The Art of Getting Things Done
In a world full of busy schedules, family time and unscheduled meetings, time is gold.
Time is a very precious nonrenewable resource, and this is what you'll hear from people who know the value of it. They say that the more you rush, the faster the time gets, and the more you wait, the slower it gets. The truth is that time will remain the same whether you rush or not. It really depends on the way you manage yourself. That is why self-management is key. It helps you become more organized, punctual, and a more effective person. The Art of Getting Things Done was created to serve those who lack in the "self-management" category. It also teaches you self-discipline and self-awareness in order to successfully manage all of your work, and have time for additional activities. But this is only scratching the surface! Much much more will be included in this simple, step-by-step guide.
In this book you'll learn:
The importance of a winning attitude
How to create effective to-do lists the right way
The five most powerful to-do lists that will save you time
How to weigh your priorities
How to remain calm amidst distractions
The benefits of taking a break
How to develop new habits for a more productive day
How to stay healthy and attain prosperity
Time management might be a little tricky, but The Art of Getting Things Done provides a step-by-step blueprint to make life easy, more fun, and hassle-free.

Anne Tallentire
This, and other things, 1999-2010
17 February – 3 May 2010
Royal Hospital Kilmainham
Dublin 8
Tel: +353-1-612 9900
Email: info [at] imma.ie
Nowhere else, 2010, invites the viewer to navigate hundreds of images depicting peripheral glimpses of daily life and detritus taken from sites identified by overlaying a chart of the night sky onto a map of London. This work refigures earlier pre-occupations with interrogating the apparatus of mapping and naming, and plays upon the relationship between the specific and the general; social control and urban occupations.
While much of Tallentire's work has made use of staging and recording her own actions, in Drift the artist documents solely the actions of others in 21 short video clips that portray various routine activities carried out in association with the maintenance of a city's infrastructure. For Drift: diagram xi, 2010, Tallentire has collaborated with Irish architect Dominic Stevens to present an eight-screen video installation encased within a freestanding scaffolding structure. Each installation is devised specifically for the demands of the space and identified as a numerical 'diagram' in order to emphasise the necessity for a critical consideration of context.
Works on paper developed specifically for this exhibition, The Readers, 2010, attests to the identities, activities and interests existing alongside the shared day to day work practices of those who work in IMMA.
Earlier works include Instances, 1999, which contemplates the passing of time in relation to perception and meaning. In three parts, it consists of a video projection which depicts, in real time, dawn breaking over a nondescript city landscape, improvised performance video and a second single image video loop.
A version of Manifesto 3 (… instead of partial object), 2004, reconfigured specifically for the space at IMMA, exploits the ordering and disordering of things and the juxtaposition of action, object and image. This play between image and object is further explored in Document, 2010, a new work that questions conditions of production.
Solo exhibitions and projects include Instances, Venice Biennale as the sole representative for Ireland, Lux Gallery, London, 1999; Dispersal, Orchard Gallery, Derry, 2000, (work-seth/tallentire); Drift, Void Gallery, Derry, Arena Industriale, Reggio Emelia, 2005, and A Pursuit of Happiness, Gallery 3, Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin, 2007. Group exhibitions, projects and screenings include Neue Welt, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt, 2001; Sum of the Parts, South London Gallery, London, 2002, (work-seth/tallentire); Densité + 0, (work-seth/tallentire); ENSBA, Paris and Fri-art, Fribourg, Switzerland, 2004; labour to Arbeit *, Galerie im Taxipalais, Innsbruck, Austria, 2005; To Here, Bloomberg Space, London, 2006; and Species of Spaces and Other Pieces, Hollybush Gardens, London, 2007.
The exhibition is curated by Rachael Thomas, Senior Curator: Head of Exhibitions, IMMA, and co-curated by Karen Sweeney, Assistant Curator: Exhibitions, IMMA.
A fully-illustrated publication designed by Åbäke, with a foreword by IMMA Director, Enrique Juncosa and new texts by Charles Esche, Director of the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; Vaari Claffey, independent curator; Rachael Thomas, and an interview with the artist by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, London, accompanies the exhibition.
The exhibition is supported by Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, and the British Council.

Claude and Pierre Arpels in India, circa 1950, Van Cleef & Arpels' Archives
The Arpels brothers were possessed by a genuine passion for stones and a curiosity for the cultures of the world. The journeys they made between the 1950s and the 1970s were rich in fabulous treasures and remarkable encounters.
Claude Arpels - the eldest of the three - was a particularly indefatigable traveler, referred to in the press of the time as the "Diamond King of Bombay" or the "Friend of Maharajas". His travels, sometimes accompanied by his family, took him to Egypt and the Lebanon, but also to China, Thailand, Cambodia and Japan. He went round the world several times and made a dozen visits to India, which he referred to as his "jewel safaris". The High Jewelry Maison's reputation, along with Claude's charm and expertise, served as an introduction to the courts of the Maharajas, where he discovered an abundance of magnificent stones and jewels.
Baroda Necklace special order book page, 1950, Van Cleef & Arpels' Archives / Claude Arpels
"To get to the "Palace of the White Tiger" we had to cross a lake by boat which brought us to another fairy-tale castle, surrounded by a lovely Moghul flower garden. We were led to a courtyard and there, the scene that greeted us was truly the most fabulous I have ever seen" wrote Claude in an account published by the magazine The Social Spectator.
"The courtyard was covered with jewels of every hue. They lay glistening in the sun against the background of the old velvet cases in which they had lain for hundreds of years. I was momentarily blinded by their brilliance. Emeralds of every shape and size lay side by side with diamonds that reflected the colours of the sapphires and rubies," he added in wonder.
Byzance necklace, 1972 / Medaillons earrings, 1969 / Medaillons necklace, 1966, Van Cleef & Arpels' Collection
From these extraordinary journeys, Claude Arpels brought back a large number of cut, polished or sculpted stones, pearls and pieces of jewelry from the Maharajas' private collections. Sometimes displayed by the Maison, they contributed a far-off inspiration to its creations.
"Now as I look at the Rewa jewels and the Golconda diamonds and the oriental pearls which I brought back from other places, I can feel all the oriental poetry symbolized by the magnificence of the "Thousand and One Nights" legend and the romance of the Taj Mahal.", Claude Arpels confided at the end of his account.
Drawing of a necklace, circa 1960 / Drawing of a long necklace, circa 1970 / Valadon Necklace, 1973, Van Cleef & Arpes' Collection
During one of his voyages, Claude Arpels met his future wife Mherulisa – known as Malou – who was born in Pakistan but had lived in India since she was 20. They were married in 1970. Her personality and taste exerted a strong influence on the Indian inspiration which made itself felt in the High Jewelry creations of Van Cleef & Arpels New York.
In the 1960's, another episode marked Van Cleef & Arpels' imagination. In 1966, the Maison was chosen to create the jewels for the coronation the Empress of Iran Farah Pahlavi. This unique experience resulted in the Empress's crown – set with 1,541 stones (diamonds, emeralds, rubies and pearls) - along with sets for the daughter and sisters of the Shah of Iran. It also provided the Maison with a lasting source of inspiration by exposing it to Persian decorative motifs and style.

