Armenian Composers: Art Songs and Piano Music

Composer: Ramanos Melikian
Artists: Mariam Sarkissian (mezzo-soprano), Artur Avanesov (piano)
Although Aram Khachaturian may be one of Armenia's most famous composers, and certainly the best known of the 20th century, the vast wealth of compositional talent from that country by no means stops with him. This unusual and engrossing release showcases a selection of highly diverse songs by three of his compatriots. Beginning with Romanos Melikian's Emerald Songs, with their Ravel-like harmonies and colourful modality, it also features the transgressive composer Tigran Mansurian, whose alternative style took inspiration from pop music of the 1960s as well as classical postmodern genres. Moving right through to the present day, the release concludes with works by Artur Avanesov, a young Armenian born in Russia. Keen to avoid stylistic unity, the Feux follets, a work still in progress, comprise a selection of songs with no thread to pull them together, the emphasis – according to the composer – being placed on a collective 'creative past'.
The multi-talented Avanesov is the pianist as well as one of the featured composers on this release. Together with mezzo soprano Mariam Sarkissian, a highly acclaimed Russian singer based in France, the duo have carefully selected an enchanting and compelling assortment of songs, giving the listener a fascinating insight into Armenia's rich cultural tapestry.
This year's commemoration of the Armenian Genocide has drawn attention to the rich cultural heritage of this "hidden" country, with its unique language, script and folklore.
This new recording presents three Armenian composers of three generations.
The song cycle "Emerald Songs" by Romanos Melikyan is written on words by 8 contemporary Armenian poets, in a spicy Ravelian language inspired by Armenian folk music. Mansuryan is of the same generation and blood group of Schnittke, Gubaidulina, Pärt and Kancheli. Young Avanesov's piano cycle "Feux follets" is in postmodern style, free and associative.
Sung with great intensity and feeling for the idiom by Armenian mezzo soprano Mariam Sarkissian, who recently received an "Orphée d'or" for her CD of vocal works by Tchaikovsky and Cui.

Khachaturian - Masquerade Suite - Waltz
Arno Babadjanyan - Elegie In Memory of Khachaturian
Arno Babajanian (Armenian: Առնո Բաբաջանյան) (January 22, 1921 – November 11, 1983) was an Armenian composer and pianist during the Soviet era.
Elegie for piano In Memory of Aram Khachaturian
A. Nersissian, piano
Babajanian was born in Yerevan, Armenia. By age 5, his extraordinary musical talent was clearly apparent, and the composer Aram Khachaturian suggested that the boy be given proper music training. Two years later, in 1928 at the age of 7, Babajanian entered the Yerevan State Musical Conservatory. In 1938, he continued his studies in Moscow with Vissarion Shebalin. He later returned to Yerevan, where from 1950–1956 he taught at the conservatory. It was during this period (1952) that he wrote the Piano Trio in f# sharp minor. It received immediate acclaim and was regarded as a masterpiece from the time of its premiere. Subsequently, he undertook concert tours throughout the Soviet Union and Europe. In 1971, he was named a People's Artist of the Soviet Union. As a composer, Babajanian was active in most genres and even wrote many popular songs in collaboration with the leading poets such as Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Robert Rozhdestvensky among others. Much of Babajanian's music is rooted in Armenian folk music and folklore. But generally, the way in which he uses Armenian folk music is in the virtuosic style of Rachmaninov and Khachaturian. His later works were influenced by Prokofiev and Bartók. Praised by Dmitri Shostakovich as a brilliant piano teacher, Babajanian was also a noted pianist and often performed his own works in concerts.

Art & Movie by Josef-Stefan Kindler, K&K Verlagsanstalt,
The Geghard Ensemble was founded in 2001 by soloist and conductor Anahit Papayan. This female ensemble consists of eight singers. The artistic director is Mher Navoyan, Doctor of Science (Arts), medievalist-musicologist, professor of Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas. Besides the Divine Liturgies sung each Sunday in St. Geghard Monastery (IV-XIII c.), the ensemble has also wide concert activities. The main aim of the ensemble is to present Armenian sacred and folk choral music in Armenia and abroad. The concerts are often accompanied by the lectures on Armenian music by the artistic director Mher Navoyan. The program of Geghard vocal ensemble includes Armenian medieval monodies from the 5th to the 15th centuries in solo and choral performances, choral arrangements of Armenian sacred and folk songs by Armenian classical and contemporary composers, works of Armenian contemporary composers and works of European classical and contemporary composers.
According to the tradition St. Geghard Monastery in Armenia, one of the ancient spiritual centers of Armenia, was founded at the beginning of the IV century by St. Gregory the Illuminator, the first catholicos of the Armenian apostolic church. The monastery flourished and prospered in the XII-XIII centuries, especially under the patronage of the noble families Zakarian and Proshian. Ot is famous for the rock hewn churches built at that period. The reason for the naming the monastery Geghard comes from the fact that the holy lance (Arm. Geghard), one of the reliques of the Armenian Church, has been preserved there for long time. It was the lance with which the Roman soldier pierced the Crucified Christ. It was Apostle St. Thaddeus, who brought the holy lance to Armenia in the I century. Now it is preserved in the museum of the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin. As early as in the middle ages St. Geghard Monastery was famous for its musical traditions. In the VIII century Grigor Ayrivanetsi, a great musician, was mentioned in the history of the Monastery. In XIII century Mekhitar Ayrivanetsi, a medieval famous author and great musician, lived there. Even during the Soviet era the monastery had choirs. In 2002 was established a partnership between the two UNESCO world cultural Heritage sites St. Geghard Monastery and historical Lorsch Abbey in Germany. Since the year 2000 the St. Geghard Monastery is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

7/8 - Time Report Band - Armenian Jazz
Composed by Khachik Sahakyan of Time Report Band: Arman Jalalyan (Drums), Armen Hyusnunts (Saxophone ), Vardan Arakelyan (Bass), Khachik Sahakyan (Keyboards), Vardan Grigoryan (Duduk, Zurna), Edo Harutyunyan (Percussions)
Time Report Band, perhaps, is the only jazz ensemble in the present Armenia, playing ethnic jazz. Officially the ensemble was founded in 1996. The present personnel was assembled step by step. Khachik Sahakyan (keyboards) and Armen Hyusnunts (saxes) can be considered the founders of the group Their first duo collaborative work, - Songs Without Words -1996, was recorded and released in the USA. The album presents a number of compositions by modern Armenian composers, arranged and played in cross-over, pop-jazz and light instrumental. In 1995 the idea came to these two musicians to form a group, which would perform the original jazz compositions of the group participants. Drummer Alexander Sash Grigoryan, percussionist Eduard Harutyunyan and bass player Vardan Arakelyan joined the duo. In the beginning the group performed under the name Khachik Sahakyan Quartet, then, in a year, it was transformed into Time Report Band. Finally the style of the music they preferred to play could be defined as ethnic jazz. Harmonically colorful original compositions created by the members of the group with evident folk ground and the brilliant personal technique had put the Time Report at the first place on the modern Armenian jazz scene. In 2002 Arman Jalalyan has joined the group as a drummer. After two years a famous duduk player Vardan Grigoryan joined the band.

