A Classicist in Madrid
I recently had a flying visit to Madrid: two days' conference, one day's sightseeing, far more Spanish food than was reasonable given the length of my stay (top food tip: the Mercado de San Miguel, an entire market of stalls selling every possible kind of tapas…). However, as is traditional for RG travel repo rters, I selflessly devoted much of my free time to tracking down Classics-related features of the city for the benefit of our readers. First up: an iconographic tour of the city centre, starting with the Plaza Mayor, home to the Casa de la Panadería ('House of the Bakery', though it's now a town hall). This was built in the 17th century, but in the 1990s the front was redecorated with a new series of frescos depicting figures from classical mythology:
The fresco of Cybele in particular seems a fairly unexpected one to see on a public building in Madrid, and not just because of her depiction here in a form similar to that of the Artemis of Ephesus: the bear and tree at her feet are the symbol of the city of Madrid, implying that she's acting as a kind of patron goddess to the city. This must be a reference to the 18th-century Fuente de la Cibeles (Fountain of Cybele), just down the road from the art gallery district: here, Cybele (looking rather more respectable this time) sits in a chariot drawn by lions, holding a scepter and the key to the city, facing towards the city centre as though making a triumphal entry.
Fountain of Cybele
Cybele still seems an unlikely choice as a patron of the city, but I'm assuming this was influenced by her Romanised role as the protective Magna Mater (see, e.g., Aeneid 9.99ff., describing how Cybele's sacred trees provided the escaping Trojans with ships), rather than as the Phrygian goddess of a cult whose priests ritually castrated themselves. Particularly since the fountain is now the unofficial symbol of the Real Madrid football team.
By the way, that tree being eaten by a bear, which acts as the symbol of Madrid, is described as a 'strawberry tree'. I assumed this had to be some kind of mythical tree, but apparently it actually exists, though the fruits just look a bit like strawberries. The Spanish word for it is madroño, hence its association with Madrid; Latinists may know it as arbutus (which turns up, for instance, in Ovid's Metamorphoses 1.103-4, a description of foods eaten by the people of the Golden Age) but it's also known as unedo, a name explained by Pliny the Elder as follows:
pomum inhonorum, ut cui nomen ex argumento sit unum tantum edendi
"[It is] a fruit held in no regard, as proved by its name, which comes from the fact that people only ever eat one" (Naturalis Historia 15.32).
Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but apparently bears like it?
Anyway, the tour continues with the Plaza de la Puerta del Sol, at one end of which stands another bear-and-strawberry-tree, in statue form this time; at the other is the Venus Mariblanca (Venus of the white marble), a replica of a statue which once stood on top of a fountain here. Madrid certainly seems to like its slightly inappropriate fertility goddesses.
As you walk down the Calle Mayor towards the Royal Palace, make sure to look up as you pass Calle de los Milaneses to spot this statue:
Like a good Classicist, when I saw this I assumed it had to be a depiction of Icarus falling out of the sky, though he's generally described as falling into the sea rather than landing on his head on a building; but there's nothing at the site to explain the sculpture or why it's there. It turns out, however, that this isn't actually meant to be Icarus; the sculptor, Miguel Ángel Ruiz, entitled it Accidente Aereo (Flying Accident), explaining it as follows:
"Ten thousand years ago a winged man went on a trip, and when he returned, flying calmly on his back sunbathing, he didn't realise that in the meadow where he always landed a whole city had grown up. The result is this accident." (translated from a quotation here)
Even so, the statue still clearly evokes Icarus (or Lucifer) to most viewers, and for me, its placement – high above the street, where most people probably don't even notice it as they hurry past on the busy Calle Mayor – is actually quite reminiscent of the depiction of the fall of Icarus attributed to Bruegel the Elder, where all the focus of the painting is on the farmer in the foreground, going obviously on with his plowing while Icarus falls into the sea, barely visible.
Mention of paintings brings me on to the main sights to see in Madrid, namely the art galleries (all of which are free for students under 25) – the Prado in particular has an amazing (and vast) collection of Spanish and European art, including (of course) plenty of classically-inspired works (it's particuarly well-supplied with depictions of Saturn/Kronos eating his children, for some reason). Heretical as this may sound on a Classics blog, there is also of course a great deal of must-see non-Classics-related art (such as Picasso's Guernica in the Reina Sofia gallery). But if you want to stick with the Classical theme, then the place to go is the National Archaeological Museum (also free for students) – recently renovated and consequently very shiny, new, and large. I managed to squeeze in about an hour and a quarter here on my way to the airport (yes, I know, far too keen) but could easily have spent three times as long. Spanish collections start with the Palaeolithic and go up to the 19th century by way of the Bronze and Iron Ages, the Roman, Late Antique, Medieval and Early Modern periods, and there are also Egyptian, Ancient Near Eastern, and Greek collections. I only made it as far as the beginning of the Roman section before I had to run off to catch my train, but I can attest that there are some very nice things up to that point: Palaeolithic carvings on antlers, gold-hilted bronze swords, Phoenician-influenced terracotta funerary statues, and plenty of inscriptions in obscure, largely undeciphered Iberian scripts to keep the linguists/epigraphers happy; the same goes for the Roman section, the small part of which I did see contained a lot of bronze law-code tablets and also this clay tile with the first line of the Aeneid written on it (fortunately, as it happens, the rest of the Roman section has already been recently reviewed by another Faculty member).
The Lady of Baza
Arma virumque cano…
So, in conclusion: Madrid – highly recommended for art, archaeology, strange patron goddesses, sun (as I write this I am sitting looking out the window at the pouring rain. It got up to 35 degrees in Madrid last week) – oh, and did I mention the Spanish food already?