Hideaway Bakery, Eugene, OR
It's pretty well acknowledged that we tend to select sketching sites contingent upon two factors: accessibility of coffee, and accessibility of bathrooms. Today we added a third – heat overhead on a patio!
Sandy, Barb Sh., Ken, Hugh, Erik, Bev, Barb So. (& Jane behind the camera). As you may be able to tell by outerwear, it was nippy.
Jane came prepared with a print-out of a page by Urban Sketcher Miguel Herranz from Barcelona, & utilized a similar layout to sketch the items in the nearby sandbox on the patio.
Sandy zeroed in on the lineup of three TD guy friends – Ken, Hugh, & Erik – and then couldn't resist Penny's fig bagel. Another attraction!
In between snacking on her treat, Penny sketched the quince flowers Sandy had collected on her walk. Lovely design ensued.
Barb had her water soluble ink pen going, adding her dog to the cat sketch, and then the St. Francis Basilica door demon. Whatta combo!
Ken sketched a tree across the way, starting out with his left hand to keep the lines loose, then building up the sketch with color.
What are you up to, Hugh? Oh, color charts! See, one with and one without adding water so he can easily choose the effect he wants.
Erik drew what he saw in front of him – a dad playing with his son in the nearby sandbox. He really captured a charming scene.
Bev looked up and sketched the ceiling fan, string of lights, and then added the edge of the doorway and bamboo plant. Fun angles – wow.
Then we had to add another table & some chairs at the end, because Penelope and Helga came to sketch with us, too.
Penelope had a travel scene on her iPad that she was working on, adding careful layers of watercolor to bring it to life.
Helga spotted the bamboo plant just beyond Barb Sh & Ken, then included the wooden gate next to it. There's a lot to see in this spot.
Bev said to show this sketch of Hugh & Barb Sh instead of her fan sketch, so I'm adding it. And Penelope asked if anyone had taking a photo of Jane to include, so here is one with apple blossom sketch.

Wine, condoms, fireworks … and eight other surprising products that contain animal ingredients
After the storm over £5 notes, here are some more everyday items with secret ingredients
THE Bank of England caused outrage this week when it revealed the £5 note contained tallow.
Vegans and vegetarians blasted the "disgraceful" use of the substance, made from animal fat, in the new notes and called it "gross."
But the currency is not the only everyday thing containing hidden animal products.
Many companies hide animal-based ingredients by giving them obscure names so unsuspecting consumers won't know where they come from.
From fabric conditioner to wine, these are some of the surprising products which contain a little bit of animal.
1. Fabric Softener
Making your clothes soft and fresh is not always an animal-free experience. Almost all softeners contain Tallow dimethyl ammonium chloride, which is a complicated way of saying ammonia mixed with the rendered fat of cows, sheep and horses.
2. Toothpaste
Glycerin is a common ingredient in toothpaste brands and, while it can be derived from plants, many manufacturers use a cheaper version derived from animal bone marrow. Look for the rabbit logo if you want animal-free toothpaste.
3. Plastic Bags
The chemical used to make bags slippery, so they don't stick together, is stearic acid, a fatty acid is derived from the rendering of beef fat.
So the drop in bag use since the 5p charge came in is a good thing on all fronts.
4. Shampoo and Conditioner
Animal rights charity PETA list 20 common haircare ingredients that come from animals including the currently trendy keratin, derived from hooves, animal hair, horns and scales. Look for the cruelty-free label to avoid.
5. Wine
Many wines use a filtering system called isinglass to remove the proteins and yeast and it's made from bladders of fish. Yum!
Some beers also use it in brewing.
FAT FREE FIVERSupplier of new £5 notes looking for substance to replace animal fat after veggie fury
6. Sweets
Chewy gum sweets contain gelatin, derived from the collagen in animal bones, connective tissue and skin.
7. Condoms
Even sex isn't necessarily animal free. While latex comes from plants, most condoms also contain casein, a milk protein, and glycerine, from animal bones.
8. Crayons
The distinctive smell that adds to our childhood love of colouring is stearic acid, made from beef fat.
Tallow was once used more widely to make candles, as a cheaper alternative to beeswax. Some manufacturers still use it so it's worth checking.
10. Soap
Glycerin, fish oil, fatty acid, tallow and stearic acid are among the many animal-derived ingredients that are listed in soaps. Look for a cruelty-free label to be really sure if you want a vegan washing experience.
Yes, even the New Year Celebrations could be tainted by hidden animal products.
Stearic acid is often used to coat metal powders such as aluminium and iron to prevent oxidation.

All true, but in the spirit of DWIMery, this is actually a benign and irrelevant side effect. The creation of PV from a number is something that will automatically re-happen again later. And thus I think hardburn's code was correct. There are no real side effects in that they cannot be recreated later identically and automatically. For example, if the "use threadsafe" was in code that called a Memoize'd function, there may still be no real side effect. And only the caller can tell that, not perl.
Assuming that the object does not have non-local side effects (e.g., it reads from a data store, such as a database or the disk, but does not write to it, and the data store is considered locked from writing, or it merely calculates some stuff), such that removing it from the cache and re-creating it will create precisely the same object (especially the same foo()), then there are no technical side effects, and thus would be threadsafe, even if it's not threadsafe from a pure computer-science perspective.
I have exactly this situation in much of my code at work. I would love to see automatic parallelisation of some of what I do - as it is, I'm forced to fork() on unix, and not use threads at all on Windows, just to get consistant, supported speed boosts where I can. Yes, I lose what modifications child processes create in my objects - but since they are all cached and completely reproducable, there is no real side effect from the child code, except for what it writes to disk.
Of course, in order for this to work, we need a way to signify a subset of the code as serial - for example, when writing to a common logfile. Ok, I'll rephrase this: for it to work, I need that serialisation :-)