Aram Khachaturian - Dance for violin and piano
Aram Il'yich Khachaturian (6 June 1903 – 1 May 1978) was a Soviet Armenian composer and conductor. He is considered one of the leading Soviet composers.
Born and raised in Tbilisi, the multicultural capital of Georgia, Khachaturian moved to Moscow in 1921 following the Sovietization of the Caucasus. Without prior music training, he enrolled in the Gnessin Musical Institute, subsequently studying at the Moscow Conservatory in the class of Nikolai Myaskovsky, among others. His first major work, the Piano Concerto (1936), popularized his name within and outside the Soviet Union. It was followed by the Violin Concerto (1940) and the Cello Concerto (1946). His other significant compositions include the Masquerade Suite (1941), the Anthem of the Armenian SSR (1944), three symphonies (1935, 1943, 1947), and around 25 film scores. Khachaturian is best known for his ballet music—Gayane (1942) and Spartacus (1954). His most popular piece, the Sabre Dance from Gayane, has been used extensively in popular culture and has been covered by a number of musicians worldwide. His style is characterized by colorful harmonies, captivating rhythms, virtuosity, improvisations, and sensuous melodies.
Khachaturian was the most renowned Armenian composer of the 20th century and the author of the first Armenian ballet music, symphony, concerto, and film score. While following the established musical traditions of Russia, he broadly used Armenian and to lesser extent, Caucasian, Eastern & Central European, and Middle Eastern peoples' folk music in his works. He is highly regarded in Armenia, where he is considered a national treasure.

Hayg Boyadjian, Armenian Suite
National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra
David Oberg, conductor
Hayg Boyadjian (born 1938) is an American composer of classical music whose work includes art song, chamber music and symphonies. Solo recordings of his compositions have been released by Opus One and Albany Records.
Boyadjian was born in Paris to Armenian parents and grew up in Buenos Aires, Argentina where the family had emigrated when he was a child. He began his musical studies at the Franz Liszt Conservatory in Buenos Aires before emigrating to the United States in 1958. He settled in Lexington, Massachusetts and continued his musical studies as a special student at the New England Conservatory and later at Brandeis University. In 1980 he received a fellowship to the McDowell Colony. In 1991 he was the first American composer to be invited by the government of the newly independent Armenia to visit the country for rehearsals and performances of his chamber music. He has since visited the country several times for performances of his works. His piano concerto received its world premiere in 2016 in Yerevan to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Armenia's independence.
Boyadjian is an active amateur astronomer and a member of the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston. Several of his works, including Perseus (written for flautist Doriot Anthony Dwyer) and Cassiopeia (written for clarinetist Jonathan Cohler), are inspired by constellations. The shape of the notes on the stave for the work's principal motif reflects the shape of the constellation itself.

Armen Babakhanian, piano
Alexandre Siranossian, conductor
Stéphan Elmas (Armenian: Ստեփան Էլմաս; 1862 – August 11, 1937) was an Armenian composer, pianist and teacher.
Elmas was born into a family of wealthy entrepreneurs in Smyrna (now İzmir), a city in the Ottoman Empire. It was soon discovered that the little boy was a child prodigy: he began taking piano lessons and writing short piano pieces under the tutelage of a local music teacher, Mr. Moseer, and already at the age of thirteen, the young virtuoso performed an all-Liszt piano recital.
In July 1879, with the encouragement of his teacher – but against the wishes of his family – Stéphan Elmas left for Weimar, Germany, hoping to audition for Franz Liszt. Here he was able to meet the great master: Liszt advised him to go to Austria and work with Professor Anton Door at the Vienna Conservatory [a.k.a. University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna] and Franz Kremm, the distinguished composer and church musician.
In Vienna, the seventeen-year-old Stéphan divided his time between studying the piano and composition, making his Vienna debut in 1885: an event which received many accolades in the press. Elmas continued to compose, writing many character pieces, including waltzes, mazurkas, nocturnes and impromptus. He dedicated his 6 Etudes (1881) to Franz Liszt and a number of pieces to Victor Hugo.
Elmas stayed in contact with Liszt and frequently sought his advice. In 1886, he briefly returned to his native Smyrna to attend his father's funeral, but returned to Vienna convinced that Europe had much more to offer him. On February 24, 1887, he gave a highly successful recital in Vienna's Saal Bösendorfer. A busy concert schedule followed, with Elmas scoring artistic triumphs in France, England, Germany, Austria and Italy. He mostly programmed his own works, but also performed Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann.
During his travels, Elmas became closely acquainted with, among others, the Russian composer and pianist Anton Rubinstein, the French composer Jules Massenet, the French pianist Joseph-Édouard Risler and the French lexicographer Guy de Lusignan. In 1912, he took up permanent residence in Geneva, Switzerland, where he continued to compose, teach and perform. Over time, Elmas became increasingly hard of hearing and grew somewhat of a bitter recluse, cutting himself off from the world.
Thankfully, he befriended Aimée Rapin (1868–1956), the armless Swiss painter, who nursed and consoled him during these difficult times. Elmas was also haunted by the tragic events of the 1915 Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman Turks. Fortunately, his family was able to escape to Athens following the Great Fire of Smyrna in 1922 which followed the Turkish occupation of the city.
Stéphan Elmas dictated his memoirs to Krikor-Hagop, a young journalist. His piano, along with his manuscripts and reminiscences, is now housed at the Charents Museum of Literature and Arts of Armenia. The composer died in Geneva and was buried in the city's Plainpalais cemetery.

Aram Khachaturian Sabre Dance Piano. Russian - Armenian Classical Music. Piano version.
Web ►
The Sabre Dance is a movement in the final act of Aram Khachaturian's 1942 ballet Gayane. The movement, especially its middle section, is based on Armenian folk music. It is widely considered Khachaturian's most famous work. In 1948 the Sabre Dance became a jukebox hit in the United States. The piece was further made popular by covers by pop artists, first in the US and later in other countries, such as the UK and Germany. Its use in a wide range of films and TV series over the decades have significantly contributed to its renown. The Sabre Dance has also been used by a number of figure skaters. Tom Huizenga of NPR describes it as one of the catchiest, most familiar—perhaps most maddening—tunes to come out of the 20th century. Billboard magazine calls it a piece that's known to every pops orchestra in existence.