Dear Classicist,
Thank you very much for the post, it was very nice and friendly reading. I wanted to say just two comments in case they are usefull. Firstly, "madroño" is the name of a typical tree in Iberia Peninsula (I am from Spain, were I meet them, but am living in Portugal and they have this fruit too and made a liquor, "aguardente de medronho"). In Spain people is not shelling their fruits (I do not know why), the "madroño" fruit, but you can find this fruits in some places today as "Retiro Park" and eat their fruits (cleaning them very well because of the pesticides and contamination, as usual). The "madroño" fruit is not like a strawberry, is an spherical fruit (two or three centimetres in diameter), red outside and yellow inside, grainy surface with three or four little seeds. If I must compare them with other fruit, "madroños" remember me a kind of similar to Chinese "litchi". Bears like them as a sweet food.
I enjoyed your comments on the drawings too. They were made by a very kind artist I meet several years ago, Carlos Franco. He celebrate a very interesting exhibition about the frescos ten years ago (more or less).
Thank you very much again for your nice post,
Leonor Zozaya
Thanks Leonor – that's interesting to hear!
Thanks to you! I do not like wikipedia, but sometimes is usefull. Here you have pictures and info about madroños: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbutus_unedo

THE front seats of the jeep are tolerably comfortable, but the shallow, flat rear seat is a notorious back-breaker. It can be improved considerably by installing two pieces of 1/2 in. plywood, (photo 1, above right), hinged to the bottom of the seat frame. Position the back board to about the angle shown. To the front of the bottom board, attach short wooden feet (photo 2, right) about 10 inches long. The back board can be pushed forward, (photo 3, below) to give access to the hand crank mounted against the rear wall of the jeep.
The original spring bottom seat can be used again (photo 4, below). For back support, use old sofa cushions, or, better yet, life-preserver cushions.
This is the last of a series of four articles dealing with jeep modification. The others appeared in the October, and November, 1946 and April, 1947 issues of Mechanix Illustrated. These articles illustrated a number of ways of improving the utility, appearance and general comfort of this rugged little vehicle.
The Jeep illustrated at the top of the page was further enhanced by the addition of plywood top and sides. The windows are made of plexiglas.

Why TV Licences Are An Unlikely Feminist Issue
Story from News
Natalie Gil

If you want to watch TV in the UK – even if you're more likely to stream Netflix than switch on the BBC – you need a TV licence. Failing to purchase the document, which costs £154.50 a year, could land you with a fine of up to £1,000 for watching or recording live TV, including downloading or watching BBC shows on iPlayer (whether they're on live, catch up or on demand).
Paying the fee may be simple – it takes minutes via the TV Licensing website – but with eight million people in working households now in poverty, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, the annual expense is out of many people's reach and as a flat-rate fee, the TV licence is a bigger burden on poorer individuals and families than others.
TV licence evasion accounts for 30% of all female prosecutions (compared to 4% of male prosecutions).
Nearly three quarters (72%) of people prosecuted for TV licence evasion in 2017 (137,913 in total) were women, with the crime accounting for 30% of all female prosecutions (compared to 4% of male prosecutions) – making it the most common offence for which women were prosecuted, according to government figures. In addition, a greater proportion of women (94%) than men (92%) were convicted.
A Brief History Of Boris' Most Sexist Comments
We Need To Talk About Sexism In The Workplace
The most recent government figures show that 88,091 women were convicted of TV licence evasion in England and Wales last year, a substantial number of whom were in their 20s and 30s: 7,468 aged between 21-24, 17,477 between 25-29 and 31,576 between 30-39.
What explains this vast gender gap? The Perry Review said it was "not... possible to reach any definitive conclusion to explain the reason for this gender imbalance" and couldn't find "evidence of any discriminatory enforcement practice"; but women's groups, the TV Licensing body and the government have suggested several reasons.
"A contributing factor to this is the greater availability of females in the home when a TV Licensing Enquiry Officer visits the house in person," the Ministry of Justice posited in 2017. Enforcement officers visit households they suspect of watching or recording live TV without a valid licence when they're unable to contact anyone at the property by letter or over the phone.
Did you know? Nearly three quarters of those prosecuted 4 not having a TV license r women. Because they r home when enforcers call. It's the most common offence 4 which women are prosecuted. Prison is still used 2 punish debts relating 2 not paying Council tax or TV license. pic.twitter.com/VVFY117IX0
— Women in Prison (@WIP_live) June 12, 2019
The charity Women in Prison, which supports women affected by the criminal justice system and tweeted about the ongoing issue last month, also believes the disparity is because women are more likely to be "home when enforcers call". Speaking to Refinery29, Dr Kate Paradine, Women in Prison's CEO, said the situation was "as ludicrous as it is shameful and shows how broken the justice system is". She added: "Debt and poverty should never be punished by prison."
In its 2017 Gender Disparity Report, which addressed the issue head-on, TV Licensing also said it was because women were more likely to head up households, were more likely to be available "in the home at all time of the day to answer the door" to a TV Licensing officer, and were more likely to engage with an enforcer who comes knocking, particularly if the enforcer was also a woman.
Debt, poverty and criminal justice are feminist issues. Prosecution for TV licence evasion is part of a wider picture.
Jemima Olchawski, chief executive of Agenda
Given that women are also more likely to be poor (single women are at the highest risk of poverty of any group), struggling to pay bills and therefore disproportionately burdened by the fee, it's not a stretch to call the TV licence a feminist issue.
Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, director of the UK Women's Budget Group, told Refinery29 she was "not surprised that women are more likely to be convicted of non payment – since they are more likely to be poor than men, so more likely to have to face the choice between different bills." She described it as "very wrong" that so many women are in prison for non-violent offences, adding that it was an indication of "how our criminal justice system treats women".
Jemima Olchawski, chief executive of Agenda, the alliance for women and girls at risk, echoed this. "Debt, poverty and criminal justice are feminist issues. Prosecution for TV licence evasion is part of a wider picture of a punitive welfare and criminal justice system which disproportionately impacts women."
She continued: "The services, such as women's centres, that work with women to prevent offending and enable them to move on from difficult circumstances such as poverty, are facing devastating funding cuts. As a society we'd do far better to invest in those services than criminalising women for debt."
Many believe that not only are TV licences a feminist issue, they're also inherently unfair. Caroline Lévesque-Bartlett, a legal editor and French teacher, began campaigning against the TV licence four years ago and has garnered more than 335k signatures on her 38 Degrees petition to have it abolished. One of her main objections is the greater burden it places on poor households and she believes TV licence evasion is an "all round ludicrous crime" that disproportionately penalises women.
"I'm surprised that TV licence evasion is the most common offence for which women are prosecuted," she told Refinery29 when we outlined the data. "When I saw the stats [70% women versus 30% men having been prosecuted] I couldn't believe it. It's normally the other way around for crimes."
She continued: "There is no question that women are more often on the receiving end, but the problem is bigger than that. Why should anyone – students, people on benefits, over-75s now too – be forced to fund the BBC if all they want is to, say, watch ITV? It makes no sense. Why should anyone fear a criminal record for such a petty thing? There are far more sensible ways to fund the BBC."
Lévesque-Bartlett also believes the BBC's decision to withdraw free TV licences from all but the neediest over-75s from June 2020 could more negatively affect women than men. Indeed, the BBC itself said it will "have a more significant qualitative effect on women than men because women, especially older women, are more likely to be single, and so be reliant on TV for information and companionship."
A spokesperson from TV Licensing, the BBC's licence fee collection and enforcement body, said it "takes all reasonable steps to avoid prosecution, including not prosecuting first-time offenders if they buy a licence before the case comes before magistrates.
"Individuals cannot be imprisoned for licence fee evasion, only for non-payment of court-ordered fines. The decision to imprison an individual is made by a magistrate as a last resort and only after wilful or culpable refusal to pay.
"The number of women imprisoned in England and Wales in 2018 was four, a 50% reduction from the previous year's eight women. Prosecutions in England and Wales have fallen by 6% from 138,000 to 129,000 over the same period. The government's own independent review of TV licence fee enforcement, by David Perry QC, said that the TV Licensing system is broadly fair and proportionate."

