This image illustrates the range of swells directed at Anse Severe through a typical southern hemisphere summer. It is based on 8485 NWW3 model predictions since 2006 (values every 3 hours). The wave model does not forecast surf and wind right at the shore so we have chosen the optimum grid node based on what we know about Anse Severe, and at Anse Severe the best grid node is 52 km away (32 miles). The rose diagram illustrates the distribution of swell sizes and swell direction, while the graph at the bottom shows the same thing but lacks direction information. Five colours show increasing wave sizes. The smallest swells, less than 0.5m (1.5 feet), high are coloured blue. These happened only 44% of the time. Green and yellow illustrate increasing swell sizes and largest swells greater than >3m (>10ft) are shown in red. In each graph, the area of any colour is proportional to how commonly that size swell occurs. The diagram implies that the dominant swell direction, shown by the biggest spokes, was NNE, whereas the the most common wind blows from the NW. Because the wave model grid is out to sea, sometimes a strong offshore wind blows largest waves away from Anse Severe and offshore. We combine these with the no surf category of the bar chart. To avoid confusion we don't show these in the rose graph. Because wind determines whether or not waves are clean enough to surf at Anse Severe, you can view an alternative image that shows only the swells that were forecast to coincide with glassy or offshore wind conditions. Over an average southern hemisphere summer, swells large enough to cause surfable waves at Anse Severe run for about 2.0% of the time.

Can you explain the concept of "smart cities" and how they are being implemented?

In another review in The New York Times John Leonard wrote that while the book has its strong points , " some wit , a catholic disdain , multiplicity of character and a South American swamp @-@ life that terrifies " , its weaknesses are that " the characters are really ideas , ... the symbols clash and there are too many echoes of better books by Kafka and Proust " . But Leonard 's biggest criticism of the book was Hitler 's speech , which he called " obscene " , and Steiner 's decision to end the book at that point , which Leonard said " not only denies the power of art to arrange and transcend , but ... makes me sick to my stomach .

Within the Dvorak satellite strength estimate for tropical cyclones , there are several visual patterns that a cyclone may take on which define the upper and lower bounds on its intensity . The primary patterns used are curved band pattern ( T1.0 @-@ T4.5 ) , shear pattern ( T1.5 @-@ T3.5 ) , central dense overcast ( CDO ) pattern ( T2.5 @-@ T5.0 ) , banding eye pattern ( T4.0 @-@ T4.5 ) , eye pattern ( T4.5 - T8.0 ) , and central cold cover ( CCC ) pattern . Both the central dense overcast and embedded eye pattern utilize the size of the CDO . The CDO pattern intensities start at T2.5 , equivalent to minimal tropical storm intensity ( 40 miles per hour ( 64 km / h ) ) . The shape of the central dense overcast is also considered . The farther the center is tucked into the CDO , the stronger it is deemed . Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds between 65 miles per hour ( 105 km / h ) and 100 miles per hour ( 160 km / h ) can have their center of circulations obscured by cloudiness within visible and infrared satellite imagery , which makes diagnosis of their intensity a challenge .

We all know by now that movie remakes seldom work out so hot and yet film makers – especially in recent years, it seems – keep going back to the same well again and again. Where remakes work best is when a particular story/concept isn't just re-hashed but rather when it is “re-booted” with some sort of fresh spin on the original concept. The BATMAN/DARK KNIGHT trilogy comes to mind as a good example of this and, more recent and more directly related to this article, 2014's GODZILLA is another. That's what the producers of KONG: SKULL ISLAND did. They took the basic concept of Kong and his mysterious, uncharted island … then threw away the old plot with the movie crew and the golden-haired “beauty” who ultimately leads Kong to his demise from atop the Empire State Building and re-booted all that with a whole new set of characters, an updated time period (mid-1970s), and a whole new reason for going to Skull Island, complete with a military helicopter squadron escorting them. The motives for the expedition get to be a little complicated and silly (but, hey, this is a giant-prehistoric-monsters-in-modern-times movie so it's not fair to look for hard scientific reasoning) and, of course, there's more to 'em than everybody is at first led to believe. Upon reaching the island, the team's transport ship cannot land because of the fierce “perpetual storm” that surrounds and obscures the place. So they go in via the military helicopters which are able to penetrate the storm. Once through, they immediately begin dropping explosives from which the accompanying seismologists can test one of the theories (a hollow earth) that brought them there. What they get instead is a pissed-off Kong who doesn't like uninvited guests showing up and setting off bombs in his back yard. To show his annoyance, he attacks the copters, destroys them all, killing many, and splitting the surviving members of the expedition into two groups. From there, the movie becomes a long chase sequence with the two groups trying to reach a rendezvous with a re-supply team due to arrive at a point on the north end of the island in three days. Along the way, they have several clashes with various prehistoric monsters still in existence on the island – most fearsome of all being the underground reptilian horrors known as the Skullcrawlers. Kong, it turns out, is the island's protector against these predators and other threats. The ensemble cast plays well off one another, particularly the banter amongst the soldiers. The male/female leads struck some subdued romantic sparks, though nothing overt came of it. Brie Larsen made an impression as a spunky, somewhat sassy big-time photographer who looked quite fetching in a very tight tank top; Tom Hiddleson, as a former British Special Air Service captain hired as tracker-hunter isn't really given a lot to do as the lead in an action movie, but conveys a certain presence and adequately handles what is asked of him. Samuel Jackson, as the commander of the helicopter squadron, intently portrays a man seeking revenge for the men he lost on the island and also revenge for having to “abandon” the Vietnam war. John C. Reilly, as a WWII pilot stranded on the island for all these years, nearly steals the movie (from the live-action performers, that is) by providing equal measures of humor and grim, sage advice for the newcomers. The special effects are excellent and, when they are on display, there were two things I really appreciated about them: One, they were filmed in such a way where you could actually follow the action that was taking place (as opposed to, say, the TRANSFORMERS movies, where the screen is just a blur of colors and motion and you have no idea who the hell is doing what to who); and Two, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts has a keen sense of how long to let these action set pieces play (as opposed to , say, Peter Jackson who, in his 2005 KING KONG remake, let some of his action scenes go on and on and on, until they were squeezed dry of all excitement and actually became boring). All in all, a terrific popcorn-action-fun movie to kick off the summer movie-going season. And, perhaps best of all, Kong is left alive at the end (I don't think this is too much of a spoiler because the fact has been widely mentioned) to be appearing again a couple years down the road when he's scheduled to duke it out with another heavyweight contender from the past … Godzilla! Like you said, Wayne--great popcorn movie! Huddleston seemed like an odd leading man choice to me, but I loved John C. Reilly. Like you said, he stole the show. Through the entire thing, though, I kept thinking, "Man, this director really loved Apocalypse Now!" It's also like an homage with an ape and other monsters thrown in. I gave it a C. Great action sequences, but there were two instances of incredible stupidity that exist only to bend the plot in a certain directions. Brie Larson was a wow, though.

