Spotlight on the Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem
In favourite-places, what-legends-are-made-of, reviews, beer, featured
Nestled in the rock beneath Nottingham Castle, the legendary Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem pub has been serving up ale since the 12th century. Made up of an impressive number of curiously named rooms and cosy nooks, today the pub is a well-loved haunt for locals and tourists alike, and a must visit for anyone spending a few days in the city.
After a brief closure, the pub reopened its doors at the end of March to show off the recent refurbishment. But what exactly can you do to a pub where most of the walls are literally carved out of rock? We went over for a nosey and to chat with landlord Karl, who has been guardian of the pub since 2012, to see what is new...
Part cave, part ramshackle building, and part historical treasure horde, there is an authentic charm to the building, and it was imperative that this was maintained during the refurb. During our visit the pub was bustling with late afternoon drinkers. Accents varying from American to thick, traditional Notts floating across the bar, and a warm atmosphere throughout.
At first glance we were pleased to see the building looked very much the same as it has in decades gone by, with a lick of paint and polish here and there. But then to the discerning eye, well thought out details and decor soon began to pop out, each carefully considered by Karl and the team.
"People were a bit worried when we said we were doing a refurb." Karl tells us, "This is something so important to people - it's Nottingham's pub, you know? We welcome everyone through the door, with lots of tourists of course, but we have people who have drank here for thirty, forty years and they're really happy with what we've done too."
The impressive array of historical items and antiques dotted around the building make for a fascinating mini-tour through Nottingham's rich history. A genuine suit of armour greets you by the main bar. Old maps, local signage and photographs adorn the walls. A portrait of the mutinous Queen Isabella sits in The Rock Lounge upstairs, near the ever-present Cursed Galleon ship, which has thankfully not been touched during the works (lest the cleaner be cursed – if you believe the stories!)
"A main part of the work has been to restore the history, so visitors have a better understanding of each room and its identity. We've put the story back on the wall. Looking around you can find out more from 20 minutes in The Trip than in many other places in the city." Says Karl, "And you might as well do it with a pint in your hand."
Another secret to this fascinating drinking hole is rather hidden, but the team are accommodating to anyone interested in learning more. The extensive caves, once used as the Castle's own brewery, are part of a labyrinth of over 800 subterranean tunnels which snake under Nottingham's streets. Due to their cool and constant temperature, Nottingham caves have been famed for centuries for their excellent conditions to brew and store ale, and The Trip has thoroughly preserved this history.
Ask at the bar or drop them a call and you can book onto an informal 20 minute cellar tour, taking you deep into the caves under the sandstone cliff to where the pub's ale is stashed. Karl in particular has become a fountain of knowledge when it comes to local history – and the intricacies of ale - but each member of staff finds different areas of The Trip's story that they are particularly passionate about.
Back above ground the atmosphere is snug and friendly, with a fire roaring in Yorkie's Lounge and happy punters deep in conversation in each cosy corner. During the summer you don't have to forgo the sunshine to get a pint at The Trip. Outside there is an expansive seated lawn area, and in the covered courtyard a new bar has been created which Karl is looking forward to using for tap take-overs from local breweries and other events when the weather is warmer. There's even an ornate dog leash rail in the front courtyard as the team are keen to encourage the four legged friend in the pub. Now serving food daily between 12 and 5pm, another addition is that of table service in the upstairs bar, The Rock Lounge, allowing customers to relax away from the bustle while they order their food.
After our chat with Karl, while finishing our pints, we mused over what exactly makes The Trip so special. As one of England's many charmingly historical pubs – actually thought to be the oldest in the country – you really do find warmth and authenticity throughout. This is no mock museum in which to soak up your history – it's the real thing. The rock which encases the north of the building was carved by human hands, the caves running under the castle rock still hold their mysteries, and you very much feel that some riveting history has taken place here.
Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem is open Sunday to Thursday 11am – 11pm | Friday to Saturday 11 – 12pm.
Cellar Cave Tours are available, giving you a short detailed history of The Trip and information on its extensive range of ales. At times you may need to book in advance, especially in peak season, but ask at the bar and the staff will accommodate you if they can. You will see the speaking tube that was bored through to the castle for ordering beer and the cock pit, the extensive number of barrels and much more, but most importantly you will be able to pour your own pint! To book call 0115 947 3171.

Chennai readies for Seamless Transit – Metro Train's test run in 10 days
25 Oct 2013 in Category(ies): Author railPosted on 25/10/2013 25/10/2013 Categories Chennai Metro, Metro Rail Systems
CHENNAI: Seamless public transportation may soon make commuting in the city a snap. The test run of Chennai's first Metro train is likely to happen in the next 10 days, according to a Metro Rail spokesman.
The electrical functionality of all sub-systems in the coaches was tested on Wednesday. This included tests on lighting, air-conditioning and other electrical parts of the train that arrived in the city on May 31. The coaches were made by Alstom in Brazil. The maiden run is most likely to take place within the next 10 days
The foundation is in place to integrate all modes of public transportation. Suburban trains, MRTS rail stations and MTC bus terminals are just waiting for metro rail rakes to start zipping through two major corridors from the north of the city to the south.
The government, which will have to ensure that it brings all transit systems together to make commuting through the city efficient and decongest roads, plans to appoint a consultant to carry out a detailed study from September on integration of the various modes of transport.
With a rise in the number of vehicles in the city, the roads are showing signs of the pressure they are under, in the congestion, an increase in accidents and constant wilting of newly relaid stretches.
The city had 87,000 vehicles in 1984 and 36.82 lakh in 2012. The inability to provide proper public transportation has resulted in a worrying decline in use of public transit systems by 75% over the past three decades. Among the factors contributing to this trend is an increase in vehicular ownership, a bus fleet that has not been made larger.
"The consultant we chose will have to submit the report in seven months so we can begin work on the integration as soon as possible," a CMDA official said. CMDA's second master plan set a target of 70% of commuters using public transport by 2026. This will require a complete turnaround from the current situation, in which there is a complete lack of integration between services in the four rail corridors and bus routes in the city.
He said that the laying of 800 metre test track in the Rs 198 crore state-of-the art depot in Koyambedu is already complete. Earlier, it was reported that Chennai Metro Rail had invited Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa to flag off the trial run. However, the spokesman refused to divulge any details.
Meanwhile, tenders have been floated to execute the work on stretch between Officers' Training Academy and Chennai airport. The work came to a standstill after Metro rail terminated the contract of Lanco Infratech Limited, which was carrying out works in the stretch.
The state plans to introduce feeder services such as minibuses, autorickshaws and taxis in what is referred to as a route's 'area of influence' — the localities from which the highest patronage is expected. These feeder services ferry commuters from their doorsteps to stations and vice versa. Once metro rail is running, it will be connected by feeder services. The state additionally proposes common ticketing for hassle-free transportation. "Integration is needed," said urban transportation expert Raj Cherubal. "We have very good rail system in place, but it has to be more user-friendly."