To reach an inflammatory lesion, neutrophils must frequently traverse the epithelium of an infected organ. Whether the actual migration of neutrophils alters the epithelial permeability is unknown. Through the use of an in vitro model system it was possible to directly determine the effect of neutrophil emigration on the transepithelial electrical resistance of the monolayer. Human neutrophils (5 X 10(6) cells/ml) were placed in the upper compartment of a combined chemotaxis/resistance chamber and stimulated for 40 min by a gradient of 10(-7) M n-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine to traverse a confluent monolayer of canine kidney epithelial cells grown on micropore filters. Neither the chemoattractant alone (10(-5)-10(-9) M) nor the accumulation of an average of eight neutrophils per millimeter of epithelium lowered the transepithelial electrical resistance. However, under certain conditions the migration of neutrophils temporarily increased the permeability of the monolayer. The resistance fell approximately 48% within 5 min if the migratory cells were stimulated to reverse their migration across the same monolayer. As re-migration continued, the resistance returned to its initial levels within 60 min. Doubling the initial neutrophil concentration to 10 X 10(6) cells/ml resulted in the accumulation of an average of 66 neutrophils per millimeter of epithelium and an average fall in resistance of 46% (r = 0.98; P less than 0.001) in 40 min. If the resistance had fallen less than 45%, removal of the neutrophils remaining in the upper compartment resulted in a return of the transepithelial electrical resistance to its initial level within 65 min. However, when the fall was greater than 45%, the resistance only recovered to 23.5% of its initial levels within the same time frame. Thus, these results suggest that the integrity of an epithelium can, under certain conditions, be affected by the emigration of neutrophils, but that this effect is either completely or partially reversible within 65 min.

Organized monolayers of biological macromolecules on Au(111) Surfaces

Chemical & Forensic Sciences
Single-crystal electrochemistry and scanning tunneling microscopy directly in aqueous electrolyte solution (in situ STM) are established in physical electrochemistry but new in studies of adsorption and interfacial electrochemistry of biological macromolecules. These high-resolution techniques have now been applied comprehensively to proteins and other biomolecules in recent studies, discussed in this report. Focus is on three systems. The first one is a pair of amino acids, cysteine and cystine. These are strongly adsorbed via thiolate and disulfide, respectively, with identical reductive desorption and in situ STM patterns. Long-range lateral order can be imaged to molecular resolution. The amino acids are also reference molecules for the blue single-copper protein Pseudomonas aeruginosa azurin. This protein assembles in two well-defined orientations. One applies on bare Au(111) to which the protein is linked via its surface disulfide group. This orients the copper center away from the electrode surface. The other mode is by hydrophobic interactions with variable-length alkanethiols self-assembled on Au(111). In this mode the copper center is directed towards the surface. Adsorption and long-range electron tunneling in both modes have been characterized in detail using different electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques, as well as STM. Other data show that penta-(A-T) oligonucleotide adsorbed via a covalently bound thiol linker also displays reductive desorption and in situ STM to molecular resolution. The three systems thus appear to open new perspectives for broader use of high-resolution electrochemical techniques in comprehensive investigations of large biological molecules.

Tags: ABC, American Idol, Luke Bryan
This fall, ABC is set to relaunch the landmark singing competition, American Idol. However, up until this point, only one judge has been named for the show: pop star Katy Perry. Now, according to Variety, country music recording artist Luke Bryan will be taking the second slot on the panel. The site also reports that the show will return to its original three-judge lineup as opposed to the four judges that served on later seasons. Still, that third judge has yet to be determined. ABC declined to comment to Variety about a possible deal with Bryan. American Idol — with returning host Ryan Seacrest —is set to debut this fall on ABC.

