Clayton and I have attended Horse3-Head, Heart, Hooves as spectators many times in previous years. For 2014, we were asked by our friends, Jamie and John Tilley of Tilley’s Custom Colts and Horsemanship if we would supply colts for a halter breaking demo that they would be doing at Horse3 (in addition to John being one of the three judges for the Trainer’s Challenge). Needless to say we were just a little excited to have our colts showcased at Horse3. So, we left three colts untouched after our March Halter Breaking & Young Horse Handling clinic (also done by Jamie and John), loaded them up and brought them to the bright lights and concrete of the Keystone Center.
Along for the ride were CRR Playboys N Jack (Playboys Luv Chics X Miss Twisted Jack), CRR Ima Foxy Chic (Playboys Luv Chics X Discos Foxy Roxy), CRR Chic A Rumba (Playboys Luv Chics X Sea Breeze Please) and CRR Little Luvr Boy came along for moral support as he was already halter broke and a nice calming influence for these yearlings that have never ‘been to town’. We are all about making things as good as they can be for the horse, and if that means having a buddy to hang out with in a ‘big scary round pen’, then that’s what we’ll do. John had two hours each day to work our yearlings and answer some excellent questions from the audience.
Things changed up a little bit on Sunday and for one session, Bob Kaufman joined John in the round pen and together, they worked two fillies from Bridgeman Land and Livestock.
Check out the photos that I had the opportunity to take over the weekend. Keep in mind, the three colts we brought in were unhalter broke and quite unhandled before they got there. John was able to show us a bit of progression with both the CRR Playboys N Jacks and CRR Ima Foxy Chic in being able to work with them multiple times, while CRR Chic A Rumba was only worked on Sunday. By Sunday, CRR Playboys N Jacks was leading well; over the ground poles, over the bridge, between the barrels and trailer loading. John had also touched him all over with the horsemanship flag and his hands. We are confidenct that these yearlings have a great foundation that will serve them well throughout the rest of their lives.

Editor Joe Bini discusses how he helped craft a visually striking, subjective film by experimenting in the edit. This is the third feature in our Special Issue on You Were Never Really Here now available as an eBook.
At 90 minutes, You Were Never Really Here is pared down to the bare essentials: not a frame is out of place; every shot has a purpose. Editor Joe Bini intricately weaves together a dense tapestry of visual information, immersing us in the unravelling mind of hitman Joe (Joaquin Phoenix), creating both distress and suspense.
I talked to Bini about the different ways he experimented with the footage, cutting dialogue scenes versus image-based scenes, and being aware of ‘emotional time’.
Seventh Row (7R): How did you approach immersing us in Joe’s subjective headspace?
Joe Bini (JB): I always try to do things that make me look at the rushes in a different way. And when I say ‘rushes’, it’s not just picture: we consider sound design to be rushes. We consider music to be rushes. We like to get them as early as possible. [Sound designer] Paul Davies has worked with [director Lynne Ramsay] her whole career, so he’s providing sound from the very beginning.

And so what do you do when you have the day of? You of course start cooking like a maniac! And in between all the cooking I also had to have lunch. I still had some prawns in the freezer and they’re pretty easy to work with even in their frozen state. I normally always defrost as I kind of feel it is easier to keep track if they are done or not, when they’re thawed. But this was quick and easy and the prawns turned out quite good.
For making this I used a recipe from Nomnompaleo where she makes a whole30 approved sriracha. It’s spicy and delicious and works perfectly here. If it’s too much for you, adding a tiny bit of honey will take the kick out of it.
If you’re on a whole30 keep in mind that fish sauce usually contains a bit of sugar. I haven’t been able to find one without but I love the stuff so use it anyway.
For the sriracha I use a recipe by Nomnompaleo. Link is in the recipe for that. Add an extra half hour for preparing that!
Break the eggs in a bowl and add the fish sauce and 1 tbsp of the sriracha. Mix well to combine.
Heat a pan and pour half of the egg mixture into it, swirling the pan to make a thin omelette. Wait until the top is dry and than take it out of the pan, fold in half. repeat for the second one.
Delicious flavours and mouthwatering Asian omelette.

