Staff Profiles (For the ARGOS 1 to ARGOS 2.2 Project - 2003 - 2012)
Jon Manhire
Jon is the Programme Leader for ARGOS.
Jons' expertise lies in business and strategic planning for the primary production industry - both agriculture and horticulture - for producers, businesses and sectors. He also performs market and industry analyses and has specific knowledge of environmental integrity systems - not only organic and sustainable markets but conventional production systems also. Jon also designs and implements primary sector research and development projects. He has undertaken international consultancy work in South Africa, South America, China, Europe and the Pacific Islands, and has experience in developing effective solutions for both large and small enterprises.
Professor Hugh Campbell
Hugh is an Agricultural Sociologist with long-standing research interests in the changing lives of farm households in New Zealand. His Ph.D research examined the impacts of Rogernomics on farms in the 1980s. His interest in sustainable agriculture began in 1994 and followed the fortunes of the Watties organics initiative in Canterbury. This initial case study of organic production by corporate New Zealand grew into a FRST funded programme called Greening Food: Social and Industry Dynamics which operated out of the University of Otago and the AERU at Lincoln University (working primarily with John Fairweather).
Greening Food expanded slowly over an eight year period, undertaking case studies of the kiwifruit, pipfruit, wine and honey industries. It also conducted regional case studies of organics in Canterbury, Nelson, Golden Bay, Gisborne and Bay of Plenty. The success of this FRST programme lead to the establishment of the Centre for the Study of Agriculture, Food and Environment (CSAFE) at the University of Otago, and formed the basis from which the ARGOS programme was developed.
Hugh brings to ARGOS his experience as the Programme Leader of a research programme examining the socio-economic dynamics of sustainable agriculture in New Zealand. He is also academically interested in a range of social dynamics around sustainable agriculture: household dynamics, knowledge and skills development, relationships between sustainable agriculture and industry, and global politics around trade in sustainable agriculture. Hugh oversees the Academic Management of ARGOS and is a co-leader of the "social" Objective with Associate Professor John Fairweather.
Professor John Fairweather
John Fairweather likes to solve problems and do research well. His research usually involves working with sociological theory and methods to improving our understanding of New Zealand society, and in applied sociology to describe and monitor contemporary changes in farming, rural society and other aspects of contemporary society. His research role typically is to provide reports or documents that contribute to the needs of groups or organisations such as government ministries, businesses or non-profit groups. He is well rounded in his education with degrees in agricultural science and sociology, and has considerable experience with on-farm research. Current research includes public perceptions of biotechnology and documenting the phenomenon of smallholdings. Over the last 20 years his full-time research includes the topics of land use change and socio- economic consequences, farmer surveys and rural monitoring, studies of rural communities, farmer decision making and innovation, and general innovation and change. John is co-leader of the "social" Objective in ARGOS with Associate Professor Hugh Campbell. John also sees his role in ARGOS as facilitating good quality research that can be used by many to improve sustainability of primary production, and by making a contribution to the social science component of the programme. To balance his academic activities John likes to do practical forestry work on his 20 hectare woodlot specialising in alternative species, and building and making things that work well.
Professor Caroline Saunders
Caroline has 20 years research expertise in the UK and New Zealand. She has over 100 publications specialising in agri-environmental issues and policy. Her research has focused on evaluating the link between economics and the environment. Her current research also specialises in evaluating trade and the environment, including an assessment of international market policies and their impact on the development of the NZ agricultural export sector. She has a track record in researching impacts of novel technologies on the agricultural sector, including the development of organic and GM food. She has undertaken research for a wide range of private and public bodies both here and overseas. These include the EU commission, MAF, MFAT, Treasury, MfE and various producer groups. She leads the "economics" Objective of the ARGOS Programme.
Professor Henrik Moller
Henrik leads the "environmental sustainability" Objective of the ARGOS project. He has over 25 years of experience studying the ecology and control of introduced species in New Zealand, sustainable harvest management and conservation of threatened species. Henrik teaches wildlife management part time at the University of Otago and works as an ecological consultant for ARGOS for the remaining time. Work on introduced wasps and their biocontrol led on to research on cats, ferrets, stoats, rabbit and rat impacts on native biodiversity and how best to control them. Henrik's research highlighted the importance of ferrets as wild animal vectors of bovine tuberculosis in farming landscapes. Another study assessed the conservation value of beekeeping and whether honey bees sometimes promote weed problems. Henrik was part of a MAF team that assessed gaps in knowledge and research priorities to promote more environmentally friendly farming and forestry in New Zealand. He is a passionate advocate of conservation through sustainable use and farmer-led approaches to simultaneous capturing of the best economic, social and environmental outcomes for farmers and their communities.
Dr. John Reid
Tena koutou. John's iwi is Ngati Pikiao. He is the contracted leader for Ngai Tahu Development Corporation's He Whenua Whakatipu research objective. He is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Lincoln University, with a resource management honours degree in community forestry. He has a trade in landscape construction and has operated his own business in this industry. He has also worked as a farmer.
For the past three years John has undertaken action research and development, through his Ph.D., with flax-roots Maori communities adopting organic farming methods in Taitokerau and Tairawhiti. His research has primarily focused on the interaction between indigenous people and modern technology. In particular he has focused on distinguishing the different modes of indigenous development that arise when relationships with modern technology differ.
John is now contracted by Ngai Tahu Development Corporation to investigate how the Ngai Tahu whanui can develop sustainable development pathways for their land-holdings. He feels that it is an honour for him to be leading this work.
Associate Professor David Norton
David Norton is an Associate Professor at the University of Canterbury and a subcontractor within the environment objective. His research interests include conservation biology (especially fragmentation and restoration ecology, significance assessment and threatened plant conservation) and integrated land management (especially involving biodiversity in agricultural and plantation forest systems). His current research focuses on integrating pastoral and biodiversity values in the South Island high country and includes projects looking at integrated management planning, habitat use by merino sheep, photomonitoring as a management tool, effects of different management actions on biodiversity. He is also involved in research projects assessing the affects of subsidence resulting from underground coal-mining on podocarp-beech forest, mine-site restoration, and ecology, conservation and restoration of threatened plant species. David is a Fellow of the Linnean Society.
Dave Lucock
Dave is the Field Research Manager for Sheep and Cattle. He is now based in Christchurch after 20 years of sheep, cattle and dairy farming. His role in the ARGOS Programme is to coordinate the 'on the farm' research, facilitate discussion groups and manage the relationships between farmers, other stakeholders and the research team.
He enjoyed his farming career and now wants to help enhance the agricultural industry, which he firmly believes this research programme will do.
Dr. Jayson Benge
Jayson is the Field Research Manager for kiwifruit. His main responsibilities are to identify and recruit suitable orchards and to co-ordinate and assist in the research that will be carried out on those orchards. While ARGOS brings together a number of specialist researchers, Jayson will be the face for the kiwifruit industry.
Jayson is a graduate of Massey University and has a Horticulture degree and a Ph.D. in Plant Science (kiwifruit production). Recently, Jayson has worked within Zespri Innovation where he gained a valuable insight into the kiwifruit industry. Jayson brings to ARGOS a good grounding in kiwifruit production issues and a strong science background.
Dr. Lesley Hunt
Lesley has had what could be called a varied career! It started with lecturing in statistics for three years in the Maths Department at Otago University after graduation with a B.Sc.(Hons) in mathematics in 1968. Then she had a year teaching in schools in London, following the typical Kiwi OE pattern, then eight years in Te Kuiti, starting a family and doing some maths and physics teaching. In 1981 she moved to Christchurch where she has been ever since. In this time she has lectured a course in research methods to social work students at the University of Canterbury for twelve years, learned the piano and then become a piano teacher, spent seven years as a part-time biometrician with AgResearch at Lincoln, trained as a secondary teacher at the Christchurch College of Education, and recently completed a PhD at Lincoln University. The PhD was an organisational ethnography which studied why employees doing science in a particular Crown Research Institute were unhappy at work and what they did about it. It was titled 'Compliance at work: protecting identity and science practice under corporatisation'. She now works as a researcher with the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit at Lincoln University, hence her association with the ARGOS programme. With her skills and experience she can bring to the fore the views of farmers and growers on sustainability and how these people working on conventional and organic farming systems make meaning of their work.
Dr. Chris Rosin
Chris is a member of the social objective team and, together with Lesley and Carmen, has the responsibility of interviewing farmer and grower participants in ARGOS . He comes to the project as a geographer with research experience in both social and environmental aspects of agriculture and sustainable production. His Ph.D. thesis ( University of Wisconsin-Madison , 2004) examined the response of small-scale yerba mate producers in Brazil and Paraguay to the new economic demands of regional free trade in MERCOSUR. The varied experiences and interpretations of producers with free markets provided the principal focus of the thesis. In earlier research, he has worked with both farmers and agriculture extension agents in Costa Rica, the United States, and Germany. He also has personal experience in extension and development activities stemming from 2+ years of service with the US Peace Corps in Paraguay. Chris expects to learn a great deal about agricultural production in New Zealand and looks forward to contributing to discussion about and promotion of sustainability in the sector.
Peter is a soil scientist with over 25 years experience in analytical and applied research. He began his own company in 2004 (LRS -Land Research Services Ltd.) managing research programmes in soils and water for a range of clients including CRI's, Universities, regional councils and private companies.
Current themes include sustainability of NZ farming systems, farm runoff and water quality, improving water quality of dairy effluent, nitrification inhibitor field trials and development of new soil test procedures. He has written and presented a number of papers on the above subjects in conference proceedings and has published on a number of topics in international and national journals. Peter is based in the Soil and Physical Sciences Group, Lincoln University.
Andrew Barber
Andrew Barber's primary role in the ARGOS project is to examine resource use, and total energy and carbon indicators. The intention is that by using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach the ARGOS team will be able to develop interdisciplinary linkages by examining potential environmental impacts with actual impacts. Having graduated from Massey University he has been involved in engineering consultancy for over 10 years, initially with Agriculture NZ and now as director of AgriLINK NZ which is a member of The AgriBusiness Group. He has previously worked on energy analysis for the dairy industry, outdoor vegetable and arable industries, the greenhouse industry and the kiwifruit industry. Most of this work has been initiated by market demands, either actual or future perceptions, to account for energy use and carbon emissions and to provide quantifiable environmental indicators. Andrew was a co-author of the MFAT Food Miles report "Food Miles – Comparative Energy/Emissions Performance of New Zealand's Agricultural Industry" and co-author of the EECA Biodiesel report "Embodied Fossil Energy and Net Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Biodiesel made from New Zealand Tallow". Both these reports relied heavily upon ARGOS data. Andrew also manages the Franklin Sustainability Project which is a long running initiative by outdoor vegetable growers, primarily in response to soil erosion but which also encompasses a whole range of sustainability issues. This multi stakeholder project was the recipient of an MfE Green Ribbon Award in 2000.
Chris Parsonson-Ensor
Coming from a farming background Chris studied Environmental Management at Lincoln University. He went on to work with the intellectually disabled, teaching them how to grow organic vegetables while also working as produce distribution manager. After an extended stint travelling Chris returned to Canterbury and began work as a researcher at the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit. He is also currently doing a masters in environmental and agricultural economics. Chris' interests lie in sustainable farming, oat chaff and environmental systems, in particular the relationships between farming and the maintenance of natural systems.
Catriona MacLeod
Catriona MacLeod, an ecologist based at Landcare Research (Dunedin), came to New Zealand shortly after completing her training in Scotland. Although only intending to stay for a year, she is still here ten years later! While her research covers a wide range of topics, a primary focus has been the impact of land management practices on farmland bird populations. In particular, Catriona has worked closely with the Foundation for Arable Research, using pest bird ecology to inform damage control strategies. Before officially joining ARGOS as Science Leader for the environment team in 2009, Catriona was a long-standing collaborator, co-authoring several papers with ARGOS researchers in international and national journals. By enhancing our understanding of the impact of agricultural practices on New Zealand's environment, Catriona hopes to better inform the debate on the costs and benefits of different management approaches.