Can I order ride for someone else?
Yes. Simply enter the current location of the person needing a ride and make the request. You will be the person paying for the ride and you can track that person's trip.
Yes. Once the trip is initiated, the passenger would have the ability to connect with the driver by a calling or text. Just go to the contact driver button and choose your method.
Yes. We have a feature on the app that allows you to leave a tip for your driver to keep the system cashless and maintain the safety of both driver and passenger.
Do I get a receipt for my trips?
Yes. A receipt is emailed to the passenger after every trip.
How do I know when my driver has arrived?
Passengers are able to follow the progress of their driver on the app and a notification is also sent letting passenger know that their driver has arrived.
I requested a ride but now I don't need it anymore. Can I cancel and would I be charged?
Yes. Simply cancel the ride on the app. If you cancelled in less that five minutes of requesting the ride, their will be now charge. After 5 minutes, a nominal fee of $10 will be charged to cover the driver's gas and inconvenience.
No. The system is designed for requests to go to the closest driver who is online. This ensures that your driver gets to you in the shortest possible time.
Yes. At the end of each trip, both passenger and driver are able to rate each other. This helps everyone to be at their very best.
I have a party of 5-7. Can we still order a ride?
Yes. Change the level of service you are requesting by touching the XL button. A minivan or SUV that can hold between 5 and 7 passengers will come to you.
I have more than 7 passengers. What should we do?
Simply order multiple drivers. Get more friends to request rides. E.g. Passengers ordering 2 regular Quikpikup vehicles.
10 passengers= order 1 XL and 1 regular Quikpikup. Etc.
I am going to a very special occasion, or I am taking someone very special out, and I want to ensure that I get a high end vehicle for my trip.
No problem. Simply touch the LUX button on the app and request a ride. A vehicle such as a Lincoln Town Car, Mercedes, BMW, etc. will arrive to pick you up.
Is there a minimum charge for rides?
Yes. If you order a ride and it is very short and would have come up to less than $10, the app will round up the cost to be $10. This is to make sure drivers are properly compensated for their gas and time.
Can I be a passenger and driver?
Yes. We want all our drivers to use the system as a passenger too and be safe when going out. Using the system as a passenger will also give you a better understanding of the app and help you to deliver an even better experience to the passengers.
We also want passengers who want to earn extra income to sign up to drive too. Just follow instructions on the app to get started.
How long does it take to get approved as a driver?
The driver approval process is quick and easy. Once you submit all the required documents, your will be pre approved within a week. You may then have to appear in person to have your documents verified.
Do I pay extra for other people in my party?
No. When you order a trip, you have sole use of the vehicle. You do not have to pay extra for additional passengers. So let Quikpikup collect all the people in your party so you can ride in the same vehicle and no one has to worry about driving.
When the trip has ended, do I have to do anything?
Not really. All you do, when it is convenient to you, is rate your driver and add a tip if you feel the service deserved it. This is done through the app.
Can I smoke during my trip?
Can I ask my driver to make multiple stops along the way to my destination?
Yes. For Example, to pick up other members of your party; to buy something; to use ATM; to use a bathroom etc.

Namaste Mashable – Welcome To India
By Mohul Ghosh Last updated Feb 7, 2017
Mashable.com, one of the most popular and widely read online news community and blog has decided to expand in India. They have partnered with Zee Entertainment backed India.com for local content and distribution, and have plans to establish their own editorial teams at New Delhi and Mumbai very soon.
Pete Cashmore, founder of Mashable announced their India expansion plans on Twitter:
Mashable is excited to be expanding into India. Here's the announcement: http://t.co/iE5yIgBOjP
— Pete Cashmore (@petecashmore) February 18, 2015
Earlier, Adam Ostrow who is the Chief Strategy Officer at Mashable, posted a blog declaring their India plans. He said, "We at Mashable are pleased to announce the next step in our evolution as a global media brand: the creation of Mashable India, in partnership with India.com."
Venture Capital Effect?
Last month, Pete Cashmore announced fresh funding of $17 million in Series B capital, led by Warner Brothers. In that announcement, Peter had made clear that the fresh funding would be utilized for expansion in Asia-Pacific region, and it seems that the India plan was in the making since some time.
Just before the funding announcement, on his Twitter account, he had followed Zee Entertainment MD and CEO Puneet Goenka. It seems that Mashable had plans of India expansion since long, and the fresh venture infusion finalized it.
As per their website, Mashable currently attracts 42 million visitors every month, and has 20 million social media followers, which is increasing at a rate of 25-30% annually.
Currently, India is Mashable's biggest market out of USA. As per their Alexa stats, USA accounts for 45% of monthly traffic, followed by India at 14.6%, Canada at 3.4% and UK at 3.2%. From the point of view of traffic expansion, the decision to open a dedicated India site makes perfect sense for Mashable.
But Why Partnership With India.com?
India.com is a joint venture between Zee Entertainment and USA based Penske Media Corporation, which purchased 40% stake in 2010. As per Alexa, India.com is ranked 66 in India, and 84% of all visits originate from India. It has high search engine traffic, and publishes regional content as well. Besides publishing their own content, India.com curates content from partner sites such as BGR.in, CricketCountry.com, BollywoodLife.com, TheHealthSite.com, Prepsure.com, BrownPaperBag.in.
As per Zeenews, India.com reaches 45 million visitors every month.
Hence, if Mashable decided to venture on its own, then India.com and its partner websites could have been a major competitor to them. Instead of fighting them, they decided to join forces and create a stronger base for the expansion.
Last year in August, Huffington Post, another big-weight online publication portal from USA expanded in India and they partnered with Times Internet for the India centric venture. Times already has partnership with portals such as Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Business Insider, Ask Men etc.
Earlier in 2014, Quartz decided to partner with Scroll for their India expansion.
India already has 300 million Internet users right now, and will have 650 million+ smartphone users in the next 5 years. Our literacy rate is increasing, so is the hunger for fresh, exciting content which we want delivered right in our phone, accessible via single tap or click.
And international publications are in NO position to ignore this gigantic market.
Welcome to India, Mashable – We wish you best of luck!

Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. è una società americana di vendita e distribuzione di biglietti per eventi con sede a Beverly Hills, in California, operativa in molti paesi del mondo. Nel 2010 si è fusa con Live Nation in Live Nation Entertainment ().

La compagnia offre la vendita dei biglietti digitalmente o nei suoi due principali centri di distribuzione situati a Charleston, nella Virginia Occidentale, e Pharr, in Texas, sia per i mercati primari che secondari. I clienti di Ticketmaster includono incontri sportivi, artisti e promotori. I clienti controllano i loro eventi stabilendo i prezzi dei biglietti e Ticketmaster ne gestisce la distribuzione.

Storia
Ticketmaster fu fondata a Phoenix, in Arizona, nel 1976 da Peter Gadwa, un programmatore informatico, Albert Leffler, uno specialista del botteghino, nonché da Gordon Gunn III, Thomas Hart Jr., Dan Reeter e Jerry Nelson. La società inizialmente concedeva in licenza programmi per computer e vendeva hardware per sistemi di biglietteria, per poi passare alla biglietteria computerizzata nel 1982. Il suo primo biglietto fu per un evento dell'Electric Light Orchestra, tenutosi presso l'Università del New Mexico. Nel 1985 la compagnia si trasferì a Los Angeles. All'epoca operava negli Stati Uniti, in Canada e in Europa.

