is a Spanish automotive–engineering company. It was founded in 1904 by Marc Birkigt and Damian Mateu as an automobile manufacturer and eventually had several factories in Spain and France that produced luxury cars, aircraft engines, trucks and weapons. In 1923, its French luxury car arm became a semi-autonomous partnership with the Spanish parent company. In 1946, the Spanish parent company sold all of its Spanish automotive assets to Enasa, a Spanish state-owned vehicle manufacturer, and the French arm continued as an independent aviation engine and components manufacturer under the Hispano-Suiza name. In 1968, Hispano-Suiza was taken over by the aerospace company Snecma, which is now part of the French Safran Group. An attempt to relaunch the marque was made by the company Hispano Suiza Cars associated with the Peralada Group (owned by the Suqué Mateu family) in 2019 with a fully-electric car.

History

Early years
In 1898, a Spanish artillery captain, Emilio de la Cuadra, started electric automobile production in Barcelona under the name of La Cuadra. In Paris, Emilio de la Cuadra met the Swiss engineer Marc Birkigt and hired him to work for the company in Spain. Under his direction, two types of La Cuadra gasoline-powered engine cars were started immediately, one equipped with a 4.5 hp single-cylinder explosion engine and another 1.1-litre two-cylinder model, 7.5 hp. In 1900, these two explosion engines were the first designed and built in Spain by La Cuadra from a Birkigt design. These cars had four wheels, the previous two directional, clutch mechanisms, 3-speed gearbox, chain drive and suspension by crossbows. Two complete vehicles were completed, and there were some more under construction. At some point in 1902, the ownership changed hands to José María Castro Fernández and became Fábrica Hispano-Suiza de Automóviles (Spanish-Swiss Automobile Factory) but this company went bankrupt in December 1903.

Yet another restructuring took place in 1904, creating La Hispano-Suiza Fábrica de Automóviles under Castro's direction, also based in Barcelona. Four new engines were introduced in the next year and a half; a 3.8-litre and 7.4-litre four-cylinder and a pair of big six-cylinder engines were produced. This company managed to avoid bankruptcy and its largest operations remained in Barcelona until 1946, where cars, trucks, buses, aero engines and weapons were produced. Other factories in Spain were at Ripoll, Seville, and Guadalajara.

In 1910 Jean Chassagne competed with a Hispano-Suiza together with works drivers Pilleveridier and Zucarelli in the Coupe des Voiturettes Boulogne and the Catalan Cup Races, gaining second and fourth places respectively. France was soon proving to be a larger market for Hispano-Suiza's luxury cars than Spain. In 1911, an assembly factory called Hispano France began operating in the Paris suburb of Levallois-Perret. Production was moved to larger factories at Bois-Colombes, under the name Hispano-Suiza in 1914 and soon became Hispano-Suiza's main plant for producing the largest, most costly models.

World War I

With the start of World War I, Hispano-Suiza turned to the design and production of aircraft engines under the direction of Marc Birkigt. His chief engineer during this period was another Swiss, Louis Massuger. Traditionally, aircraft engines were manufactured by machining separate steel cylinders and then bolting these assemblies directly to the crankcase. Birkigt's novel solution, the Hispano-Suiza 8, called for the engine block to be formed from a single piece of cast aluminum, and into which thin steel liners were secured. Manufacturing an engine in this way simplified construction and resulted in a lighter, yet stronger more durable engine. Thus, Birkigt's new construction method created the first practical, and what are commonly known today as, "cast block" engines. His aluminum cast block V-8 design was also noteworthy for incorporating overhead camshafts, propeller reduction gearing and other desirable features that would not appear together on competitors' engines until the late 1920s. Another major design feature, for the later HS.8B line was the use of a hollow propeller shaft for both the 8B and 8C gear-reduction versions, which when used for the HS.8C versions specifically engineered to accommodate one, to allow heavy calibre (usually 37 mm) projectiles firing through the hollow propeller shaft, avoiding the need for a synchronization gear, a feature used in future Hispano-Suiza military engines. Hispano-Suiza's aero engines, produced at its own factories and under license, became the most commonly used aero engines in the French and British air forces, powering over half the alliance's fighter aircraft.

1918–1936

After World War I, Hispano-Suiza returned to automobile manufacturing and in 1919 they introduced the Hispano-Suiza H6. The H6 featured an inline 6-cylinder overhead camshaft engine based on the features of its V8 aluminium World War I aircraft engines and had coachwork done by well known coachbuilders like Hibbard & Darrin and D'Ieteren.

Licences for Hispano-Suiza patents were much in demand from prestige car manufacturers world-wide. Rolls-Royce used a number of Hispano-Suiza patents. For instance, for many years Rolls-Royce installed Hispano-Suiza designed power brakes in its vehicles.

In 1923, the French arm of Hispano-Suiza was incorporated as the Société Française Hispano-Suiza, the Spanish parent company retaining control with 71% of the share capital. The French subsidiary was granted a large degree of financial and project independence to bring design and production direction into closer contact with its main markets but overall direction remained at Barcelona. This arrangement increased the importance of the Bois-Colombes plant near Paris as Hispano-Suiza's premier luxury car plant, and while the Spanish operations continued to produce luxury cars, mostly the smaller, less expensive models, production in Spain moved increasingly to the production of buses, trucks, and aircraft engines at several plants located around the country.

Through the 1920s and into the 1930s, Hispano-Suiza built a series of luxury cars with overhead camshaft engines of increasing performance. On the other hand, in the 1930s, Hispano-Suiza's V-12 car engines reverted to pushrod valve actuation to reduce engine noise.

During this time, Hispano-Suiza released the 37.2 Hispano-Suiza car built at the Bois-Colombes works.

The mascot statuette atop the radiator after World War I was the stork, the symbol of the French province of Alsace, taken from the squadron emblem painted on the side of a Hispano-Suiza powered fighter aircraft that had been flown by the World War I French ace Georges Guynemer.

The Hispano-Suiza T49 was also designed and made by the Spanish arm of the company between 1924 and 1944; it was the Spanish production version of the H6B model with a 6-cylinder engine of 8,000 cm3, 160 hp and a maximum speed of 177 km / h.

In 1925, Carlos Ballester obtained permission to represent Hispano-Suiza in Argentina. The agreement consisted of a phase in which the chassis were imported, followed by complete domestic production in Argentina. Thus Hispano Argentina Fábrica de Automóviles (HAFDASA) was born, for the production of Hispano-Suiza motors and automobiles, and also the production of spare parts for other car, truck, and bus manufacturers.

Spanish Civil War and WWII
After the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, the regional government of Catalonia, on behalf of the Second Spanish Republic, collectivized control of Hispano-Suiza's Spanish factories and placed the company on a war footing. The company was divided into three sections:
 aircraft engines and cannons
 cars and trucks
 machine tools
Because of the international isolation of the Spanish republic, the Spanish arm of the company suffered from shortages.