If companies cannot pay tax then nor can they make profit, which means that every audit report ever issued is wrong
I gave evidence before the House of Lords last week on the Finance Bill 2013 and the General Anti-Abuse Rule in particular. A transcript is here.
Let's leave that particular issue aside for a moment and note instead that Bill Dodwell of Deloitte and the Chartered Institute of Tax made the claim:
There is one of the challenges: companies do not pay tax
This is one of the regular claims of those who love corporate tax dodging: if they can say companies don't pay tax then they can, of course, claim they can't dodge tax. It's a terribly convenient idea much beloved of the political right and the Oxford Centre for the non-Taxation of Business. The essence of the argument is that since companies are just a pile of legal contracts between people they don't really exist as such and only really people can pay tax for them.
Oddly the claim seems only to ever relate to tax paid. But let me re-present the argument, first like this:
Companies do not make profits
Isn't that obvious Bill? If companies can't pay tax then surely they can't make profits, can they? In which case all that reporting suggesting they do make profit is just wrong - and every single audit report Deloitte has ever signed off saying that accounts showing profits made are true and fair is also straightforwardly fraudulent since according to the argument that companies can't pay tax never once was the profit made by a company. I hope Dodwell now has the decency to say so.
Let's try another reformulation:
Because companies can't pay tax they should be taxed as if they're individuals under income tax rules at income tax rates on their worldwide income just like all other natural people
Now that, I think, works nicely. A UK company pays UK income tax rates now at standard tax rates of 50% and shortly to be 45% on their worldwide income wherever arising and whether remitted or not to the UK and let's stop all of this nonsense about territorial taxes, remittances, and so on for companies. Let's create a level playing field. That should give Bill Dodwell something to think about.
Alternatively he and others who claim companies can't pay tax might like trying to tell the truth, which is that they can, they do, and if they don't the burden is shifted onto others.
Andrew Dickie says:
January 29 2013 at 12:15 pm
I wonder how his American listeners squared this with this (outrageous tosh, in my view) Supreme Court judgement in Citizens United, which adjudged corporations to be "individuals" in the eyes of the law? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._Federal_Election_Commission
If companies are so to be considered, then of course they should taxed as per your reformulation, namely "Because companies can't pay tax they should be taxed as if they're individuals under income tax rules at income tax rates on their worldwide income just like all other natural people"
I suspect there will be a loud noise of scuttling amongst some of Dodwell's listeners, especially the American ones, as they seek to regroup, and, as in "Animal Farm" hastily repaint the slogan on the wall to fit in with their latest take, so that it reads "All individual are equal, but companies are more equal than others".
"A UK company pays UK income tax rates now at standard tax rates of 50% and shortly to be 45% on their worldwide income wherever arising and whether remitted or not to the UK and let's stop all of this nonsense about territorial taxes, remittances, and so on for companies. Let's create a level playing field."
This basically states that individuals pay the 'difference' between what they pay in tax in some foreign jurisdiction and what they would have had to pay here does it not?
Presumably only individuals who are domiciled here have to pay that? So would it be possible to get that additional tax from companies that carry out trade here but are not based here? Thanks.