Team USA Best of June Honorees Named by USOC
Clarence Cummings Jr. Photo: http://geowf.ge
The United States Olympic Committee has announced its Best of June award winners with Para track and field athlete Breanna Clark, weightlifter Clarence Cummings Jr and the American women's senior national synchronized swimming team all being named.
Clark claimed the national title and shaved more than a second off the women's T20 400 meter world record at the 2017 US Paralympics Track and Field National Championships.
The 23-year-old, who was nearly five seconds ahead of her closest competitor in the mixed event, crossed the finish line in 56.71sec to qualify for her first World Championships.
Cummings won his fourth consecutive International Weightlifting Federation World Championship as he defended his junior world crown in the 69 kilograms division.
He previously won titles at the 2016 Junior World Championships, 2016 Youth World Championships and 2017 Youth World Championships, and is due to represent the US at the Pan American Championships in July.
The US women's senior national synchronized swimming team won their first-ever world series team gold medal at the American Open in East Meadow in New York City.
They scored 166.2664 points in their first competition of the year, narrowly edging Canada in the two-session event.
The 11-member squad, led by Rio 2016 Olympian Anita Alvarez, managed to claim the historic win on home soil despite only training together for a couple of months.
In addition to Dow, the presenting sponsor, the Team USA Awards are supported by DICK'S Sporting Goods and USG.
Clark, Cummings and the US women's senior national synchronized swimming team are among the qualified athletes and teams that are eligible for Best of the Year honors in 2017.
The 2017 Best of the Year Awards are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles on November 29.
The Team USA Awards see each National Governing Body (NGB) nominate one female, one male and one team per discipline.
An internal nominating committee selects five nominees from both the male and female categories, and three from the team category to advance to the voting round.
Votes received from NGB representatives and select members of the media account for 50 percent of the final tally, with the other half determined by online fan voting.
Each of the five monthly men's and women's finalists, along with three team finalists, automatically qualify for consideration for the 2017 Team USA Awards.

Gary, Indiana, appealing to virtue in Amazon project pitch
By TOM DAVIES Associated Press
Long-struggling Gary, Indiana, is hoping to stand out in Amazon's search for a second headquarters site by offering a chance to pull the city from its decades of economic decline that's left it with among the country's highest poverty rates.
Indianapolis-area leaders are also making a pitch to Amazon, but aren't talking about what they'll be touting to the online retail giant in trying to lure its promised 50,000 jobs.
Gary officials are promoting the city and the surrounding northwestern Indiana area's proximity to Chicago, access to available land and Indiana's "pro-business environment" with lower taxes than in Illinois.
Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson says that mix offers Amazon and company CEO Jeff Bezos "the best of both worlds" — and the chance to do more than just build its new headquarters in another trendy city.
"This is an opportunity for Jeff Bezos to leave a legacy as having transformed or been a part of the transformation of a legacy city," Freeman-Wilson said in an interview. "We're suggesting to Bezos that this is much more than 'What's best for Amazon?' this is an opportunity to make a contribution."
Gary — named for the founding chairman of U.S. Steel — was an economic dynamo through the middle of the 20th Century before the loss of industrial jobs and white flight hit the city at the southern tip of Lake Michigan. Its population of about 76,000 people is less than half its 1960s peak — and its 33 percent poverty rate (54 percent for those under 18) is similar to Detroit's 36 percent rate and Cleveland's 35 percent, which are the highest among the country's 20 largest cities, according to U.S. Census estimates for 2016.
The mayors of Indianapolis and the suburban city of Fishers announced last month they would collaborate on a proposal to Amazon, emphasizing the area's current tech business community and available sites for the new headquarters.
But local officials haven't provided any details, and a spokeswoman for Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett said the city is "choosing to keep the specifics of our proposal confidential."
Gary officials took out an ad in the New York Times business section last month addressed to Bezos. The ad said picking Gary for the $5 billion project "may seem far-fetched," then compared it to the company's unlikely start operating out of Bezos' Seattle garage.
Freeman-Wilson said Gary offers Amazon a chance to go beyond the typical consideration of factors such as tax incentives and amenities in making its decision.
"It's not just me saying, 'You need to help us,'" Freeman-Wilson said. "It's me appealing to historically (what) they've done in other communities. It's just that they have an opportunity to do this in a much larger way."