In 1937, the French government took control of the French subsidiary of Hispano-Suiza with a 51 per cent share of the capital for the provision of war materiel, renaming the company La Société d'exploitation des matériels Hispano-Suiza. In 1938, the French company ceased automobile production and concentrated on aircraft engine production. At the time, Hispano-Suiza had just introduced a new series of water-cooled V-12 engines and the Hispano-Suiza 12Y was in great demand for practically every type of French aircraft. However, without the Spanish factories, Hispano-Suiza lacked the capacity to deliver enough engines for the rapidly growing French air force, and many new French fighter aircraft remained grounded for the lack of an engine when World War II began.

A development of the era were a series of 20 mm autocannon, first the Hispano-Suiza HS.9, followed by the Hispano-Suiza HS.404. The 404 was licensed for production in Britain and equipped almost all RAF fighter aircraft during the war. Production was also set up in the US, but these versions never matured even though the USAAC and US Navy both wanted to use it in place of their existing .50 BMG weapons. A lesser-known success was the Hispano-Suiza HS.820, a higher performance 20 mm design that was also used in the US as the M139. A variation of the 20 mm guns used on the Lockheed P-38 Lightning aircraft were produced by International Harvester. In 1970 Hispano-Suiza sold their armaments division to Oerlikon, the HS.820 becoming the KAD.

In 1940, Hispano-Suiza, together with the Spanish bank Banco Urquijo and a group of Spanish industrial companies, founded the 'Sociedad Ibérica de Automóviles de Turismo' (S.I.A.T.). This led to Spain's first mass-production car maker, SEAT. After the civil war, Hispano-Suiza in Spain was severely affected by the war devastated economy and the trade embargoes imposed by the allies. In 1946, Hispano-Suiza sold off its Spanish automotive assets to ENASA, a state owned company belonging to the Instituto Nacional de Industria.

1950s–present

After the Second World War, the French arm of Hispano-Suiza continued primarily as an independent aerospace firm. Between 1945 and 1955, it was building the Rolls-Royce Nene under license, designing landing gear in 1950 and Martin-Baker ejection seats in 1955. The company's attention turned increasingly to turbine manufacturing and, in 1968, it was taken over and became a division of SNECMA. In 1999, Hispano-Suiza moved its turbine operations to a new factory in Bezons, outside Paris, using the original factories for power transmissions and accessory systems for jet engines. In 2005, SNECMA merged with SAGEM to form SAFRAN.

The brand saw an attempt at a revival in the automotive sector with the showing of a model at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show by a firm affiliated with Erwin Leo Himmel. However, the planned production never materialised.

Another attempt at a revival of the Hispano-Suiza automotive brand occurred at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show with the debut of the Hispano-Suiza Carmen, an all-electric sports car. This car was presented by the company Hispano Suiza Cars associated with the Peralada Group owned by the Suqué Mateu family, descendants of one of Hispano-Suiza's original founders, . The car's design was influenced by the 1938 Hispano-Suiza H6B Dubonnet Xenia.

NATS transform Ab-Initio Training
Wednesday, November 23, 2011 12:00 AM
This article appeared in the 'Training and Simulation' Special Bulletin published in September. You can view the full publication in our 'Publications' archive or go to http://www.atc-network.com/training
Authors: George Tosh NORTHSTAR/ Garry Jackson NATS
In this article we find out how the UKs ANSP NATS (En Route) have spent the last four years transforming ab-initio ATCO training. Their starting point was the application of Lean Six Sigma techniques in a unique way to tackle the challenge of training new ATCOs for its business. The rigour and insights gained from applying Lean techniques created the right platform for a robust improvement programme. These put NATS in exactly the right place for a move to a stunning new facility and deliver significant improvement in it's course results.
Back in 2008, NATS, in common with many ANSPs, faced a forecast manpower shortage of en route controllers. The training process at that time was long, expensive and subject to quite a bit of variation as to whether trainees would make it or not. Not unnaturally the business sought to solve the problem of not enough successful trainees by recruiting more thus loading up the process and further compounding the problem.
Garry Jackson, (Director, Training and Simulation) The uncertainty of how many qualified trainees would be delivered to the operational units was a major cause for concern. Growing demand combined with an aging ATCO population meant that we had to find a way to meet our numbers.
Garry was appointed to take over the running of the Training College in 2008 and set about making changes. NATS Business improvement group offered support to run a diagnostic on the training process and provided help in the form of external consultancy firm Northstar, who supported NATS with the deployment of Lean Six Sigma. It was a great opportunity for us to showcase the power of Lean Six Sigma in a business-critical area.commented George Tosh, Director at Northstar. We followed the DMAIC process, Define the problem, collect data to establish Measures, Analyse the data to find root causes, implement Improvements following good project management practices, and create Controls to maintain and continue the improvement process.
The figure below provides a simple view of any given process step:
All very well in a factory, but how does it apply to the people-intensive process of training? George explains,
This manufacturing analogy worked well in the training college, particularly in relation to how we identified and quantified waste, and tying a financial value to that waste meant that we had all the attention and leverage we needed to implement changes. Getting those involved to think in the factory model was initially a challenge, George again, This took a bit of time to bed in, professional trainers found it difficult to accept trainees as product; these are people were talking about here being a typical response. Introducing a different slant to the thinking was crucial to getting everyone to buy in to the changes we were making.
As mentioned earlier the focus on treating causes, as opposed to symptoms, meant that improvements were tangible. Using the data collected we were able to clearly demonstrate the impact of rework (re-coursing failed students) on the overall training capacity, quantifying the cost-of-poor-quality and the bottleneck. Armed with these data we were able to build an overwhelming case for where to make improvements.
The data collection and analysis exercise included input from all areas involved and culminated in a one-day management event to brief the findings. This was a major turning point in the project., said Garry, Everyone involved in training, from the CEO downwards, had a data-rational view of the end-to-end process and complete visibility of the issues and causes. Everyone bought in to the need to drive positive change.
The Analyse phase identified a number of key changes which needed to be implemented, the most critical being courseware changes required to enhance radar skills during Basic training.
The next challenge was creating the space in the training schedule to make the changes. As with any other business keeping the production line going and freeing up resources to make necessary changes is a major trade-off. Garry Jackson We knew we could not meet our output and implement the changes we needed with the instructor resources available. Given the weight of the evidence and the improvement in pass rates we could achieve if we implemented the changes the decision was simple we had to focus on improvement.
A dedicated, collocated project team was created from the instructor community, and a plan of work created to redevelop Basic courseware and simulator exercises, fully adopting the guidelines and taxonomy provided under ESARR5 T14 (later replaced with the Specification for the ATCO Common Core Content Initial Training).
The revised course was created, tested and rolled out for en-route training in a 4 month period. The results were dramatic, first pass yield more than doubled to over 70%. In simple terms this created a third more training capacity, exactly what was required to meet demand.
The team found other issues during the Measure and Analyse phase, and prioritised these to form an improvement plan for the college. The college established its own internal improvement capability by training 25 of its staff in Lean and Six Sigma Techniques.
A programme of Continuous Improvement was established with key projects undertaken including:
Improvement of the Recruitment & Selection Process for trainees.
Advanced Teaching Learning and Assessment Skills training for ATC instructors and support staff (called the ATLAS Programme).
Introduction of Trainee Progress Tracking to support decision making and the identification of supplementary training requirements.
The introduction of Modularised Training course Design enabling trainee output to be tailored to customer requirements.
Alongside the training improvement activities, NATS further demonstrated its commitment to training by investing in a new, purpose-built, training facility at its Corporate and Technical Centre in Whiteley, Hampshire.
The new centre is a 4000 square metre state-of-the art facility that will train air traffic controllers from across the globe. There are 6 simulator rooms with a total of 45 trainee positions which recreate the live air traffic control environment and ensure the best possible learning experience for controllers of the future. The facility also has 6 purpose-built classrooms and access to other training rooms and meeting rooms at the centre. Each room has SMART board technology and flexible furniture so the instructor community can take the advanced teaching techniques given to them through the ATLAS Programme to new levels.
One of the most valuable lessons NATS has learned over the years is to create an environment that enables its people to be actively involved in the improvement process. With this in mind, NATS took the bold step to offer its staff the opportunity to design their new training facility. NATS applied change management best practice and established a User Group made up of staff from the Instructor, Support and Administration departments. The User Group was tasked with defining the training centre requirements and then working closely with a core project team in the design, development and implementation of all aspects of the project including workstation design, building layout and classroom design. A governance process involving all key stakeholders was established to ensure the facility was fit for purpose.
Reflecting on the move of the college, which was successfully delivered in August 2011, Garry Jackson said This is the culmination of a whole series of changes and improvements we have made within Training and Simulation. We now have a completely new working environment one developed by our User Group and the wider college community in association with the project team. We have created something that ensures we can provide world class training to all our internal and external customers for many years to come.
The new location is just 3 miles from the Swanwick Centre. This close proximity has many benefits because it is now so easy for all members of the training community to be in closer contact, and break down the perceived barriers of the end to end process.
The delivery all NATS simulations is now an integral function within the Training and Simulation area. This means that simulations to help shape the future design of UK airspace and beyond, as well as trials of new tools to help controllers deal with future increases in traffic, are fully co-ordinated thus future-proofing NATS training capability for emerging technologies.
Additional phases of improvement activity are underway to further integrate the transition elements of the End To End ATCO Training Process to deliver improvements to NATS Validation rates.
Rob Denman, NATS Business Manager for Training explains: The co-location of the College at the Corporate & Technical Centre with Swanwick Area Control Centre will enable us to join up a programme of improvement across Strategic Manpower Planning, Recruitment & Selection, Initial and Unit Training. This will deliver further opportunities to stream line processes, improve training validation and reduce the cost of training.
Does Lean work in an ATCO training environment? The NATS experience is an overwhelming yes the methodology enabled a logical and data driven change and improvement programme which has allowed informed decisions to be made transforming ab-initio ATCO training at NATS.

