How far have cars really come in terms of fuel efficiency? We took a 95-year-old Ford Model T on an economy run to find out.
Make sure you keep your thumb tucked behind the crank handle," said the man from the Ford Heritage Centre. "If you don't, it could recoil and then break your thumb."
This was my first attempt at starting a 1915 Ford Model T and it didn't go well. I'd tried several times to wrench the crank handle around with enough force to get the engine moving and failed miserably. I lost count of the number of attempts it took me before it finally chugged into life.
The scene was set on Ford's test track at its Technical Centre in Dunton, Essex, which is normally reserved for cutting edge vehicles under development. The camouflage-clad concept cars would have to wait, though, as I was about to find out how far I could travel on just one gallon of fuel in the Model T.
It sounds like a strange choice of vehicle for an economy run, but there's method to the madness. The Model T's modern descendants – the Focus and Fiesta – will top 60mpg and 70mpg in tree-hugging ECOnetic diesel form, but are laden with luxuries such as air-conditioning, digital radios and electronic driving aids – all of which add weight, and thus sap fuel. Though the engine might not be as efficient, the Model T's simplicity and lack of bulk could just work in its favour.
Before the test, a short driving lesson was in order. I climbed aboard and found the layout to be fairly conventional – three pedals, a steering wheel with two stalks and a large, black lever (presumably the handbrake) to my right.
But looks can be deceiving, as my instructor, Ivan Bartholomeusz, was quick to point out. "The pedal on your right is the foot brake, the one in the middle is reverse and you press the one on the left to accelerate in first gear. The stalk on the left is the throttle and the one on the right adjusts the engine's fuelling. If it all goes wrong, then come off everything and pull back the lever on your right. That only brakes the rear wheels, but it's better than the foot brake."
My lack of confidence was reminiscent of my first driving lesson, but after a few laps the old Ford became more familiar – and fun. It has a better turning circle than anything new on the road today, while the surprisingly accurate steering and high driving position make it easy to manoeuvre.
In preparation for the run itself, we purged the fuel tank and topped it up with exactly a gallon of petrol. The lack of a fuel gauge was a real eye-opener – early drivers dunked a dipstick into the tank (located beneath the driver's seat) to find out how much fuel they had left. Ah, the days before health and safety.
With the Heritage Centre staff clutching measuring gear and lined up by the starting point, the Model T grizzled and burbled away from the starting line. I did my level best to drive as steadily as possible and eke out every last mpg, but smooth gear changes weren't easy.
The Model T has only two ratios and changing up involves backing off the hand throttle and lifting off the left pedal simultaneously – resulting in a shudder and a loud clatter from the rear, followed by a slight increase in speed to indicate that you've made it into second.
After nearly an hour of gentle driving, I felt the inevitable cough and the engine quickly spluttered to a halt. When they realised that I hadn't stalled it, the Heritage team tore across the track to measure the final distance. The result? A rather disappointing 13.8mpg.
Given more time and a lot more practice, 20mpg could be on the cards, but that would be bordering on a waste of fuel. It's an overused phrase in classic car circles, but this demonstration really does show how far we've come in the past 100 years.
Despite their greater weight and complexity, modern motors have got it licked on the economy front. As for the Model T's charm and character, new cars have yet to replicate that.
The car we used for our economy test is a 1915 Model T Tourer, but it's far from the oldest version in existence. Production began at Ford's Detroit factory in 1908, when buyers would have paid £220 for a brand new Model T, and ended in 1927.
More than 15-million Model Ts were built in the US alone, while production expanded to Cork, Berlin and Manchester to name but a few.
The Ford's popularity eventually declined as its 2.9-litre, 20bhp engine didn't sit well with new motoring tax laws, which penalised cars with large engines. Sound familiar?

Eternal Questions, Evolving Answers
Alan Lightman explores the limits of knowledge in Probable Impossibilities
By Maria Browning | March 19, 2021
"I confess that I myself do not believe in miracles," writes Alan Lightman in his essay collection Probable Impossibilities. In its clarity and gentleness, that sentence embodies the character of much of Lightman's writing, from the delicate fiction of Einstein's Dreams (1992) to the spiritual exploration in his 2018 book of essays, Searching for Stars on an Island in Maine. Probable Impossibilities is classic Lightman, a mix of cutting-edge science, philosophical reflection, and storytelling that celebrates rational inquiry while respecting experiences of mystery and awe.