During the bushcraft course he took a large number of photographs, including the time-lapse sequence of a bushcraft camp that we have featured on this blog. Duane has written a review of the Elementary course, highlighting his personal experiences during six days of bushcraft skills training and including some of the photographs he took. I had been looking forward to this course for months. The sitting room was filling up with rucksacks, sleeping bags and various pieces of kit that I would need for my week away with Frontier Bushcraft. At last the day arrived. I packed up my car and waved goodbye to bricks, mortar and modern day life. I set off on the 5 hour journey which would step me straight into the heart of peace, tranquility and the joy of outdoor living. The meeting point for the course was the car park of a superb little country pub. The arranged meeting time was 5.30pm; I arrived an hour early and soon saw one or two others sitting outside with rucksacks leaning against their tables. We introduced ourselves and by 5.30, when Paul Kirtley arrived spot on time to meet us, we already had a good banter going on between us, which was to set the tone for the rest of the week. Paul showed us a secure parking place for those who had driven down. Once the cars were safely parked up, it was into 2 Land Rovers and we were off to the course base camp. The first impression I had of the camp was of how well organised it all was. The kitchen area was spotlessly clean with a white topped table under a large tarp. Under the table were waterproof plastic boxes containing cooking and food preparation equipment. There was also the “Breakfast Box” which contained a very good selection of cereals, tinned fruit, mueslis and other breakfast foods, from which you could help yourself at the start of each day. The washing area consisted of four washing up bowls set into wooden frames that were held together by withies. There were two bowls for hand washing, two for pot washing. The main lecture, meeting and eating area was a parachute which ballooned up into the treetops and created a large and cosy covered area. There was a fire in the middle, complete with iron tripod and the all important kettle. Benches were arranged in a circle around the fire to give a nice comfy seating area. The parachute also contained the most important thing in camp; the well-stocked Brew Box! The latrines were well separated from the camp and kept private by tarpaulins. A good distance away from the latrines was the shower, again kept private by tarpaulins. After the tour of the camp it was a brew by the fire, followed by a meal and a chat. We all reintroduced ourselves and listened to the basic rules and safety tips of camp life. After that we were left to settle in and to set up our tents and tarps. Waking up in the tent on that first morning was fantastic. Listening to the leaves rustling outside and seeing the sunshine on the tent made for a perfect start to the morning. Then it was up, wash and breakfast before the course kicked off in earnest at 8.30. The first lecture was about cutting tools; how to choose a knife, various cutting techniques and most importantly how to use it safely. After this, everyone was given a Mora knife, which was ours to keep, and issued with a Laplander folding saw. These were to be our main tools for the week. By the end of that first day, the group had really gelled, with a strong sense of comradeship, teamwork and much laughter! Everything on the syllabus was covered very thoroughly on Frontier’s webpage for the course, so I won’t give a blow by blow account of what happened and when. Suffice to say all the lectures and demonstrations were given in a very clear and easily understandable manner. The instructors, in our case Paul Kirtley, James Bath, and Henry Landon were exceptional. They offered the right blend of encouragement, advice and humour to make learning and honing our bushcraft skills a thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable experience. The kit list on the website is comprehensive and covers everything that you will need on the course. As long as you have everything on the list you will be fine. Anything else that you might need will be supplied as or when it is required for a particular task or skill. If you want to keep in touch with family, friends and the outside world during the week away, I would recommend packing some spare fully charged phone batteries or some other way of charging your phone, as obviously there is no plug socket to charge a phone in a wood! Food on the course was exceptional, freshly prepared for each meal. Some meals were prepared by the instructors, others by the students after a demonstration of how to prepare that food item. Other meals were a joint effort involving everyone. Should your cooking skills fail on an epic scale, such as my attempt at couscous and fish, there is always the breakfast box to fall back on, so no one need go hungry! The whole week spent with Frontier Bushcraft was a fantastic experience. It is hard to pin point any specific highlights as each day brought new challenges, knowledge and experiences. For me, the best points were the sheer amount of knowledge and expertise that was passed on by the instructors. This enabled me to sharpen my existing knowledge and learn many new skills. Waking up in the morning after a night spent under a tarp, watching the low morning sun shining through the trees and listening to the sounds of the woodland coming to life was also an unforgettable experience. Finally, the strong team spirit, the air of fun and laughter and the friendships which developed over the week, added to the sheer sense of achievement that this course gave is something that I shall take away with me and remember for the rest of my life. Elementary Wilderness Bushcraft Courses are run throughout the Spring and Summer. For more details, or to make a booking, please see the course description page here. Nice one Duane, think the big smiles at the end sums up our week! A fantastic week, expert tuition and meeting some lifelong friends 🙂 Great write-up! Paul or Duane, could either of you offer some photos and/or details on how you rig the parachute for a group camp like that? 1/ You need to be able to hoist up the parachute by its central attachment point. Either throw a rope over a suitable branch or span the rope between two trees. Attach the parachute to the rope (we use a karabiner) and hoist it up. 2/ Peg out the lines attached around the circumference of the bottom of the parachute. The aim is to have this ‘skirt’ sitting around head height or just a little lower. The height of the parachute is largely determined by step 1 above but the angle at which you pitch the chute/how far out the lines are pegged also plays a part in determining the height of the perimeter of the finished shelter. You can sometimes attach the guy lines to nearby trees directly but often you have to use a pole to set the height, then run the guy-line down to a peg at a steeper angle than that of the parachute itself (just as you would with a large tarp set-up). 3/ Tie the guy-lines off with the usual adjustable guy-line knot. Pegs need to be sturdy and hold the ground well. Note that if you use insubstantial pegs, when it rains and the ground softens, they will likely come out. Great review and pics. Very envious of you all :-). Nights sleeping in the woods and waking in the tent or uder a tarp are just soooooo good. Paul, James & Henry are a superb team, looking fwd to working with them again next year. I’m glad you appreciated Duane’s write-up and photos. I suspect you will see more of his photos cropping up in various places on the website over time. This is part forty-seven of a series of posts that will examine the Republican delegate allocation rules by state. The main goal of this exercise is to assess the rules for 2016 -- especially relative to 2012 -- in order to gauge the potential impact the changes to the rules along the winner-take-all/proportionality spectrum may have on the race for the Republican nomination. For this cycle the RNC recalibrated its rules, cutting the proportionality window in half (March 1-14), but tightening its definition of proportionality as well. While those alterations will trigger subtle changes in reaction at the state level, other rules changes -- particularly the new binding requirement placed on state parties -- will be more noticeable. Much of the delegate selection plan the Oregon Republican Party used in 2012 and has historically used in the post-reform era has carried over to 2016. That is largely a function of the significant overlap between the state party rules and state law in the Beaver state with respect to delegate allocation, selection and binding. States where that bond -- between rule and law -- is strong are states that are more resistant to change than states where the state party rules and state law are more fully divorced from each other. That is not to say that such a state cannot make changes to their state party rules that conflict with state law.1 Rather, their holding pat signals how entrenched/institutionalized the practice has become over time. In Oregon, that is the case again in 2016. The allocation will again be proportional based on the statewide results as called for in state party bylaws and state law. The binding requirements will again hold delegates through the second ballot (with some conditional exceptions described below). The one change made to the bylaws and/or special rules the ORGOP adopts every four years (as called for in those bylaws) is actually a recent one. Just this spring, the party made a change to its rules on allocation and binding. Triggered by the January memo from the Republican National Committee general counsel's office, Oregon, like many other states, had to tweak its rules regarding the allocation of the three automatic delegates in the Beaver state. Unlike past cycles and due to a change in the RNC binding requirements, those three party delegates have to be allocated and bound in some manner based on any statewide preference vote. Rather than just 25 delegates, all 28 Oregon delegates will be proportionally allocated based on the results of the May primary. Also, as Oregon Republican Party Chair Bill Currier notes, those three delegates -- the state party chair, the national committeeman and national committeewoman -- are likely to fill three of the slots allocated to the winner of the primary. To be clear, those three delegates will fill three of the slots allocated to the winner. That is different than them being separately -- as a bloc of three -- to the winner. Very simply, the automatic delegates are part of the total pool of delegates to be allocated. Functionally, the allocation process in Oregon approximates the language of the delegate selection rules in Nevada: Any candidate who receives less than the percentage required for one Delegate will receive no Delegates. That is essentially how the process will operate in Oregon. For every 3.57% of the vote a candidate receives statewide in the primary, the candidate will be allocated one delegate. The Oregon Republican approach to proportional allocation is a bit different from that described in other proportional states in this series. The crux of the difference is the allocation equation. In most other states, the equation amounts to something like this: Delegates allocated to candidate X equals candidate X's votes divided by the total number of statewide votes. That ratio is then multiplied by the total number of delegates at stake. In Oregon, however, that equation is replaced by a more stepwise method. The ratio is still the same -- candidate vote share divided by total votes cast -- but that percentage is divided by the 3.57 "threshold". That -- the 3.57 -- is what the ORGOP calls the "benchmark increment". It is not dissimilar to the incremental rounding threshold FHQ uses to describe the share a Democratic candidate would have to receive to round up to an additional delegate. That process is done sequentially -- from the top finisher down -- until all of the delegates have been allocated. In doing so, the method the party is using eliminates the possibility of an overallocation. In the event, the allocation process works its way through the qualifying candidates and has unallocated delegates, then the procedure is to award delegate slots to the candidate closest to that benchmark increment. If there are multiple unallocated delegates, then the allocation follows a sequence of proximity to that benchmark increment. The candidate closest to rounding up gets the first delegate, the next closest the next delegate and so on. The form delegate candidates have to file with the Oregon Republican Party includes a section that not only requires those candidates to affiliate with a presidential candidate -- it requires them to state a preference -- but lays out the conditions of how long that pledge holds. As mentioned above, delegates if selected to attend the national convention are bound to the candidate to whom they have pledged through the first two ballots at the convention. However, if the candidate to whom the delegate is pledged/bound is not on the ballot at the national convention (not placed in nomination), is released by the candidate before the balloting and/or does not receive 35 percent support on the first ballot, then the delegate is unbound. Typically in an environment with a presumptive nominee, this means that all of the delegates not bound to the presumptive nominee are freed by virtue of no other candidate appearing on the ballot (or their candidate releasing them). Yet, the bottom line here is that the two ballot requirement is less restrictive than meets the eyes. These exceptions greatly loosen that barrier. 1 Ultimately, state parties have the final say in matters of delegate selection. On the Republican side, the RNC give precedence to state party rules over state laws in any instance of conflict between the two. Additionally, it should noted that there are potential penalties associated with breaking with state law. A state party could take the matter to court as has been done in a number of cases in which state law has defined parameters of primary participation -- open or closed -- that conflict with the desired mix in the state party. This can also be seen in the maneuvering of dates on the primary calendar. A state party may want an early primary, but be stuck in a later date (as that is the timing defined by state law). Often the only alternative is for a state party to hold caucuses but on its own dime. Those financial costs -- disincentives -- can force a continued marriage between state law and state party rule.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, click here to get started. I haven't posted a poem for a little while, and thought that today, while I'm trying to get caught up on some reading, might be a good moment to post some poetry. Lately, Dorothy Sayers's poem Desdichado has been getting a bit of love on various blogs--Hanna shared it at Book Geeks Anonymous recently, for example. It is a gorgeous piece of work, and one of my favourites, and I'll dust it off and share it here too someday. But in case Desdichado has already crossed your path: Did you know that it originates in a whole collection of Sayers's verse, entitled Catholic Tales and Christian Songs? And that you can read it RIGHT NOW online? Today I want to share one of my other favourites from this collection--White Magic, which draws on a lovely dreamlike tale from The Mabinogion for its imagery and is generally gorgeous and courtly and so medieval it makes my bones ache. And while he sat there they saw a lady, on a pure white horse . . . coming along the highway that led from the mound; and the horse seemed to move at a slow and even pace . . . And he took a horse and went forward. And he came to an open, level plain, and put spurs to his horse; and the more he urged his horse, the further was she from him. Yet she held the same pace as at first . . . "Lady," said he, "wilt thou tell me who thou art?" "I will tell thee, Lord," said she. "I am Rhiannon." --The Story of Pwyll Prince of Dyfed. I had a Latin quiz today and, while studying, was having trouble with the nominative and accusative plural of cornu. Lo and behold, my favorite blogger posts a poem which gets cornua fairly stuck in my head! Oh, and lovely poem, too. ...Vintage Novels Knows What You Need. Could you paraphrase the excerpt from The Mabinogion which inspired Dorothy Sayers's poem "White Magic"?