Are you feeling unqualified to do what God's calling you to do? That may be a good thing. Dr. Michelle Watson shares why it was a good thing in her life in today's episode.
In June 2009, Dr. Michelle Watson felt prompted by God to give up several activities near and dear to her heart: writing a book, publishing research on eating disorders, speaking, and adjunct teaching. Just about everything she had been pursuing was put on hold.
That December, Dr. Watson read Luke 1:17, where Zachariah is told that his son would turn fathers' hearts to their children. At that moment, the Lord said, "Michelle, that's what I want you to do." But Dr. Watson wasn't a man or a father—was she really the right person for this assignment?
Dr. Watson emailed 11 fathers, inviting them to participate in an experiment: they would meet together monthly to see if they saw healing or growth in their relationships with their daughters. All but one agreed, and they ended up meeting for a year, in awe of the restored relationships they witnessed. The father who declined to participate was so moved by the results he heard about, he joined a second group Dr. Watson started. That was the birth of The Abba Project.
What can we learn from Dr. Watson's journey?
Create margin. It makes room for something better.
Make a list of crazy ideas.
Act at the right time. Wait for God's leading. Don't overthink it.
Avoid comparison. Your venture is not the same as another's.
Take 10 minutes to think about and write down some of the crazy ideas that have been inside you. Consider what God has given you—skills, resources, education, passion, etc. How might these play a role in making those crazy ideas come to life? Is there anything God is asking you to give up, to be able to make room for something better?

My own father could have used this information when I was growing up. I yearned for a better relationship with my father while growing up, especially during my teen years. We couldn't talk, we couldn't touch. We were in different worlds. I am so thankful for Michelle; that there is a voice that speaks to fathers and guides them in their relationships with their daughters. Daughters need their fathers so desperately. As a society we have begun to learn the effects of an absent father. Dr. Watson speaks and teaches about the "absent father" in a girls life, the one who can't seem to reach her, who can't relate to her, the one who is uncomfortable with her, the one who is afraid to touch her. Way to go Michelle Watson! You rock!
Amen to that Tina. Dr. Watson is tilling fertile soil. Thanks for listening and commenting.

Exactly to this day 18 years ago, the 18 Grenadiers and 8 Sikh snatched the crucial feature back from Pakistani intruders, decisively turning the course of the Kargil conflict. Paving the way for the heroic victory was the Indian Air Force, the munitions for whose assault were supplied by Israel, and tweaked with Indian engineering ingenuity.
June 24, 1999. Around 7 am, two Mirage-2000 fighters of the Indian Air Force's 7 Squadron were 18 kilometres short of Tiger Hill, the strategic hilltop then under the occupation of Pakistani infiltrators. The first aircraft brought the crosshairs of the laser designator from the Israeli LITENING pod on to the Pakistani bunkers, which served as the Command and Control centre of the Pakistan Army's Northern Light Infantry battalion, directing artillery fire at the Srinagar-Leh National Highway. When his warjet was seven kilometres short of Tiger Hill, the pilot let go the Paveway laser-guided bomb (LGB).
The video of the first LGB hitting Tiger Hill was released in New Delhi on June 25, 1999, and is still available on YouTube. The two Mirages returned after another bombing mission at a target 80 km to the west, and recorded another video of Tiger Hill. The grainy black and white footage shows a lone Pakistani soldier who had survived the attack, trying to climb to the top of the feature.
The second aircraft was a twin-seater, in whose rear seat was Air Chief Marshal A Y Tipnis. For the IAF, it was a momentous occasion — its first ever operational use of an LGB. It was also an achievement inspired by the famed Indian jugaad, or innovation on the fly, as the conflict on the heights raged, and after the IAF had lost a couple of fighters.
The solution came from the Israelis. The IAF had signed a contract for Israeli-made LITENING electro-optical targeting pods in 1997, but it would take three or four years before these could be made operational. The pods, fitted on aircraft, have a laser designator and a powerful camera, which provides a 10-times magnified view of the target. The Israelis went out of their way to help the IAF integrate the LITENING pods to the Mirages — Israeli technicians flew in urgently and worked with the IAF's Aircraft System Testing Establishment in Bengaluru. As in the 1971 War, Israel delivered when India needed it the most.
Paveway-II LGBs were to be used with the LITENING pods' guidance. India had started getting some Paveway kits in 1998, but supplies stopped with the sanctions imposed after the 1998 nuclear tests. The Paveway's tail-kits were made in the US, the front-kits in the UK. As the IAF's traditional 1,000-pound dumb bomb had a shape and design similar to those used by the British, it was decided to fit the 1,000-pounder into the Paveway kit. Problems with fitting the front adaptor into the bomb was overcome with jugaad, while taking care to maintain the safety of the fuse wire setting.
By June 12, 1999, these Mirage 2000s were ready to fire LGBs in operations for the first time. In routine course, these aircraft would have never flown in war because they were not certified. The Paveway kits still had defects that made the LGBs unreliable. The software of the LITENING pod had bugs: it shut down at an altitude of 30,000 feet, and its stability was not of a desirable standard.
But these were unusual times, and the IAF chose to fly into the unknown. The mission for Tiger Hill was repeated on June 25. A total of nine LGBs — eight from Mirage 2000s and one from a Jaguar — were fired until July 4, with five of them targeting Tiger Hill. They formed only a minuscule part of the 979 bombs — 348 tonnes of ordnance — that the IAF dropped on Kargil on 24 target systems, but they were a significant first.