Photo: Michael Lionstar
The main body of the book, introduced with a look at the ideas of 17th-century philosopher Blaise Pascal — "[Man] is equally incapable of seeing the Nothing from which he was made, and the Infinite in which he is swallowed up" — is divided into three sections: "Nothingness," "Mind," and "Infinity." The concepts Lightman surveys are as profound as those headings suggest.
For example, there's Caltech physicist Sean Carroll's theory of "Two-Headed Time," which builds on the work of fellow physicist Alan Guth. Carroll posits that time has existed forever and the expanding universe we inhabit mirrors a corresponding contraction on the other side of the Big Bang. This model has mind-boggling implications for the nature of time, as Lightman explains:
Now it is well known in the science of order and disorder that, other things being equal, larger spaces allow for more disorder, essentially because there are more places to scatter things. Equivalently, smaller spaces have more order. As a consequence, in the Carroll-Guth picture, the order of the universe was at a maximum at the Big Bang, with order decreasing both before and after. Recall that the forward direction of time is the movement of order to disorder. Thus the future points away from the Big Bang in both directions of time. A person living in the contracting phase of the universe sees the Big Bang in her past, just as we do. When she dies, the universe is larger than when she was born, just as it will be for us.
There are many such passages in the book, explorations of theory that reward a patient reader with a taste of conceptual adventure. Lightman, a trained physicist himself, acknowledges the unsettling effect of such ideas and suggests that their ability to make us question our most fundamental experience of reality is the source of their value. "In our extraordinarily entitled position of being not only living matter but conscious matter," he writes, "we are the cosmic 'observers.'… We are the only mechanism by which the universe can comment on itself." In this way, he says, we create a "cosmos of meaning."
The final essay in the collection, "The Man Who Knows Infinity," centers on Russian-born physicist Andrei Linde, now at Stanford University, who developed the theory of "eternal chaotic inflation." As Lightman describes it, Linde's theory "predicts that our universe is necessarily one of a vast number of universes, each of which is constantly and randomly spawning new universes in an unending chain of cosmic creation, extending into the future for eternity." (This idea is the foundation of the concept of the "multiverse," discussed at length in Lightman's 2014 book The Accidental Universe.)
One of the delights of any Alan Lightman essay is his gift for combining explanations of the most esoteric concepts with storytelling and character study, and his take on Linde is a perfect example. The physicist comes across as a brilliant, brash individual who, for all his devotion to science, retains the need to pursue beauty in other forms. During a visit, he sits Lightman down to show off the photographs on his Flickr page. This work with the camera, Linde says, "allows me to feel another part of my brain. There is something beyond physics that is not measurable. … Photography is my art."
Another pleasure of Lightman's essays is his own distinctive voice: earnest, even reverent at times, but often with a touch of twinkly humor. There's never a trace of academese in his work, and he tends to enliven the weightiest topics with little anecdotes. For example, a discussion of "cosmic biocentrism" includes a story about trying to use pieces of fruit to explain a solar eclipse to his 4-year-old granddaughter, who innocently asks, "Can you show me that on the computer?" And it's not at all rare to run across a memorable line that would make a good literary tattoo — e.g., "There's always room at the infinity hotel."
Lightman, a Memphis native, is a polymath of a sort rarely found these days: a scientist, novelist, poet, philanthropist, and — though he might not embrace the label — philosopher, with a keen sense of both the power and the limits of reason. In a contentious, noisy time, his graceful instruction is a gift.

Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster UK, has acquired What Would the Aunties Say? by social media influencer and podcast host Anchal Seda at auction.
What Would the Aunties Say? is described as a "taboo-shattering guide to leading your best life" and is inspired by and named after the "brown girl problems" feature from Seda's podcast of the same name. Drawing on experiences from her own life, she "writes about everything from beauty and appearance to inter-racial dating, colourism and gender equality, all written with her trademark humour, warmth and wisdom". The book is illustrated throughout with black and white line drawings.
Fritha Saunders, editorial director at S&S, acquired world language rights from Natalie Jerome at Aevitas Creative Management. Saunders commented: "I love Anchal's approach to life – she's warm, fun and intelligent and not afraid to shy away from the more serious issues. Her naturally reassuring voice, wit and wisdom make Anchal the perfect 'older sister', able to offer life advice, tips and share hilarious moments from her own life with her readers."