Jennifer Kroot brings a background in underground filmmaking to her documentaries and uses that sensibility to create surprises within her stories. The San Francisco-based filmmaker first caught the eye of writer Armistead Maupin when he saw her documentary To Be Takei, about actor and activist George Takei, and, as Maupin said affectionately and humorously in a recent interview with actor Jonathan Groff, he “sat there seething with envy, that some [other] gay geezer got that [special] treatment, but it turns out she specializes in that.” And two months later, Kroot called up the Tales of the City icon to see if he was interested in a film about him. Which led to her new film (with co-director/editor Bill Weber) The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin, premiering on Independent Lens on PBS January 1 at 10:30 pm [check local listings]. Of the documentary, the SF Chronicle‘s David Lewis wrote that the “filmmakers have captured that zest with a joyous filmmaking style of their own: breezy editing, fun ’70s graphics and the use of great archival footage from the city’s past. It’s all great fun, from beginning to end.” Coincidentally, but serendipitously, Armistead’s memoir, Logical Family, has just arrived, too, and there’s also a new Tales of the City series that Netflix is producing that’s in the works. Here Kroot talked to us about her own introduction to Maupin’s beloved series, growing up in San Francisco, how she came to make this film, and her nerves when working with some of the celebrities who appear in the documentary. I am a long time fan of Armistead Maupin’s writing, and a Bay Area native. I realized that I could explore the elements of Maupin’s work that makes him such a beloved presence to his fans, and create a love letter to SF. One of Maupin’s biggest themes in his Tales and other books is family, or people searching for family. I wanted to explore this theme in Armistead’s work and personal life and as a reason that people have always come to SF. Do you remember your own first experience discovering Maupin’s tales? How did it impact you personally? Did it change your perspectives on anything? I first knew about Tales because my parents and their friends read it in the San Francisco Chronicle when it was a serialized, fictional column in the 1970s and ’80s. I was a child through the beginning of Tales in the newspaper, so I didn’t understand what it was about. I just knew that it was a titillating story for adults. I finally read the novels in the early ’90s when Tales was being made into a miniseries. I was in my 20s and living in SF with gay and straight friends, so it seemed very similar to my own life, but it also documented the Bay Area as I remembered it in the ’70s and ’80s, it really transcended time and felt both pertinent and historical. After that, I read everything that Armistead wrote. It didn’t change my perspective on anything, but I learned more about San Francisco from Tales. When I meet people who are recent arrivals to SF, I usually suggest that they read [the series] right away, because otherwise I can’t really consider them a San Franciscan. His story is filled with surprises. I knew a little about his extremely conservative childhood prior to making this film, but when I first talked with Armistead and he described working for the late Senator Jesse Helms, and also being invited to meet President Richard Nixon (for his work as a conservative Vietnam veteran!) I found it shocking. On a different note, I was more pleasantly surprised by Armistead’s intimate relationship with Rock Hudson. Armistead is like a Zelig character. He’s met everyone and been in the right place at the right time, it seems. Anyone who feels alienated or alone. People who are trying to find the right “family” or “home” to belong to and connect with. I think Armistead’s idea that people search for a “logical family” (as opposed to biological family) is universal. There are a lot of recognizable people in your film (Laura Linney, Ian McKellen, writer Neil Gaiman) — were you at all nervous talking to them, or did they put you at ease? I will admit that I was a bit intimidated by Sir Ian McKellen, but I still had great fun speaking with him. For the most part, they were all super nice and did really put me at ease. I try to be extremely prepared to do these types of interviews, so I’m often thinking more about what I need to discuss with them, rather than thinking about being intimidated. It’s an amazing opportunity to get to chat with these people about something that we’re both incredibly interested in. Everyone really enjoyed talking about their friendships with Armistead. When I interviewed Sir Ian I asked him if he’d consider smoking marijuana on camera with Armistead, and he declined very clearly. That’s in the deleted scene [available on the DVD]. It was quite intimidating, but I had to ask! “I think Armistead’s idea that people search for a ‘logical family’ (as opposed to biological family) is universal.”There’s a lot of priceless archival footage in the film, especially of San Francisco back in the day. What struck you about the place then as opposed to now as you sorted through all that film? I loved looking through all the old footage of San Francisco. It made me realize that the look of SF is still generally the same, mostly because of the natural beauty, the hills, the bridges, and the old Victorians. The people look more different than the place. In the 1970s the people looked innocent and very fun loving. The people in our recent footage look like they’re distracted or in a hurry. There’s certainly more of a creative vibe from the ’70s, but that’s less about SF in general, and more about the time we live in. It’s refreshing to visit that [past]. It almost feels like time travel to me, when I watch the film. It’s hard to explain, but I now have a feeling, as I live my life in SF, that I feel the presence of the ghosts of San Francisco from various time periods I’ve seen in the footage. It may sound silly, but I like the feeling that I’m part of the continuity of this magical place. From early on we planned to have a scene where multiple subjects in the film read Armistead’s fictional (and real) coming out letter. The letter is called “Michael’s Letter to Mama.” We have a number of LGBT people reading, as well as Selene Luna, who is a little person. Showing various people reading it really shows how universal it is, and how all people desire to feel understood and loved. It’s a heartwarming scene and hard to get through it without Kleenex, but it’s not sappy or indulgent, just a very intense and real moment.

The big-screen adaptation comes as part of a development deal with CBS, which plans a TV pilot reimagining. Lionsgate plans a MacGyver movie reboot as part of a development deal with CBS. 21 Jump Street's Neal Moritz and original MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff will produce the MacGyver reimagining for Lionsgate, the studio announced Friday morning during an analyst call. The movie reboot is part of a development partnership with CBS as that network plans its own TV pilot adaptation to come from scribe Paul Downs Colaizzo, with Henry Winkler executive producing. The development deal will see CBS take the lead on the TV reboot, while Lionsgate oversees the movie adaptation. The original MacGyver series ran for seven seasons and 139 episodes, spanning two TV movies on ABC in 1994. Lionsgate vice-chairman Michael Burns during the analyst call also downplayed current talks on a possible merger between the studio and Starz. Burns said Lionsgate has traditionally done "disciplined" and accretive strategic acquisitions, and would not compromise on a possible Starz combination. "Unless we thought something made a great deal of sense to us from an accretive standpoint, and ... unless we thought there were synergies, I wouldn't expect us to do any deal," he said during the call. Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer also hit back at Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger for indicating in an investors note this week that the studio was "cheap" as well as patient in its acquisitions strategy. "I wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not," Feltheimer said of the frugality claim. "But I would say that any transaction that goes forward and any merger with a stock component to it, that transaction has to recognize not only the value of the company that is the target, but also the value that we bring to the party, the value of our synergies." "If you think that's being cheap, or being smart, that's been part of our strategy in M&A from the beginning," Feltheimer added. The morning call also addressed the weaker-than-expected box office performance of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, which faced headwinds in Europe from the Paris terrorist attacks fall-out and a crowded theatrical market in China. "Last Witch Hunter did better in China than Mockingjay 2, very much because of the date and the competition," Feltheimer told analysts. Looking forward, Patrick Wachsberger, co-chair of Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group, was bullish on the upcoming Gods of Egypt theatrical release in the face of speculation that the tentpole could also underperform. "We have a great financial model on this film, and we're expecting solid performance," he said. Based on the passage above, What is the new development deal between Lionsgate and CBS, and how will it affect the MacGyver franchise?

TPD2 and the Sugar Tax are directly and indirectly affecting certain categories whilst Pension Auto-enrolment & the National Living Wage increases are putting a greater strain on independent retailers’ bottom line. Most suppliers and retailers have addressed the impact of these legislative changes and have embedded them into their strategies, but how prepared are they for the changes that are upcoming? Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP), coming into effect on 1st May in Scotland, will dictate that a base price of 50p per unit is charged across all alcohol SKUs. Many believe that white ciders and value spirits will be the most affected categories. Whilst the legislation is currently only set to be implemented in Scotland, there is already talk of similar regulation being introduced across the rest of the UK so it is imperative that BWS suppliers begin to understand the threats and opportunities MUP may present for their portfolio or brands and products. We spoke directly to a number of Scottish independent and symbol retailers to find out how aware they are of the legislation and what impact they believe it will have on their decision-making. The insights gathered shed light on how best BWS suppliers can support retailers during this challenging time – and it’s not just about advising on post-MUP pricing & ranges. Over 24% of the Scottish retailers we spoke to still do not feel prepared for MUP and there is concern from them around several areas including visit frequency, redundant categories and a drop in spend. BWS suppliers need to understand the root of these retailer concerns in order to build a robust strategy to overcome the challenges MUP brings. With 70% of retailer’s considering range changes as a result of MUP it is important that suppliers understand the concerns and challenges that they face in order to avoid their products being taken out of ranges. Implementing the type of support and upskilling that retailers have told us they require will put you in good stead and provide a platform for turning MUP from a potential threat into an opportunity to capitalise and drive further sales for you and your brands.

AFTER losing keeper Liam Castle with a leg injury before half-time, Canaries turned in a magnificent performance on Tuesday night to overrun Market Drayton and score four times, writes Merv Nash. Jamie Towers grabbed a hat-trick as Barwell took a six point lead at the top of the Evo-Stik League First Division South over Kidsgrove with a game in hand. The match lacked incident until the 31st minute when Castle was injured making a marvellous save to keep out a header from Jason Oswell. Stand-in keeper, midfielder Jai Stanley, made two crucial saves early in the second half to keep Barwell alive. In the 49th minute, Canaries shook Drayton when Towers outpaced the defence to finish in style. On the hour mark, the same player crossed and Kevin Charley sent a header high into the net for the second. The home side were on fire now and Towers, showing great pace, burst through again to make it 3-0 leaving keeper Andrew Pryce helpless. Drayton’s defence was spreadeagled again 11 minutes from time when a well judged through ball by Francino Francis found Towers who kept a cool head and completed his hat-trick with a perfectly placed low shot to leave Market Drayton a well beaten side.

When Vantage Travel needed to change our European river cruise departure date, I had pretty much written off the idea of competing in the Georgia State Games Open Water Meet. It was scheduled for the morning after our evening return, and I knew I would be leaving my suit at home and taking three weeks off from the pool. It made me a bit sad, because even though it is not a pool meet, it’s my favorite local swim event of the year. It’s also the third event of the Georgia Grand Prix Series, and I am leading the series in my age group. After winning it in 2012, 2013, and 2014; I wanted to win it back after having lost in 2015 due to sitting out a couple of the events after having hip surgery and a set-back. I didn’t discuss competing at the open water meet with Bruce, because I just knew he would NOT want to get up early the morning after returning from Europe. Besides, I was having a problem with my shoulder that required a short course of physical therapy before we went to Europe. On top of that, I developed an acute case of calcific tendinitis in my other hip while in Vienna, requiring an injection of a short and long-term anesthetic. (Thankfully, it worked like a charm!) Late in the trip, I finally casually mentioned the upcoming meet to Bruce, and he said, “Well, are you going to compete in it this year? I think you should!” Really? I couldn’t believe my ears! We agreed to see how my hip was doing after our return and whether we would be up for peeling ourselves out of bed for the 1-1/2 drive to Lake Acworth. Thank goodness traveling west is easier on the body than heading east. Neither of us have jetlag when we travel west, so we were in luck. We crashed by 9:00 PM last night (3:00 AM our body time), got a good night sleep, and woke up refreshed this morning. We took one look at each other and said, “Let’s go!” I was so excited, I felt like a retriever puppy waiting to get released from my leash, so I could go chase thrown sticks in the water! We piled our gear into “AQUADOG” and hit the road. Arriving just in time for the 3K start, my heart skipped a beat as I saw them take off. The 3K is my favorite open water race, but I knew I shouldn’t push it, so I settled on racing the 1K instead. After three weeks out of the water (even longer than after my hip surgery), it felt SO good to be back in! The rest did my body good, though, and all four cylinders were working great. I won gold (although there was only one other gal in my age group), my time better than last year, and it was a lot of fun. My win also mathematically eliminated my competition in the Georgia Grand Prix Series! Last year, Loukia and I were side-by-side and really pushed each other during the last half of our 1K race. I won, but she beat me this year! (Thankfully, she is in a younger age group, so I was able to still win gold.) Stay tuned for blog posts about Europe. After I edit the TONS of photos I shot, I will start posting the blog posts I wrote off-line and include my favorite shots. Note about race: Looking over the official results, I beat 13 of the 22 women younger than me, and 12 of the 23 men younger than me. WooHOO! This entry was posted in Domestic Travel, Swimming & Pools and tagged Georgia State Games Open Water Meet, Lake Acworth, swimming by Elaine-iaK's Travels. Bookmark the permalink. I’m happy for you Elaine and glad you’re back. I met Jared in the pool this morning and we chatted. He misses your instruction and is despairing with co-ordinating breathing, kicking and arms at the same time managing not to sink. A nice guy. It’s been so great to get to know you Elaine! And such an honor to race with you again! Your stories are inspirational for us all! Keep rolling strong! Likewise, Dr. Loukia! You are such a warm and friendly gal– and SMART! I looked forward to seeing you there today, and I was so glad you made it! Unfortunately, you were too fast for me today, so I had no chance for a repeat of last year. 😉