Nel maggio 1994, la band grunge Pearl Jam presentò un reclamo al Dipartimento di Giustizia degli Stati Uniti affermando che Ticketmaster aveva rimosso il gruppo dalle prenotazioni dei locali a causa di una disputa sulle commissioni. L'inchiesta fu chiusa senza conseguenze nel 1995, sebbene il Dipartimento di Giustizia dichiarò che avrebbe continuato a monitorare gli sviluppi nel settore dei biglietti. Chuck Philips, un giornalista che ha trattato il problema, ha dichiarato, stando a fonti vicine al caso, che l'inchiesta è stata chiusa a causa di una carenza di risorse, quindi delle scarse prospettive dovute alla difficoltà del caso.

Il periodo in InterActiveCorp
Nel 1998, USA Networks Inc., in seguito denominata InterActiveCorp (IAC), acquisì una quota di maggioranza di Ticketmaster. Nello stesso anno, la società si fuse con CitySearch e venne ribattezzata Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch. Nel maggio 2000, Ticketmaster Online-CitySearch acquisì TicketWeb Inc., un venditore di biglietti online e via telefono. Nel 2003, IAC ha riacquistato le rimanenti azioni Ticketmaster che aveva precedentemente ceduto.

Nel settembre 2006, il presidente di Ticketmaster Sean Moriarty dichiarò a NPR che Ticketmaster aveva fatto pressioni su diversi stati per emanare leggi che limitassero il mercato della rivendita dei biglietti alle società autorizzate. Gli economisti temevano che queste leggi avrebbero danneggiato la concorrenza, ma Moriarty espresse la necessità di ridurre gli scalper corrotti e i biglietti contraffatti.

Nel gennaio 2008, Ticketmaster acquisì Paciolan Inc., uno sviluppatore di applicazioni e hosting per sistemi di ticketing, al termine di un contenzioso sulla possibile violazione delle leggi antitrust. Sempre a gennaio, Ticketmaster acquisì un marketplace secondario dei biglietti con sede nel Regno Unito, Getmein.com.

Nell'estate del 2008, IAC scorporò Ticketmaster, rendendola una compagnia indipendente. Nello stesso anno, Ticketmaster acquisì Front Line Management, una società di management per artisti che ha avuto nella clientela gli Aerosmith, Christina Aguilera e Jimmy Buffett. Il CEO di Front Line Irving Azoff è diventato CEO della nuova società, che è stata ribattezzata Ticketmaster Entertainment.

Fusione con Live Nation
Nel febbraio 2009, Ticketmaster stipulò un accordo di fusione con il promotore di eventi Live Nation per formare Live Nation Entertainment. L'accordo venne approvato dal Dipartimento di Giustizia degli Stati Uniti nel gennaio 2010 a condizione che la società vendesse Paciolan a Comcast Spectacor o un'altra società e concedesse in licenza il suo software ad Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), il suo principale concorrente. La nuova società sarebbe stata inoltre soggetta a disposizioni per 10 anni che le impedivano di rivalersi contro i venditori che avrebbero collaborato con le biglietterie concorrenti. Il CEO di Live Nation, Michael Rapino, fu nominato CEO della nuova società.

Un anno dopo la fusione, Live Nation ha risolto una precedente azione legale contro Ticketmaster, che sosteneva che la società avrebbe ingannato i querelanti nelle sue descrizioni delle spese di consegna e di elaborazione. Nel 2018, il Dipartimento di Giustizia degli Stati Uniti ha iniziato a riesaminare i reclami di AEG secondo cui la società si era impegnata in pratiche anticoncorrenziali. Ad aprile 2018, il Dipartimento di Giustizia non aveva rilasciato commenti sulla sua indagine.

Crescita e acquisizioni
Nel 2015 Ticketmaster ha acquisito Front Gate, un servizio di biglietteria per festival musicali che ha fornito eventi tra cui Lollapalooza e Austin City Limits. Lo stesso anno, la società ha acquisito Universe, una piattaforma per biglietterie fai-da-te. Nel 2017, TicketWeb, la piattaforma di biglietteria self-service di Ticketmaster, ha acquisito Strobe Labs, una piattaforma di marketing che consentiva agli utenti di commercializzare ai fan attraverso i social media. Nel 2018, Ticketmaster ha acquisito UPGRADED, una società che converte i biglietti tradizionali in asset digitali interattivi sicuri protetti da blockchain, fornendo ai creatori di eventi un maggiore controllo e visibilità sulla distribuzione dei biglietti e proteggendo i fan da biglietti fraudolenti.

Prodotti e servizi
Ticketmaster vende biglietti che i suoi clienti le mette a disposizione. Nel 2009, Ticketmaster rilasciò un sistema di biglietteria digitale che richiedeva ai clienti di dimostrare la propria identità prima dell'acquisto. La società riteneva che ciò avrebbe aiutato a eludere broker e scalper.

Nel 2016, Ticketmaster ha rilasciato una dichiarazione a favore del Better Online Ticket Sales Act (BOTS Act), che ha vietato negli Stati Uniti l'uso di bot di biglietti per acquistare grandi quantità di biglietti online e rivenderli a prezzi gonfiati. L'anno seguente, la compagnia ha intentato una causa contro il broker di biglietti Prestige Entertainment dopo che la compagnia ha fatto uso di bot per acquistare più di 30.000 biglietti per il musical a Broadway "Hamilton".

Prezzi
Il valore nominale dei biglietti Ticketmaster è determinato dall'artista o dal cliente. Oltre al prezzo nominale, i venditori e Ticketmaster aggiungono commissioni per ripagare i loro servizi.

In genere, le commissioni aggiunte al valore nominale di un biglietto includono:

 Commissione di servizio - Commissione di Ticketmaster per il suo servizio.
 Costo della struttura - Costo aggiunto dalla sede.
 Spese di spedizione, di convenienza e di elaborazione - Spese aggiunte in base al metodo di consegna del biglietto e alle commissioni della carta di credito.

Gli importi delle commissioni variano in base agli eventi e dipendono dalla sede, dai metodi di consegna disponibili e dalle preferenze dell'artista. Alcuni economisti e gruppi di attivisti hanno affermato che i prezzi elevati dei biglietti sono dovuti alla mancanza di concorrenza nel settore della musica.