Seda is a professional makeup artist and podcaster from London with more than 200,000 YouTube subscribers and 110,000 followers on Instagram. Her podcast "What Would the Aunties Say?" helps young women of South Asian heritage to navigate modern life among more traditional, older family members and friends.
She said: "I never would have imagined that I'd be releasing a book, let alone one that I feel is so needed! I'm extremely excited for everyone to read it and feel like it's something they can turn to whenever they need a little laugh or even some advice."
The book will be published in August 2021.

PORTSMOUTH originally owned by William Williams, who built a log cabin here in the 1860s. Originally known as "Cologone Settlement" and in 1886 it moved into Portsmouth and was platted on August 17, 1882, by the Milwaukee Land Company. The village was incorporated in 1883, with A. W. Sims as the first mayor. A post office was established in 1882 with George Walters as first postmaster.
Portsmouth is home to a variety of businesses. The largest is Leinen, Inc. a fertilizer and farm chemical company. Others include Shelby County State Bank branch office, G & R Feed & Grain, and Club 191 – a well-known restaurant and supper club.
St. Mary's Catholic Church – on the tour of the German Villages.
Originally built in 1890 of locally made bricks, it was destroyed by a tornado in 1940. The new church was constructed in Romanesque style in 1951 and included the Our Lady of Fatima Shrine. Construction materials include Ozark stone, Tennessee flagstone, and Carrara marble statues imported from Italy.
Held annually in June to celebrate the Church and Community.

I agonized over how best to raise the airframe to install the gear legs. I gathered some family muscle to lift it up onto a workbench, but aborted the attempt after it became clear we couldn't do the lift with enough control.
I borrowed a 500kg lift table, removed the handle, and made up a frame that provided support under both the main and rear spar. I wanted a backup in case there were any problems with the lift table, so I crudely extended the forks on the tractor, added a bit of padding, and held these an inch below the airframe, as shown. As it turns out, the table did fine and the tractor was not required.
I fitted the left main gear leg and wheel, then had to cut the old dolly apart (committed at this point!) to get it out of the way and fit the right main gear leg and wheel. After fitting the nose gear, I let the table down and the fuselage settled in a nose high position (because of the missing engine weight). It looks awkward like this, but it's still quite a milestone to get it up onto the gear.

Zambia's Sampa the Great Stops in DC on First North American Tour
Jack Angelo· April 2, 2022
StayUpNews
Often when talking about hip-hop, the conversation is limited to the United States, and perhaps some of the UK, but the genre is worldwide now. Hip-hop has touched nearly every corner of the globe. One of the rising stars of the global hip-hop scene comes in the form of Zambian-born, Australia-based artist Sampa the Great. Scoring accolades for years now, and with the pandemic concert cancellations mostly behind us, Sampa embarked on her first North American tour this year. She stopped in Washington D.C. on her second stop of the tour to headline the 9:30 Club on March 29, 2022.
Upon entering the 9:30 Club just before the show started, the crowd was sparse and dispersed. There was a lot of empty space and not too many people standing around waiting. When the opener, KeiyaA unceremoniously came to the microphone and began singing, the crowd slowly gathered toward the front of the venue to watch. After a song, KeiyaA introduced herself, and explained that she produces her own music. She embodied a refreshing DIY spirit on a large stage like the 9:30 Club. KeiyaA sang through sometimes rhythm-less instrumentals, occasionally evolving into screaming outbursts of emotion. The crowd seemed to be watching the show like a coffee house poetry night, quietly listening and contemplating, with some members of the crowd even snapping at lines powerful to them.

More arrived during the opening set, filling the space a bit before the headliner came. The crowd was still sparse enough to spread out, and respectful enough not to crowd each other, even during the most intense moments of music. After about 40 minutes of down time between sets, used to set up a Sampa the Great banner at the rear of the stage. A mic stand with the Zambian flag that had been on stage since the beginning was moved to center.
Sampa's band took the stage first, each arriving at their respective instruments, tuning and checking everything before the performance. The band began to play, and Sampa entered swinging to the rhythm. She introduced her fully Zambian band, then played through her catalog, from the relatively old to unreleased material. Sampa took the time between songs to speak to the audience about herself and her art and thank them for the opportunity to tour the United States for the first time. She explained how important certain types of songs were to her, slowing things down in the middle to play some more introspective material.