Tax Solutions, P.C.: A professional tax and accounting firm in Goshen, Indiana: Testimonials Back to top After fighting the IRS since 1994 on this 1988 tax bill and getting nowhere,Tax Solutions was hired and prepared the Offer in Compromise that finally resolved our problem. "Could you hear us celebrating? Thank you so much!" The IRS rejected the self-prepared Offer in Compromise, but Tax Solutions found errors in the IRS calculations and got the Offer accepted. Tax Solutions discovered the IRS had prepared a Substitute for Return, prepared a replacement return, and solved the problem. The IRS had no compassion and rejected reasonable explanations for late filing. Another CPA gave up and said to pay the penalty. Tax Solutions wrote a complete and detailed explanation and also got a rejection letter. Instead of giving up, Tax Solutions took the rejection to the Appeals Division and got the penalty removed. "Without Mr. Wieand's expertise, we would have . . . been at the mercy of the IRS after a rejection of our initial request. Tax Solutions got the IRS auditor to accept deductions not claimed when the original, self-prepared return was filed. IRS issued a wage levy leaving too small an amount to live on every two weeks. Tax Solutions arranged a levy reduction increasing take home pay to equal my allowable living expenses. The corporation owed a large penalty for unpaid payroll taxes at dissolution. The shareholders were facing a large Trust Fund Recovery Penalty against them personally, but Tax Solutions submitted documents allowing them to waive the penalty. "I'm still reeling from our conversation yesterday . . . It just doesn’t make sense that they would walk away from the possibility of collecting $$$ . . . I appreciate your help." After late deposits of payroll taxes, the IRS and state charged large penalties. When asked to waive the penalties both said "no". A large IRS lien for unpaid income taxes kept the taxpayers from refinancing their home to be able to pay the taxes (a real "catch-22"). Tax Solutions got the IRS to remove a wage levy and put the account on temporarily uncollectable status. Tax Solutions staff then found a bank that would refinance the home since the loan would fully pay the IRS and cause the lien to be released.

Of all the love poems written, love poems by teens are the most romantic, and passionate. Everything is more intense when you are tasting it for the first time, and that first taste of love is often enough to blow you away. During our teens is when we first encounter the heady feelings of love. The memories of our first kiss, our first date, our first "I love you" are remembered for the rest of our lives. Wow, this is awesome. I congratulate the poet on her dedicated work. It is a heart touching poem. At the balcony I saw you once. A beautiful sight, though seen at one glance. Our love for each other has always been true. This is exactly what I'm going through now. Every little word described here is what makes my present life as a teenager. Awesome poem! Love is a feeling that makes you dream.. Can you summarize the main idea of the text about love poems by teens?

As we prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday, I just wanted to wish you all a happy one filled with warm hugs from loved ones, warm food, and a warm and grateful heart. I know for me personally, it is so easy to get caught up in all that isn't perfect in my life and I know I shouldn't do that because I have so very much to be grateful for. Gratitude...in the face of a less than stellar economy, daily little frustrations with kids, husband, job, a house that never seems to be done or even company ready no matter how hard I try, wanting to do so much and yet still, only finding 24 hours in a day...those extra 10 pounds that keep finding me, no matter how many times I manage to shed them...artistic longings not quite realized and the voice of negativity that pervades my head whenever I do create and says, "you aren't good enough, talented enough, or dedicated enough to stand beside "real" artists". All of these things weigh me down when I forget to look up and thank God for all that I am and all that I have. I am thinking I will try to slow down for one day this week and just be. Be truly present for my friends and family, savor the moment, and be thankful for my many blessings. Perhaps even realize that whatever I am, I AM good enough. And maybe spend a little time out in Blogland over at Kathleen's White Wednesday party (well, I couldn't be COMPLETELY disconnected, could I???). Thanks for listening. Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. P.S. I just updated my Etsy shop, Elegant Farmhouse with beautiful antique white ironstone (more to come this weekend) and some antique grainsack stockings, just in time for Christmas. I have vowed to love more and see the good in everthing and everyone! I am very blessed! Happy, Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Your post was very inspiring, it is so easy to forget how blessed we are sometimes! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you and you family have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving!!! Hi Judy, thanks for stopping by my blog to say hi.You are so sweet and I wanted to share a couple thoughts based from a few scripture promises I've read that help me to be secure in who I am and my creativity. #1 You are accepted in the Beloved, just the way you are! #2 Your validation of who you are, and what you create comes from God alone! #be confident in Him! And keep your eyes on your own special path and you will keep fleurishing! We do have so much to be Thankful for. XO Christie P.S. Love that book in your photo! so nice to see you at the farm today...and words were so sweet...I love the spoon/book picture - that's a very simple way to decorate! It is so very easy to get bogged down in daily living and sometimes even our own unrealistic expectations of ourselves that we forget to be thankful. Your words are wise ones, thank you for sharing your heart and may you have a beautifully blessed Thanksgiving! Judy thanks for stopping by, leaving a sweet comment and wishing me a Happy Thanksgiving... yes, ours was a lovely one and we have much to be thankful for always! I Hope yours was a memorable one also. I LOVE the silverware with inspirational quotes engraved upon them!!! Your Post today obviously shares your Heart and many of us have a point of reference as to the fact that for our attitude to be balanced and be an attitude of gratitude, it has to be an "on purpose occurance" as Life unfolds, with the challenges and stumbling blocks that can threaten to attempt to defeat and discourage us. As long as we get back to Center we will stay on course... Hugs... Dawn... The Bohemian Its too easy to focus on the wrong things isn't it? That is what I love about Thanksgiving, it makes you think about the good ones! Not much going on here, just wanted to share a couple of things. Above is a hatbox that you would think is an old one but it is new or at least the box is. The wallpaper is from the 1940's. I made the box with a kit I purchased literally YEARS ago. I have many beautiful vintage wallpapers in my stash, and this one was so pretty, I decided I needed to make another hatbox to go with the ones I am using for storage in my closet of dreams. Speaking of that, I found out that the organization process is taking far longer than I anticipated. Guess I should have figured as much! Maybe next month I'll be sharing the finished project. Sigh... The arrival of the official first day of spring makes me see spring everywhere. Even my little silk flowers are all apple blossomy looking. Now, I do live in Colorado, so it is going to be a while before we have any remarkable flowers to share, but I did find these photos from a previous spring, showing what I look forward to every year. Lily of the Valley for one. I'm still enjoying my flowers from 10 days ago. Can you believe they still look this pretty? Even though they are drooping a bit, they are still luscious. Sometimes you get lucky... Have you seen the magazine Cottage? Their spring edition has just come out. It is published by Hoffman Media, same folks who crank out Victoria, Paula Deen, and Southern Lady. I just got my copy today at WalMart. I can't wait to peruse each page as it looks like a good one. It is particularly good to me as one of my dear friends is featured in it. Sharon is one of the most talented ladies around and this shows her beautiful little garden getaway (next time, I hope they show the inside-it is French and FAB-U-LOUS) in her backyard. It started out as a Tough Shed. Can you believe it? The gal's definitely got vision. I'm so happy for her. Just leave a comment on the previous post for a chance to win one of these awesome European house number signs. Sorry about the total random photos and my rambling. I am a little out of sorts due to a job that has now fallen into my lap because of another person's incompetence. Oh well, this too, shall pass. Keep a good thought (or two) for me this next week or two as I embark on a task that I'm not sure I am really up to, but I have to do it, so damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead. Oh- NO- Please don't show me any ore wonderful magazines! I can't afford the addiction! lol What beautiful Spring pictures here today. I love bleeding hearts! xo Diana Adoring your lovely images. Think I will just stay awhile enjoying your wonderful post. Thanks for sharing, Cheers SpecialK XoXo Your post is lovely. I especially like the vignette with the jug of roses and rosary beads. The roses are such a delicate colour. Nothing much either in the city of Stockholm... The weather is fair and hopefully continues for s spring-y feelings. Your photos are so restful and pretty that I didn't even realize you were rambling! I visit often, but rarely post. (I guess that makes me a "lurker"?) Your blog has been in my sidebar for some time so that I don't miss a single post. I hope you have a wonderful day in Colorado. It's going to be a great one here in Florida! Happy Spring to you Judy. Love the hatbox. And your beautiful little bleeding hearts are just the sweetest. You'll see, your graden will be full of blooms before you know it. Wishing you luck with your task at hand. Those roses are beautiful and I love the way the hat box turned out. Good luck with everything! Thanks so much for stopping by! Judy, the hat box is do pretty as are those roses. I think I'll pick up the magazine for some spring inspiration. Judy, the images are just beautiful. I still love the roses and that hatbox is great. You always have something good to share. What a beautiful post, Judy...the pictures are just dreamy! I love magazines like this...they give me so much inspiration before the season starts! I have to look for this one! Good luck with your organizing! :) I know the reveal is going to be amazing if you are covering hatboxes with this gorgeous wallpaper to use as storage! Best of luck, and I'll run out and grab a magazine right away! I can almost smell those gorgeous roses through my monitor. I wish someone would invent scratch and sniff for screen savers! Thank you for visiting my blog. In answer to your question for zink table. If you Google sheet metal shops in your area, they would do the fabrication. You can also purchase the zinc (sheet metal) from them. I found the lower the number of the sheet metal gauge, is the best to work with. I would recommend 25 gauge. The sheet metal shop we used knew not a thing about what I was trying to achieve. So follow your own instinct. Zinc is basicly oxidized sheet metal, I use a special sealer and paint made for metal to acheive the look of zinc. Your roses are beautiful. And I love lily of the valley and bleeding hearts. I haven't seen that magazine yet which is amazing because it seems I'm at the magazine counter everyday(it's a little obsession at this point)! I'm loving that hat box you covered! Thank you for sharing that idea, it certainly makes organizing a prettier task!