Speak Schmeak: You don't hate public speaking. You're doing it right now.
You don't hate public speaking. You're doing it right now.
Let's talk about all the ways you "speak in public" every day.
You meet new people at a party.
You ask for help at Best Buy.
You run a meeting at work.
You ask a question at a meeting at work.
You order a sandwich at Subway.
You talk on your cell phone while you're walking down the street.
You persuade your coworkers to adopt a new practice.
You tell a story while hanging out with your friends.
You publish posts on a blog, tweets on Twitter or messages on Facebook that reach hundreds or thousands of people.
Technically, the definition of public speaking involves presenting to a group of people in a structured setting with an outcome in mind. But all of the above examples involve you speaking out loud in front of people.
So why is it so much more nervewracking when you prepare content for a predetermined presentation to a group of people?
1. You're afraid of forgetting what you were going to say.
Hmmm. Doesn't that happen every day in conversations with your friends and coworkers? But in that setting, it's not the end of the world if you lose your place in a story. You just back up and keep going. You can do this in a presentation, too. The audience won't judge you any more than your friends will. In fact, the audience will be a lot nicer about it than your friends!
2. You're afraid of being judged.
You post comments to the world on Twitter and Facebook, and talk to your boyfriend on the phone while sitting in Starbucks, and certainly people are judging you. We all judge each other all the time; it's a fact of life. But that doesn't mean that people aren't supportive and interested in what you have to say.
The reality is that people form impressions of you based on what you say, what you write, how you dress, how you do your hair. There's no way to escape it, so be who you are, face your audience with confidence and let go of the concern for what people think of you.
3. You're afraid of looking foolish.
You ask for help all the time. You ask for directions, you ask which router is better than another one, you ask the postal clerk which shipping method is fastest or least expensive. You're not expected to know everything in the "real world," so why do you pressure yourself to know everything when you're giving a presentation?
Of course, you're the expert on your topic, and you should know what you're talking about. But nobody knows everything about everything. There are probably people in the audience who know things that you don't know. So why not incorporate that into your presentation?
Embrace the learning that comes with a diverse audience. Ask them to share their experiences and knowledge. If you don't know something, say so and ask if anyone else has an answer. No big deal.
4. You're afraid of being boring.
Guess what: No one wants to hear your cell phone conversation, either. That's really boring to most people. But when you're speaking to an audience, they've come specifically to hear you speak. They want to hear what you have to say. So right there, you're already ten times more interesting than to most people you encounter in a day!
Now just make sure that you've learned about your audience and taken into account what they care about and what they want to know. Make sure that you've researched what makes them tick, and make sure that you've thought of some ways to interact with them so the whole presentation isn't about you. You will not be boring. I promise.
These are just a few examples of how the "public speaking" you do every day translates over into a formal presentation. Give it some thought, and you'll realize that you're always speaking in public. How can you take that information and apply it in other settings?

text: Answer : Explanation : Dealing with primitives as objects is easier at times. Most of the objects collection store objects and not primitive types. Many utility methods are provided by wrapper classes. To get these advantages we need to use wrapper classes. As they are objects, they can be stored in any of the collection and pass this collection as parameters to the methods. Features of the Java wrapper Classes:- Wrapper classes convert numeric strings into numeric values.- The way to store primitive data in an object.- The valueOf() method is available in all wrapper classes except Character- All wrapper classes have typeValue() method. This method returns the value of the object as its primitive type.