Q: How to inject ngrx store into a library I'm creating a drag and drop angular module that I hope to externalize and publish to npm. The library will essentially allow the user to define drag and drop areas and associate ngrx actions with them.
const DND_RULES: DndRule[] = [
   new DndRule('area1', 'area2', MOVE_AREA1_TO_AREA2_ACTION.getAction),
   new DndRule('area2', 'area1', COPY_AREA2_TO_AREA2_ACTION.getAction),
]

A provided service will then dispatch the action that results from the rule.
My issue is that I need to integrate this library with the consumer's store. Is there a way to provide the ngrx store via some static module method or link it to my store behind the scenes in some way? DndModule.provideStore(???) I'm not sure what this would look like behind the scenes

A: You can look at how the router store is implemented, https://github.com/ngrx/router-store.
The person trying to use your store will have to do some configuration and import the necessary actions, that they want to use.

import { go, replace, search, show, back, forward } from '@ngrx/router-store';

John Summers' wife, screaming that familiar refrain, woke him from an exhilarating dream about flying.
"Kill it! Kill it!" Charlene screamed.
John leapt from the bed, his dream quickly fading, and ran to find Charlene huddled in the corner of their bathroom. Her blonde hair spilled haphazardly over the shoulders of her pink robe. She pointed down to a mammoth bumblebee— black and yellow, fat and furry— wobbling on the white tiles.
He grabbed a glass by the sink and placed it over the bee. It began buzzing against the interior of the glass in a frantic dance. John slipped one of Charlene's purse catalogues under the glass, safely trapping the bee for transport.
"I said kill it, not save it!" She bravely stepped from her corner opposite the toilet.
"No need to kill it," John said.
After 13 years in their childless marriage, John had become used to the fact that nearly everything was all his fault. Charlene used the phrase so often that to John, it had almost, but not quite, lost its sting.
Later that day, John hauled a ladder to the closet of their guest bedroom. Armed with a flashlight and a can of bug spray, he climbed the ladder and pushed up the plywood covering in the ceiling. He squeezed through the small square opening into the empty attic's sweltering heat.
John raised the flashlight toward where he thought the bumblebee nest was located in the west corner of the rafters. But the beam never made it that far. The nest may have begun in that corner, but it was now monstrous— the size of a small SUV— and took up nearly half the attic.
John regarded his can of bug spray as if he were trying to demolish the Great Wall of China with a firecracker. Then without warning, a line of bumblebees exploded from the nest and swarmed over him. Before he could react or even register any sort of fear, they covered his face and body, blanketing all but his nostrils.
We live in harmony. Can you live in harmony with us?
John nodded his head. Yes, he could live in harmony with the bees. He trusted them. He and Charlene never even used the attic anyway.
Then as quickly as the bees had covered him, they flew away, filing back into their immense paper nest. Dazed, like waking from a dream, John climbed back down through the entryway.
"You got rid of them already?" Charlene asked. Then she hit John in the back of his head. "Don't move!" she shouted. She had swiped at a bumblebee that hadn't made its way out of his hair.
The bee plopped to the ground and Charlene stomped on it. She lifted her shoe to reveal squished black and yellow goo.
The house suddenly began to shake.
They both ran down the stairs and hurried out the front door. Except their two-story colonial was the only house on the block shaking.
The house made a slow groan, then a terrific cracking explosion, followed by a low-buzzing hum. The west corner of the roof separated from the rest of the house and hovered for a moment. Pieces of wood and siding fell to the ground. Then that large section of roof soared into the sky and floated away like a kite whose string had just snapped. The roof grew smaller and smaller, and the hum of the buzzing bees faded.
John looked at Charlene, her face frozen in shock. He looked down to her shoe, which moments before had killed the bumblebee.

For over four decades, Iz Maglow has been developing his art by varying the expressive possibilities of his painting and experimenting with his paintings and objects, which are characterized by color, expressive style and partly dominant structures. He transferred the imagery developed in the paintings to his work in the fields of stage design, graphic design and web design.
Explanatory introductions to the individual topics can be found on the start pages of the categories Fine Art Painting, Sculptures and Art Objects, Stage Designs und digital Artwork. The latter are dedicated to the websites that Iz Maglow has designed for others and to themselves, as well as to the artist's own portraits, which show the painter in simple, digital portraits, in memorable places, at private or artistic events, and some of his friendly memories. All is artistically alienated and each dedicated to one of his years of life.
As early as 1983, the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung calls the artist "... a versatile personality ..." "... and a very productive one ..." "... in which one can hope for lasting spontaneity ... "
"... Iz Maglow is someone who likes to travel..." writes the Schwäbische Post in 1986 and continues: "... In recent years, during his studies at the Stuttgart State Academy of Fine Arts, he traveled the world and got to know different big cities and their people. ..."
And in 1987, the Frankfurter Rundschau describes "... Iz Maglow as a person who openly says what he thinks, and does not make the impression of disagreeing with himself, a serene nature, it is said, and with a seemingly original inclination to a happy order. ..."
Thank you for your interest in the art of Iz Maglow.