Here is a piece of text: LAKE HELEN -- Some Lake Helen property owners and the City Commission have extra incentive to celebrate the new year. The Lake Helen City Commission passed an amendment to its Comprehensive Plan this month that paves the way for residential construction on lots previously deemed too small. The amendment, written in 2007 but not adopted until this month, allows owners of property smaller than one-third of an acre to build homes of less than the currently required 1,750 square feet in some residential areas. The amendment is expected to take effect in late January. Commissioner Rick Basso asked prior to passing the amendment whether it establishes a "magic number" of square feet that would be required for the so-called nonconforming lots. Lake Helen City Administrator Don Findell said the city's planning and land use committee, as well as the City Commission, will use discretion to determine on a case-by-case basis the acceptable square footage for homes on nonconforming lots. "We'll have some discretion over the actual size, and that will be based on the lot size and other requirements," Findell said. Prior to the change, the minimum square footage requirements combined with other rules like minimum setback, made it difficult to build on some smaller parcels in the city. "The lots were simply too small to get a 1,750- or 1,850-square-foot structure on," Findell said. "The desire was to create a mechanism by which those lots would become build-able in accordance with the comprehensive plan." The amendment stems partly from feedback from residents, who approached the city after it completed revisions to the land-use portion of its comp plan in 2005. Their concerns gave rise to the amendment, which was proposed in 2007. Because Lake Helen failed to meet certain statutory requirements set by the now-defunct Florida Department of Community Affairs, the proposed amendment was never adopted. That put Lake Helen's revision process on hold. In April 2011, though, Gov. Rick Scott signed the Community Planning Act, legislation that lessens the state's involvement in the process of adopting comp plans changes. As a result, the state's responsibility in reviewing comprehensive plan amendments has been significantly reduced, Findell said. "This (amendment) is one that fell into that open window we have because of the changes to DCA and the reviewing process," Mayor Buddy Snowden said. Essentially, the new act allows Lake Helen to continue to operate under its current comp plan even while the city is still working on meeting the statutory requirements, which have been simplified. "The whole plan, including the newly adopted amendments, is a viable document now," said Findell of the city's comp plan. The state's new approach could allow Lake Helen to complete the task of updating its long-range growth plans within the next 18 months. "There's an entirely different comp plan evaluation and appraisal process now," Findell said, though the city still has to review its comp plan and determine whether any of the state's growth management legislation changes warrant changes to the comp plan, he added. Under the new act, Lake Helen must submit a letter to the state by July 1. In the letter, the city must note whether legislation changes will necessitate Lake Helen making additional amendments to its comp plan. Lake Helen then has a year to prepare any required amendments. Based on the text material above, generate the response to the following quesion or instruction: How has the Community Planning Act affected Lake Helen's ability to update its long-range growth plans?

The ability of the tympanum and stapes to effectively transmit vibrations is called impedance matching . Early tetrapods like temnospondyls have thick stapes with poor impedance matching , so it is now thought that they were not used for hearing . Instead , these thick stapes may have functioned to support the tissue that covers the otic notch . Early temnospondyls like Dendrerpeton could not hear airborne sound but would have been able to detect vibration in the ground . Later temnospondyls like Doleserpeton had otic regions adapted to hearing . Doleserpeton has a structure in the inner ear called the perilymphatic duct , which is also seen in frogs and is associated with hearing . Its stapes is also a better transmitter of sound . The hearing system of Doleserpeton and related temnospondyls was able to detect airborne sound and may have been ancestral to that of living amphibians .

A poetry film/documentary hybrid. The filmmaker, Kate Sweeney, describes it in the Vimeo description as A poetic glimpse into the archives of the North East [UK] poetry publisher Bloodaxe Books, the contents of which were recently purchased by Newcastle University. The film was made by artist Kate Sweeney in collaboration with poets Tara Bergin and Anna Woodford in spring 2013 Anna Woodford and Tara Bergin both held residencies at the archive. Bergin talks about her fondness for archives in a video introduction to the film. The same site (CAMPUS social network) gives a fuller explanation of how Proof came to be: contemporary poetry publishers in the world. Two poets and recent PhD graduates, Anna Woodford and Tara Bergin, were asked to take a look into the as yet un-catalogued boxes to gain an initial sense of the archive’s scope and potential. To document their findings, they teamed up with artist Kate Sweeney to make a short ‘poem-film.’ They called it ‘Proof’. The film includes guest appearances by Bloodaxe authors Gillian Allnutt, Simon Armitage, John Hegley and Anne Stevenson.

Gasoline prices continued their upward climb, rising 5.3 cents to $2.744 for a gallon of unleaded as a national average, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The average national price for the week ending May 18 is now 92.1 cents lower than it was a year ago. Prices increased incrementally across the nine regions tracked by the agency with the sharpest increase coming in the Midwest at 8.9 cents to $2.597. The highest price remains on the West Coast at $3.513. Among the states, California remains the costliest state for gasoline purchases with an average price of $3.803 per gallon. Six other states have an average price above $3, including Nevada, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, and Washington.

Now, you may be asking what Pho is. To simplify it, it is basically a Vietnamese Noodle Soup with your choice of toppings and a flavorful, deep broth. I was inspired by the complexity and flavor of the broth, which is meaty and contains spices such as star anise, corriander, and clove. If you have it with beef, the boiling broth actually cooks the meat (which is super cool!). You get the broth, thin noodles, and other toppings (such as bean sprouts, basil, cilantro, Hoisin, etc)! When I got back, I decided I would try to make Pho. It was then that I realized I didn’t have 3 hours to boil broth and extract flavor out of meat bones. But alas, I was desperate for Pho! I decided to try and make a simplified version; that, my friends, is how I created this Vietnamese-Inspired Beef Noodle Soup. This dish is packed with pure deliciousness! The first thing that hits you is the aroma from the spices, which brings to mind a “clean” feeling. I really don’t know how else to explain it. It is such a zen and calming dish, and with every spoonful your taste buds are just loved with complexity and depth. Then, you take a spoonful of the broth, with a subtle beef and onion flavor and just a tiny hint of ginger. The rice noodles are tender, and a bite of the thinly sliced beef adds a richness and decadence to this very healthy and satisfying dish. If you are hesitant, still try it! You will love it, trust me! Also, make sure not to leave out any of the ingredients because each one really does play a pivotal role in balancing the flavors. Meanwhile, begin heating beef broth and vegetable broth in a large pot. Put the coriander, cloves, star anise, and cinnamon into the tea strainer (or other holding device) into the broth. Bring to a boil. Add the charred onion and ginger and reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes, occasionally stirring. What are some of the toppings that can be added to Pho soup?

Answer according to: Initiated in 1999, ICS’ Chinese Economy Research Programme (CERP) focuses on the ongoing economic development and modernization in China, its international trade and Sino-Indian economic relations. The CERP helps researchers, decision makers and practitioners to better understand the economic challenges, transitions and trajectories of Chinese economy. ICS is involved in a number of independent and credible researches on China’s economic landscape, its development experiences within China as well as at the sub-regional, regional and global level. By providing thorough and balanced policy inputs, CERP serves to bridge the gap between leaders and researchers from both countries and to facilitate better communication on economic issues between the two countries. Moreover, the program also aims to build capacity among Indian researchers to connect them with the Institute’s network of like-minded experts from both countries. In this perspective, CERP aims to undertake research and programs to investigate and explore new opportunities for greater economic understanding and cooperation between India and China.

Stewards play an important role in the functioning of the union. Their role is multifaceted, and supports many of the union’s activities. Stewards are the first contact with the union for members and in large part that first interaction shapes member’s opinion of the union. Leader: Being a leader encompasses a few aspects, which are all of equal value. First and foremost, you set the example for the membership. As a leader you want to establish trust, credibility and a comfort level for members to come to you. Building bonds with your members, requires you to understand the diversity of your membership, the cultural, racial, gender, and sexual orientation and age differences. This ensures that members realize that regardless of their background and specific issues, the union is there to represent them. The aim is to build solidarity across these lines. It’s also important to build an effective relationship with management. You should aim to be seen as a credible and reliable counterpart. Establishing a relationship with management is critical, as the relationship is ongoing; more can be achieved when the relationship is civil, even if management makes this difficult, try to set an example for both them and your members. Remember, members need to see you as a knowledgeable and reliable resource, while management needs to see you as a credible counterpart. Make sure that you always take time to listen. When members know you are open to listening, trust and credibility will follow. In having a close relationship with your members, it becomes easier to motivate members to take collective action on issues that concern the workplace. At the very least, raise awareness of issues other PIPSC members are facing. It’s important to create linkages between diverse workplaces on the basis of common issues. That is, members should understand that what is happening to them is not an individual issue; it is part of a larger context. Be aware of even seemingly disengaged members. Try to understand their lack of engagement- it’s possible that some may not have an issue, while others may be discouraged or even intimidated. You can only know this when you know your members well. Lastly, be open to learning from your membership. Educator: Educate members about PIPSC, and the ways in which the union supports them in the workplace. Communicator: In this role you communicate the Institute’s policies, programs and official positions on issues that affect the membership. You may also want to raise awareness of any ongoing campaigns and activities the Institute is involved in. Of course, it is critical that you are aware of concerns of PIPSC members in the workplace and that you relay that information to relevant elected officials and staff. Representative: One of the key roles of a steward is to serve as first contact for members with problems and look further into members’ complaints. When necessary, you will accompany members in meetings as their union representative, and represent them in the initial steps of informal processes, and formal grievances. Remember that before proceeding to initiate the grievance, you need to decide if a member has grounds to file a grievance, and take initiative to speak with a member’s supervisor. Lastly, you should also be politically aware. The government can pass legislation or modify contractual and social gains. PIPSC members experience this firsthand, and have been at the frontlines of cutbacks, restrictions, and generally speaking, witnesses to attempts to roll back past successes. It is helpful to know your collective agreement thoroughly, particularly clauses that affect your members on a regular basis. Be the local spokesperson and eyes and ears for the regional and national office. Your knowledge is essential in addressing workplace issues. May be appointed by PIPSC to serve on a Union-Management Consultation Committee, or on an Occupational Health and Safety Committee. Ottawa, September 1, 2017 – Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC) members attending this year's Labour Day parade* in downtown Ottawa will be encouraging the public and the labour movement to show their solidarity for public servants hurt by the Phoenix pay roll system. PIPSC’s float – a modified bus – will encourage the Labour Day crowd to "Get on board with fixing Phoenix," which has plagued public servants since it was rolled out in early 2016. “Late pay, no pay, wrong pay. Our members are understandably in a less than festive mood. One in two federal employees is affected and there’s still no permanent fix in sight,” said PIPSC President Debi Daviau. “Public servants never know what is next on the horizon when it comes to Phoenix. Our members deserve to know when its problems are going to be fixed once and for all.” Some efforts are being made to improve the situation, such as the creation of an “Inter-Department Analysis Team” which will include representatives from various departments, the Treasury Board, vendors and unions. Improvements to the Call Centres are also welcome. But these efforts still fall short of the mark, as new problems with Phoenix continue to emerge. Most recently, issues with retroactive pay and the lack of pension and benefit statements for the year cast doubt on a quick fix. “We recognize the government’s efforts to address these issues, but much more needs to be done to resolve these problems once and for all, and soon. Our public service was recently recognized as the best in the world. We need to keep it that way. A critical way to ensure it is to fix Phoenix,” concluded Daviau. (*) Parade starts at Ottawa City Hall (Elgin and Lisgar) at noon and ends at McNabb Park (Gladstone and Bronson), where there will be activities, entertainment, food and more from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This is what I did for my second orange beef experiment. Hope you enjoy it. *If you cannot find low sodium chicken broth, you will have to dilute sauce mixture with water to taste. Probably anywhere from 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup would suffice. ** Peel orange and slice rind into strips between 1/4 and 1/2 inch long. Then slice strips crosswise like you would a loaf of bread. Final product should be thin and crescent shaped (hope I explained this clearly). At least 5 to 6 hours before cooking beef, sprinkle it with salt and white pepper, making sure it is evenly mixed in meat. Next, sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of water over beef and mix it in. Follow this with the cornstarch and gently massage it evenly into meat. Lastly, mix in oil. I found that mixing in oil actually makes the meat very tender - even more than by just using cornstarch by itself (I now do this for both Chinese beef and pork dishes. Don't ask me why this is so. Set meat in refrigerator to marinate. About an hour before cooking beef, mix all ingredients in top column together EXCEPT dried red pepper pod, orange rind, sesame oil, cornstarch and hot oil. Set aside to allow flavors to marry. When ready to cook beef, heat wok and about 2 tablespoon oil. Toss in clove of minced garlic when oil is hot and sauté for about 15 seconds before placing meat in wok. Cook meat for about 2 minutes being careful to not overcook it (doing so will make it tough). About halfway through the two minute cooking cycle, splash meat with about 1 tablespoon white wine or sherry. You should remove meat from wok just after all the red has disappeared. After you have removed meat and cleaned wok, reheat wok and about 1 tablespoon oil. After oil is hot, toss orange rind and red pepper pod in wok and sauté very briefly being careful not to burn rind. After sauté ing for about 15 seconds or so, add sauce. When edge of sauce starts to bubble, add cornstarch and water mixture. When sauce starts to thicken add hot oil and stir. Follow this with the beef and mix with sauce well. Lastly, turn off fire and drizzle sesame oil over beef mixture. Mix briefly and serve over white rice. If you want you can also add 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped green onions (green part only) to sauce mixture just before you add hot oil. I didn't do this, but some people do. This will impart a slightly different flavor. Also feel free to add extra red pepper pods if you like a hotter dish. You can also omit them altogether if you want. I only used one because my daughter does not like the extra heat. Based on the passage above, How should the orange rind be sliced and shaped for the recipe?