The suggestion I made was ironic
If we take Starbucks Coffee Co. (UK) Ltd and the declared profit of £78.5million https://www.duedil.com/company/02959325/starbucks-coffee-company-uk-limited when then is the auditors or company accounts advising of their duty to pay Corporation Tax? https://www.gov.uk/audit-exemptions-for-private-limited-companies
Perhaps if Mr Dodwell believes that companies do not pay tax he could have a word with his counterparts at PwC who recently published a survey claiming that the tax paid by UK corporates had increased in recent times. PwC of course achieved this smoke and mirrors presentation by counting in VAT – which is of course a tax which is only collected by corporates and where most of the burden falls on individuals.
On the subject of "true and fair" profits being shown in accounts it is worth noting that it is now becoming increasingly common practice for tax advisers to try and steer the accounting profit (which is often the starting point for tax computations) towards the most beneficial tax position – with the approach being taken that most things are allowed unless they are specifically ruled against by an accounting standard. So rather than "truth and fairness" and broad principles being used to define how to account for the many items for which there is no specific acounting treatment – the gaps are filled by what the tax adviser wants – and woe betide the career prospects of any bright accountants who seeks to push a more principled approach. It is also a not too well kept secret that Mr Dodwell's Deloittes and Mr Moral Otty's E&Y have a rather more flexible approach in this regard than the other members of the Big 4 who still have some backbone left in their technical departments.