Considered one of the most influencial Armenian composers, Khachatur Avetisyan was born in Gyumri, Armenia (14 April, 1926). He graduated from the Komitas National Music Conservatory in Yerevan where he studied composition with Professor Edward Mirzoyan. At age 25 he was the first Armenian composer honored with gold medals in Berlin and Moscow international competitions. In addition to his studies in classical music, Khachatur Avetisyan became an authority in Armenian folk music and traditional instruments, especially Kanon. He composed the first Concerto for Kanon and Symphony Orchestra in 1954.Khachatur Avetisyan dedicated his creative life to researching and developing the performance practice of the Armenian folk music. Khachatur Avetisyan created numerous famous songs, ballet, oratorio, film and dance music, as well as a large number of works for various folk instruments. His brilliant melodic work reveal a refined lyricism. In 1958 he assumed the role of the artistic director of National Dance Ensemble and later the Tatoul Altunian Song and Dance Ensemble, where his new folk instrumental and vocal music became a staple of the repertory.

William Brocklesby Wordsworth (17 December 1908 – 10 March 1988) was an English composer.
Wordsworth was born in London, a descendant of the poet Wordsworth's brother. He studied harmony and counterpoint under George Oldroyd from 1921 to 1931, continuing his study with Donald Francis Tovey at Edinburgh University from 1934 to 1936. In anticipation of conscientious objection he voluntarily began work on the land in 1939, and this role was later made a condition of exemption from military service by his tribunal. He lived in England until 1961 when he moved to Inverness-shire; in 1966, he helped found the Scottish Composer's Guild. His works, which number over 100, are largely tonal and Romantic in style.

Composers: Aram Ilyich Khachaturian
Artists: Bolshoi Theatre Orchestra, Evgeny Svetlanov (conductor)
Along with Shostakovich and Prokofiev, Khachaturian was one of the most famous and celebrated composers of the Soviet Union. Born in Tbilisi, Georgia, his earliest musical influences were the folk music of Georgia and of his ancestral homeland, Armenia. His ballet Gayaneh, composed in 1942, tapped into this passion for his Armenian heritage; set on a collective farm, its story is concerned with the triumph of love and loyalty to the Motherland over treason – themes that would keep Stalin happy. Khachaturian's later ballet Spartacus, written in 1956, took the famous story of the Greek slave turned gladiator and his defeat of the Roman general Crassus as its basis. Composed in the dying years of Stalin's rule, Khachaturian and his audiences were drawn to the story's theme of resistance against tyranny.
Several movements from these ballets have taken on a life outside the original ballet suites – for example, the Sabre Dance from Gayaneh and the famous Adagio from Spartacus – ensuring that these wonderful and colourfully scored ballet suites have become firm favourites in the concert hall.
'The Bolshoi orchestra are obviously completely at home in this repertoire, and Svetlanov's ear for orchestral detail is as sure as ever. How beautifully he handles the tapering down at the end of the 'Dance of the Nymphs' (from Spartacas), while the opening of the 'Dance of the Young Girls of Gadès' brings a slow, subtle crescendo… The famous 'Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia' has never sounded more touchingly refined on record and the climax does not disappoint. In Gayaneh there is a beguilingly sinuous sophistication in 'Ayesha's dance', and the 'Lullaby' and 'Gayeneh's Adagio' are beautifully played, creating much delicacy of texture.' Gramophone.

Voice of the Orchestra! State Youth Orchestra of Armenia - ARM
The State Youth Orchestra of Armenia was founded in 2005 by conductor Sergey Smbatyan, who is also its artistic director and principal conductor. Young and talented musicians' maturity to follow the right path of life, diligence and devotion to art have smoothed their way for great stages and rapidly increasing international awards. In 2008 on the special decision of the Government of the Republic of Armenia the Orchestra was granted the title of "State Orchestra" for their high professionalism and expansion of contemporary music.
The Orchestra has performed with numerous concerts both in Armenia and beyond its borders. It has performed in the most famous concert halls in Germany, France, Russia, Belgium, China, Netherlands, Italy, Lebanon, Austria, Spain and other countries, such as Opera Garnier (Paris), Konzerthaus (Berlin), Dr. Anton Philipszaal (Hague), Palais des Beaux-Arts (Brussels), P.Tchaikovsky Philharmonic Concert Hall, Conservatory Great Concert Hall (Moscow), Musikverein (Austria), Royal Theatre of Madrid, etc.
The Orchestra always makes an indivisible part of prestigious international festivals, to name a few, "Moscow Easter Festival" (Moscow/Russia), "YOUNG.EURO.CLASSIC'' (Berlin/Germany), Kultursommer Nordhessen (Kassel/Germany), Young.Classic.Wratislavia (Wroclaw/Poland), "Brucknerfest" (Linz/Austria) and many others. SYOA has appeared as the official orchestra of such prestigious international musical events as the Aram Khachaturian International Competition (since 2007), the Musica Riva International Festival (2013, Riva del Garda/Italy), the 9th Frederic Chopin International Competition for Young Pianists (2014, Foshan/China), the Al Bustan International Festival (2014, 2015, Beirut/Lebanon) and many others.
With close-creative relations with the masters of the world stage Valery Gergiev, Krzysztof Penderecki, Vladimir Spivakov, Maxim Vengerov, Denis Matsuev, Vadim Repin, Vahagn Papyan, Boris Berezovsky and many others the Orchestra has reached new heights in the music industry.
Young musicians are persistent initiators of new musical projects and series of charitable activities both in Armenia and overseas. Thus, since 2010 under the high patronage of the RA President Serzh Sargsyan the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia has been holding the annual Armenian Composers' Art Festival, and since 2013 with the support of the RA Ministry of Culture the Orchestra has been realizing the annual Aram Khachaturian International Festival. The State Youth Orchestra of Armenia constantly presents new interesting projects, such as concert series entitled "Hollywood Non-Stop", "Cartoon Non-Stop", "Tour to...", "SYOA Meets" and others. Another peculiar project is the regular series "Master Creates Masters". Within the framework of the above mentioned project the world famous masters such as Valery Gergiev, Zakhar Bron and many others have already presented master-classes to young generation.
The Youth Orchestra is a member of a number of authoritative international organizations, such as the European Federation of National Youth Orchestras (EFNYO, 2009) and the International Artist Managers' Association (IAMA, 2013).
The wide repertoire of the Orchestra ranges from classical to contemporary genre. In 2011 the State Youth Orchestra of Armenia, headed by the artistic director and principal conductor Sergey Smbatyan, released its first CD entitled Music is the answer.

