Sports Car Digest· May 20, 2009
RM Auctions, in association with Sotheby's, held its 2009 Ferrari Leggenda e Passione auction on May 17th at Ferrari S.p.A. in Maranello, Italy. RM achieved yet another world record result when the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold for $12,402,500.
RM Auctions' 3rd annual auction is the only auction dedicated to the Ferrari marque, held within the Maranello factory grounds and endorsed by the Ferrari factory.
The 2009 Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event featured three Maseratis and 33 road and racing Ferraris, headlined by the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California and a 1956 Maserati 250F Grand Prix Car. As in years past, all cars offered were certified by Ferrari Classiche.
Top sale went to the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa at $12,402,500, followed by the 1956 Ferrari 250 GT Tour de France at $3,176,250, 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder at $2,911,563, and the 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB at $1,096,563. The other featured cars – 1967 Ferrari 330 P4, 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder and 1956 Maserati 250F Grand Prix Car – did not meet their required reserves.
RM Auctions offered 36 automobiles for sale, with 27 finding a new owner, reflecting a 75% sales rate. Total sales volume was $28,430,875 and the average price per car sold was $1,052,995.

2009 Ferrari Leggenda e Passione Results:
1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa – Sold for $12,402,500 versus unavailable estimate. Chassis # 0714TR was extensively raced in period and was offered at auction for the first time. Painted in its period race-correct black livery and red nose.
Sale established a new world record price for the most expensive car ever to be sold at auction. Despite the record price, it was a fairly orderly sale as a phone bidder and an Italian bidder in the room slowly but surely made their way to the end result with the phone bidder taking the prize. While the price paid is significant (and then some), so is the Testa Rossa.
1967 Ferrari 330 P4 – Did not sell at high bid of $9,968,750 versus unavailable estimate. Driven by Jackie Stewart and Chris Amon to 3rd place finish at 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans; also won the 1000km of Monza. Converted into Ferrari 350 Can-Am form late in 1967 and currently presented in same bodywork; offered for the first time in 38 years.
This no-sale was drama of the highest order as Rob Myers of RM maneuvered back and forth between the seller and a potential buyer - a prominent American collector - trying his best to get one of them to budge or meet in the middle. While this negotiation process took minutes, it felt like hours and with each passing minute the tension ratcheted up a notch. It's a shame it did not trade at this price, although it was very entertaining to watch it unfold.
1956 Maserati 250F Grand Prix Car – Did not sell at high bid of $2,041,600 versus pre-sale estimate of $2,300,000 – $2,900,000. Chassis number 2526 was driven to victory at the 1956 Monaco Grand Prix by Stirling Moss.
1959 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Speciale Bertone – Did not sell at high bid of $2,200,000 versus pre-sale estimate of $3,000,000 – $4,000,000. One of two 250 GT SWB Ferraris bodied by Carrozzeria Bertone.
1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder – Did not sell at high bid of $5,500,000 versus pre-sale estimate of $5,800,000 – $7,400,000. One of 37 SWB covered headlight California Spyders.
1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spyder – Sold for $2,911,563 versus pre-sale estimate of $2,800,000 – $3,400,000. Chassis # 1487 GT, an original covered-headlight example, enjoyed an active racing career, driven by Pierre Mion at Cumberland, Bridgehampton, Lime Rock and finishing 2nd overall at the 1960 six-hour race at Marlboro. The car was subsequently sold by Luigi Chinetti to the Rodriguez family in Mexico; Pedro drove 1487 GT to a class victory at the 1961 Gran Premio Indipendenza in Mexico.
1956 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Tour de France – Sold for $3,176,250 versus pre-sale estimate of $3,700,000 - $4,400,000. Chassis # 0563 GT is the last of the series of eight cars produced in this body style. With its strong competition history, it would be eligible for the Tour Auto, Mille Miglia Storica and Shell Ferrari Maserati Historic Challenge.
Last seen at RM's Monterey sale last August, where it failed to sell at high bid of $3,900,000. In percentage terms, the drop in price is comparable to other markets.
1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/C – Did not sell at high bid of $1,718,750 versus pre-sale estimate of $2,400,000 – $3,000,000. One of the second series of ten Competizione Clienti cars built and one of just three right-hand drive examples. Previous owners include Maranello Concessionaires, Paddy McNally, Alan Mann and Frank Gardner. Offered for first time in more than 25 years.
1966 Ferrari 275 GTB Alloy - Sold for $1,096,563 versus pre-sale estimate of $1,100,000 - $1,300,000.
1964 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso Competizione – Did not sell at high bid of $796,250 versus pre-sale estimate of $1,100,000 – $1,500,000. Chassis # 5367 GT is one of only three competition Lussos; 5th in class at 1964 Tour de France.
1973 Ferrari 365 GTB 4 Competizione – Did not sell at high bid of $2,887,500 versus pre-sale estimate of $3,300,000 - $4,000,000. Chassis # 16363 was the second of the Series III factory competition (12 of 15 total) 365 GTB/4s built. Vic Elford and Claude Ballot-Léna drove 16363 to first in class and sixth overall at the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans. Currently ready to race in original Thomson livery, 16363 is one of the few competition Daytonas to retain all of its original components, including the gearbox and engine.
1971 Ferrari 365 GTB 4 Spyder – Did not sell at high bid of $1,031,250 versus pre-sale estimate of $1,200,000 - $1,500,000. Never titled at any point in its unbroken ownership history, Chassis # 14543 is one of the lowest-mileage, most original and unique Daytona Spyders in existence. While a great story, many wondered what they would do with it considering it didn't make sense to title or drive it. The white with red stripe didn't help its cause either.
1957 Maserati 250S – Did not sell at high bid of $1,856,250 versus pre-sale estimate of $2,000,000 - $2,300,000. Chassis # 2431 is the first official factory Tipo 250S built, delivered new to the Texas dealership Hall & Shelby of Carroll Shelby and Dick Hall, brother of future Chaparral founder, Jim Hall. Raced successfully in period by Shelby and Jim Hall.
1990 Ferrari 641/2 Formula One Race Car – Sold for $393,250 versus pre-sale estimate of $400,000 - $540,000. Chassis # 121 was driving to victory at the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix by Alain Prost, plus two 3rd place and two 2nd place finishes throughout the season.
1985 Ferrari 288 GTO – Sold for $529,375 versus pre-sale estimate of $510,000 - $610,000.