Nel 2003 fu intentata una causa legale contro Ticketmaster, sospettata di non aver informato correttamente UPS sul meccanismo delle spese di elaborazione degli ordini, aggiunte ai biglietti venduti online. Il caso è stato risolto nel 2015 e Ticketmaster ha emesso buoni e codici sconto per i fan che hanno acquistato biglietti online tra il 1999 e il 2013. In un caso collegato, Ticketmaster ha intentato causa contro il suo assicuratore di responsabilità civile, Illinois Union Insurance Company, una consociata di ACE Limited (), nel 2010 per non averla assistita alla difesa nella causa del 2003.

Nel 2013, la jam band The String Cheese Incident ha offerto ai fan soldi per acquistare 400 biglietti per uno dei suoi spettacoli al fine di rivenderli sul proprio sito con meno tasse. La band ha lamentato le tasse sui biglietti di Ticketmaster, mentre Ticketmaster ha sostenuto che la band stava prendendo entrate da locali e promotori.

Nel giugno 2019, Ticketmaster è stata multata per 3,4 milioni di dollari dall'Ufficio Competizioni canadese a causa dell'eccessivo prezzo dei biglietti da app online e mobili di Ticketmaster Canada, che superavano i costi pubblicizzati di oltre il 20% a causa di commissioni aggiuntive. Oltre alla multa, Ticketmaster ha firmato un accordo di consenso per garantire che le sue politiche pubblicitarie avrebbero rispettato la legge canadese.

Mercato di rivendita
Nel gennaio 2008, Ticketmaster ha acquisito TicketsNow, un rivenditore di biglietti negli Stati Uniti, per $ 265 milioni.

In un articolo del 2009 della Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Ticketmaster sosteneva che in Ontario era necessaria una legislazione per proteggere i fan da scalper e broker di biglietti non autorizzati dicendo: "Sappiamo entrambi che esiste un fiorente settore di broker di biglietti... la legge è davvero una finzione... Riteniamo fortemente che la legge debba essere modernizzata per riflettere la realtà del commercio via Internet. Mantenendo un limite di prezzo in atto, si sta solo guidando il business [di rivendita] nell'ombra." Nello stesso anno, il musicista Bruce Springsteen lamentò di un conflitto di interessi tra Ticketmaster e TicketsNow, dato che i fan venivano indirizzati su TicketsNow una volta che i biglietti per il suo concerto erano esauriti su Ticketmaster.com. Irving Azoff, allora CEO di Ticketmaster, rilasciò scuse ufficiali e annunciò che il link di TicketNow non sarebbe più stato mostrato per i concerti di Springsteen.

Nel settembre 2018, Toronto Star ha riferito che Ticketmaster non stava applicando le regole sui limiti dei biglietti sulla sua piattaforma di rivendita, TradeDesk. Ticketmaster ha negato le accuse, dichiarando che avrebbe esaminato le sue politiche di rivendita su TradeDesk e che "non consente mai agli scalper di biglietti di acquistare i biglietti prima dei fan". Un mese dopo, un gruppo di clienti ha intentato un'azione legale contro Ticketmaster.

Ticketmaster ha lanciato TicketExchange nel Regno Unito nell'agosto 2018. Nel 2013, Ticketmaster ha lanciato senza campagne di presentazione Ticketmaster Plus, la piattaforma di rivendita dell'azienda, riunendo il mercato secondario e il mercato primario su Ticketmaster. Al 2018, Ticketmaster era il mercato n. 2 per la rivendita di biglietti.

A luglio 2019, Ticketmaster ha ricevuto l'attenzione dei media quando è stato svelato che la band Metallica ha lavorato con Live Nation, la società madre di Ticketmaster, per porre i biglietti direttamente sul mercato di rivendita invece di venderli al valore nominale tramite Ticketmaster.

Violazione dei dati
Nel giugno 2018, Ticketmaster ha comunicato a 40.000 clienti del Regno Unito di aver rilevato un hack causato da un malware contratto da un prodotto di supporto clienti di terze parti. La società ha dichiarato che i clienti che hanno acquistato i biglietti tra febbraio e giugno 2018 potrebbero aver subito una compromissione dei dati.

Partner
Ticketmaster ha collaborazioni con rivenditori, campionati sportivi professionisti, spettacoli musicali e tournée teatrali a livello internazionale. Ticketmaster ha collaborato con interpreti musicali come Taylor Swift, la Trans-Siberian Orchestra e produzioni teatrali come Hamilton e Harry Potter e la maledizione dell'erede.

Ticketmaster è stato il fornitore di biglietti per la National Hockey League (NHL) e la National Basketball Association (NBA). Nel 2008, Ticketmaster ha stipulato un accordo con la National Football League (NFL) per gestire il proprio mercato di rivendita su NFL TicketExchange.

Nel 2017, Ticketmaster ha annunciato l'apertura della piattaforma TicketExchange per consentire la vendita e la convalida dei biglietti su siti web di terzi, incluso StubHub. Ticketmaster ha anche collaborato con la United States Tennis Association, Tennis Canada e il PGA Tour.

Verruca (warts) can affect any part of the skin. These growths are caused by a virus, the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). They are often asymptomatic but can be itchy, painful, tender and even bleed when irritated. There are many treatments for warts. When over-the counter remedies do not provide improvement there are numerous additional treatments that can be provided by a dermatologist. In addition to the over the counter products, warts can be treated with salicylic acid, cantharidin, cryosurgery, electrosurgery, surgical removal, and with the use of injections into the growths.