Global Health ChallengesNCDsCancerA Common Enemy
This year may have well been one of the most important years for those of us committed to fighting cancer globally. The UN High-level Meeting on Non-communicable Diseases (NCDs), which took place in New York on 19-20 September, represented the climax of two years of intense advocacy and diplomacy to establish cancer and the other NCDs as a global political imperative. Before then, cancer and other NCDs were side issues during a decade fixated with HIV/AIDS (the only other disease to ever be the subject of a UN High-level meeting that took place in 2001), TB and malaria, which in combination take centre stage in the Millennium Development Goals. But now wisdom is beginning to prevail as the UN recognises the devastating effects cancer and other NCDs have in every country–not just developed countries where one in two people are likely to develop cancer during their lifetime, but also in low- and middle-income countries where NCDs are rapidly becoming an epidemic debilitating a whole generation.
We can draw comfort from the headlines contained in the UN Political Declaration on NCDs (document A/66/L.1) signed by 193 Member States; NCDs are "a challenge of epidemic proportions and its socio-economic and developmental impacts" and are devastating countries around the world. The challenge we face has to be coordinated through a "whole-of-government" and a "whole-of-society" approach, because none of us has the capacity or resources to control this epidemic alone. Fundamentally, we have to change the way seven billion people live their lives because in a large part our health is determined by exposure to risk factors and inadequate access to health-promoting environments, collectively constructed by our society. Tobacco will kill one billion people in this century alone if we stand on the sidelines. It is proposed in the UN Political Declaration on NCDs that the solution is to "strengthen national policies and health systems," encourage "international cooperation, including collaborative partnership," invest in greater "research and development" and build "monitoring and evaluation" systems to ensure that we "follow-up" in due course.
All this to achieve what? The unanswered question. The gaping hole in the Political Declaration is an overall target (or set of targets), which shows genuine commitment to address our generation's epidemic. Or, are we asking too much from a generation which is becoming too cosy with just 'noting' the problems that we will leave behind for future generations--the climate change issue; the growing disparity between rich and poor; worrying population growth; rapidly decreasing oil reserves? Where are the political leaders required to make our generation the resolvers rather than the observers of global problems? Who is stepping forward and placing a target in front of us that will inspire millions of people to take action and in so doing, protect our children and grandchildren?
In 2020, if we continue as we are, 44 million people will die unnecessarily. I may be one of them. Hopefully not, as I do my best to avoid NCD risk factors, I live in a country with an excellent health infrastructure and I can afford good health care. Nevertheless, for every one of me there are millions of people not in the same privileged position. Tobacco companies will encourage them to smoke; they will not have access to nutritious food or opportunities for regular exercise and consequently will become overweight or even obese. Controllable infections will expose women to cervical cancer. Cancer will be diagnosed too late, and in most countries, treatment and care will be woefully inadequate. The result? Countless families devastated by the loss of a father, a mother, a child or other family members and potentially immediate poverty and financial ruin.
So, our call to all Member States is to build on the UN Political Declaration on NCDs and to be even more ambitious. Let us be bold and tell our children today that we will not let cancer and other NCDs ravage their generation as it has our own. Let us aim high and set ourselves the extraordinary target of reducing the number of avoidable premature deaths from NCDs by 25% by 2025.
The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and its NCD Alliance partners, the International Diabetes Federation, the World Heart Federation and International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union) are not waiting for targets to be set by the political process. Every day we work together with our members to reach people affected by NCDs, helping them and their families survive and live with these debilitating diseases. This we will not stop, but to be more effective in our work, we require the engagement of governments and the private sector, governments to allocate priority and resources to intersectoral NCD interventions and the private sector to support joint action at country level and continue to invest in innovative ways to prevent and treat these diseases. The potential for collaboration is great and we welcome the UN High-level Meeting's commitment to make partnership work at every level.
NCDs affect us all. They do not label someone as a government official, an employee of a company or an NGO volunteer and treat him or her differently. We face a common enemy.

Contracting food poisoning is, happily, a rare occurence. I could count on one hand the number of such experiences suffered in my own lifetime. But that makes it no less unpleasant.
Having endured twenty-four hours of hurdy-gurdy gut, soaking fever and rigor mortis like shivers, broken only by shin cracking dashes to inspect close up the in-house plumbing system, my most basic instinct suddenly cut in. I needed a cup of tea!
But a full hour elapsed between the dawning of this realisation and my summoning up of energy sufficient to execute it. Eventually 'though, I slithered from my death bed like defeated ketchup dregs and sleazed on all fours to the kitchen. It took a further half hour to haul myself upright and the preparation of the cuppa that followed would surely rank with the best of Tati in the annals of satirical mimicry. But the making of the steaming elixir was eventually completed and I put it aside to cool.
Next, I reckoned that I had just enough strength in my aching limbs (read fingers) to check a few emails, optimistic I knew but I gave it a go.
The very first message to catch my bleary eye was from one Kris Karafotas. I know that name? Oh no, that Kris, she the high priestess of IBO! Automatically, for one with my questionable track record, I assumed that I was being dragged before the beaks to answer yet again for my dastardly delinquent deeds and other motley misdemeanours.
That accomplished I headed back to my pit of pain. But en route I caught a glimpse of my visage in the hallway mirror. Gone was my pasty pallor of sickness and I noted that I did feel considerably invigourated. The tea, caffeine sugar and all, had surely worked its magic? But no. The cup sat still untouched in the kitchen.
So what was the source of my revitalisation? Silly me! It was of course Doctor Kris's timely dispensed medicinal compound. Most efficacious in every case but never available on demand, it is known as GGG ….. a Genuinely Generous Gesture ….. and I the grateful recipient!

It's basically the "old style" hedge fund strategy, and many modern day hedge funds follow the equity long short or "equity hedge" strategy. But don't let the name fool you… even though this strategy plays both long and short sides it should not by any means be considered neutral. This is a market directional strategy that requires two distinct portfolios: one consisting of long stock positions and the other short positions.
But it typically produces significant market exposure by being overall net long. But in practice it's simple: you go long what is rising in price and go short what is declining in price....For example, if a manager were following this strategy, he would hold a portfolio that consisted of being long a group of individual growth stocks and short S&P futures, or a group of individual stocks he expected to decline.
The key is that there is more long exposure than short, so on net the portfolio as a whole is long. It is important to keep in mind that the amount or degree of this net long exposure varies depending on market conditions. In a strong trending bull market the short side of the portfolio would be minimized, increasing net long exposure. When prices are going down the amount of short positions would increase, dramatically decreasing net long exposure (while still remaining long on net). The benefit of this strategy lies in the ability to generate return from both the long and short side. Even though this strategy combines long and short positions it does produce systematic risk, meaning that it is affected by the direction of the market.
There are two methods to following the equity hedge strategy. They are the fundamental equity hedge strategy and the quantitative equity hedge strategy. The fundamental equity hedge strategy is driven from the bottom up, as individual stocks comprise the portfolio. Thus, competence with stock-picking and individual company analysis is a key skill in making this strategy a success. This is a viable strategy for many individual investors that manage their own money and enjoy doing research and analysis on individual companies, especially those who have an expertise in a certain market sector or market segment.
To implement this strategy, a manager could simply go long stocks in a hot sector and short stocks in a poorly performing sector and generate good returns. Clearly, the level of risk depends on the specific positions of the portfolio and the degree to which the portfolio is long on net.
But in general, do not be fooled by the level of risk exposure that can be generated by the equity hedge strategy. It can in fact entail significant risk. Traditional portfolio risk measures such as Beta rely on an assumption of a broadly diversified portfolio and thus can not accurately measure risk for portfolio strategies such as equity hedge due to the concentration in certain positions.
Unlike the fundamental strategy, the quantitative equity hedge strategy involves statistical arbitrage between a wide variety of markets. The kind of complex statistical arbitrage employed by large institutions and hedge funds is beyond what any individual investor would want to be concerned with. However, the concepts of the fundamental hedge strategy can certainly be understood and applied by most investors. It is a strategy that relies on the investors analytical skill in picking individual stocks, and market segments.
The equity hedge strategy depends heavily on manager skill and the ability to pick individual stocks that will increase in price as well as the ability to find stocks that are in trouble and declining in price.