Where is the recession? Apparently not Maranello…
Wheelspin says:
Excellent report and photos. However, the converted Can-Am Ferrari 330 P4 mentioned was only ever driven by Jackie Stewart at the 1967 BOAC 500 held at Brands Hatch. He co-drove the car (in its original Spyder configuration) with Chris Amon to a second place finish behind the winning Phil Hill/Mike Spence driven Chaparral 2F.
FrankFord says:
The history of Ferrari 330 P4 s/n 0858 can be viewed at barchetta
http://www.barchetta.cc/english/All.Ferraris/Detail/0858.330P4.htm
Thanks! Well, almost right I guess. Jackie Stewart's one and only drive in a Ferrari P4 was indeed at Brands Hatch for the 1967 BOAC 500 – but obviously not in the chassis mentioned in the above report or my comments. Nonetheless, it is a shame that the factory converted some endurance P4s for the Can-Am series. I wonder if the next owner will be tempted to return the Can-Am car back to its original endurance configuration? By the way, Anthony Pritchard's Scarlet Passion book has some excellent photos of P4s racing in the 1967 Can-Am series!
Great timely report and photos. Nice to see you guys were out at the auction. Keep up the good work.

For a lively discussion on this topic (342 posts last I looked), go to the Vintage section of Ferrarichat.com and follow the "0858 to be auctioned" thread…
The ferrarichat.com thread makes interesting reading. I concur with the gent on the forum who suggested that as the Can-Am P4 is currently exactly how it left the factory in 1967, it should remain in that configuration!

In this blog, I want to say about how to load CSV/Text file in MySQL.
The purpose of Load Data Infile is loading CSV/Text file to MySQL or any delimited data files to MySQL database.
For large data which we cannot insert data by using normal insert command can be done by using Load Statement.
The external files (csv/flat/text files) cannot be queried and we cannot perform any operations that we are performing on the tables in database.
Generally, after creating a table we need to populate data. This can be done by using INSERT statement or LOAD statement.
We need to convert the data of flat/csv/text files into database tables which can be done by using import or by using load command.
The data can be loaded by different methods and in this blog, I will explain about how data can be loaded directly from csv to MySQL database using single command.
1. We can load a csv/text file by import option in MySQL workbench.
2.In toad for MySQL we load a csv file by import option.
5. We can load it by using load statement.
We can load a csv/text file by import option in MySQL workbench.
Give the path where the file is saved and click on next.
The preview of the table will be shown as below.
2. In toad for MySQL we load a csv file by import option.
Open the toad for MySQL and click on tools->import->import wizard.
(In that we can add or remove the columns) and click on next.
and click on finish. The data is successfully loaded.
select the database in which you have created the table.
Type load command and click on enter. The data is loaded successfully.
We can load the file using command prompt.
At a time, we can import more than one csv file but before importing we need to create the table structure.
5. We can load it by using load statement in MySQL Workbench.
Low_priority: Makes the execution wait until no other client is reading from the table.
Concurrent: If we want concurrent transactions to be able to read from the table during the import, then we can use this.
Replace: If we want to replace existing data by data being loaded from file, we will add REPLACE keyword before into table. This will eliminate the duplicates in new data.
Tablename: The table name which we create.
Character_set: used to specify character set of the file.
Fields terminated by: specifies the character used to separate the fields, string which is separated for every column.
Enclosed: Character which the values are enclosed with.
Escaped: character which is not required in the column can be escaped.
For example with FIELDS ESCAPED BY '^' a line consisting of First,Second^,Third,Fourth would be parsed as three fields: "First", "Second, Third", and "Fourth".
FIELDS ESCAPED BY value is a backslash : FIELDS ESCAPED BY '\\'.
lines starting by: Used to skip over the prefix if all the lines to be read in have a common prefix.
Set: Using SET you can assign values to those columns which were not available in csv and are not-null.
Ignore: This is used to skip the lines or columns when not required.
No of columns in the csv file should match with no of columns in table structure created.
Out of range value error: Out of range value for column 'column name' at row 1 occurs when size of column data in csv file is greater than size of column in table created.
When there is an illegal character in the CSV file that you are trying to import. To rectify this, the most important thing to remember is that your CSV file must be UTF-8 encoded.
Data truncated error: This occurs when source column datatype in the file differs from target column.
Incorrect integer value error: This occurs when column data contains null values.
I have got the following issues.
To resolve this I have saved the file as text with .txt extension and changed the character set as UTF-8 and loaded the file again.