Our families may know Rebecca from her time as a Staff Nurse on Clark Clinic ward, but six months ago she started a new role as Clinical Nurse Specialist working alongside Catherine Faulkner.
Congratulations on your new role as Clinical Nurse Specialist! Can you tell us what your new post involves?
Being fairly new to the post I have found that my job is fairly unpredictable. There really are no two days the same. Catherine and I deal with a wide range of areas, from telephone queries to ward review clinics.
I think the most important part of my job is being a point of contact for parents who are living at home with a child who has a congenital heart condition. We also provide support, whether that is at the point of diagnosis or further down their journey.
Given that you've chosen to stay in the area of paediatric cardiology, what makes working with heart children in particular so important to you?
There are so many things I love about working in Paediatric Cardiology. From my time as a staff nurse in Clark Clinic I really enjoyed caring for the patients at their sickest and seeing them gradually progress until they were well enough to go home. In my current post it is so rewarding to see these patients coming up to clinic appointments and also coming to transition appointments.
I think especially in the area of paediatric cardiology there is such a sense of being part of a community with our heart families and over the last 8 years I have been privileged to walk with them on their journey.
I wouldn't refuse either, but I'm really more of a jelly tots kinda girl!
Outside of life on Clark Clinic, how do you spend your spare time?
Quite often in my spare time I get roped into babysitting my little niece and nephew which usually involves a lot of hide and seek. I enjoy baking- mainly apple cakes (tarts) and I've recently learnt to make soda bread. I also relax by listening to music and playing the piano.


This thursday, June 7th, I will be setting up at Wunderkammer for the Creative Womens Night from 6pm to 9 pm. The address is 3402 Fairfield Avenue, Fort Wayne, IN. I will have with me Fine Art Prints, Reproduction Note Cards, and smaller originals.
This 6 X 6 original will be with me titled "Love Your Neighbor".
This brand new 9 X 12 original will also be along, titled "Don't Be So Serious".
I will also bring along the poppy titled "Live Out Loud" and the one below "Orange Bouquet". Check out the Facebook page for more information. It is always a fun night with lots of interesting artists. If you have anything that you would like me to bring just let me know.
On my home page you will find my show schedule and I have included the dates where I will be setting up at the Wunderkammer Arts Center. I was at the first one in April and even though it was a rainy/flurry night there were quite a few patrons that came through. This market celebrate creative women and there were artists, jewelry makers, seamstress, bakers, gardeners and soapmakers on my end. There are two rooms. Along with this there was a running photographer exihibit on the walls. I had access to the door going out to the courtyard and it was really interesting. Once the warm weather shows up it will be quite pretty because there are many areas that have garden growth. Mountains were painted on the brick building that is the south side.
The fence that is the east side and next to the road has items attached to it for privacy I am sure. The pathway is painted also.
I was not sure what all to bring since I normally set up in a tent. So I brought my three easels and three large canvases, prints, painted rocks, notecards and small canvases that can sit up on their own. It was fun and I met new people. My next one I will be at is in June.
This building used to be an italian restaurant that was very popular. All the flooring had been taken up and there was just a cement floor. I was trying to think if I had ever eaten in the room I was showing in. This picture shows the east wall that has been painted very colorfully. It was a fun night, only three hours and a different venue than where I normally am at. I look forward to returning in June.