Sampa the Great's name is no lie. Her performance is dynamic and interesting, and even if the crowd was a little sparse that evening, that is not a reflection of her talent. The diverse, appreciative crowd was supportive from beginning to end, giving Sampa a taste of what's likely to come on the rest of her tour.

Entertainers and cheese lovers, it's time to celebrate. We are so happy to finally reveal we've added a couple of top notch, French, authentic, rich, smooth, buttery, gooey and utterly delicious white rind cheeses to the Food Snob range. Our new Food Snob products Classic French Camembert and Classic French Brie come from the Limousin region in France, and are available on supermarket shelves up and down the country as of this week.
When we whispered the news to a few trusted friends in advance, a common question was asked of us…. Just what is the difference between brie and camembert, and which one should I choose? Naturally, we recommend you try both of our new French beauties, but of course we'd say that!
The very short answer is that brie has a creamier texture, and camembert is more robust. Brie will mature to an extent and become more and more gooey, but camembert will strengthen in flavour as it matures. It's mainly down to individual taste, and you'll find some of your guests will prefer one over the other and many will love both.
We've been working with a talented chef to bring you some stunning recipes which feature these new cheeses – be sure to click through to these and put a couple on your upcoming weeknight and entertaining menus.
TOP TIP – cheeses are at their best for eating around 40 minutes after being removed from the fridge. Be sure not to put in the hot sun or next to the oven though – aim for room temperature.
And a final note – it's really important to us that we offer our products at a palatable price for our customers. We hope you'll enjoy these as much as we do.

Microsoft, Intel and Nokia are some of the companies whose 'sonic logos' are catching your ear.
BOSTON (TheStreet) -- "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce cheese ..."
"Plop plop, fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is ..."
"I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner ..."
No matter how many custom ringtones and MP3 files we cram onto our hand-helds, one sound still persists as the definitive cell phone ring -- the Nokia tone.
Music is a memory trigger, something companies have understood for years, pumping out catchy jingle after jingle to extol the virtues of their products. No less a song master than Barry Manilow has composed dozens of stuck-in-your head ads for McDonald's ( MCD - Get Report), State Farm, KFC ( YUM - Get Report), Dr Pepper ( DPS and Band-Aid.
Now corporate America is vying for your ears in a new way.
Audio branding, also called sonic branding, is an increasingly popular marketing and branding tool that uses carefully crafted sounds, songs and effects to add to company aesthetics and mnemonics. It goes far beyond the old-school approach of merely plinking out an ode to snack cakes on a piano.
"Audio logos" are hardly new. Certain sounds immediately make you think of a particular company or product: Intel's ( INTC - Get Report) dinging bongs, Apple's ( AAPL - Get Report) start-up chime, the ever-present Nokia ( NOK - Get Report) ringtone. The modern twist is the full and intentional strategy that goes into these creating sonic backdrops.
Audrey Arbeeny is owner and executive producer of Audiobrain, a New York company specializing in sonic branding. It has worked with McDonald's, won an Emmy for its music supervision for NBC's Beijing Olympics broadcast and created the start-up sound for Microsoft's ( MSFT - Get Report) Xbox 360.
For Arbeeny, sonic branding is all about "bringing consistency of experience and authenticity to the voice of the brand."
The music or sound portion of their service is actually one of the final steps in the process, coming after a blueprint of a company's identity, strategy and competitive landscape is laid out.
"We don't one-off anything," she says. "We wouldn't be a company somebody would call to just demo a commercial."
The increasingly complex modern business landscape and rapidly evolving nature of media and technology makes having a full audio strategy very important, Arbeeny says.
"The audience has so many places where that brand is touching them sonically," she says. "You have apps. You have anything having to do with mobile. You have products going inside of other products, such as Pandora getting their music selections based on your Facebook friends. There is such a cross-pollination, and you need people to know you are in there."
"A lot of people think it is just a logo, but it is more than that," she says of a managed, scalable and consistent audio strategy. "It is the voice that's on hold. It is the music that's on hold. It's the voice that answers your call center. It is what's playing, or not, on your website. It is what's happening at your conferences and at your exhibit booths."