Already own the Orthopedic Assessment DVDs or Massage and Manual Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions text? Call us at 1-800-364-5722, 9am to 5pm, to discuss your enrollment options.
Learn classic assessment techniques for the neck, shoulder, elbow, ankle, knee, hip, spine and more. This course introduces massage techniques for orthopedic conditions, promoting the alignment of soft tissue relating to pain and dysfunction.
For clinical massage therapy, the course text contains brief descriptions of rationale behind orthopedic massage, mechanisms of injury to and repair of soft tissue, and anatomy of each body area.
impingement tests for the rotator cuff.
You'll learn specific orthopedic conditions of the human body and discover how various massage therapy techniques can help ease pain and dysfunction of soft tissue. Specific pathologies regarding mobility, posture, injuries and diseases are included as examples of what can be addressed by massage therapists and which conditions are seen as contraindications. Several methods which help to promote proper alignment of soft tissue including wave mobilization, muscle energy technique and joint mobilization are defined, explained and demonstrated in the course materials.
The Orthopedic Assessment program will walk you through a logical progression of testing that will reveal the underlying pathology with crystal clarity.
The techniques and assessment provided in this program are meant to be practiced by licensed healthcare practitioners. Check your local laws to find out if performing these tests is within your scope of practice.
This was a great course. Lots of good muscle review. Plus great assessments for additional adjunct work in the massage field. This course will help me to take my massages to a new level.
This course is very in depth. The manual/book along with the DVD's were very helpful in completing the course. I would recommend this course for the more advanced graduate. I would not recommend this course for the graduate looking to just fulfill CEUs.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course! Excellent! Thank you for giving me more tools to help others!
Amazing course! The book and instructional DVD were very easy to follow. I now can target and help clients on a whole new level!!
This is an awesome course!!!
Great course, exceeded my expectations!! Thank you for all of your hard work.
Great course and book. I learned a lot of valuable information.
Great way to earn credits at home! thanks a bunch:).
The book is an excellent source of invaluable information. The DVD's are as well but every time I sat down to watch I would fall asleep. I think it was because of the background music and the white background setting behind Dr. Edmundson and his demo person. It was just too hypnotic. Different music with maybe a quiet library or classroom setting would help.... At least that is what I thought would hold my attention better. Other wise it was a fantastic course! I found it challenging and very Fascinating! With lots of practice this course will help take my work tonew levels.
I appreciated having the DVD's to this course. I suggest otheres taking this course to have taken or have a strong background and understanding of anatomy, physiology, basic biomechanics, and have a background in structural bodywork. This course will take that practitioner to the next level and sharpen his/her skills quicker. In conclusion, having a strong foundation and experience in orthopedic massage prior to this course anchored and added to my work. I have already and will continue to use Thomas Hendrickson book as a strong resrouce.
If you love anatomy, be ready for this one. It will bring out the best in you, and the overall treatment plan for your clients.
Loved it!! I cant wait to take more courses!
Massage is about circulation. Retaining a good understanding of lymphatics will help you to create a better awareness to yourself and client while giving massage.
The LDM course and materials are excellent. I was able to apply the knowlege immediately on myself with immediate results as I am in a post operative stage.
This was the most informative and well laid out material I have study in a long time. I will continue to refer to the information I have learned from this course.
Took longer than expected. Lot of theory.
Great course! A good refresher for anyone needing to brush up!
My expectation for an online course were fairly low. This class WAY exceeded those expectations!
Really enjoyed taking this course, you essentially get 2 courses in one. You can really go and study all the MET and STM protocols in the manual and add it to your therapy sessions, they are very precise in the writing of every step on how to perform these modalities. The DVD's are full of info and great assessment approach, although the background to them was pure white and it gets to your eyes and gave me a headache after the first DVD and i had to take a break.
The videos are course material were very informative and relevant, but I found the test questions significantly less relative to my initial take away information. Although I learned lots of other this in school I would have liked to see more questions focused on how the assessments could alter or enhance our treatment plans. Overall I found this course a great refresher and the actual course material relating MET and soft tissue techniques to various areas and conditions extremely helpful.
The textbook by Hendrickson will be a great reference tool in my practice. The videos (2) with Alan Edmundson, PT, were well done and instructive. His experience gives insight into different conditions and how to access them. The graphic illustrations are well integrated with his instruction and demonstration. I would like to see more videos from him in addressing specific injuries and conditions like rotator cuff injuries, hip and knee replacements, and geriatric falls. Highly recommended course, especially if you are willing to follow the video demos with a willing client on a massage table.