The Sabre Dance (Armenian: Սուսերով Պար) is a movement in the final act of the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian's (Ара́м Ильи́ч Хачатуря́н, Aram Il'ič Xačaturjan) ballet Gayane (Гаянэ), completed in 1942. It evokes a whirling war dance in an Armenian dance, where the dancers display their skill with sabres. Its middle section incorporates an Armenian folk song from Gyumri.[1][2] Due to its exceptionally exciting rhythm, The Sabre Dance established a place for itself in common concert practice, leading also to various adaptations in popular music. Its recognizable ostinato and popular melodies have made Sabre Dance a popular concert band piece.

At this moment, we are working hard on learning the supply chain for each of the four goods we are tracking here in Cartagena, Colombia. We will share more with you soon.
Actualmente estamos concentrados en entender cuatro cadenas típicas de abastecimiento en el mercado de alimentos de Cartagena. Compartiremos pronto contigo mas avances de nuestro trabajo.
Footage by Elisha Goodman, a student in 11.975 Feeding Cities in the Global South: Challenges and Opportunities for Action in Cartagena, and Alexa Mills. Edited by Alexa Mills.
You captured all the action at the market. Excellent images and sound of this amazing place full of food, relations between several city actors, conflict, smells and culture.
Oh Elisha, this video makes me remember I market I used to shop at when I was a kid. It was called Mercado Caqueta. Conflicting feelings of nostalgia and anger.
Thank you Colab for leaving the ivory tower. Thank you for translating theory into action. Thank you for being humble enough to learn about the world from the world.
@ Nancy, yes I think that one of the reasons that many students decide to attend MIT is for all of the amazing opportunities that exist to leave the ivory tower and to see what happens when we apply planning theory to the real world. Such a grounding of theory with praxis ensures that planning theory remains effective and on target.
@ Carlos, I understand the nostalgia and would love to hear more about why the video inspires anger. Is it the apparent disorganization and low level of hygiene? I get the sense that there is more order to the market than might appear to a new set of eyes, though there is general consensus among vendors of all types that hygiene could improve.
@ Martha, thank you! We are very fortunate that CoLab is able to provide flip cameras to capture the market. The footage tells so many stories so quickly and helps us remember all that we saw as we continue to evaluate the supply chain.

Canadian Arctic Express: The Heart of the Northwest Passage
Tackle the fabled passage on this essential Arctic journey
Discover the essential heart of the Canadian High Arctic on this nine-day expedition, including five days spent exploring at sea. Spot musk oxen and polar bears among the otherworldly landscapes in places like Arctic Bay, Beechey Island and Croker Bay. Explore the heart of the fabled Northwest Passage and attempt to traverse the Bellot Strait, the narrow pass that wasn't navigated by Europeans until 1937. Travel with an expert crew of seafarers, academics, scientists and locals who grew up in the region to get the most out of your journey.
Polar, Wildlife
BQMHP
Min 1, Max 200
Spot incredible wildlife on land and on Zodiac excursions. Canada's High Arctic is home to fantastic beasts like polar bears, musk oxen, narwhals and caribou.
Traverse the waterways of the so-called Northwest Passage, with possible landings in Lancaster Sound, the Bellot Strait and Port Leopold Island.
Discover the immense beauty of ancient glaciers, house-sized icebergs, granite mountains and epic tundra that extends as far as the eye can see.
With two helicopters on board, you'll get the chance to take included flights to soar above the Arctic landscape and make landings at otherwise inaccessible areas.
Explore parts of the Nunavut region with Inuit guides and learn about the people who have lived in the world's most difficult environments for thousands of years.
You will be supplied with an expedition parka and waterproof boots that are sturdy and warm. Please see the 'Packing' section of the Essential Trip Information for a detailed guide on what to bring with you.
The plan is to hop into Zodiac boats quite regularly to explore and search for wildlife. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac.
Sturdy sea legs are needed for wet and dry landings by Zodiac, and you will hike on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces.
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure and, although there's an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you'll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially in such a remote area.

Kentucky Governor Says Blood Will Be Shed if Clinton Wins Presidency
Matt Bevin, the first-term Republican governor of Kentucky, said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. last weekend that while the country could "recover" from a Clinton presidency, blood would be shed in the quest to "reclaim" the country.
"I do think it would be possible," for the country to recover, he said, according to The Atlantic, "but at what price?"
"Whose blood will be shed? It may be that of those in this room. It might be that of our children and grandchildren…Don't let it happen."
According to the Associated Press, the governor's office later clarified that Bevin was speaking of military lives that could be lost if Clinton follows in President Obama's footsteps in dealing with ISIS, saying, "We cannot be complacent about the determination of radical Islamic extremists to destroy our freedoms."
Later in his speech, he mentioned other controversial issues, like abortion, and encouraged Christians to be vocal about their opinions.
"Look at the atrocity of abortion, so many have remained silent," he said. "It's a slippery slope. First we're killing children, then it's 'don't ask don't tell.' Now it's this gender-bending, don't ask, don't be a bigot, don't be unreasonable, don't be unenlightened, heaven forbid."
As far as controversy following his statements goes, Bevin says not to take his words out of context.
"I would encourage anyone who truly cares about this issue to invest 15 minutes of time and listen to my comments in their entirety," he said. "Any intelligent person will easily understand the message I delivered."