The Xbox project is an example of how a well-crafted audio logo can accomplish multiple goals. Among the intentional flourishes was adding a "human breath at the end."
"Their sweet spot at the time was Xbox Live and the human interaction," she says, "that they were not a gaming console, but a 'living entertainment system powered by human energy.' The way it is crafted, you can hear it in a theater in surround sound and you can also hear it as a sonic fingerprint at the end of an EA ( ERTS game commercial where it's there for just a split second."
What follows is a selection of sounds that have become synonymous with their companies over the years, as well as the stories behind them.
A simple, three-note, xylophone chime is as much a part of television network NBC's pop culture identity as its "in living color" peacock.
NBC wasn't the first to use such a sound as a station identifier. In the 1920s, radio station WSB in Atlanta, owned by the Atlanta Journal newspaper, is believed to be the first to use a dinner chime (a then popular way to summon diners on cruise ships, railroad cars and wealthy households) as part of its mandated, top-of-the-hour station identifications.
As NBC's network of stations grew national in scope, well-known radio announcer Phillips Carlin is widely credited as bringing such chimes coast-to-coast as part of the company's sonic hook. A popular but unsubstantiated myth about the order of the notes, G-E-C, is that they were a musical shout out to the General Electric Corp. ( GE - Get Report).
Over the years, the network has experimented with variations of the familiar tones, including four-, five- and seven-note variations. In 1950, with a first-of-its-kind filing, NBC secured a parent for the musical hook as an "audible service mark."
The network stopped using the notes in promos In 1971 but brought them back in 1976 as part of a 50th anniversary celebration. Since that time, the ditty has once again become ubiquitous.
An in-depth history of the famous bongs can be found at RadioRemembered.org and NBC Chimes Museum.
In 1988, the Austrian band Eelweiss scored a best-selling dance single (No. 1 on European charts) with Bring Me Edelweiss, a frenetic mash-up of ABBA's SOS and Indeep's Last Night a DJ Saved My Life, layered with a healthy dose of yodeling and cowbell.
Walter Werzowa, a member of the band, scored a much bigger "hit" with a much shorter tune a few years later: the three-second, four-note (five, if you count a chime that precedes the main melody) "Intel Bong," as it is known.
Since 1994, by Intel's reckoning, the "song" has been played more than a billion times worldwide, making it among the most heard tunes in history.
The proceeds from Edelweiss' success prompted Werzowa to move to Los Angeles. When a friend working on an ad campaign for Intel tapped him to tackle a musical hook, the result was a corporate branding phenomena (even though its architect claims that, as a Mac user, he had never heard of the company). Each year, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by Intel on commercials that incorporate the song (a recent version performed a cappella by "employees") and to subsidize its inclusion in ads by various computer manufacturers.
Werzowa has parlayed the success of the Intel tune to found the L.A.-based music production studio Musikvergnuegen. In addition to composing music for films and television (including Arnold Scharzeneggers' Eraser) he has been active in the field of sound branding, which he describes on the site as "mnemonics," for such clients as Verizon's ( VZ - Get Report) FiOS, Avaya and ESPN's 2010 World Cup coverage.
If you spend any time at the cinema, you've undoubtedly heard what is known as "Deep Note," the signature sound of the THX sound system that equips better theaters.
The company, part of Lucasfilm, introduced its building crescendo (think of it as a high-tech brethren to the final, interminable piano thud in The Beatles' Day in the Life) with the 1983 release of Return of the Jedi, and variations have kicked off a night at the movies ever since.
The sound was the creation of Dr. James Moorer, an Oscar- and Emmy-winning sound engineer. From 1980-87, he was vice president of research and development for Lucasfilm DroidWorks, where he developed the Audio Signal Processor, a large-scale digital signal processor. Only one prototype was ever built, but sounds processed by the ASP were used in a variety of Lucasfilm productions.
In an interview with the website MusicThing, Moorer said the desire was to craft, in the words of a producer, "something that comes out of nowhere and gets really, really big." Doing so used the ASP and required tens of thousands of lines of computer code, the waveform from a digitized cello tone and a slew of harmonic and oscillation effects.
The sound has taken its place in the pop culture lexicon, sampled by rappers (including Dr. Dre, who was sued for his appropriation) and parodied by such diverse sources as Sesame Street and Tenacious D.
Not every effort to craft a sonic brand is successful.