Nelson Institute alumna expands community conservation efforts around the globe
Master's Degree in Conservation Biology and Sustainable Development, PhD in Environment and Resources from the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
From the lush rainforests of Napo Province, Ecuador to the golden shores of Coron Island in the Philippines, Nelson Institute alumna, April Sansom has traveled the world to work with communities on land rights and conservation initiatives. A long-time believer in the power of community-based conservation, Sansom focuses much of her work on small scale conservation projects that empower local groups to independently manage land use and conservation projects. Although her first experience with this work occurred during her time with the United States Peace Corps, she became deeply involved in community-based conservation during her time as a graduate student at UW-Madison, forming relationships that she continues to foster in her new role as Director of Community Conservation.
For Sansom, the Nelson Institute provided the interdisciplinary graduate environment she was seeking and offered her an opportunity to work on a UW-Madison project that involved small scale dairy farmers living in buffer zones near important protected areas in Latin America. A collaboration between the UW-Madison Dairy Science department, the Dairy Forage Research Station, and the Nelson Institute, Sansom had the opportunity to interact with dairy farmers in Bolivia and learn more about their land use needs and conservation ideas.
"It was a really wonderful interdisciplinary project in the truest sense of the word," Sansom said. "My particular role was to work with women who were dairy farmers and learn from them about their roles in natural resource management activities in rural Bolivia. It was such a wonderful project and opportunity and I loved being a graduate student."
In fact, Sansom loved it so much, she decided to pursue her PhD at the Nelson Institute and continue her community-based conservation work in Latin America. For her PhD project, Sansom focused on the conservation activities in Ecuador, where many dairy farmers are nestled in the heart of three major protected areas near the Amazon Rainforest.
"This was a tremendously rewarding experience, because the farmers were so inspiring in their efforts to manage their farms in a more sustainable way while providing for their families," said Sansom. "One of the things they were needing to do to provide enough food for the cows was to push into the protected areas, but they were working really hard to avoid that. So, my job was to essentially analyze the activities in Ecuador, look at the outcomes, and research what outcomes were successful and what worked from the perspective of the farmers. For that research, I had a wonderful committee that allowed me to do academic research that was actively helping people, which was a wonderful experience to have as a graduate student."
During this time, Sansom had been thinking about her future career aspirations and her desire to work in community-based conservation with a focus on small scale projects in small communities. So, when she met then, Community Conservation director Robert H. Horwich during one of his lectures at the Nelson Institute and learned that his organization focused on small scale community conservation, she was excited to join his team. At first she joined the organization as a board member, but was named director after Horwich's untimely death.
"I was excited to work on small scale projects in small communities as I believe that's where we will find solutions and scale them up," Sansom said. "Community Conservation is a great grassroots organization that has a good track record of successful conservation projects around the world." Founded in Gays Mills, Wisconsin, in 1989 by conservation expert and scientist Robert H. Horwich, Community Conservation "empowers local people to manage and conserve natural resources within the social, cultural, and economic context of their communities."
"I'm incredibly proud and excited to be the director and doing the programming as well as the administration," Sansom said. "We have a really neat story. We were founded by a behavioral ecologist who started it in his living room in Gays Mills, Wis., which is as grassroots as it can get. He was a visionary in his time in terms of community focused conservation that focused on local conditions and local people. He worked directly with the communities to find solutions to conservation challenges and he was very good with that. Now, we have the opportunity to build on his legacy."
Sansom says she is honored to carry on that legacy, but she is equally excited to have the opportunity to continue the projects she started while she was a student at the Nelson Institute.
"I just returned from Ecuador where I had an opportunity to reconnect with the farmers I worked with as a graduate student," Sansom said. "I was able to see how the solutions are still benefitting them and explore the possibility of collaborating with them on a new project with Community Conservation. We would really be building on the work I did as a graduate student and thinking about how we can move that work forward."
Sansom says she is excited about the possibilities and the positive connections Community Conservation and the Nelson Institute have introduced into her life.
"Things are very exciting and interesting and I really enjoy it. I like working on building our board, and collaborating with the entire impressive team. We have another employee [Communications and Outreach Coordinator Shelly Torkelson] who is a Nelson Institute alumna and it's very fun to work with her since she is a graduate of the evolved and developed program that I went through," Sansom said. "I also really enjoy reaching out to our supporters and having conversations with people who are inspired by our story and want to have an impact on our mission. I have these wonderful experiences connecting with and talking with people. I feel really lucky that my job is also my passion."

Girl arrested for punching mother carrying 2-year-old boy
A 17-year-old girl was arrested Saturday morning after she punched her mother while her mother was carrying a 2-year-old boy, police said.
The incident occurred after the girl and the 35-year-old woman had an argument about 12:50 a.m. in Kapolei.
The girl fled after punching her mother, police said.
The woman was carrying her son at the time and felt pain from the incident.
Officers found the girl nearby and arrested her for investigation of felony abuse of a family member while a child under 14 is present.
The charges were later reclassified to misdemeanor abuse.

Transplant surgeon acquitted
By Patrick Howe
Dr. Hootan Roozrokh was acquitted of a charge of abusing a dependent adult, in a closely watched local case where the transplant surgeon was accused of speeding up a man's death so his organs could be taken.
A Superior Court jury on Dec. 18 found him not guilty after a two-month trial and two days of deliberations. His attorney subsequently criticized the unusual prosecution, saying it should never have been brought to court.
The case garnered national media attention because it was believed to be the first time a transplant surgeon was charged in relation to a donor's death.
The case against Roozrokh, from San Francisco, centered on allegations that he'd prescribed excessive amounts of painkillers to Ruben Navarro during the event in 2006 in an effort to speed his death. During the trial, his attorney said Roozrokh had been trying to ease his suffering.
Although Navarro, who was brain damaged and in a coma, was removed from life support, he did not die until eight hours later, making it impossible during that time to harvest his kidney and liver.
Roozrokh still faces a civil trial.