3D printing will not reshape the manufacturing landscape completely. However, over time, a new market structure with many opportunities for value creation will emerge.
Direct Digital Manufacturing – 3D printing – may become a general purpose technology with wide-ranging implications for: supply chains, production and strategic positioning in a market flooded with tailor-made products. The race is on. Are you ready for the upheaval in your industry? Alternatively, do you want seize the opportunities and become a central player in the emerging market structure?
"3D printing or additive manufacturing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object". The typical sequential phases include the digital design of the product (creation, modification, copying or scanning), the additive manufacturing process (i.e. the printing) and finishing.
While 3D printing will undoubtedly affect the economy, perceptions of the scope and magnitude of 3D printing's implications are polarized. The popular press optimistically conceives of 3D printing as a new "industrial revolution," a "gold rush" that will dramatically change supply chains, firm strategies, competition, and industrial geographies.
In contrast, the academic literature highlighting technological limitations, high material costs, lack of safety and quality standards, and high energy costs largely confines 3D printing to specialized situations and particular and complex products.
We argue that within existing manufacturing there is a much room for the incorporation of 3D printing to complement existing traditional manufacturing technologies. Manufacturers with complex bills-of-material will adopt 3D printing to extract additional scale advantages from traditional manufacturing. Hence, product variability, not merely product launch, is a pivotal antecedent for the co-location of and complementarity between traditional manufacturing and 3D printing.
Demand for specialized products and demand from specialized geographies will reduce 3D printing's raw materials costs (Ruffo, Tuck & Hague 2007), and advance 3D printing technology. We propose that resulting cost reductions and quality improvements will make 3D printing viable for urgent, otherwise disruptive production in existing manufacturing facilities. Manufacturers will allocate expedite orders for low and sporadic demand parts to 3D printing, reducing setup and changeover on traditional production lines.
How will a 3D populated economy market structure look like? Which opportunities does this market structure entails to existing firms and startups?
The mass adoption of and production by 3D printing technologies will first, make many more products accessible to customers; second, distributed production will partially replace today's concentrated production (from a handful to numerous production entities); third, on-site production for instantaneous demand fulfillment will partially replace the current production model which entails the anticipation of demand, delay, production, delay, product exhibition, delay and purchase; fourth, we will see wide-spread commoditized manufacturing infrastructure.
The combination of these four mechanisms will enable a new economic structure requiring innovation and repositioning of existing activities.
First, similarly to the home printer, home 3D printing will become a standard allowing the production of replacement products, unique gifts, accessories etc. More importantly, opportunities for design creation in the ready-to-download automated production instructions are limitless. An individual 3D printer is not a necessity. The sharing economy of 3D printers, as in the 26,780 3D printers, mediated by www.3dhubs.com, waiting for your order around the globe, without the fuss of traditional unwilling-to-change professions like Taxi drivers.
Second, street corner printing firms (7-Eleven of most things) will create opportunities for the fast food and magazine stores to reposition their role in society. Opportunities exist in this transformation process by focusing on higher value added printers that allow a combination of more raw materials and the stock of such raw materials not available for home users.
Third, tremendous opportunities exist for regional and national supercenter printing firms. Supercenters are sites with numerous 3D printers of higher quality than the street corner printers, a wide range of raw material in stock and which are competitive due to scale economies.
Fourth, for the many existing Norwegian firms specializing in excavation and other raw material gathering (e.g. forest industries) raw-material printing will allow moving up the value chain. Raw-material printing is 3D printing activities next to the location of costly to transport (e.g. wood) and difficult-to-handle raw-materials (e.g. chemicals). This will come at the expense of traditional manufacturing, wholesale, retail and long-haul logistics firms. Finished or semi-finished products as opposed to raw materials will be shipped for the location of production.
In summary, rather than completely reshaping the manufacturing landscape or being confined to niche consumer goods, we propose a blended scenario where manufacturers with complex bills-of-material adopt 3D printing early to isolate production variability and individuals and specialized firms will produce very small batches of unique products.
Over time, as technology improves and adoption grows exponentially, a new market structure with many opportunities for value creation will emerge. Are you read to invest?

Q: How do I proof, that this algorithm gives out the right probability for finding the euro in the desk drawers? Assignment
There is a desk in your office that has a 50% chance of holding one euro. This desk has three drawers. If there is a euro in this desk, it is equally likely to be in one of the drawers. What is the probability that the euro is in the third drawer if you have already searched in vain for it in the in the first and second?
Solution:
int iterations = 10000;
int desk;// 0 or 1 - 50%
int[] foundEuro = new int[5];

for (int i=1; i <= iterations; i++){
    desk = (int) (Math.random() * 2);

    if ( desk == 0){ // found Euro
        int drawer = (int) (Math.random() * 3);

        if ( drawer == 0){
            foundEuro[drawer]++; // euro in drawer1
        } else {
            foundEuro[drawer]++; // euro in drawer2
            foundEuro[drawer+1]++; // euro in drawer3
        }
    } else {
        foundEuro[desk]++;
    }
}

showResult(foundEuro);
float probability = ( ((float) foundEuro[0]) / iterations) * 100;
System.out.printf("%.2f%%", probability);

Output
Euro in drawer 1: 1638
Euro in drawer 2: 6622
Euro in drawer 3: 3343
16,38%
Note
I think, my code has no errors and is supposed to show the right result, but idk if it is really the right probability for finding the euro in the third drawer, while in the other first two drawers it wasn't there.

A: Your algorithm and result is simply wrong. What you calculated is basically the probability of the coin being in a given drawer in the desk and that is obviously 1/2 * 1/3, probability of correct desk * probability of correct drawer = 1/6 roughly 16.6
The correct answer however is 25%. You can work that out on paper or you can adjust your program to properly reflect the 'if you have already searched in vain for it in the in the first and second' constraint. You basically have to discard those random coin choices that violate this constraint. The code then becomes:
int iterations = 100000;
int found = 0;
int violateThePrecondition = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= iterations; i++) {
    int desk = (int) (Math.random() * 2);
    if (desk == 0) { // found Euro
        int drawer = (int) (Math.random() * 3);
        if (drawer == 2) { // coin in drawer 2
            found++;
        } else { // drawers 0 and 1 can by definition not have the coin
            violateThePrecondition++;
        }
    }
}

float probability = (((float) found) / (iterations - violateThePrecondition)) * 100;
System.out.printf("%.2f%%", probability);

25.05%

The minimal change to your code would have been to change the probability calculation to
float probability = ( ((float) foundEuro[0]) / (iterations - foundEuro[2])) * 100;

The math involved is (cNdM is the coin being in drawer N in desk M = 1/3 * 1/2 = 1/6, d0 is the coin being in desk0 = 1/2):
P(c2d0 | !c1d0 and !c0d0) =
P(c2d0 and (!c1d0 and !c0d0)) / P(!c1d0 and !c0d0) =
    with (!c1d0 and !c0d0) = (!d0 or c2d0)
P(c2d0 and (!d0 or c2d0)) / P(!d0 or c2d0) =
P(c2d0) / (P(!d0) + P(c2d0)) =
1/6 / (1/2 + 1/6) =
1/6 / 4/6 =
1 / 4