For the longest time I thought you had to make the trade-off between being able to ski expert terrain or ski with crowds. Spending a day at Monarch proved this wrong.
We drove from Breckenridge, past Buena Vista and Salida to arrive at Monarch in about 90 minutes. Once we arrived, around 10:00 AM, we were just five or six rows back from the base. There is plenty of walk-up, free parking at the base of Monarch and the lifts are no more than a few hundred yards away (we've walked further to grab the shuttle when parking in free lots at larger resorts).
At Monarch we were able to ski plenty of beginner, advanced, and expert runs without having fellow skiers and snowboarders on top of us. We never had to wait in a lift line and didn't have to fight to find a table for four at lunch (there were at least three available when we arrived around 12:30 PM).
As I'm still working on my skiing abilities (as you recall, I decided to switch away from snowboarding at the end of last season) I never had to worry about making big turns and getting in anyone's way. I also felt comfortable going on runs beyond my comfort zone because I knew I could take all the space and time I needed without getting harassed from fellow visitors.
The facilities at the base are modest, but excellent. The cafeteria has plenty of room for everyone and a great selection of food. The Sidewinder Saloon is a gem where you can buy a full pitcher of local beer for as much as a single pint may cost you at other resorts. Plus, with table service and awesome food, it's hard to not love sitting back, watching a football game, and relaxing after a big morning.
That said, this is a simpler ski area so the little things, like tissues in the lift line, are not present. You still have your pass on the outside as it needs to be barcode scanned (no RFID). And, there are not a ton of vertical feet, so you won't get a record-breaking day. But, from what I've seen, you will find some excellent cat and hike-to skiing along with fresh snow even days after the last flakes fell.
I loved skiing at Monarch. It was well worth the drive and we'd highly encourage a visit.

and I'm interested in this 2016 Subaru WRX.
When I bought my first vehicle, I had to get under it and jump start with a screwdriver on the starter. I will make sure your next vehicle is better than that.
After years of trying different job paths I had realized I enjoy working with people. I ended up in restaurant hospitality for 10 years and decided to try my hand at car sales. I love everything about the business but the cold. I enjoy meeting new people everyday and developing relationships and being your car guy you know and trust. I live in Bellevue with my wife and young daughter.
I've been selling cars for quite sometime now. I treat people the same way I would like to be treated when I buy a car. Buying a car is a big purchase and I look forward to assisting people in making a great buying decision. I would like to be remembered by customers as, "I had a truly exceptional experience with Jose." My goal throughout your experience is to give you my best.

There's been a change in the weather. Last week the mercury lounged in the low 90, but yesterday the rain moved in. As were drove an hour northward last night for our performance in the northern part of the state, the wind rocked the car as we drove on the Interstate.
We unloaded our guitars just as the rain began to fall. By showtime, water rolled off the awnings outside in sheets. The people who braved the weather darted under the covered sidewalk and stomped water from their shoes. Once inside, the headed straight for the barista for a fix of hot coffee before the show began.
The crowd last night wasn't that big but we played as if we were playing for a stadium full of people.
It was a fun gig and we made new friends as well as howdy up with old ones.
The temps dropped all through the night and by this morning it was in the low 60s and did not reach much higher today.
When we walked after lunch, took a moment to snap a few pictures of the flowers blooming by the mailbox.
These flowers are beautiful now, but as the summer wears on, they get as gangly as a teenager with raging hormones. They are also invasive. A small patch here will turn into an acre of them if left unchecked.
After the blossoms fall off, I'll smite the with a weedeater.
Tonight, I plan to retire after I post this blog and make a nice cup of herbal tea.
I hope this has been a good weekend for you. It's been a grand one for us.
So glad to hear that your weekend was grand. I suspect your music made other people's weekends also joyous. What goes around comes around.
Music soothes the soul especially when it's raining cats and dogs. I'm glad you had a good evening.
At any age, the FUN times are best. Glad you had a great weekend. Good stuff.
Oh yeah and we got the rain here in NC TOO!
Thank you, it was a good weekend here in Ohio too. Beautiful flowers.
Music and rain woould make me happy.
I would have loved to run through the rain and then listen to you and Jilda!
My gr-daughter and I went shopping in the mall. She is the best shopping partner ever.
I love that you play for small audiences with the same enthusiasm as you would for a large one.
I love howdying up with you!!


Well, it has been eons since I've written anything here. Since I last wrote, I've gotten married, been to Spain, changed day jobs, spent two weeks in Wilmington, DE for work, and…whew. That's enough of an update on the personal end of things.
Tonight, M. is taking me to Martha Clarke's Garden of Earthly Delights. On our honeymoon, we gaped at Bosch's masterpiece in the Prado, but had to jostle with the expected swarm of tourists to enjoy all its bulbous glory. Now we are going to see this dance based on the painting, originally performed in 1985 and now resurrected for your viewing pleasure. The website has a fun feature where you can click on each part of the painting's triptych and gaze at all Bosch's details, both glorious and horrible. (Click on "the painting".) Enjoy!

Der Rauchenbichlerhof ist ein barockes Schlösschen im Stadtteil Schallmoos in der österreichischen Stadt Salzburg. Es liegt unmittelbar an der Linzer Bundesstraße, wurde stets zu Wohnzwecken verwendet und befindet sich auch heute in Privatbesitz.

Geschichte
Der Hof wurde 1120 als "Gut Waldbichl" erstmals erwähnt und stand ab 1238 im Eigentum des Stifts Sankt Peter, das Gut und Hof nach Erbrecht verpachtete. 1597 bis gegen 1677 war hier die Salzburger Kaufmannsfamilie Fabrizin ansässig, deren Wappen über dem südlichen Haustor des Hofes in Stein gemeißelt ist. 1677 bis 1741 besaß den Hof die Bierbrauerfamilie Kaserer. 1741 wurde das Bauwerk vom Salzburger Stadtrat Franz Anton Rauchenbichler und seiner Frau Maria Theresia Poschinger erworben und neu errichtet; es gehörte in der Franzosenzeit deren Sohn und Freiheitskämpfer Anton Rauchenbichler.