Q: Output number larger than it should be - gcc compiling My assignment is to find the greatest product from two five digits number found in a huge character array.
You have to do it by brute force.
The largest 5 digit number found in the array is 99890, so the largest product is simply that times itself which is 9978012100, but I cannot seem to get that answer, and in fact I get an answer larger than that when I run the program.
My program works when I change the program to look for the largest 4 digit number product, but it falls apart when I look for 5. I'm wondering if the numbers are just getting too big for my crappy IDE or something.
Could someone compile and run the following code in gcc and tell me what the answer they get is? It would be much appreciated.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (void){

}
printf("%d\n", greatestProd);

A: prodHolder = (long long)aNumber * (long long)bNumber;

A: A number as large as 9978012100 requires 34 bits - log(9978012100)/log(2), plus an additional bit if using signed data types.  While you have used long long which is most likely 64 bits, you have not used an appropriate format specifier in the printf() call to display the result.
If your library is C99 conformant, then the correct format specifier is "%lld".
Also the result of an int * int operation is an int, you must cast at least one of the operands to generate a long long result, the implicit cast in the assignment is insufficient since the result has already been calculated and the data lost.  A possibly better solution is simply to use long long for the operand types in the first instance.

SHARKO v. UKRAINE About Project
SECOND SECTION
CASE OF SHARKO v. UKRAINE
(Application no. 72686/01)
This judgment will become final in the circumstances set out in Article 44 § 2 of the Convention. It may be subject to editorial revision.
In the case of Sharko v. Ukraine,
The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting as a Chamber composed of:
Mr J.-P. Costa, President,
Mr I. Cabral Barreto,
Mr R. Türmen,
Mr V. Butkevych,
Mr M. Ugrekhelidze,
Mrs E. Fura-Sandström,
Ms D. Jočienė, judges,
and Mrs S. Dollé, Section Registrar,
Having deliberated in private on 22 March 2005,
Delivers the following judgment, which was adopted on that date:
1. The case originated in an application (no. 72686/01) against Ukraine lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by a Ukrainian national, Mr Georgiy Alekseyevich Sharko ("the applicant"), on 30 December 2000.
2. The Ukrainian Government ("the Government") were represented by their Agents, Ms Valeria Lutkovska, succeeded by Ms Zoryana Bortnovska.
3. The applicant's complaints under Articles 6 § 1 of the Convention were communicated to the respondent Government on 9 May 2003. On the same date the Court decided that Article 29 § 3 of the Convention should be applied and the admissibility and merits of the complaint be considered together.
4. The applicant and the Government each filed observations on the admissibility and merits (Rule 54A).
5. The applicant is a Ukrainian national who was born in 1939 and currently resides in Donetsk.
I. THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CASE
6. The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.
A. Disablement benefit proceedings
7. On 23 May 1987 the applicant was injured in an accident at a State mine belonging to the Trest Donets'ke Shakhtobudivel'ne Upravlinnia No. 6 (the "DSU"). On 26 August 1987 the Medical Expert Commission recognised the applicant as falling within the third category of invalidity (третя група інвалідності). From 1987 to September 1996 the applicant received disablement benefits from the DSU.
8. In September 1996 the DSU stopped paying the disability allowance to the applicant.
9. In April 1998 the applicant instituted proceedings in the Voroshylovsky District Court of Donetsk against the DSU, seeking compensation for the disablement benefits which had not been paid to him since 1996.
10. On 25 January 1999 the Voroshylovsky District Court of Donetsk allowed the applicant's claims in part. It ordered the DSU to pay the applicant UAH 3,496.031 in compensation for material damage. On 18 February 1999 the Donetsk Regional Court partly quashed that decision in respect of the amount of compensation and remitted the case for fresh consideration.
11. The applicant's complaints to the Presidents of the Donetsk Regional Court and the Supreme Court of Ukraine, with a view to initiating a supervisory review, were rejected on 1 April 1999 and 26 September 2000, respectively, as being unsubstantiated.
12. On 1 July 1999 the Voroshylovsky District Court of Donetsk allowed the applicant's claims. It also ordered the DSU to pay the applicant UAH 7,336.222 in compensation.
13. Later, the applicant introduced a claim against the DSU with the Kuybyshevsky District Court of Donetsk, requesting reimbursement of the disability allowance for the period between 1 July 1999 and 1 December 2000. On 16 May 2001 court awarded the applicant the amount of UAH 5,962.223.
14. On 1 November 1999 the applicant received UAH 254 in execution of the judgment of 1 July 1999.
15. On 7 February 2000 the Donetsk Regional Department of Justice informed the applicant that no breaches of the law were found in the course of the execution proceedings or the auctioning of the DSU's property by the Voroshylovsky District Execution Service.
16. In March 2000 the Voroshylovsky District Execution Service informed the applicant that the judgment could not be executed in full due to the DSU's lack of funds and its outstanding debt of UAH 800,0005 in salary and social benefit payments.
17. On 27 April 2000 the Donetsk Municipal Council, in response to the applicant's complaints, informed him that there was no finding of a breach of the law in the course of the execution proceedings or the auctioning of the DSU's property.
18. On 16 May and 27 June 2001 the Kuybyshevsky District Court of Donetsk respectively awarded the applicant UAH 5,962.226 and UAH 714.157 in compensation for unpaid disablement benefits for the period from 1 July 1999 to January 2001.
19. The aforementioned judgments were presented to the Kuybyshevsky District Bailiffs' Service for enforcement on 5 June and 27 August 2001, respectively. The enforcement proceedings were initiated on the same date.
20. During 1999-2002 the judgment of the Voroshylovsky District Court of 1 July 1999 was partially enforced in instalments: in 1999 the applicant received UAH 4138, in 2000 – UAH 4769, in 2001 – UAH 1,56010 and UAH 2,403.8511, and in 2002 – UAH 2,51412.
21. Pursuant to payment order no. 247 of 15 July 2003, the applicant received the remaining part of the debt (UAH 6,645.74).
22. On 16 July 2003 the Bailiffs' Service terminated the enforcement proceedings on the writs of execution of the Kuybyshevsky District Court for the judgments of 16 May and 27 June 2001 (UAH 714.1513 and UAH 5,962.2214) and the writ of execution of the Voroshylovsky District Court of Donetsk of 1 July 1999 (UAH 7,336.2215), in view of the full enforcement of the respective judgments given in the applicant's favour. The proceedings concerning the judgment of 1 July 1999 were terminated on 16 July 2003 due to the payment in full in 2002 (date unspecified). The judgments of 16 May and 27 June 2001 were enforced on 16 July 2003 only.
23. On 15 October 2003 the Donetsk Regional Department of Justice informed the applicant that his complaints about the failure of the Bailiffs' to enforce the judgment of 1 July 1999 and to pay him UAH 41316 were unsubstantiated.
B. The applicant's complaints about his eviction
24. The applicant alleges that on 7 July 1998 he was evicted from his room in the DSU's dormitory. The applicant was on the waiting list for State housing but was not provided with an apartment.
C. Savings Bank deposits of the applicant
25. The applicant maintains that he has 11,395.65 Soviet Rubles deposited with the Savings Bank. The applicant alleges that in 1991, after Ukraine declared its independence, the deposits disappeared.
II. RELEVANT DOMESTIC LAW
26. The relevant domestic law and practice is set out in the judgments of Romashov v. Ukraine (no. 67534/01, §§ 16-18, 27 July 2004) and Dubenko v. Ukraine (no. 74221/01, §§ 21-23, 11 January 2005).
I. ADMISSIBILITY OF THE APPLICANT'S COMPLAINTS
A. The applicant's complaints about the enforcement proceedings under Article 2 § 1 of the Convention
27. The applicant complains that his right to life was violated by the non-enforcement of the judgments in his favour. He invokes Article 2 § 1 of the Convention, which provides:
"Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law."