Back in 2007, Mercedes-Benz, as part of an effort to revamp its image, launched an operatic "acoustic trademark" with an ad campaign for its E-Class vehicles.
In a press release at the time, the company's vice president of brand communications said: "Our new sound logo is going to make the Mercedes-Benz brand not only visually, but also acoustically distinctive, and thus more quickly recognizable. This acoustic trademark is a perfect fit for Mercedes-Benz -- it is emotional, elegant and unmistakably associated with our brand."
The Mercedes-Benz sound logo was based on an original recording of an English boys choir from the 1990s, the company explained. Sound engineers extracted a choir boy's solo vocal from the recording and adapted it for use in the sound logo.
Two years later, Mercedes did an about face and yanked the logo, offering a rather weak response that the decision was made because, in essence, its brand is so strong that it didn't need any help.
Dating back to the Quadra 700 in 1991, the familiar Mac start-up chime has been a component of the Apple experience (at least on desktops; it is conspicuously absent from iPhones, iPods and iPads).
Though variations on the start-up sound existed before, the noise most are accustomed to was composed and recorded by Jim Reekes, a programmer and driving force behind System 7, Quicktime and a slew of system sounds. The C Major chord, bursting with low bass and a chiming crescendo, has been described by its maker as a "palate cleanser" of sorts. It was not just meant to be aesthetically pleasing when you hit the power button, but to be reassuring when a crash forced a restart.
When the company parted ways with Steve Jobs in the 1990s, it also veered away from the familiar chime. Among the moves made by Jobs when he returned to the company in 1997 was that the sound would once again take its rightful place across the entire line of desktops.
ESPN's Sports Center theme, a full musical piece, has been distilled into just a handful of notes over the years. In doing so, it has evolved from a theme song and jingle into a sound bite synonymous with the network.
It's a constant presence on the network's channels, and it's difficult to watch a college game where the catchy jingle doesn't get a brassy treatment by the marching bands.
The catchy tune was composed by Annie Roboff, an award-winning songwriter behind hits by Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Bonnie Raitt, The Indigo Girls, Tim McGraw and The Dixie Chicks.
In addition to her radio-friendly efforts, Roboff has had an illustrious career writing and arranging themes for sports and news shows and TV movies. Her credits include college football themes for ABC ( DIS - Get Report), CBS ( CBS - Get Report) and TBS ( TWX, the 1984 Olympics and ABC's broadcast of Prince Charles and Lady Diana's Wedding.
Included in her resume was the Sports Center theme -- except that isn't what it started out as. The song was composed for the Satellite News Channel, a would-be CNN competitor co-owned by ABC and Westinghouse Broadcasting. After its speedy demise, its musical asset was sold to the fledgling sports network, now owned by Disney.
No matter how many custom ringtones and MP3 files we cram onto our hand-helds, one sound persists as the definitive cell phone ring -- the Nokia tone.
But for something that has become synonymous with modern telecom, the tune itself is quite ancient. It dates back to 1902 and was a snippet from a composition, Gran Vals, by Spanish classical guitarist Francisco Tarrega.
The company introduced it as one of 27 ringtones included with 1994's Nokia 2100 series. With Gran Vals used to score a TV commercial at the time, the company did its best to promote the piece as part of its brand identity.
The monophonic ringtone became a global phenomena because of the tremendous success that phone had. Nokia's target for the model had been 400,000 units; more than 20 million were actually sold.
Despite its origins, Nokia managed to trademark the stuck-in-your head tune.

I do not know how it is for others, but I when I think of Cluj, to mind comes interesting cafes and cozy clubs where good will lasts until the morning, and many people are cheerful.
From the many places offered by the city, I always liked to find a nice place, with warm people, an interesting atmosphere, and good coffee, where one can feel at ease. Recently I found a match. I am speaking about People Pub, a mix between café and pub, with good taste, good music, and warm people.
Located on David Fernec Street, no. 13A, People Pub is the place where you can enjoy a delicious coffee, you can drink a refreshing cocktail, celebrate winter with a fragrant mulled wine, while in the evening you can dance and have fun with friends from various organized parties, and if you're a fan of retro music then obviously, you've found the place where you want to move.