I’ve heard people refer to their Google listing in many different ways. Some people say Google Maps listing, Google My Business listing, Google Local listing, Google Places listing, Google+ Local listing, Google listing, etc.
So which is it? What’s the right way to say it and why?
I ended up consulting with Ben Fisher a Google My Business Top Contributor to make sure I had my facts straight, so thanks Ben!
Should You Say Google My Business Listing or Google Maps Listing?
The current correct terminology is your “Google My Business” listing. Your Google My Business (also referred to as GMB) listing can show up in many places. One of them is on Google Maps. Therefore, it would be correct to say your Google My Business listing shows up on Google Maps, not your Google Maps listing shows up on Google.com. Obviously, if you said either, most of us would know what you were referring to but I wanted to address this since Google has made many changes over the years.
If you really want to dive deep into all the past changes in local read A Brief History of Google’s Local Search Efforts, and for a more recent recap read, Timeline of Local SEO Changes in 2018.
Just to be clear, Google+ is Google’s social media platform and it is not the same as your Google My Business listing. For a while, Google did entangle the two but began separating them in 2015.
So now that we know what it’s called, where can Google My Business listings show up?
When Google says “Search and Maps” where exactly does that mean? Well, “Search and Maps” are two different Google properties and each has several places that you can access them.
These could be accessed on desktop devices, mobile devices, web browsers and apps. Here is a summary of the main places you can use Google Search and Google Maps to view Google My Business listings.
There are different types of Google search results so I wanted to go into a little more detail so that you’d know exactly what I was referring to above.
Local Pack – These are Google My Business results in a small pack of three listed just before organic results on google.com.
Local Finder – These are Google My Business results you see when you click on “More Places” under the Local Pack results on google.com.
Organic Results – These are results for websites, not Google My Business listings. They are below the Local Pack.
Local Knowledge Panel – This is a single Google My Business result listed on the right hand side of google.com. This only appears if Google is sure you are searching for one specific business.
Google Maps – These are Google My Business results found at google.com/maps. You can also get to them from google.com by clicking on the “Maps” tab underneath the search bar.
TIP: Whitespark’s Local Rank Tracker tracks all of these results for you!
Where Can You Make Edits to a Google My Business Listing? And What’s The Difference?
You are able to make edits to Google My Business listings from several different locations. Some places allow you to edit more fields on a Google My Business listing than others. It’s important to note that any Google user can suggest and make edits, they may not be approved, especially if the business listing is owner verified; however, in some cases they are. This is another reason why it’s important to claim your Google My Business listing, it allows for control over the business information, as well as, prevents misinformation from being publsihed about your business.
I have listed them in order from most editable fields to least editable fields.
This is the most effective way to edit a Google My Business listing and allows you to have the most control by far. If you own the listing you should make changes here. If you don’t own your listing, you should claim and optimize it; check out Whitespark’s how-to guide for optimizing a Google My Business listing.
If you do not own the listing you can suggest edits from these locations listed below. You have more editing capability in the Local Knowledge Panel and Google Maps vs the Local Pack and Local Finder. If you click into one of the listings in the Local Pack or click “More Places” in order to view the Local Finder, you will have more limited editing capabilities.
Whew! So now that you know what to call it, where to find it and how to edit it, what are you waiting for? Now try to rank it!

Very well written. An excellent work of reference. Thank you for your time and effort.
With so many name changes over the years, I’ve stuck with calling it your Google Maps listing and customers can actually relate to that name.
Disagree. I think the correct name is a Google PlaceID. The PlaceID is viewed in Google Maps or edited/managed in GMB.
So what does “local seo” mean to you guys/gals?
I had a GMB Product Manager on the phone last week that called the Knowledge Panel, Place Sheet. Great article!
Just when you get used to referring to something by a certain title, Google decides to change and rename it! I’ve also referred to it as the Google Maps listing which is now called Google My Business listing at least for now.

where can you make edits to a google my business listing? and what’s the difference?
you are able to make edits to google my business listings from several different locations. some places allow you to edit more fields on a google my business listing than others. it’s important to note that any google user can suggest and make edits, they may not be approved, especially if the business listing is owner verified; however, in some cases they are. this is another reason why it’s important to claim your google my business listing, it allows for control over the business information, as well as, prevents misinformation from being publsihed about your business.
i have listed them in order from most editable fields to least editable fields.
this is the most effective way to edit a google my business listing and allows you to have the most control by far. if you own the listing you should make changes here. if you don’t own your listing, you should claim and optimize it; check out whitespark’s how-to guide for optimizing a google my business listing.
if you do not own the listing you can suggest edits from these locations listed below. you have more editing capability in the local knowledge panel and google maps vs the local pack and local finder. if you click into one of the listings in the local pack or click “more places” in order to view the local finder, you will have more limited editing capabilities.
whew! so now that you know what to call it, where to find it and how to edit it, what are you waiting for? now try to rank it!
dani owens is the owner of pigzilla. she has been working in the digital marketing space since 2011. as a local seo consultant for smbs and white label seo provider for digital agencies, she fills her time by designing and implementing comprehensive local seo programs for single location, multi-location and service area businesses.
very well written. an excellent work of reference. thank you for your time and effort.
with so many name changes over the years, i’ve stuck with calling it your google maps listing and customers can actually relate to that name.
disagree. i think the correct name is a google placeid. the placeid is viewed in google maps or edited/managed in gmb.
so what does “local seo” mean to you guys/gals?
i had a gmb product manager on the phone last week that called the knowledge panel, place sheet. great article!
just when you get used to referring to something by a certain title, google decides to change and rename it! i’ve also referred to it as the google maps listing which is now called google my business listing at least for now.