28. However, the Court recalls its case-law to the effect that neither Article 2 nor any other provision of the Convention can be interpreted as conferring on an individual a right to enjoy any given standard of living (Wasilewski v. Poland, no. 32734/96, 20.4.1999). Moreover, the applicant has not shown that he suffers such destitution as to put his life at risk.
29. It follows that this complaint is incompatible ratione materiae with the provisions of the Convention and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.
B. Complaints about the applicant's eviction
30. The applicant also complains about his eviction from the dormitory room which he occupied. He does not refer to any provision of the Convention.
31. However, the Court finds that the applicant has not raised this complaint before any domestic court. The applicant has not, therefore, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention, exhausted the remedies available under domestic law. It follows that this complaint must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention.
C. Complaints about the inability to recover savings
32. The applicant complains about his alleged inability to recover his indexed deposits with the State Savings Bank of Ukraine, their alleged disappearance and as a result refusal of the domestic courts to award their recovery. He alleges, in substance, a violation of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention, which provides as follows:
"Every natural or legal person is entitled to the peaceful enjoyment of his possessions. No one shall be deprived of his possessions except in the public interest and subject to the conditions provided for by law and by the general principles of international law.
The preceding provisions shall not, however, in any way impair the right of a State to enforce such laws as it deems necessary to control the use of property in accordance with the general interest or to secure the payment of taxes or other contributions or penalties."
33. The Court recalls that it has previously held that the recovery of indexed deposits is not a matter protected by the Protocol and, accordingly, was outside the Court's competence ratione materiae (see Gayduk and Others v. Ukraine (dec.), no. 45526/99, decision of 2 July 2002). The Court finds no reason to distinguish the present case from the previous decision. It follows that this aspect of the complaint is incompatible ratione materiae with the provisions of the Convention within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 and must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 § 4.
34. In so far as the applicant alleges that his deposits disappeared altogether, the Court finds no evidence whatsoever in the case-file to substantiate that claim. It follows that this aspect of the complaint must be rejected as being manifestly ill-founded, pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention.
D. The Government's preliminary objections as to the applicant's victim status and exhaustion of domestic remedies in relation to enforcement of the judgment (Article 6 § 1)
35. The Government contend that the applicant may no longer claim to be a victim of a violation of the Convention, as understood by Article 34, because all the judgments in his case have been enforced. Moreover, the applicant made insufficient use of the possibilities to sue the Bailiffs' Service for the delays in execution, and therefore did not exhaust domestic remedies, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention.
36. The applicant contested these arguments.
37. The Court recalls that similar issues have been examined and dismissed in previous cases (see Voytenko v. Ukraine, no. 18966/02, judgment of 29 June 2004, § 35; Shmalko v. Ukraine, no. 60750/00, judgment of 20 July 2004, § 34). It finds no reason to reach a different conclusion in the present case. Accordingly, it dismisses the Government's preliminary objections.
38. The Court considers, in the light of the parties' submissions, that the applicant's complaints under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention raise serious issues of fact and law under the Convention, the determination of which requires an examination of the merits. In conclusion, it finds no grounds for declaring this complaint inadmissible.
II. AS TO THE ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 6 § 1 OF THE CONVENTION
39. The Court recalls that Article 6 § 1 secures the right to the enforcement of a final judgment given by a court without undue delay (see the aforementioned Shmalko judgment). The Court notes that a delay in the execution of a judgment may not be such as to impair the essence of the right protected under Article 6 § 1 (see Immobiliare Saffi v. Italy [GC], no. 22774/93, § 74, ECHR 1999-V). In the instant case, the applicant should not have been prevented from benefiting from the decisions given in his favour, which was of major importance to him in view of his disability, on the ground of the State's alleged financial difficulties.
40. The Court notes that there were three judgments given in the applicant's favour that remained unenforced for a lengthy period of time (from two to four years). The judgment of the Voroshylovsky District Court of Donetsk of 1 July 1999 and the judgments of 16 May and 27 June 2001 of the Kuybyshevsky District Court remained partially unenforced until 16 July 2003 when the full amount of the sums due was paid to the applicant. It also notes, notwithstanding the fact that the debts were paid to the applicant in instalments, that a substantial amount of arrears was fully paid to the applicant only after the communication of the application to the respondent Government.
41. The Court considers therefore that by failing for over four years (as regards the judgment of 1 July 1999, terminated on 16 July 2003 only) and for more than two years (as regards the judgments of 16 May and 27 June 2001, enforced on 16 July 2003 only) to comply with these judgments, and by delaying the payment to the applicant of much needed disablement benefits, the authorities deprived the provisions of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention of much of their useful effect.
42. There has, accordingly, been a violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention.
III. APPLICATION OF ARTICLE 41 OF THE CONVENTION
43. Article 41 of the Convention provides:
"If the Court finds that there has been a violation of the Convention or the Protocols thereto, and if the internal law of the High Contracting Party concerned allows only partial reparation to be made, the Court shall, if necessary, afford just satisfaction to the injured party."
A. Damage and costs and expenses
44. The applicant, who was not legally represented before the Court, originally claimed pecuniary damage relating to the amounts awarded to him by the domestic court judgments and non-pecuniary damage in the amount of UAH 100,000 (EUR 18,300).
45. The Government contested the applicant's claims. They alleged that they were unsubstantiated and excessive.
46. The Court considers that the sum claimed by the applicant is excessive. Making its assessment on an equitable basis, as required by Article 41 of the Convention, the Court awards the applicant the global sum of EUR 2,000 in respect of all his claims and expenses in pursuing his application before the Court.
B. Default interest
47. The Court considers it appropriate that the default interest should be based on the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank, to which should be added three percentage points.
FOR THESE REASONS, THE COURT UNANIMOUSLY
1. Declares the applicant's complaint under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention admissible and the remainder of the application inadmissible;
2. Holds that there has been a violation of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention;
3. Holds
(a) that the respondent State is to pay the applicant, within three months from the date on which the judgment becomes final according to Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, the global sum of EUR 2,000 (two thousand euros), plus any tax that may be chargeable;
(b) that this amount shall be converted into the national currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable at the date of settlement;
(c) that from the expiry of the above-mentioned three months until settlement simple interest shall be payable on the above amounts at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points;
4. Dismisses the remainder of the applicant's claim for just satisfaction.
Done in English, and notified in writing on 19 April 2005, pursuant to Rule 77 §§ 2 and 3 of the Rules of Court.