1822 besuchte Zar Alexander I. auf der Reise zum Veroneser Fürstenkongress der Heiligen Allianz das Schloss.

Ab 1831 lebte hier die frühere Geliebte Napoleons, Baronin Emilie Victorine Wolfsberg, geborene Emilia Viktoria Kraus, die Napoleon auf seinen Reisen begleitet hatte, in Salzburg wegen ihrer vielen Hunde als "Hundsgräfin" bekannt war und später völlig verarmt starb. 1841 erwarben Alois (Antons Bruder) und Elisabeth Rauchenbichler von Rauchenbühl den Hof. Ihnen folgten 1857 ihr Sohn Josef Anton Rauchenbichler von Rauchenbühl und 1881 dessen Stiefsohn Franz Mayr; nach 1881 gehörte der Besitz zusammen mit dem Gablerbräu viele Jahrzehnte der Familie Mayr. Die Tochter Maria Mayr heiratete am 11. Oktober 1921 den Brauereibesitzer zu Schärding Gustav Kapsreiter. Seitdem ist der Besitz im Eigentum der Familie Kapsreiter.

Rauchenbichlerhof heute
Der zweistöckige Bau ist aus Steinquadern des Salzburger Kapuzinerbergs erbaut; mit seinem Walmdach und einem kleinen historischen Garten ist das Anwesen im damaligen Zustand an sich gut erhalten, wobei der angebaute Pavillon renovierungsbedürftig erscheint und die Nähe zu einer Tankstelle eine gewisse "Vermüllung" nach sich zieht.

Heute befindet sich der Rauchenbichlerhof in Privatbesitz der Familie Kapsreiter und ist nicht zu besichtigen.

Game of Thrones is the best show currently on television. I've watched every episode multiple times and still am constantly blown away by the ending of Episode 9, "Baelor." My jaw smashed into the floor pretty hard. Seeing Rob Stark quickly growing up on screen is pretty neat.
I am always glad when I feel like a "find' a show on my own. I hadn't read (or even heard of the books) nor had I really heard much of anything about the series. Then sometime back in February or March I caught a trailer on HBO and was really intrigued. I instantly knew that it looked like it could be something special, and that I'd enjoy it. The best part about it is that my girl watched it with me and is just as into to it as I am.
I saw Peter Dinklage received a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor for GoT. My faith in humanity has been restored.
GoT got 13 noms overall, including Outstanding Drama.
Great news! Peter Dinklage has been amazing in his role as Tyrion. He certainly has one of the most interesting character arcs of the series. Lena Headey has also been pretty remarkable as Cersei. I had to do a double-take when I first found that she was the same actress who played the Queen in 300.
I've been re-watching the series these past few days on HBO On Demand, and it's remarkable just how much detail has been worked into the entire series. Perhaps it seems like it's getting a little more depth since I've started reading the novels and I notice that much more.
Looking forward to season 2, I have to wonder how the showrunners will handle some things. Will we get a name actor as Stannis Baratheon, for starters?
And in related news, Brienne has been cast.
Stephen Dillane seems to have been cast as Stannis Baratheon for season 2. HBO viewers may recall him in his role as Thomas Jefferson in the John Adams mini-series.
The Game of Thrones panel is on teh interwebz now. George R.R. Martin moderates, and the panel includes the two show runners and several prominent cast members.
Spoilers if you haven't watched the entire first season yet.
I saw Carice in Black Death a month or two ago, where she plays a somewhat similar role, and thought she would be awesome as Melisandre. Pity I didn't get online and call it back then.
I kind of pictured a young Christopher Lee as Stannis, but obviously that wasn't going to happen.
Oooh...good one Nathan on Lee...that would have been awesome.
Sio Bibble as Maester Cressen?
I've also been happy to see some casting announcements for roles like Asha Greyjoy (now to be known as Yara and avoid confusion about Osha), Craster, Davos Seaworth, Roose Bolton and more.
More Season 2 casting news.
Check out the new Season 2 trailer.
It's official! Season 2 premieres on HBO on April 1st, 2012.

James Vernon Taylor was born on March 12, 1948 to well to do family in Boston, Massachusetts. While he did some recordings in the later 1960s, his first sucess came in the early 1970s.
His career spans nearly 5 decades, and he has won (so far) five Grammy Awards. Many of his albums have gone platinum and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Dayton Ohio in 2000. In 2011 he received a National Medal of the Arts at a presentation in the Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
Childhood and Early Years
James Vernon Taylor was born on March 12, 1948, in Boston, Massachusetts. When he was 3 years old, his family moved to North Carolina, where he spent his next 14 years with the family usually spending summers on Martha's Vineyard. James's mother had studied singing and James, like all of her children, was also talented in music. He first studied the cello and then later began to play the guitar.
Early Music Career
In 1965, James Taylor committed himself to the McLean Psychiatric Hospital located in Belmont, Massachusetts. While James was there he worked on his songwriting. He left the Harvard affliated facility in 1966 and helped form his first band - The Flying Machine. They broke up after some limited success and James moved to London where he signed up with the APPLE record label. Taylor's first album, titled simply JAMES TAYLOR was released in December of 1968 and was considered good by the critics of the time, but did not sell well.
James returned to the United States in 1969 and was checked into a hospital in New York, fighting a drug addition. He then went to another mental health facility in Massachusetts. After he left there he went to the 1969 Newport Folk Festival and played there. Getting more popularity he then left for California and recorded his first USA album with Warner Brothers.
Musical Stardom
James Taylor's career blasted off with his second album, Sweet Baby James (February 1970), which had included his best known song, the sad and sweet "Fire and Rain." The album and the song both reached No. 3 in their chart categories and James was on his way.
On his next album, Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon, Taylor had a No. 1 hit. The song "You've Got a Friend," written by Carole King was very popular, winning him his first Grammy for his performance of the song.
A few other album releases with less success followed then the album James Taylor's Greatest Hits was released in 1976 and was very popular from the first day. The album has now received diamond certification which indicates it has sold 10million plus copies. In the next year, 1977, James won his second Grammy. It was for his version of "Handy Man" and also his first album for Columbia records.
During the rest of the 20th century James Taylor continued his work, and did more albums, live albums and worked on a musical which was on Broadway. His album Hourglass won the Grammy for Best Pop Album in 1997 and he won Grammys in 2001 and 2003 also.
Taylor has been sober since 1984. After two failed marriages—to Carly Simon from 1972 to 1983, and to Kathryn Walker from 1985 to 1996—he wed Carolyn Smedvig in 2001.
Throughout his music career the proud liberal Taylor has offered his support to causes and folks he can believe in. He has done many concerts for politicians, including Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, and George McGovern. James Taylor also is quick to get involved with benefit concerts, most recently the fundraiser for victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
In 2000, Taylor was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He received the National Medal of the Arts in 2011. Three months after the National Medal of Arts ceremony, Taylor returned to the White House to perform for President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a state dinner held in the Rose Garden. James Taylor also was designated a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 2012. Taylor was also honored with a Carnegie Hall Perspectives series, which consisted of four concert evenings presented by Carnegie Hall and featuring Taylor and personally selected musical guests. The first of these concerts was a gala benefit celebrating the 120th anniversary of Carnegie Hall. In November 2015, he was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In June 2015, James Taylor released "BEFORE THIS WORLD" - his first album of original material in 13 years. It is remarkable to note that it was his first album to top the Billboard 200 chart. So it is likely safe to say that this "oldie" is not done yet and has little chance of being forgotten anytime soon.