San Diego's Sapphire Energy Producing Green Crude From NM Algae Farm
Bruce V. Bigelow
@bvbigelow
Xconomy San Diego —
San Diego's Sapphire Energy says today it has harvested 81 tons of algal biomass from its farm in Columbus, N.M., less than two months after the first phase of its "green crude farm" became operational.
The venture-backed company, which financed the project with a combination of private and public funding, says the demonstration proves that Sapphire can harvest algae from commercial-scale ponds—totaling 100 acres so far—and produce ready-to-refine crude oil. The project features at least one 2.2-acre pond that is one-eighth of a mile long, and ranks as the largest algae pond ever built.
"There are a bunch of firsts," Sapphire Energy spokesman Tim Zenk told me this morning by phone. "Nobody has ever used two-acre ponds before. We use a wet extraction process [to produce crude oil from algae], and the volume is significantly larger than anything else."
Aerial View of Algae Ponds
Once harvested, the solution is about 1 percent algae and water. Most of the water is recycled, yielding an algae concentrate, or sludge. Since June, the plant has produced about 21 million gallons of algae by volume, equal to 81 tons by weight. The extraction process has produced "barrels" of green crude oil from the algae sludge so far, but Zenk added, "I don't know how many."
While Sapphire also refers to its green crude farm as "an integrated algal bio-refinery," Zenk explained that the final product is a "green crude oil" that is equivalent to crude oil pumped out of the ground. Sapphire's demonstration project does not include a conventional oil refinery that … Next Page »

Native regions and distribution: Native range is unclear but thought to be Central and South America. It is found throughout the world in subtropical and temperate zones where it is considered invasive. It is found in the south central, east and Midwest sections of the U.S.
Urban habitat: C. halicacabum can be found growing in a wide range of ecological conditions, including wet or seasonal climates, acid and basic soils, and in dry, marshy or periodically flooded places. It prefers sunny places, and is often found in wastelands, roadsides, grassland, scrub, hedges and forest edges, and in cultivated areas. It is very successful invading forest margins, woodland, grassland, riverbanks, floodplains and rocky sites. In China it is described as a common weed in forest margins, shrublands, grasslands, cultivated areas and wastelands of the east, south and southwest.
Ecological function: Food and habitat for insects and other wildlife.


The Wildlife Conservation Module is designed to help students understand the ecological, cultural and social significance of our nature reserves. This module is designed to tie into the curriculum and educate the students about biodiversity, field research, park administration, geography, communities and conservation initiatives through hands on activities.
All the modules run in and around prominent national parks of the world. These biodiversity treasure troves are under constant threat from poaching for wildlife trade, habitat loss, human-animal conflict and resource depletion. All the modules will be run keeping these issues at the center, ensuring that the service modules work towards mitigation of these threats.
1. This module enables teachers to meet the ecological conservation learning outcomes of IGCSE Biology, IB Biology and IB ESS. It also attends to the Geography learning outcomes and can be alligned to the English national curriculum.
2. The destination featuring terrestrial module can also facilitate data collection and field research to meet the IB Internal Assesment objectives.
3. Terrestrial module can also be run in conjunction with service and sustainability module facilitating environmental conservation.
Tiger Conservation and working with the impacted communities is one of the varied designs of this module. The field research projects, bio-mimicry fueled exploration and safaris have been instrumental in triggering new ideas and projects.
Shashank's example reflects how these trips can be effective tools for generating ideas. A similar trip trip led him to choose "Population Trends of Tigers" as a topic for his IBDP extended essay, which focused on population modelling using regression.


Can you see us? Photo © Brewers Association.
It's Monday. We're collectively slouched in a random corner on Level 3 of the Music City Center (Nashville's expansive convention complex). We're surrounded by empty exhibitor booths, trapped by a collection of tiny taster cups that have walled us into a corner. Last week, we spent three days canvassing the Craft Brewers Conference and BrewEXPO America in Tennessee, researching the latest equipment, sifting through the freshest ingredients and discussing the American craft brewing industry with the nation's biggest and smallest brewhouses.
Now, everyone is gone, and we're just sitting here on the floor. The quiet is nice. We've already done exactly one zillion stories on CBC this whole month and last, and we'll continue that coverage over the next month-plus as we delve into the hot topics we've discovered. Right now, we're just trying to find the will to stand and go home. Till then, enjoy some sights from the 2018 CBC. We took a lot of photos.

NEW YORK — Uneasy after downbeat earnings from Merck and Lexmark International, investors sold off stocks today to lock in profits from Friday's rally. Prices on Wall Street fell sharply.
The downward pressure came despite better-than-expected earnings and an encouraging outlook from 3M, indicating that investors on the whole are less impressed with second-quarter results than they were with those of the first quarter, which prompted huge rallies.
Analysts also attributed the declines to the market having climbed too high, too fast.
"All this is about is the market has gone very far over the last 16 weeks, specifically the Nasdaq (composite index). It has to pull back. ... I think all that has happened here is the market is just pooped out," said Gary Kaltbaum, president of Investors' Edge Partners, a money management firm in Orlando, Fla.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed down 91.46, or 1 percent, at 9,096.69, according to preliminary calculations. The loss wiped out much of Friday's 137.33-point gain.
The broader market also retreated. The Nasdaq dropped 27.03, or 1.6 percent, to 1,681.47. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 14.52, or 1.5 percent, to 978.80.
Today's economic data met economists' expectations. The Conference Board reported that its Index of Leading Economic Indicators advanced for a third month, rising by 0.1 percent in June. The index gauges what economic conditions are likely to be like in the coming three to six months.
Earnings reports today were mixed, but investors seemed to focus on those that were disappointing.
"There is this feeling that because of the great run we have already had that some of the good news has been built into the market," said Robert Froelich, chief investment strategist for Deut-sche Asset Management in Chi-cago.
The Dow's biggest loser was Merck, which dropped $1.95 to $59.82 after missing earnings expectations by a penny a share. Merck's news affected other drug makers, with Lilly falling $1.04 to $66.14 and Pfizer declining 85 cents to $32.54.
Printer maker Lexmark slid $14.10, or 19.2 percent, to $59.40, having also missed earnings estimates by a penny and having cut its third-quarter outlook. Rival Canon also traded lower, declining $1.29 to $45.86.
3M climbed $5.25 to $136.43 after reporting that second-quarter profits beat analysts' forecast by 5 cents a share and raising its estimates for the year. It was easily the Dow's biggest gainer.
As companies report second-quarter earnings, the market hasn't seen the large rallies that followed the release of first-quarter results. Some analysts say that's because there haven't been enough companies raising their earnings estimates for the third and fourth quarter, even though most of them have been meeting or beating second-quarter expectations.
Other analysts say it's because the market has simply become overpriced. At the end of Friday's session, the Nasdaq was up 34.4 percent from the March 11 lows, while the Dow was up 22.1 percent and the S&P was up 24.1 percent.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers slightly more than 5 to 2 on the New York Stock Exchange. Volume was light.
The Russell 2000 index, which tracks smaller company stocks, fell 7.59, or 1.6 percent, to 457.17.
Overseas, France's CAC-40 fell 1.5 percent, Britain's FTSE 100 declined 0.7 percent and Germany's DAX index shed 2.4 percent. Japan's markets were closed for Marine Day, a national holiday.