There is a long and glorious history of moving musical masterpieces written in honor of Mary Magdalene.
Today's selection is a Renaissance motet by the 16th century Spanish composer Francesco Guerrero. In addition to the celestial harmonies (exquisitely rendered here by the incomparable Tallis Scholars), one of the reason I so like this work is that remains faithful to Mary Mgdalene's actual role in the Bible rather than conflating her (as Pope Gregory's preached in the 6th century) with the Gospel of Luke's anonymous penitent sinner. The text simply recounts her appearance in the Gospel of Matthew as the courageous and loyal disciple offering an act of devotion after witnessing the horrors of the crucifixion . Translated from Latin, the lyrics read:
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary brought spices
so that they might anoint Jesus's body.
And very early on the Sabbath,
they came to the tomb,
just after sunrise. Alleluia.
Entering the tomb,
they saw a young man sitting on the right side
dressed in a white robe,
and they were amazed.
He said to them:
"You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified:
he has risen, he is not here.
Look, there is the place they laid him." Alleluia.
Enjoy, and please add your own favorite musical pieces about Mary Magdalene to the comments section below!

China exports slump, imports slide
CHINESE trade data has come in well below even the lowest expectations, raising the prospect of more aggressive stimulus by authorities.
The nation's exports slumped from 11.3 per cent growth year-on-year in June, to growth of just 1 per cent in the year to the end of July - that was against the median economist prediction of 8 per cent.
Australia's largest export destination also saw a slowing in imports, with imports in the year to July rising 4.7 per cent, down from 6.3 per cent the month before, and much lower than the median forecast of a 7 per cent rise.
The Australian dollar fell from just above 105.5 US cents before the release to about 105.2 just afterwards.
The slump in exports shrank China's trade surplus from $US31.72 billion last month to $US25.15 billion in July.

Phylum: Arthropoda - Class: Insecta - Order: Lepidoptera - Family: Pieridae
The Clouded Yellow is a strong migrant, and most years it reaches southern England, occasionally travelling into Wales, Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland. Some years these colourful butterflies are abundant in southern Britain and in other years only a few make it this far north. The origin of these migrants is northern Africa and southern Europe, where they are both widespread and abundant except at very high altitudes.
In the pictures above, male and female are yellow. There is also a form Colias croceus helice (commonly referred to as form helice) wherein the female is creamy white rather than yellow.
The wingspan of a female is 4.6 to 6cm, with males somewhat smaller at 4.6 to 5.4cm.
Widely distributed in southern Europe and northern Africa, the range of the Clouded Yellow extends right across the Middle East and into Asia.
The main larval foodplants of the Clouded Yellow are clovers and related species such as the various medicks, Lucerne and occasionally Common Bird's-foot-trefoil. The pale green caterpillar is covered with short pale hairs. It has whitish lines along the sides of its body and an orange-yellow stripe through the centre with small black spots beneath the stripe.

Hemorrhage and Embolisation
Hemorrhage is blood escaping from the circulatory system. Bleeding can occur internally, where blood leaks from blood vessels inside the body, or externally, either through a natural opening such as the mouth,nose, ear, urethra, anus or through a break in the skin.
It is a way of blocking blood vessels. It is done for various reasons like to stop bleeding, for cutting off the blood supply to vascular tumors like JNA or uterine fibroid. The various substances used to block the blood vessel are medical glue, gel foam, plastic beads like polyvinyl alcohol particles, tiny metal coils. Once these embolisation material in place in particular vessel, the blood flow along that vessels is stopped.
Procedure of embolisation is done in same way as catheter angiogram but in this catheter is taken close to point where blocking vessels is planned esp. with a microcatheter. Once in final position, embolisation material is delivered till the stasis is achieved.
Common embolisation procedures are Bronchial artery embolisation for hemoptysis (bleeding while coughing) to stop bleeding; gastrointestinal tract bleeding embolisation, Pseudoaneurysm embolisation, pre-operative embolisation of vascular tumor to help surgeon during open surgery so that there will be less intra-operative bleedin, post traumatic bleeding embolisation, etc.

- Title: It Girl and the Atomics #1
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Mike Allred
- Artist: Mike Norton
With Madman and two of the Atomics off on an intergalactic music tour with Red Rocket 7, the safety of Snap City falls to an extremely bored It Girl who spends most of her time playing the video game "Dark Streets," complaining about the lack of real criminals on the streets, and even allowing Dr. Flem to test out his latest experiment on her involving Electrical Transference.
The story also includes a plot thread showcasing a former villain (the Skunk) trying to go straight but having trouble convincing both It Girl and his old crew that he's done with a life of crime following his recent parole.
I've never be an avid reader of writer Mike Allred's Madman universe, but the first issue of this new series intrigued me and I decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did.
The story isn't as weird as some of the Madman arcs get. In fact, at least for the first issue it's pretty straightforward, although what the exactly the fallout from Flem's experiment is may well determine where the comic goes from here. Worth a look.

This week's tip:
Hide in the desk of a Publisher
To do this you will have to gain access - perhaps get a cleaning job at the company. You will also have to become very flexible ( heh no-one said this was going to be easy.)
I suggest you hide (with your manuscript of course) for a while, so take some water and perhaps a Muffin or something - you don't want your tummy grumbling and giving you away. Then after the publisher has sat there for an hour or so, JUMP OUT brandishing your novel. Providing you don't give him a heart attack he will be so startled that he will agree to read it. Of course he may call security, in which case I never knew you okay.
Good luck!

Perhaps whilst remaining in the cupboard, you could slide out a page of your manuscript at a time. It might reduce the chances of a heart attack whilst creating a sense of wonder.

Literature has always been cannibalistic and up its own armpit (Helen Fielding up the armpit of Jane Austen, Jane Austen up the armpit of Fanny Burney, Fanny Burney up the armpit of Samuel Richardson, and so on). But recently the novel has become even more ravenously anthropophagous than usual. Joanna Trollope has 'reimagined' Sense and Sensibility, there's a 'reboot' of the Poirot series, and there are the two books under review here.
Lovers of Radio 4's The Write Stuff will know Sebastian Faulks and his opponent, John Walsh, as the cleverest literary pasticheurs going. Faulks's Bertie Wooster item is brilliant. He catches the Wodehousean idiom, periphrasis, surreal similes and bally silliness to a T, all done with love. Any page, taken on the 'sortes Woosterianae' principle, will demonstrate the accuracy of Faulk's mimicry.