FIGURE 1. Tuberculosis prevention and control measures in school in three different scenarios.
The 3 different scenarios including: routine control with no active cases, detection of sporadic cases, and public health emergencies.
TABLE 1. Health examination at entry of different schools.
School type Examination methods
Nurseries /kindergartens, elementary schools, and non-boarding junior high schools First, history of close contact with tuberculosis (TB) patients and TB-like symptoms are checked. For children and students with a history of close contact with TB cases or suspicious symptoms, tuberculin skin test (TST) should be performed. For students who have contraindications for TST testing, the γ-interferon release test (IGRA) can be used for instead. For those with suspicious symptoms or strongly positive TST (≥15 mm or with double circle, blistering, necrosis or lymphangitis) or IGRA positive results, chest X-ray examination should be performed.
Senior high schools and boarding junior high schools First, TB-like symptoms are checked and TST or IGRA tested. Chest X-rays should be performed on those with suspicious symptoms or strongly positive TST tests or IGRA positive results.
Colleges and universities First, TB-like symptoms should be checked, and chest X-ray examination taken. High risk areas and high-risk schools can carry out TST or IGRA test at the same time.
TABLE 2. Pulmonary tuberculosis case contact screening and post-screening actions.
Subject Definitions/Approaches/Actions
Screening subject classification
Close contacts* Teachers and students in the same class with the index patient (diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis cases including tuberculosis pleurisy patients), and students who live together in the same dormitory with the index patient.
Family members who have been in contact with the index patient in the same residence for ≥7 days within 3 months prior to diagnosis and 14 days after initiation of treatment.
Other close contacts that are difficult to define in classes and dormitories, who have direct contact with the index patient (bacteriologically confirmed cases, or bacteriologically negative but having severe tuberculosis or showing obvious symptoms) in an enclosed space for ≥8 hours continuously or for ≥40 hours cumulatively within 3 months prior to diagnosis and 14 days after initiation of treatment. For other bacteriologically negative patients, the cumulative contact period of 40 hours is only calculated for the month prior to diagnosis of the index case.
General contacts Those who study and live together with the index patient on the same floor of teaching or dormitory building.
Occasional contacts Those who are in the same teaching or dormitory building but not on the same floor with the index patient, or other teachers and students who occasionally have contact.
Screening approaches
Contact age <15 years old Symptom screening and tuberculin skin test(TST)/γ-interferon release test (IGRA); if TST strongly positive or IGRA positive, should add chest X-ray examination.
Contact age ≥15 years old Symptom screening, TST/IGRA, and chest X-ray examination.
Suspected tuberculosis (TB) cases (those with suspicious symptoms of TB, TST strongly positive /IGRA positive, or abnormality in chest X-rays) Bacteriological tests, including smear, culture, and molecular diagnostic tests.
Bacteriologically confirmed TB cases Strain identification and drug susceptibility test. If feasible, it is recommended to keep the strains in order to carry out homology testing between strains collected from other cases afterwards.
Post-screening actions
Active TB patients Start standard anti-TB treatment and drug taking supervision and management as soon as possible
Suspected TB patients Be quarantined temporarily, after diagnosis or exclusion, taking follow-up actions accordingly.
Those with strongly positive TST (≥15 mm) or positive IGRA results Should receive preventive treatment with informed consent. For those who refuse, monitoring and follow-up observation should be strengthened to make sure they will go to the TB designated hospital in time if TB-like symptoms appear. Also, they should take a chest X-ray examination at 3, 6, and 12 months later. When the contact screening finds 3 or more epidemiological-related TB cases in a school, preventive treatment is strongly recommended for all eligible students.
Those with moderately positive (10–14 mm) and mildly positive TST (5–9 mm) results Should receive health education and strengthened follow-up observation, once TB-like symptoms appear, they should go to a TB-designated hospital promptly.When there are 3 or more epidemiologically-linked cases, it is recommended to perform chest X-ray examination again after 3 months.
Those with negative TST
(<5 mm) or IGRA results† Should receive health education and strengthened follow-up observation. If TB-like symptoms occur, they should go to a TB-designated hospital for TB examination promptly.
* If time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis is more than 3 months, the above definitions of infectious period of index patient should be updated to be from the onset of symptoms to 14 days after initiation of treatment
† For contacts with negative TST/IGRA results, when the outbreak in school is defined as a public health emergency, TST or IGRA should be performed again after 3 months, and chest X-rays should be taken for those with positive conversion. When there are 3 or more epidemiologically linked cases that have not yet constituted a public health emergency, it is recommended to conduct TST or IGRA again after 3 months.

Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis in Schools: Recommendations from China CDC
1. National Center for Tuberculosis Control and Prevention, China CDC, Beijing, China
Hui Zhang, zhanghui@chinacdc.cn
China is still a high tuberculosis (TB) burden country, and the number of new cases of TB was 833,000 in 2019 (1). School campuses are highly-crowded places with potential for close contact, which suggests that a few cases of TB may lead to a large outbreak. Thus, TB prevention and control in schools is an important disease control challenge for educational and health departments at all levels. In 2017, the former National Health and Family Planning Commission (now known as the National Health Commission, NHC) and the Ministry of Education jointly revised and issued the "School Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Work Regulations (2017 Edition)" (hereafter referred to as "School Regulations") (2). Based on the regulations, China CDC organized experts to formulate the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis in Chinese Schools" (referred to as "School Guidelines") to standardize and refine the recommendations for implementation.
The total number of students in China has remained as around 250 million since 2008. Students in nurseries/kindergartens, elementary schools, junior and senior high schools, and colleges/universities account for about 20%, 40%, 30%, and 10% of all students (3), respectively. The majority of students were between 3–24 years old, and the proportion of boarding school students is increasing.
In recent years, TB notified case numbers in students were around 48,000 per year with a reported incidence of about 1/3 of the general population. About 85% of all student cases were reported from senior high schools and colleges, aged between 15–24 years old (4). Most reported TB public health emergencies happened in senior high schools with several common features: cases mainly occurred in boarding schools; the proportion of bacteriologically confirmed cases was low; and emergencies in low-risk areas mostly occurred in schools with concentrated students immigrated from high-risk areas.
China CDC organized the first expert discussion meeting in Chongqing Municipality in July 2017. During this meeting, experts determined the main structure and details of the "School Guidelines". A total of 18 experts from different disciplines participated, formed the drafting group, and then developed the first draft of the guidelines based on existing research evidence and practical experiences. In November and December 2018, the draft was sent to all 31 provincial-level administrative division (PLADs) agencies for TB prevention to collect their opinions for revision. In January 2019, an educational system expert seminar was held in Nanjing City, and several small-scale expert seminars were organized later. In November 2019, 20 experts from the NHC, the National TB Expert Advisory Committee, China CDC, provincial-level educational administrative departments, and university hospitals that specialized in TB diagnosis, TB treatment, epidemiology, laboratory techniques, TB prevention and control, education and school health, reviewed and finalized the guidelines.
The school regulations specify prevention and control measures in 3 different scenarios: routine control with no active cases, detection of sporadic cases, and public health emergencies (Figure 1). Based on research evidence and field experiences, the school guidelines refined control measures, gave guidance on the application of several new technical instruments, and provided more practical recording tools for practice.

The school entrance examination for newly enrolled students should be completed before entering the school, or as latest as within 1 month after the start of school life (examinations required were listed in Table 1). All faculty and staff must undergo a health examination before joining the school, and routine health examinations should be performed once a year.
On-campus Health Education and School Environmental Sanitation
Various sorts of health education should be conducted for educational administrative departments, school principals, school doctors, teachers, students, and their parents. According to national school hygiene standards, schools should guarantee space per capita for classrooms and dormitories and strengthen the ventilation and sanitation of mass gathering venues.
On-campus Symptom and Absence Monitoring and Reporting
Nurseries/kindergartens, elementary and high schools should carry out morning symptom checks every day (5). Symptoms, such as cough and expectoration, should be recorded and reported to the school medical office. The student with suspicious symptoms of TB should be transferred to the local designated TB hospitals for diagnosis. For absent students, their teachers should verify whether the absence is due to illness, especially for students with presumptive TB or with suspicious symptoms of TB. For suspected or diagnosed TB patients, isolation or suspending schooling may be necessary.
Active Surveillance By Medical Facilities
For pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) patients aged between 3–24 years old, hospitals must check whether the patient is a student and report the name of the school, class, and other information in the National Infectious Disease Reporting System. The National Infectious Diseases Automatic Alert and Response System will send a single-case alert for every PTB case notified as being "in nursery/kindergarten", "student", "teacher", and/or aged 3–24 years old (6). After receiving an alert, the local CDC should promptly verify the information, contact the school, and start contact screening. The local CDC should also regularly analyze the TB epidemic situation in schools within their jurisdiction and conduct public media monitoring to detect clustered epidemics at an early stage.
Patient Diagnosis, Treatment And Management
TB diagnosis should be made based on patient contact history, symptoms, signs, imaging, and laboratory examination results (7). Treatment course will be determined based on reliable drug susceptibility test results, considering age, weight, and conditions of disease. Supervision of drug intake and support will be performed through the whole course of treatment. Students may need to suspend schooling until getting proof of recovery and non-infectivity.
Contact Screening
Contacts can be divided into 3 categories (Table 2). The primary screening is generally limited to the close contacts. If a new case is detected or a high tuberculin skin test (TST) strongly positive rate is observed, screening should be expanded to general contacts or even larger scales. See Table 2 for screening approaches and post-screening actions.
Preventative Treatment
The preventative treatment subjects are those excluding active PTB and including one or more scenarios: a strongly positive TST test result, TST net value increasing by ≥10 mm within two years, γ-interferon release test (IGRA) positive, or HIV/AIDS positive and TST≥5 mm. Preventative treatment will be given with informed consent, choices of regimen are 3 months of rifampicin+isoniazid/rifapentine+isoniazid, 6–9 months of isoniazid, or 4 months of rifampicin (8). A drug intake supervision will be provided. Routine blood tests and liver and kidney function tests will be performed at the second weekend and the end of every month after.
Schools should construct the building properly and establish a ventilation system in accordance to the national standards (9). Suspected and diagnosed TB patients who meet the conditions of schooling suspension will be placed under medical isolation or home isolation. UV radiation, chemical disinfection, etc., should be used in classrooms, dormitories, and other places that infectious patients have stayed.
Response To Clustered Epidemic
Once ≥3 TB cases are detected in the same school, the local county CDC should complete a field epidemiological survey within 3 working days and contact screening within 10 working days. The school should conduct health education, symptom monitoring, and environmental disinfection promptly. When a school has ≥10 epidemiologically-linked TB cases or ≥1 death from TB in the same semester, the county level (or its superior level) health administrative department can determine whether to declare a public health emergency. Once confirmed, the emergency should be reported within 2 hours, an emergency plan should be initiated (10), and an emergency response carried out according to risk assessment results.
The school guidelines are developed for health and educational administrative departments, schools, CDCs, medical institutions (TB designated hospitals and other medical institutions), and primary health care facilities at all levels to engage in school TB prevention and control. It has more clearly defined the responsibilities of various departments and pointed out how to handle various problems in practice, which will firmly guide the national school TB prevention and control work to be more standardized, prompt, and effective.