Distributions from companies should carry a true refundable tax credit equivalent to the amount of tax paid by the corporation. Ultimately this would mean that a distribution from a corporation that paid relatively little tax would be subject to more tax in the hands of the recipient, whilst a distribution from a corporation that paid tax at higher levels would be subject to less tax in the hands of the recipient.
The current system means that distributions by corporations that have paid little or no tax are treated as though they have been taxed at 20% and companies that have paid at the higher rates (now admittedly closer to 20% than ever) are treated as having paid the same.
I appreciate that this doesn't deal with companies failing to distribute at all, but distributions should come eventually and it would negate many of the benefits of avoiding tax at the corporate level. Where distributions are made to non-UK residents I see no particular problem with some form of withholding.

Suffragist Jewelry
Is the jewelry often labeled "Suffragist (Suffragette) Jewelry" simply indicative of the fashion of the period or was it symbolic of a cause women (and some men) fought for passionately? Certainly, a case can be made for both points of view. A variety of mass-produced wearable emblems emblazoned with the message of the Suffragist Movement as well as individually produced pins memorializing keystones of the cause were proudly worn by its supporters. At the same time, fine jewelry bearing the colors of one of the most active groups (Women's Social and Political Union – WSPU) was extremely popular, was this coincidence or subliminal support for the suffragists?

Undeniably the brooch designed by Emmeline Pankhurst's (founder of the WSPU) daughter Sylvia is an excellent example of the Suffragist genre. Her design encompasses the portcullis symbol of the House of Commons, a convict symbol and hanging chains together symbolizing the suffragists who had been incarcerated at Holloway prison. These brooches were handmade, relatively rare and look nothing like the Art Nouveau, Edwardian and Belle Epoque fine jewelry labeled with the Suffragist moniker. The collection, housed in the Museum of London, includes these tribute brooches along with more mass produced badges, sashes, scarves and other accessories that were worn as an external sign that one stood for women's right to vote.

There are advertisements in various suffrage newspapers from both commercial and arts and crafts sources promoting suffrage jewelry, much of which consisted of individually made-up items as opposed to mass-produced commercial pieces. The problem is that if such pieces were not advertised or somehow identified through other means, there is no way today to link them up directly with the suffrage cause.1

While some form of political lapel button had been available in the United States since the times of Washington's Presidency, in 1896 newly perfected celluloid buttons became feasible, allowing for a more colorful, yet still inexpensive, medium for these political mainstays. It was the suffragists who expanded the use of this format beyond simple candidate promotion to a wider arena – bolstering their cause. These buttons were not just simple souvenirs, but a valuable promotional item sold everywhere suffragists could be found. Millions of them were distributed and worn proudly throughout this long campaign for women's voting rights.2
Many of these items were sold to raise capital for the cause. There were also instances where, rather than buying jewelry and badges, women donated their jewelry and precious metal household items to the cause. Depending on which would bring greater value, they were either melted (to be sold for scrap) or sold "as is" on the secondary market.
Beginning in 1908 the WSPU emblazoned themselves with green, white and violet as their emblematic colors. Bedecking oneself in the banners and badges of the movement was essential to propelling the crusade forward and was encouraged at rallies and marches. Special medals were awarded to women who were jailed for their participation and these were displayed proudly dangling from green, white and violet ribbons, some with additional bars added for each action in which they participated. Which came first… the colors or the acronym?
Purple is the royal colour. It stands for the royal blood that flows in the veins of every suffragette, the instinct of freedom and dignity… white stands for purity in private and public life… green is the colour of hope. – Mrs. Pethick Lawrence WSPU treasurer.3
Womens_Political_Movement