Apple Looks FinishedAAPL) is mainly known for its iPhone, as it introduced an amazing line up of iPhones till its iPhone 6/6 Plus. But now it looks like Apple iPhone sales have peaked, as the company's iPhone worldwide sales declined considerably from 74.78 million last year to 51.19 million this year. Apple's iPhone 6S/6S Plus did not meet public expectation as there were no significant changes except 3D Touch as compared to iPhone 6/6 Plus. Moreover, the company expects iPhone sales to decline further in the next quarter.
On the other hand, as per a recent report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP), amid buyers of new iPhone in the U.S. who formerly owns an old iPhone, the age of the phone being retired has gradually surged.
At present, approximately 50 percent of iPhones are 1 or 2 year old equated to 66 percent in June 2013.
Whereas Apple's iPhone sales are declining quarter after quarter, its foremost rival Samsung is hitting home runs. Samsung Galaxy S series has played a significant role in achieving amazing profit. Samsung recently launched its latest flagship smartphone Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge which comprise huge improvements compared to its predecessors Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. In comparison with Apple, Samsung is making smart moves, and has forced old Samsung users to buy new flagship phones. According to t3.com, Samsung's Galaxy S7 has become the best smartphone available worldwide.
Apart from this, Apple is on its way to introduce its new iPhone 7, but it is highly likely that the company will have the same design as that of its predecessor iPhones, and may not be able to force old iPhone users to buy iPhone 7. One more significant thing to keep in mind is that Samsung is also offering a Gear VR headset along with Galaxy S7/S7 Edge to relish virtual reality based videos and games.
Apple will really need to wow investors with the iPhone 7 if it wants to curb the falling sales trend. Investors won't shell out hundreds of dollars to buy an iPhone that offers hardly any upgrades. Meanwhile, it seems like Samsung has already made things hard for Apple by launching a stellar phone. With smartphone growth slowing down, the chances of the iPhone 7 being a bigger success than the 6S are slim.

Paul commented: I am not saying this gentlemen is wrong with what he did but I repair these body control modules in question and it is not a bad batch of resistors; the PCB had a flaw in it and that is why all of body control modules P/N 04686058 get scrapped. If it was only a bad batch of resistors we would replace those and reuse the BCM but we scrap all 04686058 modules.

My wife's 1992 Plymouth Voyager minivan instrument cluster went on the blink. Every gauge in the instrument cluster was dead with the "check gauges" light on.
The instrument cluster is electronic, with analog display gauges. All messages to the instrument cluster gauges are sent over the two-wire differential communication "CCD" bus from the body computer.
The local Plymouth/Chrysler dealer said they would fix it, but that it goes to an outside specialty repair service company; and gave me the company's phone number. They said they would be glad to fix it for $229 plus $58 removal/installation; but their tech said the problem is not in the cluster electronics but with the body computer. They have repaired over 1,000 of these body computers and it has fixed the instrument cluster problem only by replacing it with a later model body computer. The tech asked me to check the part number on the body computer to see if it was a 4686058 (it was). This part number was known to fail and the fix is to replace it with a new model 4741423 body computer.
Ray Parker wrote: "Hey, I just fixed my 89 year old mother's 1992 Dodge Caravan by following your instructions. I replaced only the Q110 transistor as all her gauges were dead, and put the body computer back in and voila, it worked again, thus saving her a bucket of money. Thanks."
I decided to pulled the body computer module and check the PC board out myself. The body computer is under the steering column cover, just to the right of the steering column, in a sheet metal box with two large connectors. Once the cover is off it removes easily, with just two screws, but you should pull the two connectors cabled to the body computer first.
The body computer sheet metal cover has one screw (star type) attaching it. I removed this metal cover and popped out the board. It is a typical high volume, low cost circuit board with a Motorola microprocessor and lots of discrete parts (capacitors, resistors, transistors). Using my trusty digital volt/ohm meter, I found two bad transistors, Q105 and Q110. The transistors both had open base-emitter junctions. Without a schematic, I could trace one transistor to the chime transducer and the other to what appeared to be a bias for the "CCD" bus. They were "NPN" type transistors in a plastic TO-92 package.
I called my brother, an EE who has an electronic lab in his home, and ask him to recommend a substitute part. He said he has a drawer full of 2N3904 (which you could pick up at a local Radio Shack for less than a buck) and to come over and get a couple. After carefully unsoldering the defective parts and soldering in the new transistors, it would be a matter of minutes to check it out. I reinstalled the body computer and upon inserting the key into the ignition with the driver side door open I heard the familiar "key-in-ignition" chime again! The cluster gauges all came alive on startup. My brother
figured the original transistors were from a bad batch and were doomed to a short life (about 4 years I
I don't recommend this repair approach for everyone, but with some electronic knowledge you should be
able to do this body computer repair yourself, saving hundreds of dollars.
Ken Humphrey's 1992 Dodge Daytona had a dead gauge cluster; he tried swapping one in from another Daytona but it made no difference. "The tachometer was dead but now seems to have come back to life, but the speedometer and the fuel, oil, volt and temp gauges are consistently out." The Traveler's trip odometer was still working.
Bob Lincoln commented that, if the odometer is working, then the vehicle speed sensor is good, and it's sending the signal to the BCM (body computer). If both clusters do not work, it suggests that the problem may be in the harness to the cluster. There are two plugs as I recall, both very tight-fitting, so I would not suspect a loose connection at the plug." (It was not the fuse — there is one for the instrument panel.)
Ken checked pin 14 to ground and got 90 ohms resistance, indicating a bad ground. Russ90Daytona wrote, "Sounds like the firewall connector would be the most likely problem. Use a can of electrical contact cleaner on the connections while you're in there."
Ken came back and noted that "the wiring harness that crosses the firewall from the connector and then runs across the passenger side strut tower had come loose from the tower and was rubbing against the power steering pump pulley. It wore throught two wires: one red that has 12V all the time and a blue with orange trace wire (this one was held together by a single strand). I thought for sure I'd found the problem but after repairing the wires the cluster is still dead, except for the tachometer. I added a pigtail off of the cluster connection ground wire and ran it to a metal frame brace and verified that there was 0 ohms from pin 14 to the frame -- still no difference. According to the service manual, is the voltage and ground check out OK and the gauges don't work, then the PCB (computer) is bad."
Bob Lincoln noted that the small daughter board on the right side the cluster is the tachometer drive board. The PCB is the entire board the gauges connect to.
The solution, from Ken: "I got the ground repaired at the connector but the gauges were still inoperative. I pulled the gauges out of the cluster and checked the voltage and resistance at the pins -- resistance to ground was high so I removed the PCB and re-soldered all the connections, sprayed contact cleaner in the plugs and tried it again. The gauges now work, and the speedometer came back to life after driving a few miles."