Icefall: Adventures at the Wild Edges of Our Dangerous, Changing Planet
Author(s): All, John
Copyright: 2017, US
Specifications: 1st, 8vo, pp.viii, 224, 16 color photos, black cloth
Condition: dj corners lightly bumped else dj & cloth new
In May 2014, mountaineer and professor of geography John All plunged into a crevasse on Himlung (23,430', 2014), a fall that all but killed him. He recorded a series of dramatic videos as he struggled to climb seven stories back up to the surface with a severely dislocated shoulder, internal bleeding, a battered face covered in blood, and fifteen broken bones--including six cracked vertebrae. The videos became a viral sensation, an urgent and gripping dispatch from one of the least-known extremes of the planet.
Yet this climb for his life is only the latest of All's adventures in some of Earth's most hostile climates. He has also been chased by a wild hyena, scaled Everest (2010, 2014), and narrowly missed being hit by an avalanche, all in pursuit of his true calling: the study of how we can master the challenge of our world's changing climate. Icefall is a thrilling adventure story and a report from the extremes of the planet, taking you to collapsing Andean glaciers, hidden jungles in Honduras, and the highest points on Earth. In this gripping account, our changing climate is not a matter of politics; it's a matter of life and death and the human will to survive and thrive in the face of it.

20. Arni's On 96th St.
As long as i been custmer.I can complain,food has been tremendsly great.
This Shadeland location has been closed for approximately 10 years. Building is torn down.
It was the most horrible experience. The drive-thru line took 20 to 30 minutes. Cars left the the drive-thru upset because of the wait times. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and it was chewy. The french fries were cold. I will never go back.
Horrible service and horrible staffed that will give you attitude when you ask for condiments. They rather talk to each other then take a customers order and roll their eyes when you finally get their attention.
The staff was very rude . Couldn't even speak to you when you place a order. Very over priced for the quality of food served. My family and I will not be back.
This restaurant is also always busy, but they keep the lines moving and the employees seem happy to serve. The traffic cop helps in getting you out so you can be on your merry way. I took my 90+ yr. old dad here for lunch recently and the employees were very helpful when I needed help with our tray and getting Dad to a table. Seems like a good restaurant to me.
This location no longer exists. You would think if they wanted a customer clientele they would update their information this is not the only location that is closed and not been updated as such. If I could give zero stars I would.
Worst Arbys ever! Went through the drive through and set for 10 min and no one would even take my order. I wouldn't go there if it was the only place on earth to eat. Laziest staff I have ever encountered anywhere.