Reaching back a century when Acrostic Jewelry was popular, it bears pondering whether the colors were chosen to have deeper (but not necessarily secret) meaning; Green (give), White (women), Violet (votes). Since the suffragists were not being secretive with regard to the emblems and badges they wore, in fact, just the opposite was true, it doesn't seem likely that they would wear jewelry that only covertly bore out their message. None-the-less, these colors proved to be a very popular combination in fine jewelry of the period.
Therefore, as Goring notes, "it is important to recognize that not all jewellery in purple, white and green was intended for the suffragettes."4 This is not to say that such generic pieces were not incorporated into a suffrage context, for women, who had been exhorted by the WSPU to "wear the colours," may very well have purchased such items because of the coincidental color combination and not because they had been expressly manufactured for the movement.5
Jewelers wishing to jump on the bandwagon of the latest fashion trend would have undoubtedly picked up on the popularity of the WSPU color scheme as well as the innate love of the purple and green color arrangement, and produced items that would practically guarantee a sale. One well-documented example is the renowned jewelry firm of Mappin & Webb who advertised suffragette jewelry in their 1909 Christmas Catalogue. And, according to Ivor Hughs:
In 1909, leading suffragists Emmeline Pankhurst and Louise Eates were both presented with specially commissioned pieces in purple, white and green.6
To provide further historical context for the use of the WSPU colors it is important to note that the latter half of the nineteenth century saw the discovery of demantoid garnet in the Ural Mountains of Russia. Its beautiful bright green color inspired a 'demantoid fever' that raged through Europe invigorating the Edwardian, Belle Epoque, and Art Nouveau design aesthetics. Another popular green gem of the period was peridot, which was said to be the favorite gemstone of King Edward VII, and was therefore incorporated in much of the jewelry produced in Great Britain from the mid-1800s until the onset of war.
Suffragette_Jewel_Link
Edwardian Amethyst, Peridot and Diamond Necklace. The Gemstone Combination Was a Favorite of Queen Alexandria and Peridot a Favorite of King Edward VII.
Color-Wheel
Red-purple (violet) and yellow-green appear directly opposite each other on the color wheel making them complementary colors. The opposition of these colors creates what is referred to as maximum contrast and maximum stability. Color theory would account for the popularity of mating peridot or demantoid with a purple gem – amethyst (or rhodolite garnet). The color combination is striking to the eye and the coupling was inevitable. Add pearls or diamonds or white enamel to this combination and you have the colors of the WSPU. Jewelry in this color combination was created long before the WSPU and is still popular today. Labeling EVERY Art Nouveau, Edwardian or Belle Epoque jewelry item in this color palette Suffragist jewelry is undoubtedly incorrect and any piece outside the years 1908 (WSPU declaring their colors) to 1914 (onset of war in Europe) absolutely incorrect.
All the buttons, badges, ribbons, stickpins, hat pins and handmade commemorative brooches and pendants that symbolized the Suffragist movement should certainly be considered "Suffragist Jewelry." They were worn with honor and pride, displaying their message to all who saw them. Certainly, some fine jewelry of that era also qualifies, whether created to be "Suffragist Jewelry" or just purchased with the intent to be worn as such. Unfortunately, it is probably impossible to definitively declare which specific items deserve the honorable title.

A Child Alone (Signed Foreword by Chris Yates)
BB (D J [Denys James] Watkins-Pitchford)
This collector's edition of 'A Child Alone' was privately published by River Reads, Torrington, Devon in December 2005 to commemorate the Centenary year of Denys Watkins-Pitchford {'BB'} who was born on the 25th July, 1905 and died 8th September 1990. This new book is a strictly limited edition of 100 copies, comprising 5 deluxe copies (all sold) and 95 copies fully bound in high-grade burgundy morocco leather, gilt-edged with a silk ribbon marker, raised bands. Each copy contains a facsimile of a 5 page introduction written by leading angling author/broadcaster, Chris Yates, who has personally signed each copy. Also contained in this special edition is a facsimile of a letter 'BB' wrote to his Wiltshire correspondent James Laverick. The letter relates to the time 'BB' and his family spent at Bratton and links very nicely in with Chris's introduction . Every season promised B.B. another kind of joy, but I think this season - spring (late spring to be precise) - was his favourite . & . overhead swoop half a dozen newly arrived swallows & this is the time when B.B. would remove a pane of glass in his studio window so that his pair of annual avian visitors could begin nest building somewhere above his easel. (This very special introduction to BB's evocatively written memoirs is entirely fitting, as BB wrote the introduction to Chris's highly-acclaimed first book Casting at the Sun). Also contained in this special edition is a print of an original watercolour of a purple emperor butterfly painted by Margaret Duncan, Devon-based botanical artist and RHS medallist. Also included and of significance to the enthusiast is a facsimile of BB's letter written to James Laverick on the 2nd July 1988. Published for the first time, an extract from which reads . I do not care for this racing time which makes the distant thunder of the final fall .. The book has a hand-numbered limitation page. Presented in a matching burgundy buckram slipcase with thumb-cuts, this special edition is for the discerning collector. (Also privately published by River Reads & printed on 25th July, 2005 (the anniversary of BB's birth) the Centenary edition of the 1967 edition of the 8th Duke of Northumberland's rare book with BB's illustrations entitled: The Shadow on the Moor. The price includes sending by special delivery - £395 + postage. Just 25 copies of this special edition have been personally signed by Ralph, 12th Duke of Northumberland, and are available at £395 plus postage.

does not support variable width tabs, the tab is usually 8 spaces and the code goes to the right very quickly.
>>> parameters order: at first 'i/o' parameters, then 'o' parameters and the last 'i' parameters.
>>> cases where the block is a single line.
>>> use the style that we will confirm as default TDE style.
>> You are correct about always using braces; this I want to see strictly enforced.
I also prefer to always use brackets, even for single line statements. We all agree on this, so good.