Spectrum sale a vindication of auction process3 min read . Updated: 07 Oct 2016, 02:35 AM IST
Auctions are clearly the proven way of selling natural and other resources that belong ultimately to the citizens of a country
Regardless of how successful the current round of spectrum sale is, the impact of auctions on the business culture in India is undeniable. The era of favours and kickbacks fostered by the old system of awarding licences through beauty parades is clearly discredited particularly in rent-seeking industries like mining, power and oil and gas, besides telecom. As compared to that old method where the government decided who they wanted to favour when giving out licences, auctions ensure the arbitrariness along with the corruption it inevitably engendered is minimized.
That might not be such a revelation today. But when the idea of auctions as a way of deciding who would be given licences to operate telecom services was first mooted, one of the arguments against it was that rooted in the old way of doing business by stealth, Indian companies could never be forced to follow such a transparent process. Of course, there were other arguments, that the high prices paid in the auctions would eventually be loaded on to customers or even that auctions would force companies to bid their way to the bottom. The first didn't happen and though we have seen a fair bit of the second (of the original list of 20 odd bidders, no more than half a dozen have survived) the problem may only have been in the design of the process rather than the process itself.
Subsequently, there have been auctions for private FM radio as also to lease coal and gold mines. Irrespective of the financial viability of the ensuing bids, there is no question they were the best way of ensuring fair play, besides maximizing returns for the government while minimizing costs for customers.
In fact, a May 2015 analysis by Climate Policy Initiative and the Indian School of Business demonstrated that auctions for solar power, worldwide and in India, have resulted in tariff reductions of up to 58%. In countries other than India, auctions for wind power have resulted in tariff reductions of up to 30%. The report also posited that using auctions to procure renewable energy projects can be effective in meeting the government's dual goals of the deployment of ambitious renewable energy targets and meeting those targets cost-effectively.

Of course, it hasn't always been smooth sailing. In India, telecom licences were first auctioned for basic and cellular services in 1992 by the Department of Telecom (DoT). It wasn't an ideal situation. DoT was then policy maker, regulator and service provider. Yet despite some hiccups, the auction served its purpose though there were pointers of abnormalities in terms of the pricing for spectrum. To address these, in 1993, the government set up the Spectrum Management Committee which looked at parts of the auctions that had not been so successful leading to defaults. Its offshoot, The Spectrum Pricing Committee looked at various ways of pricing spectrum and recommended that "auctions, transferable and flexible spectrum rights, and well-designed fees can enable a number of the benefits of a market approach to be realized".
The auction model came up for scrutiny again in 1995 when the government auctioned another chunk of spectrum in the 900MHz band for GSM-based mobile services in non-metro circles. Unfortunately, consequent to a design flaw, a single company, Koshika Telecom, bagged 14 licences. With its turnover at that stage less than 1% of the estimated licence fee of about ₹ 57,000 crore, it was obviously a non-starter. That and the fear of a state monopoly being replaced by a private one forced a rule change whereby a company could choose to be active in only three circles.
The final nail in the coffin of discretionary processes came when the Supreme Court in 2012 cancelled licences issued to telecom companies by "administrative allotment" in 2008 for the 2G spectrum. The court directed that fresh licences should be granted by auction of the spectrum and came down heavily on the government for selling them on a first-come-first-served basis rather than conducting a transparent public auction. It called the allocations an "arbitrary and unconstitutional exercise", which facilitated corruption.
Auctions, in whatever shape and format, are clearly the proven way of selling natural and other resources that belong ultimately to the citizens of a country. As newer sectors like defence are opened to the private sector, the government would do well to keep in mind the lessons of the last two decades in creating more transparent processes.