This is one of those stories destined to not only change the life of one man, but also of one town, one country. What happened in 1863 seems to be a legend, but was in fact a reality, important enough to start an industry that would become famous all over the world: the accordion industry. An Austrian pilgrim returning home from a visit to the Loreto sanctuary asked for hospitality for the night at a farmhouse near Castelfidardo. After having been refreshed, he sat down near the fireside and started to play a strange "box". This was the house of Antonio and Lucia Soprani and their sons. One son, Paolo, was interested in this musical box which was in fact a copy of the "accordeon" patented in 1829 by Mr. Demian of Vienna. Many different stories tell of how Paolo obtained this box: some say that the prilgrim gifted to him to thank the family for the hospitality; some say that Paolo bought it; some say that during the night, the young Paolo woke up to study all the secrets of the box. The important thing is that, from this little boxand PaoloÕs intelligence, after a few years the accordion industry would be born in Castelfidardo. In 1864 Paolo opened a little workshop inside his home, with the help of his brothers; after some years, he moved to a bigger house, engaging some workers. The first "armoniche" produced were sold in fairs and markets of nearby towns. In Loreto there were always a lot of pilgrims, religious visitors and dealers. Paolo went there to exhibit his accordion and he also became a good player. In 1872 he moved to the centre of Castelfidardo and opened a factory in the Piazza Garibaldi. His instruments had immediate success, especially in the country where the farmers danced to popular songs. Quickly the popularity grew and requests came from other european countries like France. At the end of the 19th century the "armonica" started to be exported to other continents, for example the USA, where a lot of Italian people had emigrated and the sound of the "armonica" eased their homesickness. To supply the increasing number of orders he needed to find a bigger place and more workers, to organise the phases of production in a better way and create a commercial office. For this reason Paolo with his sons Luigi and Achille opened a new factory in Castelfidardo where about 400 people worked.

These sites represent a marvelous resource but unfortunately none of them provide detailed indexes linked to the facsimiles of the works contained in the manuscripts. This not only makes finding individual songs tedious but also means that they are poorly indexed by the search engines. The aim of these pages is to provide detailed indexes sortable by page number, song incipit and composer for the four chansonniers and so to facilitate acces to their contents as well as exposing them to the search engines. Attributions to individual composers are those given by the sources from which the indexes are drawn. I have not attempted to standardise their varying methods of indicating (or not) if an attribution is definitely established, widely accepted or doubtfull so anything in the 'composer' column should be treated with care. A modern transcription in both original and modern clefing of the Laborde chansonnier is available from the Goldberg Stiftung. They also offer versions of the Pixérécourt and Nivelle de la Chausée chansonniers which (as of january 2011) are unavailable in digital facsimile as well as collections of songs by Busnois, Ockegham and much else. UNEG Webinar: Updated Evaluation Competency Framework: why are they important, how are they linked to the updated Norms and Standards and what do they mean for UN organizations and evaluation stakeholders? Tuesday 6 December 2016, 9:30 to 11am (NY time) You are cordially invited to attend a UNEG webinar “Updated Evaluation Competency Framework: why are they important, how are they linked to the updated Norms and Standards and what do they mean for UN organizations and evaluation stakeholders?” During 2015 and leading up to UNEG’s Annual General Meeting in 2016 in Geneva, the Professionalization of Evaluation group worked to revise its “UNEG Evaluation Competency Framework” from 2008. This revision formed part of a broader agenda on professionalization, which also included a study on professionalization in the UN system looking at hiring practices and the use of the evaluation competency, as well as the conceptualization of professionalization for the UN community. At the webinar, Andrea Cook (UNEG Vice-Chair; Director, Evaluation Office, UNFPA) will open the session that will be delivered by the Co-Conveners of the UNEG Working Group on Professionalization of Evaluation, Judita Jankovic (UNEG Co-Convener, Evaluation Specialist, ICAO) and Susanne Mattsson (UNEG Co-Convener, Evaluation Capacity Development Adviser, UNFPA) to familiarize the broader membership of UNEG on the revised Evaluation Competency Framework, why and how the document was updated, what the enhancements are and to highlight the many potential uses of the framework for enhanced learning and development, recruitment and evaluation function systems. We are pleased that the following external commentators will further enrich the discussion: Helen Simons – Southampton Education School (United Kingdom Evaluation Society); Harry Cummings – President of the Canadian Evaluation Society and Dione Hills – Tavistock Institute (United Kingdom Evaluation Society).

In Kyokutei Bakin’s classic Japanese epic novel Nansou Satomi Hakkenden, eight samurai serve the Satomi clan during Japan’s tumultuous Sengoku (Warring States) era. The Edo-era samurai are the reincarnations of the spirits that Princess Fuse mothered with a dog named Yatsufusa. In Fuse Gansaku: Satomi Hakkenden, the female hunter Hamaji comes to her brother in order to hunt Fuse. Thus, the karmic cycle of retribution that began long ago with the Satomi family begins anew. Based on the passage above, Can you summarize Nansou Satomi Hakkenden by Kyokutei Bakin and explain the significance of the eight samurai serving the Satomi clan during Japan's Sengoku era?