>> back to fix it.
>> them would this be a major problem?
> of indentation as the block, so is lost completely. Awful.
Funny enough, I also had to code for several years with twin indentation style.
that: at first I really disliked it, but after I got used to it, it was no longer a problem. Not my favorite style though.
I am flexible, so up to the BDFL's decision.
> whether astyle can be set to such a manner. See attachment.
> reformatting. This could lead to unnecessarily hard to read commits.
That was only a suggestion. I also thing it is awkward to work like that and just easier to adapt to a new style.
I did some tests and as long as most options are the same in the two styles, it seems to be quite ok.
(especially when adapting from another style, it is easy to inadvertently introduce some style mistakes).
Alternatively, we can have an automated beautify task running regularly on GIT (for example once a week).

Q: Webservice is not working in android-ice cream sandwich(api 15) I'm trying to invoke a public web service via KSOAP(2.5.8). But it is not able to get data from service in ice-cream sandwich versions. It work's fine in lower versions like 2.2 and 2.3.
Here's my code.

        }
        return result;
    }

Every time it returns false result in ice-cream sandwich . It doesn't show anything in error log. What should i change here. plz help me.

A: The problem is that ICS will not let you to do some networking stuff on activity. That means that you have to place your call to web service in a background task (AsyncTask). In this link you can see what to do: here

Q: writing explicit interface I1 c=new customer(); How can we use derived c=new parent as in main function. like in this it is written that I1 c=new customer.But I1 is derived how it can be written I1 c=new customer.I1 is derivative and customer is parent
using System;

interface I1
{
    void print();

}

interface I2
{
    void print();
}

public class customer : I1, I2
{
    public void print()
    {

        Console.WriteLine("USING PRINT OF INTERFACE i1");

    }
    void I2.print()
    {

        Console.WriteLine("USING PRINT OF INTERFACE i2");

    }

}

namespace explicitinterfaces
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            I1 c = new customer();
            c.print();

        }
    }
}

it should be customer c =new customer();.

A: As much I understood from your question that you are confused by this  I1 c = new customer(); line of code , it basically means you are creating a reference of interface I1 and assigning the object of class customer to this reference , now in simple words it means that from reference I1 you can call only the methods declare inside interface I1. one more thing to add - you use word derive and parent , these words are used when there is an inheritance between classes , in your code its interface so you don't inherit the interface but you implement the interface

Court extends Faryal Talpur's remand in money laundering case
Former president Asif Ali Zardari's sister, Faryal Talpur, was shifted to the Polyclinic Hospital after her blood sugar level shot up early Friday morning.
Talpur was taken to the hospital at 5am by the National Accountability Bureau. The anti-graft watchdog is likely to declare the hospital as sub-jail.
She was supposed to appear before the accountability court today (Friday) after the NAB prosecutor requested a two-day extension in her remand.
The NAB prosecutor has said that they couldn't present her in court as the doctors have advised Talpur to rest and refrain from travel.

Jerry White's Books
Mansions of Misery - A Biography of the Marshalsea Debtors' Prison
For Londoners of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, debt was a part of everyday life. But when your creditors lost their patience, you might be thrown into one of the capital's most notorious jails: the Marshalsea Debtors' Prison.
The Marshalsea became a byword for misery; in the words of one of its inmates, it was 'hell in epitome'. But the prison was also a microcosm of London life and it housed a colourful range of characters, including Charles Dickens's father. The experience haunted the writer, who went on to immortalise the Marshalsea in his work, most memorably in Little Dorrit.
In Mansions of Misery, acclaimed chronicler of the capital Jerry White introduces us to the Marshalsea's unfortunate prisoners – rich and poor; men and women; spongers, fraudsters and innocents. We get to know the trumpeter John Grano who wined and dined with the prison governor and continued to compose music whilst other prisoners were tortured and starved to death. We meet the bare-knuckle fighter known as the Bold Smuggler, who fell on hard times after being beaten by the Chelsea Snob. And then there's Joshua Reeve Lowe, who saved Queen Victoria from assassination in Hyde Park in 1820, but whose heroism couldn't save him from the Marshalsea.
Told through these extraordinary lives, Mansions of Misery gives us a fascinating and unforgettable cross-section of London life from the early 1700s to the 1840s.
"This colourful, exuberant, brilliantly detailed account by Jerry White is the latest in a long list of irreplaceable books about London, all written as if the author were personally remembering what he describes rather than excavating it." - Simon Callow, The Guardian, Book of the Week
"White's book, like his previous explorations of London's past, is searching and brimful of intriguing characters." - John Carey, The Sunday Times
"...learned and entertaining....Jerry White's absorbing book is a salutary reminder of the realities of debt." - Catherine Peters, Literary Review
"...marvellous history....In vivid prose White conjures a murky underworld of jailbird chancers and scuffers of one stripe or another.' - Ian Thomson, Evening Standard
"A factual portrait of desperate and roughish Londoners that is as startling as anything in Dickens. Its wealth of anecdote and sympathetic style, spiced with witty observations makes this the very opposite of a miserable read.' - George Goodwin, BBC History Magazine, Book of the Year
"riveting, richly researched account.... It is a scrupulous piece of scholarship, which makes imaginative and brilliantly illuminating use of its archival sources, not only in order to reconstruct the everyday lives of ordinary and not so ordinary debtors incarcerated in the Marshalsea, but in order to provide a vivid sense of "what it meant to be a Londoner between 1700 and 1842"" - Matthew Beaumont, The Times Literary Supplement
"It is primarily through the stories of the prisoners that White skilfully and meticulously recounts the prison's history" - Dave Hill, The Guardian online