New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Managing Committee now represented by New Mangalore Port Trust Vs. The Regional Director, ESI Corporation, Bangalore, Karnataka
[Civil Appeal No. 9931 of 2014 arising out of SLP (Civil) No.11990/2008]
R. BANUMATHI, J.
2. Whether or not New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Managing Committee is an integral part of New Mangalore Port Trust (NMPT) and whether State Government is the "appropriate government" to extend the applicability of provisions of Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 (ESI Act) to the New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Managing Committee are the points falling for consideration in this appeal.
3. Brief facts leading to the filing of this appeal are as follows:- Section 1(5) of the ESI Act enables the appropriate government to issue notification in respect of any other establishment or class of establishments, industrial, commercial, agricultural or otherwise. In exercise of its power under Section 1(5) of the ESI Act, a notification dated 22.1.1986 was issued by the Government of Karnataka to extend the provisions of the ESI Act to certain areas, in and around the city of Mangalore.
The said notification specified that the provisions of the Act inter-alia would apply to certain shops and establishments. Appellant-New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Managing Committee, Panambur (for short "Workers Managing Committee") was established on 1.3.1983. The object of the said Committee was to deploy listed workers for loading and unloading of the import/export of cargo in the Mangalore Port Premises. In accordance with the above notification, ESI Corporation by its letter dated 5.5.1987, directed the appellant to submit Form No.1 saying that the provisions of the ESI Act stood attracted against the appellant.
The Committee raised objections, claiming that the appellant is engaged in the loading and unloading operations in the premises of NMPT and that the appellants and their workmen were neither a "shop" nor an "establishment" so as to attract the provisions of the ESI Act. Rejecting the said objections, ESI Corporation issued Show Cause Notice dated 14.8.1987 to the Workers Managing Committee calling upon them to make the contribution.
The Appellant approached the ESI Court under Section 75(g) of the ESI Act claiming that the provisions of the ESI Act were not applicable to them as they were governed by the provisions of Major Port Trust Act, 1963 and that the Central Government is the appropriate government with respect to the appellant-Committee. The petition filed by the appellant was dismissed by the ESI Court by the order dated 16.4.1993. Aggrieved by the said order, the appellant filed appeal before the High Court of Karnataka in and by which, the High Court remanded the matter back to the ESI Court, with a direction to frame preliminary issue regarding the applicability of State Government's notification to the Committee.
4. ESI Court by order dated 31.12.2001, held that the notification of the State Government was not applicable to the Committee as the "appropriate government" to extend the provisions of the ESI Act to the said Committee is the Central Government. Aggrieved by the said order, respondent-Corporation preferred appeal before the High Court of Karnataka. The High Court set aside the findings of the ESI Court and held that the Managing Committee is covered within the purview of the notification issued by the State Government. Aggrieved by the said order, the appellant has filed this appeal by way of special leave.
5. Taking us through the evidence of AWs 1 and 2, learned counsel for the appellant contended that the workmen of the Committee were required to function under the supervision and control of the NMPT and since the NMPT was a Major Port governed by the Major Port Trust Act 1963, the "appropriate government" is the Central Government and the notification extending the provisions of ESI Act were not applicable to the appellant.
It was submitted that since the Central Government had not issued any notification with regard to the premises of NMPT, the action of the State Government was uncalled for. It was also argued by the appellant that the social security measures and other benefits as provided to the workers of the Managing Committee at par with NMPT employees, were better than the ones envisaged under ESI Act and therefore, the demand of ESI Corporation is not sustainable and the High Court erred in saying that the appellant is covered under the notification.
6. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents contended that at the time of issuance of the notification in 1986, Workers Managing Committee was an independent entity merely rendering services of loading and unloading to the NMPT and the said Committee was not an integral part of NMPT and the State Government had legitimately exercised its jurisdiction in extending the provisions of the ESI Act to the Workers Managing Committee. It was further contended that only in the year 1990 workmen were absorbed by NMPT and prior to that, appellant was not a part of NMPT governed by Major Port Trust. It was urged that ESI Act is a welfare legislation whose object is to extend the welfare coverage to a vast segment of the employees and the notification has to be meaningfully interpreted in the light of the objects of the welfare legislation.
7. We have considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the appearing parties and perused the materials on record.
8. In terms of Indian Ports Act 1908, "Major Port" means any port which the Central Government may by notification in the official gazette declare, or may under any law for the time being in force, have declared to be a Major Port. By notification dated 4.5.1974, New Mangalore Port was declared as a Major Port. By notification dated 27.3.1980, the provisions of Major Port Trusts Act 1963 were made applicable to the Major Port of New Mangalore from 1.4.1980 and New Mangalore Port is thus a Major Port.
9. NMPL Workers Managing Committee was formed in the year 1983 and it continued till 15.3.1990 on which date the workers of the Managing Committee were absorbed by NMPT and they became NMPT Registered Cargo Handling Wing. This NMPT Cargo Handling Wing is attached to the Traffic Wing of NMPT. After the workmen of the Committee were so absorbed as workers of NMPT Cargo Handling Wing, the appellant- Managing Committee is no longer in existence and New Mangalore Port Trust is now said to be pursuing this matter.
10. It is seen from the affidavit sworn in by the Secretary of NMPT before this Court that in terms of Government of India notification dated 20.7.2009, the provisions of the ESI Act were made applicable to all port trusts including the New Mangalore Port Trust, so that the casual and contract employees working in the NMPT have been brought under the said Act. The employees of the New Mangalore Port Trust inclusive of its Auto Garage, Workshop, Registered Cargo Handling Workers Wing have been exempted from the applicability of the provisions of the ESI Act vide Notification dated 3.9.2010 of the Government of India. It is stated that NMPT had filed an application for extending the exemption for a further period from 30.9.2010.
11. The point to be considered is between 1983 till 15.3.1990 whether the rendering of services of loading and unloading by appellant- Management Committee to NMPT was an integral part of NMPT and whether the State Government is the "appropriate government" to issue the notification.
12. Mr. S.N. Bhat, learned counsel appearing for the appellant submitted that prior to 15.3.1990 workers were employed as registered Stevedores for carrying on loading and unloading work and they were considered in a single pool on a single roll and they were allowed to enter the dock only on the passes issued by the CISF at port. Learned counsel further submitted that AW1-Secretary of New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Committee and AW2 had clearly spoken that even prior to 15.3.1990, the workers were under the administrative control of NMPT and about the various medical facilities extended to the workers of the Committee and also the insurance policies (LIC) and other benefits made available to the workers by NMPT and that they were provided with various medical facilities and other benefits and the evidence of AWs 1 and 2 was not at all considered by the High Court.
13. By a perusal of the judgment of the High Court, it appears that the High Court has not examined the testimony of AW-1, Secretary of New Mangalore Port Listed Workers Committee and AW-2, Deputy Secretary of NMPT and their evidence that prior to 15.3.1990 the workers were under the administrative control of the NMPT.
The questions viz.:
(i) whether the workers of the Managing Committee were registered as Stevedores engaged in loading and unloading work of NMPT and whether they were under the administrative control of NMPT;
(ii) whether the services rendered by the workers of the Managing Committee was an integral part of NMPT and if that be so, whether the "appropriate government" is the Central Government and
(iii) whether the workers of the Managing Committee were extended medical facilities and other benefits on par with other employees of the NMPT and other relevant questions remain unanswered.
In our view, the High Court has not considered the above questions in the light of the evidence of AWs 1 and 2. That apart, High Court did not have the benefit of considering the notification issued by the Government of India dated 20.7.2009, extending the provisions of the ESI Act to NMPT and the exemption granted by the Government of India by its notification dated 3.9.2010. Instead of this Court itself examining the above questions, in our view, the matter be remitted back to the High Court to examine the same.
14. In the result, the appeal is allowed and the impugned judgment dated 5.10.2007 passed by the High Court in Miscellaneous First Appeal No.1379/2002 (ESI) is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the High Court for consideration of the matter afresh in the light of the above discussion and in accordance with law. The High Court shall afford sufficient opportunity to both parties to file additional affidavits/counter affidavits and additional documents if any, and proceed with the matter in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible.

Q: Adding ng-model to directive I have the following directive to reverse geocode a lat & long into a place:
/* global app*/

app.directive('reverseGeocode', function () {
        return {
            restrict: 'A',
            template: '

',
            link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
                var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
                var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(attrs.lat, attrs.lng);
                geocoder.geocode({ 'latLng': latlng }, function (results, status) {
                    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
                        if (results[1]) {
                            element.text(results[1].formatted_address);
                        } else {
                            element.text('Location not found');
                        }
                    } else {
                        element.text('');
                    }
                });
            },
            require: "ngModel",
            replace: true
        }
    });

But for some reason, it doesn't seem to retrieve the ng-model and display it:

            Picture taken in:
            <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-if="!capture.geo" id="place" ng-model="place.formatted_address" ng-autocomplete options="options" required details="place" ng-click="checkPlace(place)"
            uib-tooltip="Please pick the location where you captures your photo!"
            tooltip-placement="top-right"
            tooltip-trigger="mouseenter"
            tooltip-enable="!details.formatted_address"
            tooltip-class="tooltip">

            // DIRECTIVE USED HERE
            <reverse-geocode class="form-control" ng-if="capture.geo" lat="{{capture.latitude}}" lng="{{capture.longitude}}">

               Please fill in a valid location!

What my goal is, is to display the location below using:

Place: {{autoLocation}}

A: First you need to drop restrict or at least use E (element) instead of A (attribute), since you are using the directive as element.
Second, you don't need to add or pass ng-model, which is a directive itself, to your directive. You can access the controller scope variable capture directly. If you prefer directive to have it's own, isolated scope, then you should two-way bind the controller variable to directive's scope using = (or @ if you prefer passing literal strings).
If I understood correctly, below is what you are after (simplified but functionality is there).
HTML

  lat <input type="number" ng-model="capture.lat">
  lng <input type="number" ng-model="capture.lng">
  <reverse-geocode capture="capture"></reverse-geocode>

JavaScript
angular.module('app', [])
.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.capture = {
    lat: 10.0,
    lng: 20.0
  };
})
.directive('reverseGeocode', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    scope: {
      capture: '='
    },
    template: '

',
    link: function(scope) {
      scope.$watch('capture', function() {
        if (scope.capture.lat && scope.capture.lng) {
          scope.autoLocation = 'reverse geocode address for [' +
            scope.capture.lat + ' ' + scope.capture.lng + '] here';
        } else {
          scope.autoLocation = 'invalid coordinates';
        }
      }, true);
    },
  };
});

A: It won't work in that way. ng-model only works for input type element where a user can pass some input.
You need to use two-way data communication so that you can modify a scope variable from directive to it's associated scope's variable.