How to Prevent Another DAPL
For the last few months, the Dakota Access Pipeline has captured the nation's attention. After Energy Transfer Partners started construction on a pipeline near the Standing Rock Reservation, local Native American tribes protested the pipeline on the grounds that it could pollute their water supplies. Word of the protests spread and thousands of protesters flocked to Standing Rock. After months of confrontations between protesters and militarized police, the Army Corps of Engineers paused the project pending an environmental impact assessment.
The Native American tribes and environmentalists hailed this development as a victory, albeit a temporary one. Donald Trump, who will soon be taking office, has vowed to complete the DAPL and has signaled a willingness to carry out this campaign promise by filling his administration with oil executives and people who have invested heavily in the project. As a result, anti-DAPL protesters are gearing up for a long protest season.
Native American Pipeline Resistance at Standing Rock Resonates Around the Globe
The protest at Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, US has mobilized hundreds of Native American tribes as well as solidarity across the world. The protests are against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a multi-billion dollar project that would transport almost half a million barrels of oil per day across the northern US. The pipeline could contaminate the Missouri River, a key water source for the region. It would also cross through a prominent Sioux burial site.
Although the US government stated last week that it would not grant the easement–the right to cross or use someone's land–under Lake Oahe for the Dakota Access Pipeline construction, the struggle is not over. The announcement cited that further examination was needed, and that an Environmental Impact Statement will be initiated. Demonstrators have said they plan to remain in the camps surrounding the northern edge of the reservation.
Journey to Standing Rock – Check Your Ego, Expectations, and Plans at the Door
I regretted not having my computer and keyboard with me on this journey to Standing Rock. I knew that regardless of the notes I took and the promises I made myself to hold close to memory all of the things I wanted to share, much would be lost. Now, 5 days after returning home, that feeling is even stronger. I've meant to sit down and document the experience a hundred times since returning but haven't done so until now for reasons unknown. I think part of the delay is feeling inadequate to the job along with the understanding that what I contributed to the effort is minuscule, in my mind almost insignificant and the juxtaposition of that feeling with the anticipation when we first started out is jolting. I have no idea where this narrative will go. I don't plan to do very much editing and if it goes on and on and on and you choose to leave it behind, that's okay! I can tell you I came home changed and challenged as if this is the culmination of 65 years of the journey so far. Here goes……
* If you plan to go to Standing Rock, be sure to check your ego and white self at the door when you leave your house. This is a hard lesson for many of us. It was humbling to say the least, to be in a community where my face and experience were part of a most noticeable minority; where my thoughts about what/how things should or should not go are absolutely meaningless and quite frankly, disdained by the native people who are on their own sacred land and IN CHARGE of every iota of planning, decision making and definition. I was reminded of the lessons I am still learning from Black Lives Matter – support does NOT mean leadership or decision making. Support means accepting that we are limited in our understanding and that often those whom we support have every right and reason to look at our faces and first see a historical enemy.
EXCLUSIVE: Training 'preferable, but not required' for out of state cops in Standing Rock
While the professionalism, training, and tactics of Morton County is being openly questioned after bystanders are shot with rubber bullets, tear gas canisters are lobbed with their spoons taped down, and water cannons are used in freezing temperatures, a team of journalism students on assignment in Standing Rock uncovers willingness on the part of the Morton County to field untrained officers.
The debut report from TFC's newest team.
Standing Rock Protectors Threatened With Blockade Of Food And Medicine
Tensions flare once more as North Dakota officials graduate their militarized tactics against protesters. Sheriffs have now threatened a blockade of people, food, and medicine to the camps.
The threats comes on the heels of the US Army Corps of Engineers warning protesters to leave by December 5th. Anyone remaining stay under fear of prosecution for trespassing. Fines have also thrown into the basket of incentives for the water protectors to surrender.
Establishing a blockade represents yet another ultra-militarized tactic used against peaceful American citizens. Denying nourishment and medical treatment is a classic strategy to degrade will and resolve. Combined with harsh weather conditions, water protectors are faced with a tormentingly deadly roulette.
Dakota Access Contractor With Blackwater Ties Heads Protester Surveillance, Violence Escalates
Millions around the world are again gawking over police brutality against water protectors. Following DAPL's (Dakota Access Pipeline's) corporation dishonoring Obama's requests the to halt construction, a new wave of violence hit the protest camps. However, whereas these acts are obvious, those of contracted intelligence firms remain more insidious.
"Do not believe that your cellphones or your computers are clean and uncompromised", said journalist Jeremy Scahill. "I guarantee you that they're using the entire suite of surveillance devices." Scahill was giving water protectors, and fellow journalists in Standing Rock advice on Democracy Now.
"I know that people have been complaining that their cellphones have been down", he continued, "their internet has been down. That can be caused by surveillance weaponry targeting their devices." Scahill describes how phones and computers belonging to water protectors can be used as "geo-tracking devices."
COP22: why climate justice must also be a struggle for sovereignty
'What would you die for?' The question isn't heard often at the UN Climate Negotiations, but it did break into the halls of power on Thursday 17 November. It was posed by indigenous youth delegate Niria Alicia Garcia Torres.'Tell me, what is it you would die for? And what do you stand for?'
These same questions are guiding the hearts of protestors on the treaty lands of the Standing Rock Sioux in North Dakota, USA. Members of over 200 tribes and thousands of allies have gathered over the past seven months to oppose the Dakota Access pipeline, facing off militarized police, sound cannons, rubber bullets, pepper spray and attack dogs to defend their lives, land and water from a 1,172-mile oil pipeline, which they call the 'black snake'.
Why I Play Lacrosse In Milwaukee For Water Protectors In Standing Rock
The struggle at Standing Rock, North Dakota grabbed the world's attention for a time. It's a fight which isn't halting, even though signs of scale-back are beginning to surface. Among the many things Standing Rock's resistance has reminded us of is Native American heritage, and its place in our country. It's for these reasons that I've played the traditional game of lacrosse recently as a kind of symbolic support. Hoping to reach into the game's old role as remote spiritual reinforcement, hundreds of miles away.
For those unfamiliar, lacrosse is a sport often compared to field hockey. It's very different, however, and has been modified over the decades. It's always required a lacrosse stick, which is a metal pole with a head and net on one end. Many players customize their sticks, and with endless marketed varieties each one is unique. Pads, helmets, and other things were added and evolved respectively as time went on. The original game, however, was bare skinned and gritty.
Dakota Access Pipeline Protests Put Right to Water at Center Stage
Since August, over 400 people have been arrested protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline –140 in the last week alone. This after the tribe sued the federal government in July, stating that they were not properly consulted about the construction project.
One underlying reason for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's opposition to the construction of the oil pipeline is the tribe's concern about safe drinking water. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe lawsuit argues that the US government failed to properly consider the potential risks of the pipeline construction to the source of the Tribe's drinking water.
Courts have twice denied the tribe's request to stop the pipeline construction for now, agreeing with the government's position that the Tribe was not sufficiently able to show that they were likely to win their lawsuit.
How to support Standing Rock and confront what it means to live on stolen land
A month after President Obama told the Army Corps of Engineers to pause construction on the Dakota Access oil pipeline, the Standing Rock Sioux and those supporting them still find themselves in a dire struggle to protect their water and land. With winter approaching, the 300 tribes that are now represented at the Camp of the Sacred Stone in North Dakota are preparing for a lengthy battle.
In their effort to protect water, life, ancestors and future generations, indigenous peoples are also demanding that corporations, the U.S. government, and settlers respect the treaties and indigenous self-determination. This is widening an existing dialogue and expanding ties of solidarity to include more of us who are of white European descent occupying indigenous land.

It's a bit of humor suddenly made menacing with the excavation work on the Trans-Pecos Pipeline of Energy Transfer Partners taking place a few miles to the west, an object of derision for roughly 200 people who marched from town Friday to rattle the construction fence during a Big Bend Stands with Standing Rock march in Alpine, Texas.
North Dakota's Standing Rock Sioux aren't backing down to oil pipeline developers
On Thursday, nonviolent protesters outside North Dakota's Standing Rock Sioux reservation entered their second day of confrontation with private security and local law enforcement. Armed with drums, tribal flags, and cell phones, demonstrators moved to block the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, a $3.7 billion dollar crude-oil conduit slated to cut just 1,000 feet from the perimeter of native land. Confrontations began on Wednesday, August 10, when construction crews and private security hired by Energy Transfer Partners, the Texas-based developers overseeing the pipeline, arrived to break ground. Arrests were made beginning Thursday, as 14 protesters were charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing, while dozens more remained defiantly on site.
Thursday's arrests represented a sharp break after months of quiet occupation on the site. Organizers, led by Standing Rock Sioux, established Camp of the Sacred Stones in April, after learning of the impending project. Concerned that the pipeline would wreak havoc on the sacred sites and delicate wildlife in the area, a group of about 30 indigenous tribal members and allies moved to occupy the proposed construction site. "This is a prayer camp movement to save our sacred land and water and has been entirely supported by the people and the campers," the group wrote online. LaDonna Brave Bull Allard, a tribal historian and organizer, was confident as she spoke to reporters in April. "We will stop it. We have prayer with us."