Imperial Crane
Imperial Crane is an American success story that began with a simple, uneducated man, a son of German bean farmers who in 1969 had the courage to buy a single 25-ton crane. With unmatched tenacity, the straight-shooting, outspoken John Bohne worked his knuckles raw to become one of the most powerful businessmen in Chicago, while also building what has become one of the largest crane companies in the world. Whether it's the famed Trump Tower, a Citgo Petroleum plant, a British Petroleum oil facility or a common daily taxi rental service in the tough American marketplace, Imperial Crane will rise to the occasion every time. With their enormous fleet, they have proudly completed thousands of projects with impeccable performance, while consistently delivering to their clients the highest levels of safety in the industry. Since his father's passing in 2003, B.J. Bohne has led Imperial Crane Services as President and CEO. The award-winning company has grown under B.J.'s leadership from eighty employees to over five hundred, increased its fleet from thirty to over three hundred cranes, and has nearly quadrupled its revenues from $30 million to over $100 million, elevating its prominence from Chicago's largest crane company to one of the largest crane companies in the world. B.J. is also the founder & CEO of several other businesses across the country, which makes him, irrefutably, one of America's top young business titans. He serves as an avid philanthropist through his charity, The Bohne Foundation, dedicated to needy children, education, medical research, and to serving the needs of local communities around the world.

My name is Allison Cratin and I live in a small town called Holly Spring, Ms. I have barrel raced since I was two years old. I will soon be attending the University of Tennessee at Martin to become a Veterinarian and plan to be apart of their rodeo team. My biggest accomplishment would be winning the 3D average in 2017 at the Dynamite Barrel Race in Memphis. What made that so special is that horse four months later was diagnosed with a career ending injury. At the time I was seasoning a young and inexperienced horse, so I had to step up and get that horse ready to go so I can do what I love. Now that horse is my main mount and has almost reached his full potential.

In October John and I spent a few days in Paris after visiting Munich. While there we met up with Michele from Oswego Tea and visited a Poilâne bakery. This warm and rustic shop held a mouth-watering array of breads and other baked goods.
We purchased a lusciously flaky and buttery croissant, butter cookies, and a portion of a Poilâne sourdough loaf.
Of all the croissants I have tasted, I would venture to say that this one was most worthy of the phrase "melts in your mouth." The flaky exterior enveloped a light, smooth, and milky interior. A pleasure to eat.
Michele took us to La Grande Epicerie nearby where we wandered through the store gushing at the fancy (not to mention expensive) goods. John and I bought simple sandwiches at their deli and a fantastic chèvre to go with our bread.
The bread had a thick and chewy crust dusted with flour and beautifully crafted. The crumb was moist, golden, and resilient and had a nutty, sour taste. The simple elegance of this bread is stunning. I politely envy Michele for living so near to this bakery.
Mmmmm. It seems like years since I've had a really wonderful melt in your mouth croissant-- probably when I was in Paris, come to think of it.
Enjoy Gemma. You're making my mouth water from miles and miles away.
Thanks Mindy. I have to admit that I have never tried to make croissants. They seem quite difficult. Perhaps when I get back to Chi-town we can try our hand at them. What do you say?
I think it was hard to get inspired to bake this summer what with the oven/horrid heat combination, but now that its getting cooler I keep wishing you were around to bake with me.
Perfect timing, I will be back Feb 1st and I guarantee it will be cold enough to yearn for a hot oven. I will be homeless and looking for one as well. I can't wait.
You guys are always welcome at my house if staying with parents gets too exhausting. I'm sure L would love to have company as well.


We are having a fantastic week in Lucan CNS being active as part of Active Week. We have been coming into school at 8:30 am and taking part in physical activities for 30 minutes going from station to station. In preparation for Active Week, we designed some art work to display on our windows in front of our school so we could spread the 'Active Message'; 'Get Fit', 'Get Active', 'Get Your Body Moving'. We are very proud of our work and we loved having the chance to do some art work linked to physical activity.
learned about the importance of keeping an active mind.
We did this through some yoga, we are very lucky that one of our parents in our class is a yoga teacher. We had a great afternoon learning about yoga and how it helps our bodies and minds. We were very relaxed after our lesson and we can't wait to do some more.

Feast of musical magic with meal
Dean T Betton and Robert Taylor stage Pure Imagination
Anna Cryer
A new show, inspired by singing super stars Michael Ball and Fleetwood's Alfie Boe, will be staged on Friday night.
Dean T Betton and Robert Taylor usually perform as tribute acts to pop legends George Michael and Robbie Williams, but wanted to try something new.
Pure Imagination comes to Dahlia's Kitchen, Cropper Road, with the duo presenting a range of hits from Broadway and the West End.
A spokesman said: "Singing memorable songs from Michael and Alfie's two albums along with other classics from hit musicals Les Miserables, My Fair Lady, The Lion King, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and many more.
"Robert and Dean decided to put a show together that will allow them to explore songs and sing in a way that they don't normally get to experience as well as working as a duo and creating great vocal harmonies and sounds that will be a feast for your ears.
"It is a night not to be missed as the audience are taken on a journey through songs made famous by not only Ball and Boe but the wonderful voices of Josh Groban, Il Divo and Frank Sinatra to name but a few."
Tickets include a three-course meal.

Each of the contacts I have from the League of Light has a characteristic frequency "feeling", and a characteristic personality in alien handwriting.
Some are slanted forward, some backward, some are very loopy, some very square. The printing is notable for how it is formed: the pen begins always on the baseline, and the letter traced upward, and usually backward from where I am accustomed to it tracing.
On this page, you'll see handwritten messages as well as examples of various "alien" handwriting styles.
Anica's handwriting is notable. She is the most present figure among the contact points I have within and beyond the League of Light for the simple fact that she is related directly by DNA, and is, as she describes it, my "chosen future perfected self." Her handwriting fills the space between lines completely, with big, looping curves and a distinctively forward-driving energy as the pen moves across the paper. I can hear her writing in the rhythmic scratching of the pen on paper as much as I can see it threading its way across the pages.