William Carroll served longer as Governor, 12 years, than anyone else in the history of the state. Under his leadership the Legislature passed laws in areas of criminal justice, fiscal policy, and education. Tennessee's "Business Governor" died in Nashville.


Over the coming months, as we get closer to the festive season, we're going to be sharing some tips and advice on topics relating to the holiday period. Today we're looking at gift ideas for your partner.
It can be hard to choose the perfect gift for your partner, whether it's their birthday, your anniversary, Valentine's Day, Christmas, or one of the many other holidays and events that seem to crop up across the year. There are so many occasions on which you have to buy a present for your loved one that you might be all out of ideas halfway through the year. But choosing the perfect gift isn't something that necessarily requires a lot of money or excessive amounts of planning. As the old saying goes, it's the thought that counts.
That might be a cheesy thing to say, but it's true. Still, if you're struggling to come up with gift ideas for your partner then here are some romantic suggestions that we regularly turn to.
If you're struggling to find something to buy for your partner then maybe you could treat them to a romantic day out, a surprise that could provide memories for many years to come. Perhaps it's a day out to your favourite town (like a day in Newcastle) or a trip to somewhere that holds special meaning to you both. Or maybe it's something simple like a trip to the cinema or your favourite restaurant.
Whatever you decide, making the effort to spend some time together and have a day out can prove to be a rather romantic gesture. We've found days out with Lewis to be really rewarding and are creating endless memories, so your romantic day out could in some cases include the kids (although it is nice to get some you time).
Another great romantic gift idea is to buy your partner a new accessory. Buying them something they can wear means that they'll be able to see their gift throughout the day. And if you choose a high-quality accessory then it's a gift that'll stand the test of time, too. A beautiful necklace could go down a treat if you're buying something for your girlfriend or wife. If you're buying for your boyfriend or husband then you might want to consider a nice new belt for their jeans or even a stylish hat (if they're a hat person).
Of course, you might want to opt for a slightly more extravagant gift. If you're looking for something beautiful and stylish for your lady then something like an Armani AR1926 watch could earn you some serious brownie points. The great thing about a stunning and elegant accessory like a watch or jewellery is that it's a gift which will be there wherever your partner goes.
When in doubt, can you go wrong with chocolate? Unless your partner is lactose (or is one of the few people who doesn't like chocolate) then this is a very safe bet. And if they really don't like chocolate then you could wrap up some sweets or even some wine and cheese for them to enjoy. When you're looking for a romantic gesture, food and drink is usually a safe bet; well, at least that's the case for us. It might not last as long as some of the other gift suggestions in this article, but that might be a good thing if your cabinets are starting to overflow with jewellery and socks.
If you want to really push the boat out then why not consider an overnight stay at a spa hotel, or if you can't spend the night, even just a day trip to the spa. Northern Ireland has some amazing spa hotels just waiting to be explored, and with Christmas around the corner, this could be a great gift for your better half. The Slieve Donard Resort & Spa in our hometown of Newcastle, the Galgorm Resort & Spa and Lough Erne Resort in Fermanagh would be our 3 favourite's so far. A great way to escape from it all for a few hours or days.

Q: AngularJs Delete confirmation from bootstrap modal I want to pass a value/id to bootstrap modal, after that from modal i want to pass value to angularjs to delete through php
my html code following

    {{product.NUMBER}}
    {{product.COMPANY}}

              Update

Delete

My modal code

          <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>

Modal Header

Want to delete

            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
          <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Delete</button>

my angularjs code
$scope.deleteproductInfo=function(product){
        $http.post("cdelete.php",{'product':product})
        .success(function(datasuccess){
                    $scope.Status = datasuccess.Status;
                    $scope.cardDisplay();
                });
    };

A: Use an extra function for this purpose. The function is called when modal is activates and the required parameters are set to a global variable. Then the values hold on the global scopes are use for second action.

A: I recommend you to use angular-ui#modal.
It's really simple to use, take a look:

(function() {
  'use strict';

  angular
    .module('app', ['ui.bootstrap'])
    .controller('MainCtrl', MainCtrl);

  MainCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', '$uibModal'];

  function MainCtrl($scope, $uibModal) {
    $scope.deleteModal = deleteModal;
    $scope.products = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
      $scope.products.push({
        "NUMBER": Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 1,
        "COMPANY": "COMPANY " + Math.floor(Math.random() * 500) + 1
      });
    }

    function deleteModal(product) {
      $uibModal.open({
        templateUrl: 'modal.html',
        controller: ['$scope', '$uibModalInstance', 'products', 'product', DeleteModalCtrl],
        resolve: {
          products: function() {
            return $scope.products
          },
          product: function() {
            return product;
          }
        }
      });
    }
  }

  function DeleteModalCtrl($scope, $uibModalInstance, products, product) {
    $scope.product = product;
    $scope.deleteProduct = deleteProduct;

    function deleteProduct() {
     /*$http.post("cdelete.php", {
        'product': product
      })
      .then(function(response) {
        $scope.Status = response.Status;
        $scope.cardDisplay();
      });*/
      products.splice(products.indexOf(product), 1);
      $uibModalInstance.close();
    }
  }
})();

China's Vice President Wang Qishan said on Tuesday that his country is ready to have talks with the U.S. and work to resolve trade issues.
Wang was speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum held in Singapore.
Signs with the US flag and Chinese flag are seen outside a store selling foreign goods in Qingdao in China's eastern Shandong province on Sept. 19, 2018.
China is ready to have discussions with the United States and work to resolve trade issues because the world's two largest economies stand to lose from confrontation, Vice President Wang Qishan said on Tuesday.
U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose further tariffs on $267 billion of Chinese imports into the United States if the two countries cannot reach an agreement on trade, ahead of his expected meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month.
"The world today faces many major problems that require close cooperation between China and the United States," he said. "It is our firm belief that China and the U.S. will both gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation."
Wang echoed comments by Xi on Monday at a major trade expo that Beijing will embrace greater openness, amid mounting frictions with the United States.
"Our relationship will have a direct impact on global stability and development," he said.
"Trade and economic cooperation remain the anchor and propellor of a steady and healthy China-US relationship which is in essence mutually beneficial. China will stay calm and sober-minded, embrace greater openness and work for mutual benefit."