A few weeks ago, my vacuum cleaner died on me. Fortunately, it was still under warranty so, I sent it for repair. Fast forward a couple of weeks later, I received a phonecall. A young lady with a sweet voice greeted me from the other side…
Customer service: "Hi Mr. Ooi, I am Sweetvoice calling from Acme appliances. You sent your vacuum cleaner for a warranty claim 2 weeks ago?"
Me: "Hi, yes I did. Any problem?"
Customer service: "Oh, no problem at all. Just calling you to tell you that it's done. We had to replace its motor."
Me: "Great! So when can I collect the vacuum cleaner?"
Customer service: "Ermm, collect the vacuum cleaner? I… don't know."
Me: "So it's not available for collection yet?"
Customer service: "I… don't think so."
Me: "Then, what is this phone call all about?"
Customer service: "To tell you about the repair, that it has been completed."
Me: "No, I'm confused. So, you called to tell me that it's completed but I can't collect it?"
Customer service: "I… don't know. Let me check with my senior…"
Me: "Ok…"
[she put me on hold, came back about 15 secs later]
Customer service: "Sorry Mr. Ooi, I'm actually new at work. I don't know what should I do next. I'll call you back when I have more information…" [kept on apologizing profusely…]
Me: "Ok…"
It's a wonder how a sweet voice could have averted disaster of people shouting at her for being such a screw up.

HAMPTON -- Among the dozens of guests attending the 40th anniversary of The Auxilium School were nearly three generations of the Beshada family.
HAMPTON -- Among the dozens of guests attending the 40th anniversary of The Auxilium School were nearly three generations of the Beshada family.
"I was too old to go here," said Leo Beshada, of Stillwater, "but my brother did."
Later in the conversation, the retired police officer noted his brother, Daniel, attended the same time as his son, Jason, and daughter, Jessica Garrigan, who sat beside him with her daughters, Addison, 4, and Avery, 3, current students of the school.
On Sunday, the school, which was once known as Camp Auxilium Learning Center, celebrated its founding in 1977.
Although the program has been trimmed to eliminate kindergarten classes and care for the very youngest, the school remains a focal point of many Sussex County families.
Leo Beshada said with a slight laugh that children from his former marriage and stepchildren all ended up at the school when they were young.
"They became best friends, and still are," he said.
And, although he didn't attend the school, as a parent, he volunteered his services as much as possible. "When they'd have an event, I'd come over, direct traffic. help out where I could."
Garrigan said some of her fondest memories were the outdoor activities, "like feeding the ducks, going frogging," on the shores of the ponds on campus.
A speech therapist, she said those activities didn't affect her choice of a professional career, "but it's carried over into my personal likes and hobbies. I still love the outdoors."
And, she notes, when her daughters come home, singing a song they learned that day, "I join in. I still remember the words to most of them."
She noted that the school hasn't changed much from the early '90s when she was there "from like, three years old through kindergarten."
"This hall hasn't changed a bit. There's still shelves over there and the big building blocks," she said, pausing, "I think they may still be the same ones. The girls love them."
Beshada said his best memories are the staff of teachers, both the sisters and lay people.
"They are so upbeat with the kids," he said.
The school and extensive grounds, which includes apartments for the sisters, is owned by The Missionary Society of the Salesian Sisters and some of the earlier teachers from the sisterhood returned to the Hampton campus for Sunday's anniversary.
Current school director Sister Isabel Garza said in an interview last week that lack of funds has forced some cutbacks, such as the kindergarten and care for those two and under, but the traditions have continued.
The day's events included Mass and then a luncheon in the main assembly hall.
Sister Garza said she wanted to thank several area businesses that contributed to the luncheon. They include Fredon Deli, Dominicks, Hayek's, Tuscany Bistro and Acme, Weis and Shop-Rite supermarkets.

ProsA fun entertaining game that allows you to be creative with the decorating and look of the farm.
Friends can visit the farm.
New items and upgrades are introduced on a regular basis
Gifts from friends will assist you in making money for machinery
ConsIt can become a way to spend too much time online
It is a bit more involved than some of the other online applications
Full ReviewThere are many Facebook applications available for games and many of them are similar. Many have the plow, plant and harvest aspect to them. Some applications even have you planting row after row of fresh veggies on deserted islands.
There is one application that provides a more hands on and realistic approach. Country Life is a simulation type of game on the social platform Facebook, the difference is in the game play. Once you plant your crops and have them harvested , instead of just going directly to the market with your product, you have to make a decision.
Decisions Decisions
Do you want to hold onto some of that clover you just harvested in order to feed it to the cow since this will allow the cow to make milk? Once you have the ability to make milk, do you want to hold onto that milk to turn it into cheese. These are the types of decisions that need to be made all through the game. The decisions that you make will help you as you level and will add to the enjoyment of the game.
Decisions while Leveling
At different levels you will learn new techniques and have more opportunities become available for you. These level changes will speed you along and keep the game from becoming boring for you. Since you have to save up quite a bit of money for some of the equipment and tools that will allow for the creation of a more rare item. Holding onto your money in order to buy a beehive will mean the difference between selling the honey to the market and being able to make jam later when you are at level 20. The game creators have structured all of the levels to allow for time to make these important decisions and still make money for the special purchases. Some of the expensive purchases will be the jam machine, the cheese machine and an irrigation method. Even with the more expensive purchases they typically have the ability to make even more money for you in the long run.
A well running farm will want a nice home and a decorative yard. These items are available and will increase the value of your farm. Along with the tools and machinery in your farm, having woodpiles and a firepit along with the other decorative items will make the farm feel like home. Each upgrade adds more items to make the farms nicer for the player.

Defenders of Anhalter Bahnhof, Berlin. 24 April 1945
Any more information on that one?. I'm curious. Very curious.
Quote from: Torenico on 08-03-2019, 02:03:21Any more information on that one?. I'm curious. Very curious.Willi Saeger was a German press photographer who followed the movements of scattered infantry, police and Volkstrum elements in the centre of Berlin, late April 1945. You can find more pictures from the same roll here: https://www.bpk-bildagentur.de/shop and search for 30021094, 30020671, 30020665, 30016555
Holy shit!, I actually never seen photos from the German side during the Battle of Berlin, this is a great find. Shame it has the watermark, but great find nonetheless!.