Ken Hunts Food: Dean & Deluca @ Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
Dean & Deluca @ Pavilion, Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur.
Opened in late August 2018, Dean & Deluca, a Thai-owned New York deli-cafe has made its debut in the city's premium shopping mall- Pavilion in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The brand is known to offer premium quality gourmet food and has presence in many international markets. The outlet in Pavilion is the brand's first outlet in Malaysia. It occupies a corner lot on Level 3 of the mall, offering large, comfortable space to diners. Step in the place and you will be welcomed by rows of Dean & Deluca merchandises, followed by eye-pleasing bakery items at the display fridge (next to the order counter). It is very likely that you will be approached by a friendly server by then, whom will offer you a menu comprises of their signature delights and special offerings. Though pretty much the standard cafe fare but you will notice the items are on the finer sides (and the prices too). Superior food quality and definitely worth your time checking it out.
An upgraded version of Egg Benedict, Dean & Deluca's Zaatar Lamb Egg Benedict outclassed most Egg Bens in town. First, their English Muffin was a perfect match in this manner; unlike ordinary English Muffin, their version seemed to be chewier and less-prone to sogginess even being submerged in Hollandaise sauce and poached Egg for a while. The Hollandaise sauce was light and easy on the palate but still carrying the essential creaminess and discernible acidity. The pulled Lamb was a nice addition, the slight gamey flavor of the Lamb somehow complemented the entire dish, offering a meatier texture and dimension to the dish. It was a pity that the poached Egg was slightly overcooked though. Equally good was the Almond Croissant... with a delightful sweetness and addictive buttery-flaky texture to it. But it was not perfect, the shattering crispiness was missing; it would be perfect otherwise. We enjoyed the meal with a serving of thick, creamy-rich Avocado Smoothie.
Address: C3.10.02, Level 3, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, 168, Jalan Bukit Bintang, 55100, Kuala Lumpur.
Business Hours: 9 am to 12 am. Opens Daily.

Office XP gets mixed reception from feds
By Dan Caterinicchia, Dan Caterinicchia
"Casting a wide .Net"
Microsoft Corp. launched its Office XP product last week in separate events all over the country, including one at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C., that drew more than 5,000 people.
Despite the hype, many federal customers say they're in no rush to upgrade.
The U.S. Air Force and one intelligence agency are already using Office XP, but other agencies, such as the General Accounting Office, are taking a "wait-and-see" approach.
To upgrade an existing Office suite to the basic version of Office XP will cost $239, or $479 to install a new product. But under Microsoft's new Software Assurance program that goes into effect Oct. 1, if an organization requires a Microsoft Premier Support contract or renews it, it must have all of its installed base of server and desktop licenses enrolled in the program or face higher prices.
Office XP, like Office 2000, includes Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access database, Outlook personal information manager and other PC products. Microsoft will continue to support Office 2000, but will no longer sell new licenses.
Office XP also offers new features that government users should find particularly beneficial, said Megan McKenna, a technology specialist at Microsoft Federal.
For example, smart tags will appear on the screen while users work and offer AutoCorrect, AutoFormat and Paste options.
"The Air Force is doing smart tag development today," McKenna said; one tag looks up definitions for acronyms, for example. And Lockheed Martin Corp. has two government customers interested in its smart tags, she said.
Microsoft has also increased the default security and offers a custom installation wizard to help customers set up or modify settings on the software. Office XP has new anti-virus tools as well, to help control team security settings to prevent virus attacks and avoid downtime, McKenna said.
SharePoint Team Services, meanwhile, is designed to make it easier for Office XP users to share information between applications. The software helps users without technical expertise set up a Web site to post, share or discuss information.
"So many of our government customers are so huge and have so many different teams that no single Web site is enough — each team needs their own," McKenna said, and that is especially useful for geographically dispersed groups.
Historically, users have skipped subsequent versions of technologies because the new features just aren't worth the money, said Michael Silver, a research director at Gartner Inc. "Office XP is not a big change from that," he said. "There are new features, but there's a tough time figuring out why you're spending the money to upgrade."
Still, Silver said, some agencies may be compelled to buy licenses before the October deadline to avoid spending more money later on and to have plenty of time to test the software.
The Energy Department is one of them. "As of right now, [we will] purchase XP licenses for new equipment, but deploy [Office 2000 Professional] with new PCs until we've had the opportunity to test it out," said Howard Landon, acting chief information officer at Energy. "Once we feel comfortable, we will deploy XP...under the licenses already purchased." GAO will stick with the Office 2000 suite because "the timing just wasn't right," said Tony Cicco, GAO's CIO.
"We've made it a policy, especially with Microsoft software, not to take the release right out of the box," he said. "We will look at it once it's out and stable."
John Linn, Microsoft business development manager for GTSI Corp., said he'd heard similar reasoning from some of their government customers who are "holding off until they make the first patch."
The Customs Service plans to stick with its existing suite of Microsoft products. And the Navy and Marine Corps are moving users to Windows 2000 as part of the $6.9 billion Navy Marine Corps Intranet program. n Diane Frank, Bill Murray and Judi Hasson contributed to this article.
What's new in Office XP
Microsoft Corp.'s Office XP features more than 60 new tools that work with all the applications in the software suite. A brief look at five of them:
* Document/Application Recovery — Offers a safety net of sorts, allowing users to save their work when an application crashes.
* Digital Signatures — Enables users to digitally sign entire documents and determine if those documents have been altered.
* Speech Recognition — Enables most Office applications to respond to verbal commands.
* Handwriting Recognition — Accepts handwritten notes from handheld devices into Office applications.
* Task Panes — Offers users quick access to commands and other application information.