In case T-691/14, the General Court of the European Union (the "GC") has reduced Servier's fine for abuse of dominance position through a pay-for-delay practice by €102.67 million. According to the GC, the European Commission (the "Commission") incorrectly defined the relevant market and it erroneously limited the market to perindopril, while it should have included comparable medications. In addition, Servier's settlement agreement with Krka did not foreclose its rival from operating in the market. By contrast, the agreements Servier made with the other five drugmakers constituted by-object restrictions of competition.
More precisely, the case concerns Servier's patent on perindopril which is primarily used to treat hypertension and heart failure. This patent expired in several EU member states during the early 2000s and Servier obtained several additional secondary patents on its manufacturing process, which were challenged by rival drugmakers. To resolve challenges, Servier entered into settlements with rival drugmakers who agreed neither to enter the EU perindopril market nor to challenge Servier's new patents on the perindopril manufacturing process (so- called pay for delay). With respect to the drugmaker Krka, Servier had granted a licence to market generic perindopril in certain regions of Europe.
In 2014, the Commission found that Servier was dominant in the perindopril-molecule market, and that the settlements violated EU law because they prevented potential competitors entering that market. In relation to Krka, the payment allegedly induced Krka from refraining to market perindopril in Servier's desired areas. As a result, it fined Servier almost €331 million, and six rival drugmakers a combined €97 million fine.
On appeal, the GC has reduced Servier's fine from €330.99 million to €228.32 million on the basis that the Commission had not proven that Servier was dominant in the perindopril-molecule market and that the fine concerning the Matrix settlement should be reduced by a third because the Commission had already fined Servier for the same conduct in the settlements with Niche and Unichem. The GC has also annulled the €10 million fine imposed on the rival drugmaker Krka because there was no evidence that Servier induced Krka to withdraw from or not to enter the perindopril market because of the settlement agreement.
The GC rejected Servier's argument not to qualify settlement agreements as by object restrictions of competition. However, it noted that such by-object infringements can still be justified under Article 101(3) TFEU, but Servier's agreements did not comply with the conditions provided therein.

Last weekend I competed at the highly anticipated Boa Super 8 event in Melbourne, Australia. It was the first event of it's kind Down Under and in my opinion, the night went even better than I expected.
I was given a task of fighting Kate Wilson, who is a very decorated competitor and a brown belt. We had a 6 minute match at brown/black rules, which was something new to me. Training for last last 10 weeks has focused on not only improving all parts of my jiu jitsu, but also adding toe holds and knee bars into my game. Even though neither Kate or I went for them during the actual fight, I learnt so much just from the preparation.
I have set some themes for myself for the night, which helped me prepare mentally. They included 'exploring my limits', 'strategy' and 'focus on me'. Whilst I always prepare for my opponents and I was super aware of Kate's game, this time I knew what I wanted to do and where my strengths lay.
On the night, I was super worried about being too nervous – it was the first time I would fight on an elevated platform, with all eyes just on my fight, cameras and live streaming, whilst also being conscious of putting on a good show for the audience.
However, as soon as I heard my walk out song and it was time to go, my nerves were replaced by excitement and happiness. I was so pumped and completely in my element. It was a pleasure to fight with such a good mind set.
Kate scored 2 points early on for a takedown as I pulled guard. From then on I played x-guard but failed to capitalise on the sweep when I stoop up with the leg, I attempted a triangle, an omaplata, nearly passed, nearly took the back, and then nearly passed again and nearly took the back one more time before the timer went. I received 4 advantages for my efforts, and ended up losing the fight.
Of course, it is never, ever fun to lose, but this time I am not extremely disappointed. I am happy that I felt very comfortable from top, bottom and every position I was put in. I know exactly what I need to fix and improve on and have gained a lot of confidence from the night, knowing that I can trust both my guard and my passing. I actually achieved a lot of my small goals I set for myself, which I was happy about. As I said, I always play to win, but sometimes blessings come in disguise.
I hope we showed a high level of technical BJJ as a representation of women of Australia and put on an entertaining match for everyone. Thank you to Kate for fighting me, I feel privileged to have an Aussie of such high calibre and class to compete with and go through this amazing experience together.
The support I received from my team mates, my coaches, and Melbourne BJJ community both after, but more importantly, before the show and during my prep was unbelievable.
All matches at BOA Super 8 were entertaining and showed some great jits. Even though Lachie performed very well he didn't win the belt, but sharing the experience and the moment with him was unforgettable.
I hope there will be many more to come! Thank you to Sy and Thiago for such a successful event and for looking after your athletes so well.

RICHARD GOMEZ: KILL ALL CROOK POLICE... MUST READ!!!
The Actor and now Ormoc City Mayor Richard Gomez had posted in his facebook account with regards the issue of Anti-drug campaign by the government. He strongly criticized the crook police that had been assigned in nearby towns in Province of Leyte.
"In our fight against illegal drugs, what do we do when the police themselves are the ones making up stories and implicating the people not involved in the trade to muddle the whole situation?
Still, we cannot deny the fact that there some abusive police officers who are using their authorities over the civilians. There are so many reports coming from different parts of the Philippines that most of the killing incidents, the involved are the police officers. Some police had been identified by the witness, then some were caught by the same uniform.
It is sad until now, the government has no direct action on some cases, some are just been relieved from their post and transfer to the other offices and headquarters. Some victims are waiting for a long time for the case to be heard. We hope that the Dutertes government will have an immediate response to all abusive police.

Welcome the Winter Season with these Barrie House Brews!
Goodbye fall, hello winter! Now that we've experienced our first day of snow and we're just over a month away from Christmas, we thought we'd show you some of our latest seasonal brews! We've picked three coffees, which you'll find down below, from our friends over at Barrie House that need to be tried before the season ends!
If you're dreaming of a White Christmas, you're in luck thanks to this brew from Barrie House! Their White Christmas coffee contains all of the staples of the season plus some new editions: coconuts and macadamia nuts mixed with the most delicious caramel flavours. Top it off with some bourbon and vanilla and you've got a brew that tastes like Christmas in a cup!
Do you like chocolate in your marshmallow? What about marshmallow in your chocolate? Regardless, we're confident that you'll love this Chocolate Marshmallow coffee from Barrie House! When you sip on this brew, you'll enjoy the campfire-esque flavours of melty chocolate, crispy graham crackers, and a hint of cinnamon for the ultimate experience.
Don't worry if you're a decaf lover; we didn't forget about you! You might have seen many Pumpkin Spice brews on the market, but they can't hold a candle to Barrie House's Decaf Pumpkin Spice Pie. Not only do you get a creamy, medium roast thanks to the pumpkins, but you also get a combination of cinnamon, sweet vanilla, and nutmeg that'll have you wishing the season went on forever.