Southern states can present pet health issues. Hot, humid climates have challenges, especially for pets that are not used to the extreme temperatures. Wildlife, pests and plant life indigenous to the state can be serious health threats. This is true of pet health in Texas, which is why it's a good idea to check out the best pet insurance and coverage options in Texas.
Texas Pet Laws
• Rabies: Texas, like most states, has particular laws that pet owners must abide by. Rabies is an ongoing concern in most states, but due to so much uninhabited land in Texas, rabies is a very real threat to pets. Texas requires that cats and dogs, age 12 weeks of age or older must be vaccinated against rabies and have a certificate that reflects that. The rabies vaccination must be given every three years.
• Spaying and Neutering: Texas requires that all animals up for adoption in shelters must be spayed or neutered before they are adopted. Some pet health insurance companies offer limited coverage for spaying and neutering.
• Quarantine: Any pet entering the country that is less than three months of age must be confined at home until it reaches three months and can have its rabies vaccination.
Pests and Toxic Plants
Like many southern states, Texas has mosquitoes. As mosquitoes carry diseases affecting both humans and pets, it's important to be proactive in preventing diseases in pets. Heartworm is very prevalent in southern states because it is spread by mosquitoes.
Ticks are also a problem in Texas. It's important for you to be diligent about your yard maintenance and watch for ticks on your pets. Pets are naturally curious and will investigate interesting wildlife like snakes. They will also eat vegetation that could be poisonous. Be very careful when using any pesticides, however, as they can be poisonous to animals. Read the labels carefully.
Hot climates usually influences more pools. Most people in areas of the country with extreme heat have at least a small pool in their yard. Pools can be life-threatening to pets, as not all pets are good swimmers. If pets are not used to a pool and fall in, they may have trouble getting out. The sides are too slippery for them to negotiate and they may quickly become exhausted and drown. Chlorine and other pool chemicals can be poisonous, too. Never leave your pet unattended around a pool.
Texas Pet Insurance Coverage
Check into pet insurance coverage in Texas as there may be items that are particular to the state or different areas of the state.

Russian hackers have stolen 1.2 billion username and password combinations and 500 million email addresses, calling it "the hack of the century," The New York Times reported Monday.
But The Verge raised questions — the security firm who found records of the hacks, Hold Security, is trying to make money off the hullabaloo by charging a $120 subscription fee to those who want to check and see whether or not their cyber security has been compromised. This is because Hold Security refuses to release the names of victims in the security breach.
Chief Information Security Officer Alex Holden said it would be dangerous to release any names, citing "vulnerability."
"Hackers did not just target U.S. companies, they targeted any website they could get, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to very small websites," Holden told The New York Times. "And most of these sites are still vulnerable."
But The Verge believes Holden's reluctance to release names prevents the media from evaluating just how severe the damage of the hack is, especially since Hold Security claims 1.2 billion usernames are compromised. After all, The Verge points out, there aren't very many internet services that can boast billions of users. If any of those giants did experience security breaches — and here we're talking about companies like Facebook and Google — then Hold Security probably would have told us.
So just how big — and how serious — is this Russian hack?
Cyber security and privacy attorney Richard Martinez seems to believe The Times' investigation is right on, warning that the security breach might be even bigger than it seems.
"The potential target zone of companies that are affected by this is much larger than the ones initially impacted by the breach," Martinez told Fox News. "As staggering as the scale of this is right now, it may well be much larger."

For starters, our local bird rehabilitators came into possession of a large fledgling White-winged Dove right at the beginning of June. It came to them through a vet clinic. When queried, the vet reported that the person who brought in the bird had found it walking around in Daffin Park in mid-town Savannah.
Through the years, Steve Wagner has occasionally reported a White-winged Dove visiting his yard in nearby Ardsley Park. Could this be a first breeding record for the state?? Wish we had more info!

I went down 15th Street, the street by the Breakfast Club, and about 2/3 of the way down found one Gray Kingbird perched on the wire. It was right near a power pole with lots of added electrical hardware. As I watched, it flew off and then flew to a nearby palm tree. When I checked, I found the second Gray Kingbird settled onto the nest. Hooray!

Test DB gets error "The driver class 'org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver' could not be loaded" [closed]
I am trying to set up a "test" database. I copy the existing .odb file with some related files and the \database and \driver subfolders to a new directory and rename the .odb file. When I try to do a Data > Refresh on a related .obt file, I get the above error. I tried changing the DataSource URL in the Database Properties to reflect the new name of the .odb file, but the change continually reverts to the original file name. The files are originally downloaded via the Dropbox client to my system. Is there someway this can be resolved?
Closed for the following reason
question is not relevant or outdated by

Does the error message start with "The connection to the data source "XXXXX" could not be established"? Also, not sure about ".obt file"? Could you explain that file type?

Etihad Airways to redefine cabin experience
Etihad Airways, the United Arab Emirates' national carrier, is to embark on a long-term design programme that will define its future cabin experience, Design Week can reveal.
The project will be undertaken by a consortium comprising product design groups Design Acumen and Factory Design, as well as Honour Branding and research group Promise, which together won an 'extensive global pitch' in November.
Design Acumen and Factory Design will develop the 3D elements, from the nose to the tail of the aeroplane, while Honour Branding will lead on brand strategy for the project, aided by Promise.
The contract is being billed as 'the most sought-after in aviation', as the paucity of longer-term briefs grows, according to an Honour Branding spokeswoman. 'This is the project that everyone has been after. Etihad is a very successful and very wealthy airline, and that is reflected in its investment for the future,' says the spokeswoman.
Etihad, which is thought to operate a fleet of about 38, last July made aviation history by placing what is believed to be the largest aircraft order ever at the Farnborough International Airshow. The carrier ordered a fleet of 100 Airbus and Boeing aeroplanes at a time when the aviation industry is suffering a slump due to fuel prices.
The Airbuses are expected to be delivered between 2011 and 2015, while the Boeings are due to be handed over by 2015. The critical path – or development schedule – of the cabin is governed by the delivery of the aircraft, according to aviation specialists. It is thought the new fleet was the stimulus for this latest project.
Etihad commissioned Landor Associates – which executed the first aeroplane interiors fit-out, now five years old – to review its brand and service proposition almost two years ago (DW 14 June 2007).
The consultancy is understood to have developed brand positioning, identity, livery and lounge environment, but it was never implemented, because of disagreements at client board level. Landor was no longer working with Etihad last year.
Etihad Airways Design History:
2007 – Landor Associates undertakes wholesale review
2008 – Unveils airport lounge and retail design programme, designed by Above Consultancy (DW 27 February 2008)
2009 – To develop passenger and cabin experience
