrable for foreigners. For my PhD, I'm lucky because Aberdeen has original travelogues going back to the 1660s.
I'd like to turn my thesis into a book. What I'm saying is: here are the visions of Italy, but why do we have these ones?

Colorado Boy Said to Self-Immolate in High School Cafeteria
Details are still scarce, but a 16-year-old high school student reportedly attempted suicide this morning by setting himself on fire in his school's cafeteria. According to the local ABC affiliate in Denver, the boy suffered severe burns and was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was in critical condition this morning.
The outcome would have likely been worse if it weren't for the apparent quick thinking of two school employees who came to the rescue with a fire extinguisher. One of the two suffered a minor injury during the ordeal, according to police.
Students at Standley Lake High School were sent home for the day while authorities and school officials try their best to make sense of the difficult-to-make-sense-of incident, including whether the boy made any threats prior to his apparent self-immolation. Meanwhile, the sad news becomes the latest in a string of school-related trouble in the Denver area in recent weeks. Here's the Associated Press with the helpful albeit depressing roundup:
On Thursday, Columbine High School, where two gunmen killed 13 people in 1999, went on high security alert after receiving a series of threatening phone calls. The alert applied to a half-dozen other schools in the area, in the same school district as Standley Lake, but was lifted the same day.
On Dec. 13, student gunman Karl Pierson, 17, fatally shot Claire Davis, a 17-year-old classmate at Arapahoe High School in Centennial before killing himself in the school's library. Pierson reportedly had threatened a teacher and librarian who had disciplined him last year and allegedly was seeking that teacher when he entered the school, investigators have said. ...
Westminster was home to 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway, who was abducted on her way to school and killed in 2012. Austin Sigg, who was 17 at the time of the crime, was sentenced to a life sentence plus 86 years. Jessica's disappearance put Westminster and neighboring Denver suburbs on edge as police, aided by an army of volunteers, searched for her and then her killer.
Colorado state lawmakers, meanwhile, are currently considering legislation that would spend about a quarter of a million dollars to keep open a a hotline that students and teachers can use to anonymously report threats and bullying. State officials, according to the AP, say that the hotline has prevented more than two dozen attacks since it opened back in 2004.