A: First, you decide, whether the Euro is in the desk at all or not. If I interpret this correctly, once it is NOT, you increase the counter in foundEuro[1], as you are in the else clause, where desk holds value 1. This exact same array element gets also increased, when there is a Euro in drawer 2, so the 66,22% chance is actually for the Euro being somewhere else OR in drawer 2 and not only for being in drawer 2. Additionally, I don't get why you always increase both counters for drawer 2 and drawer 3, when drawer != 0, you should probably make use of a switch case statement.
Second, I think you might check out the Monty Hall problem, which may be related and give you a hint towards how to approach this kind of statistics problem, as I think your assumptions are already flawed. Your question is less about the code and more about how to solve a probability problem, so maybe take a look at https://stats.stackexchange.com

A: The chance for finding a Euro in the desk is 50%, 1/2.
If you find one, it is equally likely in any of the three drawers.
I.e. the chance to find it in any given drawer is (1/3)*(1/2)=1/6.
The special situation that you do not find the Euro in two of the drawers has a chance of 4/6. It could be in the third drawer in 1/6 cases and is not at all in this desk in 1/2=3/6. These chances do not overlap and can hence be added, 1/6+3/6=4/6.
The chance that you find the Euro in the third drawer, specially in that situation is (1/6)/(4/6)=1/4, because the chance of the situation, multiplied by the chance for that situation must yield the total chance, i.e. (1/4)*(4/6)=1/6.

Pertonstore selects builders' merchant software to support future growth plans
MAM Trader will manage everyday tasks for family-run business and help it meet ongoing objectives
Pertonstore.com Ltd, a family-run specialist in ceiling and dry lining supplies, has selected MAM Trader to help meet the needs of its growing business. The NMBS member favoured the innovative ERP application for builders' merchants over other products for its user-friendly interface and scalability.
"I have looked at many other software providers over the past two years and not one of them ticked all the boxes for what I required," explained Anthony Wroe, director of Pertonstore.com Ltd.
"However, in Trader I believe we have now found the best solution to fit our business."
Trader is fully-supported builders' merchant software backed by a team of UK-based professionals, seven days a week. The system's core features help businesses of any size improve productivity, increase profits and enhance relationships with their customers.
Describing his existing system as "slow and outdated", Anthony noted that he desperately needed software that would fit seamlessly into his business, which supplies both trade and public.
"Our company is fast growing, so we require an adaptable solution that will take over everyday tasks and help us to run and grow our business more efficiently," he continued.
Several of Trader's features stood out for Pertonstore. The system can be extended across multiple branches should the company decide to open more locations, and there is potential to integrate B2B and B2C websites with its customer database. It will also be able to keep track of stock more effectively and manage its delivery schedule.
One of the main advantages of Trader for Anthony and his team was its easy-to-use interface. Counter staff will be able to quickly search for products and information at point of sale, while the system also allows them to automatically email invoices and statements to customers.
"I can't fault the professionalism of all the people I have spoken to at MAM and look forward to growing our business over the long term with our new builders' merchant software provider.
"Having been through many demos and conversations with other solutions, up to now MAM have been a breeze to work with," added Anthony.
Ben Whitehouse, senior sales manager at MAM Software, commented: "We designed Trader to make day-to-day operations easier for builders' merchants such as Pertonstore. The feature-rich software has several innovative features to improve processes that can ultimately enhance efficiency, customer service and profitability.
"Our team of UK-based professionals are on hand to make sure every one of our customers gets the most out of their software. Whether they need help with implementation or technical advice, friendly staff are available to assist in whatever way they can."

Are you looking for quick and easy pasta recipe? Well, my bowtie pasta and cream of mushroom soup with onion rings is a crowd pleaser. The first time I made this pasta dish, everyone simply wants another bowl. This dish is very easy to make and inexpensive, so a must try.
Bowtie pasta also known as farfalle originated in Northern Italy. The name farfalle is derived from an Italian word farfalla, which means butterfly. It is commonly called bowtie because of its shaped that looks like a ribbon or bowtie. Farfalle pastas are suited to tomato and cream dishes.
Below are the ingredients you will need to make bowtie pasta in cream of mushroom soup.
Prepare the pasta according to package direction. Set aside.
Melt butter in a medium sauce pan then sauté the garlic for 3 minutes. Add the diced mushroom and cook for about 3 minutes.
Next, pour the cream of mushroom soup, milk into the saucepan and season with pepper and salt.
Add the pasta to the sauce and toss until well coated.
Dip the onions into the egg then bread crumbs.
In a medium sized pan, deep fry the onion rings until golden brown.
I made this dish for lunch but it is also great for dinner or whenever you have craving for cream based pasta. I used Campbell's cream of mushroom soup for the cream sauce and it was delicious. By the way, you can add asparagus to make the dish even more healthier and colorful.
You can also garnish the pasta dish using parsley. I've run out of parsley, i would have put some if I have stock in the kitchen.


Parent patent expired due to non-payment - are issued continuations still valid?
US patent 5938197 shows that it is expired due to non-payment (according to the search here: http://portal.uspto.gov/pair/PublicPair ).
This patent has several children/continuations.
Does the fact that the parent has expired due to non-payment automatically mean that the children have expired as well? They do not all show expired when I search for them, but I am not sure to what extent a continuation is connected to it's parent patent.
So 6,318,720 (expired) is a continuation of 6,123,332 (not expired??), which is a continuation of 5938197 (expired).
Another example: d455462 does not say it is expired. It is a division of D436635 which does not say it is expired and is a continuation of 5,938,197 which is the original one mentioned expired due to non-payment.
Ok first thing First all patents except US6,123,332 have expired for non-payment.
NOW to main question in US patents wherein Parent child relation exist generally a terminal disclaimer is seen.
terminal disclaimer is not accessible in above case. There is no precedence wherein parent expiry effected child expiry so above should hold ground. On the other hand you are free to use all other patent but not '332.
disclaimer just for educational purpose, claims no liability on information provided please consult US attorney for qualified guidance.
Term of a patent is 20 years from the date on which the application for the patent was filed at the US Patent Office.
Continuing Patent Applications (continuation, CIP and divisional) claim benefit from the earlier filed non provisional application (parent application). The term of any patent issuing from a continuation, CIP or divisional application is 20 years from the filing date of the earlier filed non provisional application (parent application) for which a benefit is claimed, which means continuing applications will have shorter patent term as they expire with their parent patent.
Maintenance fee or renewal fee has to be paid for all utility patents to maintain them in force. Failure to pay such a fee on time as set forth by the US patent Law, leads to the expiry of the patent even before the term of 20 years mentioned above. In US, maintenance fee can be paid three times during the life of a patent.
It shall be noted that in US, maintenance has to be paid for all continuing applications to maintain them in force. When a parent expires due to non payment of renewal fee it may not cause all continuing applications in the chain claiming benefit from the parent or from another continuing application to expire if the maintenance fee for the continuing applications are paid on time. Similarly, any continuing application in chain may cease to have effect due to non payment of fee without causing other applications in the chain to lapse if maintenance fee for the other applications are paid on time.