"The story of the Marshalsea is also the story of ordinary Londoners and the telling of it results in a fascinating and beautifully written social history of the metropolis." - Mike Paterson, London Historians Blog
"...a splendid book providing a vivid image of the Hanoverian and early Victorian worlds, of their societies and, particularly, of a cross-section of people living on the edge" - Clive Emsley, BBC History Magazine

Zeppelin Nights - London in the First World War
Spear's Social History of the Year 2014
Guardian Best Book of the Year 2014
11pm, Tuesday 4 August 1914: with the declaration of war London becomes one of the greatest killing machines in human history. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers pass through the capital on their way to the front; wounded men are brought back to be treated in London's hospitals; and millions of shells are produced in its factories.
The war changes London life for ever. Women escape the drudgery of domestic service to work as munitionettes. Full employment puts money into the pockets of the London poor for the first time. Self-appointed moral guardians seize the chance to clamp down on drink, frivolous entertainment and licentious behaviour. As the war drags on, gloom often descends on the capital. And at night London is plunged into darkness for fear of German bombers and Zeppelins that continue to raid the city.
Yet despite daily casualty lists, food shortages and enemy bombing, Londoners are determined to get on with their lives and flock to cinemas and theatres, dance halls and shebeens, firmly resolved not to let Germans or puritans spoil their enjoyment.
Peopled with patriots and pacifists, clergymen and thieves, bluestockings and prostitutes, Jerry White's magnificent panorama reveals a struggling yet flourishing city.
"Zeppelin Nights is social history at its best… White creates a vivid picture of a city changed for ever by war" - The Times
"Jerry White's name on a title page is a guarantee of a lively, compassionate book full of striking incidents and memorable images… This is a fast-paced social history that never stumbles… A well-orchestrated polyphony of voices that brings history alive" - The Guardian
"White delivers in brilliant time-eclipsing detail an evolving and often deeply moving portrait of a city that became gradually squeezed to its limits" - Sunday Telegraph
"Jerry White is masterful at mixing hard facts and statistics with telling anecdotes" - Mail on Sunday
"It is an extraordinary tale – peopled by characters from all walks of the capital's life – and White, a prize-winning author of London's late-modern history, tells it with gusto, nuance and panache" - Evening Standard
"... a fascinating study.... White gives us many vivid moments, and builds up a convincing picture of what Londoners experienced and even felt during those momentous and sometimes even exhilarating four years that one contemporary described as simply 'wonderful'" - Sunday Times
"A superbly detailed account… Professor White has written a fine social history that portrays London as a teeming nerve centre of the Allied war effort" - Financial Times
"White provides an exceptionally well-researched account of wartime life in London, and makes significant contributions to a number of scholarly debates" - Journal of Family & Community History
London in the Eighteenth Century
By 1700, after half a century of relentless expansion, London had overtaken Paris to become the largest – if disputably the finest – city in Europe. A striking feature of this monster city in 1700 was its newness. In September 1666 some three-fifths of the City of London had been destroyed in the Great Fire. The losses were immense – 13,200 houses were burnt to the ground and so were most of the great public buildings, including St Paul's Cathedral.
London in the Eighteenth Century details the growth of the city and urban change; the make-up of the Londoner from home and abroad; ways of earning a living from banking to begging; the public pleasures of London and the crime and prostitution that accompanied them; the tightening sinews of power and discipline; and the hesitant beginnings of London democracy.
"White is one of our great chroniclers of London and this beautifully written, impeccably researched and incredibly generous book is a necessity for those of us who are not yet tired of life." - The Sunday Telegraph
"A dazzling and dramatic narrative... a must for anyone seriously interested in London's history" - Evening Standard
"White brings a diligence and contagious zest that may serve to discourage anyone from ever tackling the subject again" - Sunday Times
"A brilliant account of the bursting, overflowing city, with its glittering wealth and harrowing poverty... A work of undoubted academic authority... yet it is also a poetic evocation" - Financial Times