A family member brought over a couple of old bikes to see whether I could sell them. The bikes came from the basement of an old property, and had been sitting there for several decades. They are in good condition, but nothing remarkable: Both are steel Columbia 3-speeds - most likely from the '80s. My plan was to post them on C-List and I had no intention to write about them here... But while snapping the photos, my imagination got the best of me and I started thinking about the bicycles' history. The smaller of the two has 24" wheels and appears to be a children's bike. The larger one has 26" wheels, but the small frame suggests that it too probably belonged to a young person - maybe the teenage sister of the cream bicycle's pre-teen owner? I can picture them cycling together down a sleepy suburban street, trying to make it home in time for dinner - one on the cream bike, the other on the blue, their delighted squeals rising above the clicking of the hubs... In addition to its smaller size, there is something about the little cream bicycle in particular that evokes gentle images of childhood and its possibilities - maybe the soft, delicate colour. When I see children's bicycles today, the colours and graphics tend to be super bright; there are often depictions of cartoon characters and action heros on the frame. And while in some ways that's fun, in other ways I feel that this aesthetic in children's toys can be overpowering. Why can't a child's bike be just a simple little bike? A bike that will let the child's personality shine through and ignite their imagination, rather than feed them the same ready-made stylized imagery they see on television and on cereal boxes? I wonder how typical it is - if at all - for parents today to pick up vintage children's bikes for their kids and restore them, instead of buying modern ones. Based on what I have seen, not very typical. Limited availability is probably a big reason: I don't actually see many children's vintage bikes around, even in Boston. And I suspect weight may be a reason as well: The older bicycles are steel. Modern ones are plastic or aluminum, which makes them easier for children to maneuver. But when it comes to the weight factor, I wonder whether lighter is necessarily better. A flimsy bicycle feels like just another toy. A substantial bicycle feels like something important, a right of passage. After all, twenty years ago children were riding steel bikes with no problems. Speaking of twenty years ago... I was 11 then, and riding something not too different from these bikes - as was my younger sister. That could be why I felt compelled to photograph these in a golden light, and to wonder about their history. there's a third reason why parents don't restore vintage children's bikes: the kids will outgrow them in a couple of years, limiting the return on the effort. if you restore an adult bike, you can enjoy it the rest of your life. also, as you mentioned, weight is a factor. i actually did "restore" a 14" kid's bike for my 4-year old daughter, only to find that it was too heavy for her to propel on anything other than a perfectly flat surface (it weighed 28 lb, or about 80% of her own weight!). agreed on the point on aesthetics: most kids' bikes these days are extensions of the mass merchandising empire. when i found that 14" bike for my daughter, i immediately removed all the garish decals depicting the characters from "cars" and repainted it a more pleasing (although still totally "girly") lavender and purple :-). no graphics! oh, and there are still plenty of hi-ten steel kids' bikes being sold! only the more expensive ones (like the specialized "hotrock" series) are made with more lightweight aluminum frames. also, the cheaper kids' bikes also have more steel components, which really kind of defeats the purpose of a kid's bike: to get kids riding with as little impediment to learning as possible. as for plastic-- that's really only found on the smallest of kid's bikes, the 12" one with training wheels for $50 from walmart. it's a given that they will be flimsy and fall apart after a year, by which time your child will have moved into the next size up. our next kid's bike will be a new one, not vintage, and it will be a more expensive, lighter one... probably a specialized hotrock with 20" wheels. it will see about 2-3 years of use before my daughter will have to upgrade to a larger one, and it can get handed down to her younger sister. for a $200 bike, that's not bad. Quality childrens' bikes are still made, though even those seem flashier than the Columbias. The quality ones weigh no more than the flimsy ones. i love this post! your writing is always thought provoking and they too remind me of my older sister and i racing the sun home to get back for dinner. back then a bike was such a huge present and rite of passage, unlike todays teens getting range rovers and things i may never acquire (or want) in this lifetime. anyway, loved the post, as well as your blog, i read it everyday and totally enjoy your wisdom, thank you. Re children growing out of bikes: Something I mentioned to somervillain earlier are folding bikes. What about something like a nice, restored Raleigh Twenty? At age 8 it could function like a full sized kid's bike, but the child would never outgrow it as it's expandable, and can even ride it as an adult... I have never understood the "Growing out of" issue. Just buy a new bike and hand the other one down or give it to another family. What is the big deal with spending a few hundred dollars on your child to have a bike that fits? Unfortunately today a childs bike is still very heavy [even the Aluminum frames] and worse yet are they are driven by fat, thick heavy tires and bad seating positions. These bikes that you have featured are more like what should be offered. Roadster style bikes with skinnier and taller tires. My feeling is, the children's bikes of today are pretty yucky, with the exception of decent quality (read: comparatively expensive) BMX bikes. The step-throughs featured in today's post have been replaced by gaudy, gimmicky things. When i worked at a shop, i always did my best to get parents to buy BMX bikes, for daughters and sons. These are not perfect, but they do tend to be quite durable, and they won't be as embarrassing a few years on. Also, the 20" bmx "fits" riders aged like 8 to adulthood. Not in terms of traditional bicycle fit, but in terms of a suitable size for that style of bicycle. About a year ago I was given a blue Columbia just like that one! That and a Huffy that someone was going to take to the dump from her barn. I had her drop them off at my house instead and I gave them away on C-list. The guy that picked them up was very excited to get two free bikes and was going to fix them up for his kids. As 'Villain said, it's marketing. Almost everything geared towards children has some kind of corporate cross-promotional collabo. My daughter just turned three and rides a balance bike. Next spring she will be ready to try pedals and she'll be on something vintage. I started collecting quality old bikes for her while she was still in the womb and I think I've got her covered all the way to adulthood! why do we not buy and restore vintage bikes for our child? because we are part of the wonderful world of second hand bikes--most of them so far have come from the "swap" area of our local dump...and returned there a few years later, unless I had the time to take them to a lovely shelter for homeless families in JP, or came from friends, or occasionally yard sales. One even from Craigslist. All salvaged from going into a landfill and passed along. Maybe that is not as aesthetic as a restored vintage bicycle but I find the social connectedness of it all more fun. And they have all worked perfectly well and no one fretted over them. Simple joy for all. We have one older kids bike and it's really heavy. They love to ride it but honestly I rarely let them because they are so blasted slow on the darned thing we can never get to our destination. It sure would be nice but most families today simply can't invest that kind of money into something that will be used for a year and ridiculously depreciate in that time. Thank goodness for C-List! :-) hey antbike, hmm... maybe you should make a bike for my six year old! have you ever built a kid's bike? antbikemike, MandG - I think most parents would much rather invest that money into a payment on a upward mobility SUV. Anon - I think BMX bikes are terrific for kids. Many boys 8+ love to do tricks and jump off of things on their bikes and BMX bikes can take that kind of abuse really well. BMX bikes foster "hanging out" on bikes as opposed to riding. Older kids on them always circle around parking lots and ramps, presumably in urban environments and never go from point A to point B the way a cyclist would. Some of them have saddles really low to do tricks and brake with their feet. They are skateboards, not bikes. I shudder at the idea of giving more of these things to new cyclists. How will they ever learn to appreciate just riding a bike? Anon 7:47 - Your method was certainly included in my statement. (I wrote "pick up and restore" not "buy and restore".) The dump, C-List, relatives' basements, what have you. As for affordability... I don't know, in Boston, one could easily buy a vintage children's bike at one of the swap meets or on C-List for under $50, and revamp it for another $100. Most parents spend more than that on new bikes for their kids every few years. So it would be a choice of modern vs vintage, rather than a choice between spending the money or not. I collect and restore vintage bikes because they DESERVE it, so the cost doesn't have to be justified by potential use. Our Princess is currently aged 21 months, but takes a keen interest (= wants to ride on) whichever bike I'm currently working on. Recently I found a loop frame bike with 24 inch wheels - sort of a mini-Omafiets. By the time she is big enough, it will be restored and retro-fitted with a three-speed (already in the parts bin). She can have a modern bike then too if she wishes - why should just the grown ups be allowed more than one bicycle? I have on the bench in line to be restored and antique children's bicycle. It's a solid steel tank of a thing, but I'm not concerned about the weight, I'm concerned about how smoothly the bearings turn. The problem with most of these low end bikes is the assembly, not the weight. Even when new they only had enough grease in the bearings to say it was there and were not properly adjusted at the factory, and department store teenager who assembled them didn't do it either. At the age of these bikes the grease has turned to something resembling silly putty, or even varnish. Newer children's bikes have even worse quality bearings than these do (perhaps even some plain bushings) and every one I've seen lately has the bearings "adjusted" by having them clamped down about as hard as factory could manage it and still allow the wheels to turn at all. It's no wonder they're hard to pedal. If the bits turn freely weight is almost a non issue. Back in the day 8 years olds bombed around on 40+ lb bikes with no problem. I did my first half century at 12 years old on a bike that weighed at least as much as the examples here, but I'd torn it down and rebuilt it myself. Now there's an idea for "bikey" type parents; acquire an older bike for your child and rebuild it WITH them. This will make them feel the bike is truly "theirs" because of their own investment in it (and I bet they treat it better as a result), as well as granting them skills that will make them independent for life. Bikes like these Columbias tend to make me a bit sad though. For the same price, or maybe only a few dollars more, on the used market you can get a much better bike. Panasonic and Giant made Schwinns are about as good as it gets and with patience can often be acquired for free. A Chicago made "lightweight" like the Breeze or Hollywood is going to be heavier, but is really a hell of a bike that can take a serious beating and just keep going. I pass on the Columbias and Huffys unless I need a cheap parts donor. Still, if the headtubes haven't just popped off of these yet it's unlikely they're going to and these CAN be made into quite serviceable bikes for people who aren't going to go ramp jumping with them. i think there must be a distinction made in age range when we refer to "children's" bikes-- it's really not just one category that we need to talk about. early riders (3-6 years old) might not have the muscle strength or body mass to deal with a heavy bike that older kids (7-10 years old) can ride just fine. so without knowing what age range KFG is referring to, i have to disagree with him on this point, as well as the points made on BMX bikes, at least as the pertain to the 3-5, maybe 3-6, age range). i fixed up a BMX bike with fairly high quality parts (all bearing headset, hubs, pedals, BB, etc... no plastic). and of course, i repacked all the bearings and made sure the bike rolled smoothly. despite this, my daughter simply couldn't pedal a 28lb BMX bike, despite it fitting her perfectly. it just frustrated her and made her lose interest. it also didn't help that it was geared really high, typical of BMX bikes. i swapped out the rear cog for the largest that would fit, but the front chainring was too large and it would have been too much cost and effort for me to replace it with a smaller one to make the bike more ridable. so basically, early riders (3-6 years old) need easier bikes to learn how to ride, with very low gearing and light weight. after that, they can make do with heavier bikes, and BMX-style bikes with higher gearing. lastly, i would hope that the opinions expressed are coming from people who've actually experienced the trial and error of getting kids to ride bikes. it's one thing to speculate about the theory behind what a kid's bike *should* be from an detached, academic perspective, but much of that theory gets reshaped when you actually have kids that you're trying to get on bikes. i thought for sure my daughter would take to the BMX bike i fixed for her, but i ended up learning two important things from that mistake. Wow, I like these children's bikes. I remember that the bikes we had were rather bright too, and the later ones some citybike/mountainbike hybrids. In fact horrible to ride, but we still did and enjoyed it. I stand guilty of mixing ages without distinction. The antique I referred to is, in fact, a tricycle, not a bicycle; and I only refer to the Columbias as children's bicycles because Velouria stipulated that context for them. I've certainly never thought of these as children's bikes. They were sold mostly to teens through seniors. The small frame size is due to how Americans perceive and size step through frames, not because they were intended for children. For that matter I do not think of or refer to teens as children. Perhaps "kids" in certain contexts, but in the right context I might refer to a 30 year old as a "kid" (my "baby" is Velouria's age). I'm not one of those who has been advocating BMX bikes. Even as a child I never understood the attraction of stingrays (a BMX in larval form), when you could have a real ridable bike instead. One you could use to actually go places with. Places like other cities, not other blocks. WEIGHT was not found to be a factor in determining that. Design was. Well? There ya go. Why attribute the wrong gear to some other factor? People do this all the time when they go to larger diameter tires, claiming the tires are harder to pedal because of higher rolling resistance, when in fact what is happening is that in the "same" gear they are in a larger gear and the bike feels harder to pedal even though the rolling resistance has gone DOWN. People are funny critters who will often attribute