Discussion in 'General Knife Discussion' started by sfknifeguy, Feb 26, 2019.
Hey Everyone, super new to the forum but have been lurking a bit and seen that it's a great group of folks. I was curious of everyone's thoughts on the Spyderco Drunken. I personally love Dmitry Sinkevich designs and the look/aesthetic of the Drunken as a whole. I've never personally owned a knfie with S90v steel but have read that it performs quite well. I know that it hasn't released yet and I'm not sure when it will, but what are your thoughts on the price point of it? Is it a reasonable price for what it's asking. I'm kind of thinking we simply won't know until we have it in hand. I'm curious to hear everyone else's takes on it.
Given Taichung's production quality on other top-tier Spydercos, I think it's probably reasonably priced given its features. However, a lot of the features contributing to its expense are largely cosmetic, so I think 'reasonable' is really less a discussion of whether the cost is appropriate for the features and more a discussion of whether the features are worth paying for, on the one hand, and whether Spyderco has 'earned' the reputation to ask that kind of money for their knives.
Spyderco has performed very solidly at the high-end production level for a year or two now, but they've not historically had a Gold Class-type line a la Benchmade, and the Drunken's price is well into the range of the small boutique midtech production shops like Millit, Olamic, Koenig Knives, Chris Reeve, etc, which have made their bones at that price point. Spyderco hasn't quite gained the reputation for being able to compete at that level yet, but the Drunken may start changing some minds on that.

Should the get Drunken discontinued and the price reduced, I might pick one up.
I think Knife is priced fairly but at $400 plus, I would probably spend my money elsewhere.
Lapedog and sfknifeguy like this.
I like what you all have to say. I have heard a lot of good about their higher end stuff, I don't know what the Nirvana sold for at launch, but I know it was a well received knife. I'm not quite sure either of Spyderco has earned the right to charge that kind of premium for a knife, even though I'm sure it'll be extremely high quality. What kind of knives would you all suggest in the $300 - $400 range then for a high end piece? I've not broken the $200 mark more than once or twice, but am willing to spring for a higher end knife in that range.
Production wise Reate and We are tough to beat in the sub $400. CRK and Hinderer are the kings of of the $401-$600 range for me. Customs prices and quality vary wildly, right now I think the best "bang for your buck" makers are Aaron Fredrick, Wind River Wild Knives, Brian Brown, and Tactical Pterodactyl Knives. But honestly if you like the Drunken get it!
Reate and WE knives will be the benchmarks to beat at that price range. They may match WE but I doubt it'll be on the level of Reate, I'd love to be proven wrong.
I like it, I like Sinkevich designs and I love Spyderco.
But.......it's priced a little too high IMO. For that dollar amount I'm buying a CRK.
Its not competing against these knives offered imho.
Prices are set fine for what it is. The milling and quality from Taichung, the designer and his style. The premium s90v etc is what your paying more for in general.
I don't think know WE knives doesn't compete anywhere near reate.
It would be nice if spyderco made this without the milling for around 300$ but alas it's a halo knife from the brand where they pulled out all the stops.
On top of this, people who seen it at the knife shows like it alot.
Not all knives are just about the materials they are made out of and nothing more. And they don't all compete with other knives from other brands.
Nearly all the halo and expensive knives never get edc. They are for collectors mostly. Primarily they are knives obviously.
The cost may be justified based on the design fees, materials used and the costs of manufacture BUT it doesn't seem that competitive w/other knives in the same price range.
It also doesn't help that the advance photos that I've seen of the Drunken make it look a lot like a ZT which generally cost much less than the estimated market price of the knife; the pivot screw, clip and the handle have a very ZT look about them to me.
I like most of the ZT/Sinkevich designed knives (and own 6 of them) but if I'm going to get a ZT looking Spyderco knife, I'd rather pay a lower ZT (rather than premium Spyderco) price for it. However, as a Spyderco OpFocus member, the price I'd have to pay for the Drunken is still w/in my means and below max price that I'll pay for any knife, so I'm in a "wait and see" mode before I decide whether to buy it or not.
I just paid $300 for a Sprint ZT0452 G10 M390 Rose Gold. So, it's not like I can't spend that much $ on a knife. I'll just have to see if the Drunken seems worth that much $ to me or not.
It's a nice looking knife. But I wouldn't pay $400 for a Spyderco.
If I was going to drop $300 to $400 on a production knife (by a name brand designer) I would get a Reate Crossroads or Laconico EZE, but those are more to my taste.
Alsharif and Barman1 like this.
It looks like the lovechild of a Spydie Chef and 0850. I just don't see it being worth $400 unless you collect Spydies. It looks pretty cool though.
Chris*33 and Boss00Hoss like this.
Is it named after what you gotta be to buy one, or the state the designer was in when it was shaped?
Pomsbz, SherlockT, marrenmiller and 3 others like this.
Aww c'mon, that was the lowest-hanging fruit I've ever seen. Practically laying on the ground.
For the designer, material, and milling, the price is not out of the norm. Its just that most people are not used to $400 range Spydercos.
Pharmagator and Boss00Hoss like this.
I hope the Drunken will justify its price. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty comfortable making recommendations for knives $25-250 and $500-900, but in the $250-500 range, I've got nothin'. I prefer some <$250 knives (e.g., SpydieChef, Boos Smoke, Skaha II in CF) to those I've seen that are more expensive up to $500. I haven't caught the CRK bug, and I love certain knives in the higher price bracket, but I'll take a good look at the Drunken to see if it can beat those <$250 knives to the extent it's worth the added cost.