This is a series of questions posed to David LaMarche, Conductor of American Ballet Theatre, which is having its Spring Season at the Metropolitan Opera House, May 11, 2015 to July 4, 2015. David LaMarche has been favorably reviewed in his capacity as ABT Conductor in these pages on multiple occasions in recent years. I recently chatted with Maestro LaMarche at El Azteca, at 783 Ninth Avenue at 52nd Street, NYC, over Homemade Chicken Soup, Fresh Guacamole and Chips, Maria's Arroz con Pollo, Sizzling Shrimp Fajitas, David's Imported Beer, and Roberta's Piña Colada.
David LaMarche has already begun conducting the performances at the Met Opera House, including works in the Spring Gala, and, as I write, he is conducting Paloma Herrera's farewell ballet, Giselle. (Tonight I will attend Xiomara Reyes' farewell ballet, also Giselle. On June 20, 2015, Julie Kent will have her farewell, in Romeo and Juliet.) We recently met for dinner and spoke about the current and upcoming scores for productions that David is conducting. Not listed below are the very few ballets he is not conducting. The full American Ballet Theatre performance schedule is here. The ballets below, on whose scores Maestro LaMarche comments, are ordered chronologically for this Spring Season.
Click here to learn more about the ballets below. This Season's The Sleeping Beauty is a new production, and its reviews will be added to this link with the Season reviews in the coming weeks.
1. Your favorite musical passage/s; 2. How you may adapt to the specific ballerina and/or danseur for each (like Paloma for "Giselle" farewell); 3. How you have adapted your conducting style over the years for that ballet and score; 4. A specific musical solo (which instrument) or high point my readers should listen for and when it would appear.
Fancy Free: The opening dance is brilliant, rhythmically, and in the way that it quotes popular music of the era. And I love the last piano solo for the entrance of the third girl, a real blues that sounds improvised, but every note is composed by Bernstein. The music dictates the dance completely. This is Robbins after all! There are some sections of this score which are tricky rhythmically, so I have to be very clear in my conducting. Listen for the honky-tonk piano solos and big band style woodwinds. To answer another question, the recorded song heard, as the curtain comes up, is "Big Stuff, which has been recorded by Billie Holiday.
Jardin Aux Lilas: This music, called Poème, by Ernest Chausson, is a virtuoso turn for the solo violinist, in this case, our brilliant concertmaster, Benjamin Bowman. He has a cadenza at the beginning of the ballet, as Caroline dances her first solo, which is shaped completely in conjunction with the choreography. This is a concerto, so I have to be aware of the soloist at all times, and also give slightly more expansive tempi for the dancers in certain places.
The Spring Gala: The challenge for the conductor in any Gala is twofold. First, to switch musical styles and dynamic at the drop of a hat, and secondly, to build tension and relevance in a 5 minute excerpt. But there is a chaotic, thrilling aspect to it also. I actually enjoy them.
Giselle: I think the Act II Pas de Deux, a solo for viola, is the best music in the ballet. It has a placid, spiritual quality, a suspension of time which allows Giselle and Albrecht to bond before their final separation. Giselle is all about adaptation to the ballerina, and her interpretation. I've done it a million very different ways. The aforementioned viola solo is a big feature, as is the cello solo which accompanies Albrecht's entrance into the woods in Act II.
The Sleeping Beauty: Actually, my favorite music in this ballet is in Act II, in both the Vision Scene and in the Awakening. In Alexei Ratmansky's version, there is very little tampering with the tempi, and because of this, it has great flow and momentum. It's a massive score, and requires great stamina for a conductor. There's an elegant violin solo for Aurora's Act I variation, a long, elegiac melody for solo cello in the Vision Scene, and the classic oboe solo in the Adagio of the Act III pas de deux.
La Bayadère: There's a section in Act III, which they call the Pas de Quatre. It involves all the principals; it's very string heavy, big full sound, and the main theme resembles the Grieg "Piano Concerto". The dance which requires the most specific tailoring to an individual dancer is the scarf dance for Nikiya in Act II, fiendishly difficult and exposed. I would say there are probably more nuances in tempo change in this ballet than almost any other, and it's all dancer driven. From the orchestra, there are two very beautiful violin solos in Act II, and a quintessential Russian, melancholic solo for cello in Act III.
Romeo and Juliet: Again, I think Prokofiev has composed a sublime ending for the ballet. I am still moved every time I hear it. The dance tempi are very close to concert tempi, except for the mandolin dance in the ballroom, a solo for the male which is drastically slowed down to accommodate the choreography. This score has weight and power, and the brass section is featured heavily throughout, but especially in The Dance of the Knights and in Tybalt's Death, which ends Act II.
Swan Lake: Act IV of Swan Lake (in our version, the end of Act II) contains the most symphonic, dramatic music in the whole piece. It drives the action inevitably to the final climactic scene. In the first three acts of Swan Lake, there are many dance solos for Odette/Odile, Siegfried, and the Pas de Trois which require shaping from the conductor to support the dancers. Again, the triumvirate of violin, cello, and oboe feature most prominently in solo passages, and the harp is used extensively, especially in Act II.
Cinderella: My favorite musical passage is the very last one, where the love theme returns for a final time after the prince finds Cinderella. It's cinematic, but not overblown, just very moving. Cinderella's solo at the ball is hard to get right musically. You have to do some very fine tuning of tempi. Throughout this ballet, there is very challenging writing for the strings, often very high and chromatic. In Ashton's version, he puts the two violin soloists for the dancing lesson on stage, in period costume, so they have to memorize the music.

Serene, vast and immersive, Agneta Ekholm's sensitively layered paintings evoke a myriad of emotional and cognitive responses. Her organic compositions suggest movement, the play of light, glass-like formations or the flow of water. The fluid ebb and flow of her paint intuitively renders graceful forms via a technique Ekholm has mastered over the years of her practice.
Ekholm says of her practice, "Working with fast-drying acrylic and water, I use a sponge to apply layer upon layer of shapes and gestures with solid pigment and transparent washes, while continually washing and rubbing sections away until the final complex image is built. I may work for days on a small isolated section of the painting. It is an obsessive and fastidious process and the work travels a complex journey of twists and turns before I have found the 'solution' which is that painting's final incarnation."
Finnish-born, Victorian-based artist Agneta Ekholm has been a finalist in the Muswellbrook Art Prize(2020), Ravenswood Art Prize (2020, 2018), the Wilson Visual Art Award (2013), the Fleurieu Art Prize (2013), the Mount Eyre Art Prize (2012), the Fisher's Ghost Art Award (2012) and the Redland Art Award (2012) as well as being a six time finalist in the Calleen Art Award (2010-2016). In 2017 Agneta won the Best Artist Award at Denfair. She has completed major commissions for the Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection, Netherlands, Novotel, Melbourne, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Guangzhou, China, the Marriott Hotel, Beijing, and The Parisian Sands, Macau, China. Her works are held in major public and private collections nationally and internationally, including Ritz Carlton Yacht Collection, Artbank, the Embassy of Finland (Australia), Sony Music Corporation, Google (USA), JW Marriott Hotel, Miami, Florida, Marriott Dallas Market Center, USA and Rydges Hotel Group.