Wow, that's quite the cookie name huh? Try saying that 5 times fast. Just kidding! Sunday I got the itch to get in the kitchen and bake cookies, these were on my mind and no, they did not last long in our house.
A lot of my favorite cookie flavors are combined into one. You've got a nice chewy peanut butter oatmeal base. I then added in both white chocolate and butterscotch chips. It's quite the perfect combination if you ask me.
Don't those look yummy? Go make yourself a batch....right now. If they're gone within a day, I won't judge and I won't blame you.
It's going to get quite hot and humid here in the midwest these next few days. We'll definitely be spending any time outdoors in the early hours. I'm thinking lots of water play for the kids. It will also be interesting trying to keep my house cool as I have a good sized wedding to bake for on Thursday and Friday. I'll share some pics on Monday. Stay cool!
Melt butter and peanut butter together in the microwave, in 30 second intervels. Remove and let cool. Combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Mix butter and peanut butter with both sugars. Add in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Gradually add in dry ingredients and mix well. Fold in white chocolate and butterscotch chips. If dough seems a little too dry add in a splash of milk, I did this with mine.
Using a medium sized cookie scoop, place dough balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.

When you want to finance or lease equipment as a small business there are a couple of different ways to do so. The most important thing to understand is that just about any asset used to conduct a business could be considered “equipment.” You have the choice to either lease or finance an equipment acquisition.
For many years the two methods were very different from an accounting standpoint, but after recent changes to the Generally Accepted Accounting Standards, they are now pretty close to the same thing. Although the differences are subtle this blog post discusses what they mean and how they can help you make the best decision when your business needs equipment.
What do you consider equipment? By definition, any tangible assets, other than real property or the building in which you work could be considered business equipment. This includes just about everything from heavy equipment to custom or prepackaged software could be financed or leased.
When you finance you own the asset and provide it as collateral for a loan.
When you lease, the leasing company owns the asset and allows you to use it for a monthly fee. Generally, at the end of the initial term of the lease, the asset ownership converts to you for a nominal fee, usually $1.00. If you choose to lease be sure that you carefully read the document that pertains to ‘equipment ownership’ and what you must do to advise your leasing company of your intent to buy the equipment at the end of the lease term.
Both Equipment Financing and Equipment Leasing accomplish the same thing, they allow you to add the equipment you need to grow your business or simply replace an asset for a fixed monthly expense. In our opinion, financing is much cleaner and safer than leasing. If you want more detail on this just call and we’ll gladly answer your questions.