effect only to the correct cause when all else has failed; and often not even then. "i would hope that the opinions expressed are coming from people who've actually experienced the trial and error of getting kids to ride bikes." I have experience in raising children. What's more, I started out as one myself and well remember my first "tank" of a 20" wheel bike (candy apple red with a chrome jet plane on the front fender). In those days our bikes may have started out with a base weight of about 28 pounds (because they were designed to have a pick up truck drive over them and still be ridable. Not using a rhetorical device there, that was the ACTUAL design parameter), but on top of that we added fenders, chainguards, racks, kickstands, baskets (plus the weight of whatever was in them; and we weren't weight weenies, so that may well have been rocks and bricks), lights, whirlygigs of various sorts, cards in the spokes, horns and anywhere from 2 to 6 D batteries. And we learned to ride them; and rode them hard all over hell and creation. Your single failure is belied by the 10s of millions of other children who experienced success without so much as questioning whether they should or not. And learning to ride, care for and safely operate a bike in the local environment is not part of a better education? Very, very true. The beauty of this world is that there's pretty much something for everyone's priorities. The "new" kids bikes that I've been most happy with, and my kids gravitate to when they choose what to ride, are a Raleigh Mountain Scout and a Specialized Hot Rock. Both are well made, sturdy bikes, not too heavy and a great introduction to gears. My 9yo son can do 40 miles on his Raleigh without problem whereas his vintage ten speed kicks his butt around 20 miles. Both of these bikes retail for around $250 to $300. I picked up my son's one year old Mtn Scout for $60 on CL and my daughters older Hot Rock Coaster for $8 at a thrift store. I'm also a fan of bmx bikes for kids. They're a lot of fun to ride and are ridiculously sturdy. I picked up a beautiful all chrome bmx for $10 at a thrift store a couple of years ago. My son loves that bike. It's strong, lightweight and flashy. He can keep up a good pace, go long distances AND he has a blast on it at the local skate parks. I don't know if any of you who are leery of bmx culture have spent much time at skate parks but there are some incredibly talented, ridiculously athletic kids doing those tricks on bikes and boards. I have a ton of respect for the hard work these kids put into their sport. All that said, I'm personally really drawn to vintage kids bikes. Memories, style, uniqueness all being attractive factors. As the proud father of two, I concur with those who said that kids bikes are not ligther nowadays. They're just cheaper and short lived. There are still quality kids bikes (for instance, Isla Bike for MTB or road bikes, Puky for commuters), with the correct proportions (ie, for instance, shorter cranks and lower botton bracket). But the market for 400€ kids bike is rather limited. I also think that weigth is an issue. A 14kgs bike (your average steel WalMart 20 inches bike) is a real drag when you weight 25kgs... When I was a wee lad the bike I remember most fondly was a hand-me-down Raleigh Chopper, in orange, as I recall. Now that was a cool bike to have! With a pseudo-motorcycle seat and riser handlebars. After that my parents bought me a Ross that was more like an adult road bike. It was heavy and not nearly as cool as the Chopper. My parents and sister got new Motebecanes, clearly I got the raw end of that deal just because I was smaller. But in retrospect, when I see what's offered for kids' bikes these days, I think I should have appreciated it more. A bike like that made out of today's higher-grade steels would be pretty nice for a kid. But then it would be a lot more expensive. woom bicycles. lightweight bikes. designed in austria for children's specific needs. non toxic materials, short reach/easy to activate brakes, lightweight rims and tires, .... come in 5 sizes. you can return the bike and upgrade to the next size. Bearing in mind that the "higher" grade steels weigh . . . the weight of steel, just like the "lower" grades (give or take a few baryons). P.S. I've got a "bike boom" Ross compact step through sitting out in the yard right now. I'd like to take a bit of rake out of the fork and might wish it had a red band Bendix instead of that Mexican thing, but other than that it's not a bad little bike. I don't know that I'd want to ride a century on it, but it's a great little library scooter; and a bit of a chick magnet. Go figure. florian--the upgrade child bike program is awesome. Why aren't bike companies already doing this? It would create an excellent "certified pre-owned" market for parents looking for their first child's bike. MandG: thank you, your comment confirms my thoughts above on the specialized hotrock bikes. i've also heard great things about the raleigh mountain scout. $8 at a thrift store??!! i could only wish to find such a score around here. florian: the woom idea sounds great! i wish they had such a concept here... child-centric design; trade in the bike when your child needs the next size up. perfect. Because the profit margins are going to be so low that it might be a loss for every one sold; although I suppose they can try to make it up on volume. I very fondly remember my first two bikes: #1 was a pink cruiser-style with a pink banana seat and plastic grips with streamers (oh yeah....viva the late 70s!) and #2 was a bright white Raleigh 3 or 5 speed that I got when I was 8 and kept through junior high. I LOVED my bikes and remember my sense of mobility and freedom when I rode them around with other kids in the neighborhood. As far as weight, I think that kids will probably make it work, especially with things like training wheels and lots of practice. If we did it, they can do it too. I'm glad to hear that the new kids' bikes are out there, available, and that parents can get them new or used and share them with other parents. Ultimately, I just wish that all kids could have a bike! lovely bikes. I wish I had seen this earlier AND that my kids were tall enough for either bike. I did search kind of hard for a kids bike for my daughter that had fenders, and looked more like a real bike. I didn't have a lot of luck. ( I wasn't looking vintage- I don't really know what I am doing irt vintage and wanted something that could go right out of the gate. ) I will say that from what I have seen of the kids bikes- the geometry is weird and I agree with mike from ant- the tires are huge and it requires much effort to bike. For my daughter this discourages her from riding. I wish she could have a zippyier bike. And my son's bike also fits weird. Bicycle Times showcased a super cute kids bike that grows with the kid. I can't remember who the builder was- but the wheels wee adult size and the seat was real low. and it allowed for adjustments over the next 7-10 years. I wish I had the cash to buy my kid that bike. I wish she liked biking on her own enough for me to spend that kind of cash... sadly she has a mermaid bike :vomit: My daughter's bike will be a pretty sweet Schwinn Pixie that I rescued last spring. It originally had solid rubber tires that were (thankfully) unusable, so I will replace them with new, lighter wheels. I am looking to save some weight with other components, too. Should be a fun project! I fondly remember my first "two wheeler". It was a candy apple red "wheelie" bike with a black vinyl banana seat. I don't recall if it had ape hanger bars on it, I seem to remember it had something more like north road style swept back bars on it. I rode it everywhere, and eventually blew the back tire because of my fondness for doing skids. I don't remember ever having any of the weird BMX style kids bikes; I think I went from my tricycle to that red bike with training wheels. As a father of a 5 month old daughter, I'm really keen to figure out what would be the best first bike for her, after she grows out of a tricycle I guess. I don't want to get her a piece of crap bike that she'll hate and not want to cycle. I want to get something that's really fun to ride and is actually comfortable for her. Some interesting suggestions here, so I guess I'll just keep my eyes out for what's out there. Those are really nice bikes, too, thanks for the pics! I think many of you are misunderstanding the BMX recommendations. While it doesn't surprise me that the creme-tire and floral-baskets set doesn't approve of the bmx thing, it really is the only option as far as kids bikes that aren't designed to be disposable. Sure, many teenaged bmxicans use the bmx bike to hang out more than to ride, but that's more about the age group than the bike. I rode my 20" EVERYWHERE from aged 9 or so until i was 16. Other bikes are faster and more efficient, but bmx is durable, low maintenance, and you don't grow out of 'em. Heavy? Sure, but all kids' bikes are heavy, excluding cu$$$tom bikes and some pretty cool variable wheelsized mtb that Carver used to sell. Would i love to see quality bikes for kids in a variety of styles? Sure. But, for now, the only affordable, durable bike for kids is the bmx. While they won't work for toddlers, they get the job done for pretty much any kid aged 8 thru 30. Vintage options would be cool, but as kfg pointed out, children's bikes have ever been built to a thin nickel. Survivor bikes, like the ones featured above, probably didn't see much action in their day. Restoring neglected, cheap bikes with poor initial builds, no maintenance, and little support in the parts department is hardly worthwhile. The real tragedy here is that, in the usa, cycling is often dismissed as a child's activity, but the children don't even get decent bikes. =( Back in those days (Yes, I was around then!), video games and such didn't exist. So, while I think that kids always have a touch of the magpie to them, I think all the wild electronic imagery they see today has something to do with their taste for flashy graphics and why we don't see kids' bikes like the ones you show in the photos. That said, as lovely as those bikes are, they're not as sturdy and won't ride as well as bikes from Schwinn, Raleigh or a few other makes I can think of. No bike shop I know of sold Columbias; those bikes--like Huffys, Murrays and Free Spirits--were found in department stores. Give it 20 years, V., and today's bikes with their bright colors and graphics will be classics, and we will be romanticizing them. I still use my metal lunch box from elementary school with its picture of Lassie rescuing Timmy from the lake, her mouth clamped down on on the collar of his shirt. I dunno... this all makes me uncomfortable. My son's bike is about what HE thinks is fun and ridable, not what I think is cool. And he doesn't like my vintage bikes at all. He wants the graphics and bright colors and something that looks modern, not some version of what I rode when I was a kid. Also, kids treat their bikes poorly, unless you're a helicopter parent. Mine drops his in the grass (and rocks) to go look at a cool worm on the sidewalk, doesn't get his kickstand up all the way and it falls over, rides it off curbs and over rocks, leaves it out in the yard where it might get stolen or rained on, and just generally acts like a normal six year-old. I could hover over him and insist he treat it like I treat my vintage rides, but why? He's a kid. Let him look at the worm without worrying about the bike. He worries about enough stuff already. So his bike is a cheapo from Toys 'R Us, and he rides it constantly and adores it. And that's the point: it's not what I would pick, but he enjoys it. And yeah, I had a steel bike when I was a kid... because that's all they made. And it had a banana seat and rainbow paint, because that was what was cool. Thank god my mother didn't insist that I ride a 50's-style cruiser because that's what SHE had and she was suffering from an attack of nostalgia. I picked my bike out of the Sears catalog, and loved it to death. Whether or not she would have liked it wasn't even an issue. Years later, I wanted a ten speed. She had never owned a ten speed. She bought me a three speed, almost identical to the vintage bike I own today. I HATED that bike. It nearly killed my desire to ride bicycles. Why? Because it was what SHE liked, not what I liked. So give your vintage nostalgia a break, and ask your (slightly older) child what he/she likes. Some kids like vintage bikes. Some don't. Then get the right bike for them. If you paid $200 for it, be prepared to eat it when they get going too fast and lose control and ride it into a curb (as my son did last year with his previous bike. Nicely bent frame, scraped up kid, but at least I didn't have to lecture him about his bike). Or hover and never let them ride too fast. You sound like a fantastic parent. I agree completely that the best present is one that brings a child joy, not one that fits the parent's idealised image of childhood. Jess and Anon - I agree with what you are saying, and do not suggest that parents ought to subjugate their children to their own tastes and nostalgias. I am also not talking about insisting that a child rides a puritanically plain bike vs a bike with rainbows. But when I look at children's bicycles today, I notice 2 things: First, they are very flimsily made. This is sad, and given that older bicycles were of better quality, it might make sense to restore an older bike instead of buying a new one. And second, most of the time today's kids' bikes seem to feature not just bright colours or pictures of cool stuff, but specific commercially manufactured entities, like Barbie or GI Joe. Some parents might not want that for their (young) kids, and I think that's valid. I'm not the sort of parent who freaks out about consumerism, as I guess I remember being heavily consumerized (is that a word?) as a child, and am no worse for it today. I was in the first TV-will-destroy-us-all! era, and I don't feel particularly destroyed, nor am I a rampant consumer today. I love the quality of older bikes. But I wouldn't restore one for my child, unless I was okay with him completely destroying said restoration. If I put time/effort into a bike, I'd want to see it taken care of. Why restore a kid's bike for a kid who can't even clean up his Legos without creating additional mess? That said, I could totally see a preteen or teen caring properly for a restored bike, if they valued it to begin with. And my 1978 Free Spirit steel rainbow bike was a piece of junk, but that didn't matter to me in the slightest. I rode it for 5 years, until it fell apart and/or rusted into oblivion. I wouldn't pay $15 for that bike now, except for the nostalgic value of it. It was a terrible mass-produced bike. Just like my son's Huffy :). So not all kid's bikes were well made. In fact, I bet the majority sold then weren't well made, any more than the majority sold today are. And it was a lot more expensive to buy a "cheap" bike then, than it is now: my mom paid $75 for that rainbow bike from the Sears catalog. In 1978! I'd rather have more kids riding bikes, than have better quality bikes that always cost parents $200. Anyway, viva kids on bikes, however that happens! And I love your bicycles. Beautiful and well-loved, and totally worth the restore. By all means, let's restore old kid's bicycles. Just don't give them to kids! Keep 'em for ourselves :P. Jess - Hear hear! Besides, I am not a parent of any sort, so these are all just ramblings on my end. I do wish I could compel my two cats to ride bikes, but so far all of my nostalgic cat-bike restorations have gone unappreciated by those heathens. You just need the right, very well latched basket and earplugs, and you could take those cats anywhere!