London: The Story of a Great City
No city can lay claim to a more dramatic history than London. Engulfed in calamities that seemed to mark its end - fire, plague, riot, civil war, mass bombing - from each crisis it has emerged stronger than ever. Its cultural life, and the long heritage that underpins it, has made London one of the most visited and best-loved places on Earth. It is this extraordinary story that "London: The Story of a Great City" encapsulates: the rise of the city from a remote outpost of Rome's northern empire; the growth of trade that sent money and ships to every corner of the earth; the roll-call of great Londoners from Shakespeare to Dickens, from Cromwell to Churchill; the strength of its institutions, Parliament prominent among them; the endurance of its people in the face of disaster and war; its innovations in enterprise and pleasure; its dark side in crime and mayhem; and, the positive example it gives the world as a tolerant city in the face of global movements of people.
For its lavish illustrations and memorabilia, this book draws on the fabulous resources of the Museum of London, one of the world's great city museums. The Museum's uniquely rich collections illuminates the whole of London's history through artefacts, documents, maps, paintings and photographs.
"White's narrative is lively and engaging, and the facsimiles are well produced....it's also great fun" - Sunday Telegraph
"The new history of the capital" - Time Out
"..relentlessly cheerful....The facsimiles are very finely reproduced" - Times Literary Supplement
London in the Twentieth Century
Winner of the Wolfson History Prize 2001
In 1901, London was the greatest city the world had seen in size, wealth and grandeur. Yet it was also a city where poverty and disease were rife. London in 2001 was no longer among the world's very largest cities, but was still one where vast wealth was displayed - alongside beggars sleeping rough. Such paradoxes are among the defining experiences of living in London in this extraordinary century, and in this colourful book Jerry White tells the story not just of London, but of Londoners too. He examines the changes on the worlds of work, transport, popular culture, politics and government and shows how London affects its inhabitants, shaping their lives and being shaped in turn by them.
Beautifully illustrated and with a wealth of detail, this is a definitive and highly readable history of London in the twentieth century
"A brilliant, acclaimed book which examines one of the world's greatest cities during one of the most tumultuous centuries"

London in the Nineteenth Century
London in the nineteenth century was the greatest city mankind had ever seen. Its wealth was dazzling. Its horrors shocked the world. As William Blake put it, London was 'a Human awful wonder of God'. It was a century of genius - of Blake, Thackeray and Mayhew, of Nash, Faraday, Disraeli and Dickens.
Jerry White's dazzling book is the first in a hundred years to explore London's history over the nineteenth century as a whole. We see the destruction of old London and the city's unparalleled suburban expansion. We see how London absorbed people from all over Britain, from Europe and the Empire. We see how Londoners worked and played. Most of all, we see how they tried to make sense of their city and make it a better place in which to live. Emerging clearly from this eloquent and richly-detailed overview is the London we see about us today.

"Meticulously researched and full of often engaging detail" - The Guardian
"Both exhaustive and detailed: both scholarly... and human... irresistible" - BBC History Magazine
"From a prize winning historian, a fresh and energetic look at a century of frenzied growth" - The Sunday Times
"A dazzling and dramatic narrative" – London Evening Standard
"Magisterial" – The Observer
Campbell Bunk: The Worst Street in North London Between the Wars
From the 1880s to World War II, Campbell Road, Finsbury Park (known as Campbell Bunk), had a notorious reputation for violence, for breeding thieves and prostitutes, and for an enthusiastic disregard for law and order. It was the object of reform by church, magistrates, local authorities and scientists, who left many traces of their attempts to improve what became known as "the worse street in North London". In all that record, the voice of Campbell Bunk itself was silent. Campbell Road was eventually cleared as a slum in the 1950s.
This title provides insight into the realities of life in a "slum" community, showing how it changed over a 90-year period. The author uses extensive oral history to describe in detail the years between the wars, revealing complex lessons between the new world opening up (especially for young women) in Campbell Bunk and the street's traditional culture of economic individualism, crime, street theatre and domestic violence.
"A more lucid and penetrating analysis of an urban slum would be hard to imagine….a most subtle and powerful evocation of life and labour." - The Guardian
"A brilliant and searching study….I do not believe that even Henry Mayhew could have done greater or more sympathetic justice to the memory ``Campbell Bunk'' and its inhabitants." - Victor Neuberg, British Book News
"This is an enthralling book which comes as near as possible to understanding an urban community in its environment. It deserves to become a classic" - Emrys Jones, Planning Perspectives
Rothschild Buildings: Life in an East-End Tenement Block, 1887-1920
Rothschild Buildings were typical of the 'model dwellings for the working classes' which were such an important part of the response to late-Victorian London's housing problem. They were built for poor but respectable Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, and the community which put down roots there was to be characteristic of the East End Jewish working class in its formative years. By talking to people who grew up in the Buildings in the 1890s and after, and using untapped documentary evidence from a wide range of public and private sources, the author re-creates the richly detailed life of that community and its relations with the economy and culture around it. The book shows how cramped and austere housing was made into homes; how the mechanism of class domination, of which the Buildings were part, was both accepted and fought against; how a close community was riven with constantly shifting tensions; and how that community co-existed in surprising ways with the East End casual poor of 'outcast London'. It provides unique and fascinating insights into immigrant and working-class life at the turn of the last century.
"Jerry White has written a moving and richly detailed history of those times and those people. They are recalled like a lost tribe, revealing the extraordinary courage of ordinary people in their day-to-day battle for existence." - Bernard Kops, The Guardian

How Georgia Tech is handling the shortage at offensive line
Adding injury to insult is not a good way for Tech's football team to follow-up their disastrous weekend. Yesterday's news regarding Jahaziel Lee's injury capped off a series of unfortunate events for the offensive line. It seems the last couple of weeks have seen a nightmare scenario unfold for that unit as there were injuries to several key players. Luckily, assistant head coach and offensive line coach Brent Key seems to have had a strategy in place for such a series of events. Playing musical chairs with his offensive linemen, Key hopes to fill the holes in the depth chart. This all makes sense, but I imagine there will be a learning curve. This bye-week couldn't have come at a more appropriate time.