The veneration of the mortal remains of loved ones is nothing new. Nor can it be said to be distinctly Catholic; for it is a distinctly human practice that spans all ages, cultures, and religious inclinations.
Veneration simply means “to give great respect.” Thus, at its most basic understanding, to venerate the relics of loved ones is to give great respect to those things that one’s loved ones have left behind; including their bodies.
Every time an agnostic visits the grave (and thus the bones) of his deceased relative, for example, or an Evangelical Christian clings to the shirt of her dearly beloved grandmother, the veneration of relics—though not necessarily as an act of religious piety—takes place. The veneration of the material remains of loved ones seems to be a universal impulse of the human person; and the Catholic Church takes this natural human impulse and—as she does so often—elevates the custom to a supernatural level and dignity.
Christian relics are the material remains—and not always the bodily remains—of the saints or even Christ himself. They are typically organized into three classes. Third class relics are material items that have been touched to the saints, or to their bodies or personal possessions. Second class relics were personal possessions of the saints. First class relics are the actual body or fragments of the body of the holy ones.
The seven sacraments of the Church are visible signs that reveal and effect invisible realities. They are also the seven primary ways through which God communicates grace; that is, the free gift of his life and the power to be holy. But of course God is not bound by the sacraments for he is the omnipotent creator and curator of them. He can give grace in other ways if he so wishes. Relics are sacramentals (as are, for example, crucifixes and statues of the saints). By virtue of them being sacramentals, they are not sacraments. Rather they exist to prepare us to receive the sacraments (see CCC 1677). Thus sacramentals are not be looked at; they are to be looked along.
At the fullness of time God did the unthinkable and took on flesh; and he sanctified matter by becoming man. Ancient testimonies, both Christian and non-Christian, tell us that the carpenter from Nazareth was a walking wonder worker; and it was often through matter—whether through mud, loaves, fish, water, or human touch—that the Maker of all matter worked those supernatural deeds. The Christ had a soft spot for matter; and apparently he still does.
Now just as God works directly through his sons and daughters on earth, he also works through other things that have been made.
As I have said, the veneration of relics is not a distinctly religious thing; nor is it a distinctly Catholic thing; nor is it a distinctly Christian thing. Neither are the working of miracles through relics a distinctly Christian thing. In the Old Testament the coat of Elijah (after he had ascended to heaven) is tossed into a raging river only to part the waters and allow safe crossing (see 2 Kings 2). A few chapters later the bones of the prophet Elisha contact another man’s mortal remains at the bottom of a pit—and the man returns to life (2 Kings 13:20-21).
In the New Testament the examples of God working miracles through lowly material things are multiplied. St. Peter’s shadow (a privation rather than a positive thing, and yet still a fitting vessel of grace) in Luke’s Acts Of The Apostles serves as a blanket of healing—and the hopeful and faith-filled sick line the streets that they might touch God’s grace through the shadow of Peter (see Ch. 5:12-15).
When the handkerchiefs and aprons of St. Paul are touched to the sick and demon-stricken, healing flows from the hand of God through these (presumably used) handkerchiefs of the apostle (Acts 19:11-12). And of course, there is the example of our Lord’s cloak—that even at the touch of the hem (and not directly his body) a woman is cured of her hemorrhage by the power of God (Matt 9:20-22). ““If I only touch his garment, I shall be made well,” believed the woman; and she was right.
Religious relics are not magic items that hold power in and of themselves; they are vessels. The power of God is not contained in the saints’ relics—be they bones, books, or badly damaged running shoes—but rather, the power of God works along the relics, just as our veneration (and adoration) runs along them in the other direction. Relics are vehicles empowered by the grace of God.
For the Protestant and skeptic, the greatest difficulty in this matter of relics lies in the use of human remains for religious rites. Although the beautifully tear-jerking Martyrdom of Polycarp of the mid-second century does, in fact, mention the prayerful possession of the deceased St. Polycarp’s bones for the purpose of Christian veneration, it is true that the New Testament does not mention the veneration of bones, hair, and the like.
But the key to understanding this ancient aspect of Christian practice—and the way to make something so disagreeable agreeable—is to look to the center of the Gospel. At the center of the Gospel lies the resurrection of Christ; and the resurrection of Christ is only the beginning of a great rising that will take center stage at the end of time when all men and women are reunited with their long-corrupted bodies. Although our resurrected bodies will be radiantly beautiful, incorruptible, and unrestricted by the laws of physics, as St. Thomas suggested after prayerfully drawing from the Scriptures, our bodies will still be our bodies. Our resurrected bodies will be new; but they will not be different. They will not be different in the sense that they will still be our own, but more fully alive; fully alive, in fact.
The resurrection is the key to understanding the Christian practice of venerating relics; for we have the promise of a new heaven and a new earth when God will finally reconcile all things—material and immaterial—to Himself. And because the resurrection of the body is our real and promised destiny there remains an interminable, though mysterious, link between our corruptible bodies in this life and the souls that, only for a time, are separated from our body at death.
Relics are, in the end, perhaps just one more way for God to remind us that He is not finished with us; we are a work in progress even after death. One’s bodily death is final in the sense that what dies no longer lives; but it is not the Grande Finale where all humans will be reunited with their bodies once for all.
Yes, God raised Adam from the dust; and like Adam, to dust we will also return. But that’s not where our story ends. If our bodies are really and truly to be “temples of the Holy Spirit”, as St. Paul tells us, how fitting is it that God would make our bodies incorruptible; and work through bodily relics to remind us of that final state of bodily reality.

It's actually a goose, lol. I only know this, because The Husband is not keen on them, and didn't want to hang around to see if they actually did cross on the crossing!
Almost looks like they are guarding the entrance, like the guards at Buckingham Palace or somewhere like that. I wonder what they are protecting? Great shot!
Hope they crossed to the lake fairly quickly!