They kidnap your husband, they say they will kill him in 24 hours if you dont come up with a million dollars.
You call up Chris Voss, the former lead hostage negotiator for the FBI.
Chris has saved thousands of lives in hostage negotiations. Hes negotiated against the worlds most maniacal terrorists.
He worked at the FBI for 24 years.
Now he helps others negotiate. He helps companies, individuals, governments, etc.
He wrote an excellent book about negotiation called, Never Split the Difference. I recommend it.
So I gave him a call. Chris, how can I get better?
He laughed when I met him. I said to him, Did you fly here just to do this podcast?
Im meeting the most interesting guy in the world, he said. Why wouldnt I fly here?
Flattery will get you nowhere! Nevertheless, I am effusively recommending his book and that you listen to the podcast when it comes out in a few weeks.
And I got a chance to sit down with him and ask him everything I wanted to know about negotiation.
Im the worst at negotiating. Ive lost companies, Ive lost millions, Ive lost time, Ive gotten depressed all due to bad negotiations.
I like to think that I learned from all the bad negotiations. Because at least in a bad negotiation, someone is good (the other side) and I can pick it apart and learn from it.
But much better was for me to simply meet the best negotiator in the world and ask him as many questions as I want.
This is the most important thing I learned while talking to Chris.
You always want to get more information in a negotiation with as little commitment as possible on your side.
If one side says, Show up with a million dollars tomorrow! you can say, How am I supposed to get you a million dollars by tomorrow?
Outsource the hard things they are asking right back to them.
If one side says, We can only go as low as $36,000 on this car you can say, I cant go higher than $30,000. How am I supposed to come up with the $36,000? And just see what they say.
Ask open-ended questions starting with how or what. Ask a lot of them. Be prepared in advance with your how questions.
A lot of people think you get people to say easy yes-es so that when the situation gets more difficult, they are more primed to say Yes.
Not true, Chris told me. People are too primed now to say yes. They know what you are up to. Get them to say No first. Thats the starting point.
Ask them a question like, Do you want this project to fail? or Is this situation not going to work out for either side.
They dont want to fail, so they will say No. Now you can start to find common ground.
You can start to get empathy with the other side by listing the negatives on your side.
Then they start to agree with you.
For instance, you can say, I know you might not trust me. I know you have had bad dealings in the past. I know youve had a hard childhood and this is the only way to make money.
They will say, Thats right. And once you have empathy with them you can be a little more insistent on what it is you want.
Nobody wants to feel powerless. If the negotiation is not going your way you can say to them, Sounds like theres nothing you can do.
This will make them feel powerless. They will say no to that and now they will try to do something for you to prove they are not powerless.
If someone says, This car is $36,000 then start come back with something like, Listen, I know its very difficult to go below $36,000. I know you are doing the best you can here. But the most I can afford is $32,157.
Then it appears (and it can also be true) that you are doing the homework and preparation to come up with an exact number that you can afford.
This is, of course, better if you have done the work to back up that specific number. Then it is hard for them to fight it.
Whatever they say, repeat the last one to three words. Do this as much as possible.
If they say, We cant go higher than $100,000 on salary because thats what everyone else is making just say Thats what everyone else is making and see what they say next.
They will always say more.
Dont be afraid to go silent. Mirror and then have the confidence to go silent.
Nobody wants the negotiation to end. They will keep talking and give you more information.
Your goal is you want to get them talking as much as possible. The more information you have, the better. And the more likely they will negotiate against themselves.
They need you as much as you need them. Most people dont realize that in the heat of a negotiation.
Thats why they are in the negotiation in the first place.
If they put a deadline on, dont feel obligated to meet it. The negotiation wont end. They still need you.
Turns out the negotiations would intensify every Friday. How come? Because they really just wanted money to party all weekend.
We ended up getting the negotiation down to $16,000 and by that time they had pretty much given up so the hostage was able to escape.
This was a totally new one for me.
In Chriss book Never Split the Difference he talks about how you have to use you late night FM DJ voice when you negotiate to show people you are solid and serious.
I wasnt sure what that meant. He showed me. He got his voice about half an octave deeper and he slowed down a bit between each word.
I practiced. It worked. It was almost scary when I listened to Chris.
It brought back memories of my dad being super serious about punishing me and I did not want to mess with him.
This is where I have messed up the most in my own negotiations.
And, by the way, I am not innocent. Ive sold, or been involved in the selling of, over a dozen companies.
Ive negotiated many many investments. Many sales of rights, inventions, patents, deals, etc.
Ive been around the block. But I mess up. A lot. And terms and conditions are what get me.
For instance, its not just a number for salary.
There can be more open-ended things that need to be discussed and put down on paper like, How can I best succeed at this job so I get a promotion/raise with a year?
Or, How can we work this out so I get an extra week vacation.
In every situation there are extra terms and conditions that need to be worked out.
15 years ago, one expert negotiator, Dr. Larry Brilliant (his real name), who later became head of all of Googles charity work, gave me advice, Always make sure your list is bigger than theirs so you can give up the nickels in exchange for the dimes.
Who Throws Out A Number First?
I always have gone back and forth on this. Its common sense to let them throw out a number first because maybe the number you throw out might be too low.
No, he said, Let them throw out a number first.
For one thing, your number might be so high that they stop trusting you. And as far as anchoring, know what your range is and if their number is too low then dont let their number anchor you. Be psychologically strong enough to not let them anchor you.
Also, if their number is too low you can get back to the open-ended How questions. Like, If everyone else in my industry is paid X then how can I go with the number you suggest?
Dont go crazy over this. Since you dont want to over-prepare. But get your how questions ready. Your no questions.
I said to him, You should be a couples counselor. Thinking of the 10+ couples therapists Ive visited in the past 20 years.
Thinking of all the bad negotiations Ive had in (now -ex) relationships. Thinking of the hardships caused. The pain.
He laughed, These techniques are good for all situations really. Thats what I love about what I do.
I cant even imagine negotiating against him but he told me one story about working with his son.
One of his colleagues came to negotiate something with him. His son was there also.
They were talking for about an hour when his son started laughing. Dad! Dont you see what hes doing? Hes been mirroring everything youve been saying for the past hour and you just keep talking.
Im an assertive person, he said, so its easy to get me talking. My colleague was using my own tricks against me.
Even the master can be the student.
The key to success is to approach everything with humility. To know that there is always something new to learn in this surreal art of being human.
I think Im too much of a sucker. Im afraid every threat is true. And I want to please everyone. I want people to love me.
Next time my daughters negotiate with me Im going to have to call Chris for coaching.
But maybe I will let them win anyway. Love will beat me in a negotiation every time.
This is teaser post formy upcoming podcast with Chris Voss, the former lead hostage negotiator for the FBI and author of Never Split the Difference.


Bela Lugosi was cast as a gang leader in this, his third and final film for Dua. The film was released in two parts, with the second part being screened in 1921. Olaf Storm later appeared in F.W. Murnau's The Last Laugh (1924) and Metropolis (1926), while Mariam Alma appeared alongside Conrad Veidt in The Student of Prague (1926).


Give your bathroom a product that is the latest trend in UK. The market leader in bathrooms, Tavistock, is introducing this floor-standing Unit and Basin under it Swift range. It has a nice appeal and will turn-out to be the focal point in your bathroom. While the basin is made from ceramic, unit is made from best-quality materials and both are finished in excellent white.
Can you tell me how deep the basin is on the white tavistock swift as the description stated its slim depth.