The N.H.L.’s scoring champion, Nikita Kucherov, was suspended by the league on Saturday for Game 3 of the Tampa Bay Lightning’s first-round series against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Kucherov was suspended for boarding Columbus defenseman Markus Nutivaara late in Tampa Bay’s 5-1 loss on Friday night. Kucherov was given a major penalty and ejected for hitting Nutivaara in a defenseless position with 4 minutes 26 remaining. Tampa Bay trails in the series, 2-0.
The Lightning, who had the league’s best regular-season record, will have to try to win in Columbus on Sunday without the player who put up a league-best 128 points during the season. They also could be without the banged-up star defenseman Victor Hedman, who did not practice on Saturday.
In a video announcing the suspension, the league said Kucherov’s action fell in the category of message-sending because it came in the final minutes of a one-sided game.
U.S. WOMEN REACH FINAL The United States soared into the gold medal game at the women’s world hockey championships in Espoo, Finland, by routing Russia, 8-0, behind two goals each by Hilary Knight and Kelly Pannek.
Goalie Alex Rigsby of the United States made 11 stops for her second shutout of the tournament.
Finland goalie Noora Raty, playing in her hometown, made 43 saves in sending her country past the heavily favored Canadians. The United States and Canada had met in all 18 previous world championship finals.

kucherov was suspended for boarding columbus defenseman markus nutivaara late in tampa bay’s 5-1 loss on friday night. kucherov was given a major penalty and ejected for hitting nutivaara in a defenseless position with 4 minutes 26 remaining. tampa bay trails in the series, 2-0.
the lightning, who had the league’s best regular-season record, will have to try to win in columbus on sunday without the player who put up a league-best 128 points during the season. they also could be without the banged-up star defenseman victor hedman, who did not practice on saturday.
in a video announcing the suspension, the league said kucherov’s action fell in the category of message-sending because it came in the final minutes of a one-sided game.

Istoria Transporturilor in Bucuresti - The begining of the 19-th century marks the begining of the Romanian railroads in Bucharest,changing the life and living conditions of the Romanian population. The advent of the railroads averted an opponent: the animal traction system,not long after the first ride made by the steam locomotive.
Istoria Transporturilor in Bucuresti - In 1846 31-th October the council of Viena aproved the construction of a railroad with equin traction that will transport the charcoal from Anina to Oravita.They also approved a quick construction of a normal railroad from Oravita all the way to port Bazias.
On the 20-th of August 1854 the Oravita-Bazias railroad was inaugurated only for the charcoal transportation,being the first railroad ever built in Romania. On the January 12-th 1855 it was assumed by the "Societatea Cezaro-Craiasca Privilegiata A Cailor Ferate Austriece"(St.E.G.),and after a few adjustments it became open to passenger transport.
The Danube-Bucharest channel is a 73 kilometre long canal project that is supposed to link Bucharest to the Danube via the Arges river.
Earliest plans date from 1880,being made by engineer Nicolae Cucu and had a goal at linking the Danube to Bucharest at Oltenita. In 1927 a study by Alexandru Davidescu was published at the Polytechic School and two years later the Romanian Parlament passed the law number 2749 on the building of Arges-Danube channel and of a port in Bucharest published in "Monitorul Oficial" in August 1929.
However the world recession of the early 1930's prevented the government from investing large amounts of money in such projects. Various studyes were published but as "World War II" began they were ignored.
In February 1990 ,the building of the canal was stopped although it was 60 % ready.Currently just the dam at Mihailesti and the micro-hydro plant are functional.
In 1997,Traian Basescu(who was the minister of transports at that time) anounced that the finalizing of the canal requires about 400 milion dollars and four years to be completed,but the financing was not found at that time. In 2005 Adrian Videanu(the mayor of Bucharest) anounced that he intends to finish the work.
The "Anador Group" purchased on the Vasile Lascar street the teritory that was not long ago occupied by the "Getax", a deserted and sad place.
Very few know that here,on the Teiului Street(that was the street's name in 1871) the city hall of Bucharest leased this field,by the time when the trams were still pulled by horses.Also very few know that the same organization puts across the first electrical tram line between the "Uzinele Grozaesti" and "Piata Obor" , being among the first in Europe.
Between the electrical tram lines and the ones pulled by horses takes birth a huge competition that ends in 1896 with a fusion:"Tramvaiele Unite din Bucuresti".
Better known for the elder generations is "Societatea Comerciala a Tramvaielor Bucuresti",which assumes the activity of the older society in 1916 and disables the last line pulled by horses(Line 9,which had its route right by the Vasile Lascar street) in 1929.