English is one of the school's most successful departments at both A Level and iGCSE, often attaining results that exceed the school's average. In Summer 2016, 93% of pupils achieved an A* to A grade in English Language iGCSE, and 84% of pupils achieved A* to A grades in English Literature iGCSE. 76% of students studying A Level English Literature attained an A* to B grade.
It is not simply the pursuit of academic success that drives and defines the department. As a team of specialists (covering a wide range of literary interests), English strives to encourage pupils to develop a lifelong passion for literature; we also focus upon developing their practical abilities to write in a variety of genres, for a number of different audiences and for a number of different purposes.
We believe that the study of literature from different genres, periods and authors helps to develop pupils' moral and emotional sensibilities. By considering the plight and experiences of fictional characters, pupils come to appreciate the hardships and affliction of others. Literature encourages the pupils to develop a greater sense of compassion, tolerance and understanding towards those of different faiths, races, socio-economic backgrounds and also periods in history. As a result of studying novels, plays and poetry from different periods in time, the students can develop a sense of how attitudes and beliefs have changed over the centuries.
This study naturally provides a powerful forum for discussion and our pupils are given the opportunity in class to reflect upon the themes and ideas that are addressed in the literary texts that they have studied. This sharing of ideas champions self-expression, whilst also fostering a respect and tolerance towards the view and opinions of others.
Also, through the opportunity to write creatively, pupils are given the chance to find their own voice and mode of expression.
The department teaches in a suite of rooms based in the George Hill Building, all of which are equipped with interactive white boards and audio visual facilities.
We follow a curriculum of our own devising which focuses on the key skills that lead to examination success: writing accurate extended prose; reading with understanding; fluent oral expression tailored to a particular audience.
Pupils follow a course of study that ensures they engage with prose, poetry and drama in their formative years.
We follow the AQA specification, for both English Language and Literature. All pupils take examinations in both disciplines at the end of their Upper Fifth year.
Texts studied include Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Shakespeare's Macbeth and J B Priestley's An Inspector Calls. Pupils also have the opportunity to study a collection of poetry and prepare for an unseen response.
A further part of their GCSE course is the opportunity to complete a Speaking and Listening qualification, awarded alongside their other studies.
We follow the Eduqas English Literature syllabus. Texts range from the poetry of John Donne and John Keats, alongside some of Shakespeare's greatest work, to more contemporary texts by authors such as Mohsin Hamid and Colm Toibin.
The course is structured into four clear sections: a prose element (studied as coursework); a drama element (incorporating the study of a key Shakespeare text); a poetry element (including the study of more contemporary writers) and an unseen examination of both prose and poetry.
Our 'Scribbling Nibblers' creative writing club is popular with younger pupils. Students enter a range of writing competitions, and the 'English Society' is flourishing and attracts a range of impressive speakers. This society caters primarily for our Middle School and Sixth Form pupils; offering exciting insights into the realms of academia and further study, as well as supporting their current courses. This is enhanced by the provision of 'English Plus', an extension group in the Sixth Form for those wishing to study English at university – perhaps at Oxbridge.
We also now offer a 'Writer's Room' creative sharing and editing club, on a half-termly basis for our Sixth Form students.
Pupils in the Lower School who would like further assistance and support with their studies can attend a weekly 'Literacy Club', where topics regarding punctuation, grammar and spelling are explored through games and other activities.
Pupils attend Lecture Days at local universities to widen the student's literary experience. Theatre trips are also run to bring set texts to life. Recent trips include productions of Richard II at the Royal Shakespeare Company, as well as journeys further afield to London to see productions at The National Theatre. In order to support the study of exam texts other recent productions include: R C Sherriff's Journey's End, J B Priestley's An Inspector Calls, Sophocles' Oedipus and Shakespeare's King Lear.
In recent years students have gone on to read English at Durham, Exeter, Manchester, Oxford, Queen's Belfast, UCL, and York amongst other universities.

The V8 GT Race Car was previewed in the paddock at the 2000 AMOC St John Horsfall race meeting. Whilst not a factory development as such, it had been constructed by David Ellis who had been involved in racing Aston Martins for some time. The car sat on a carbon fibre monocoque tub with a steel tubular front subframe and push rod suspension. It was clothed with a carbon fibre body loosely based on the 1990's Vantage. The front mounted Aston Martin Virage V8 engine with four-valves per cylinder and race specification fuel injection was designed to deliver 700 bhp. Weight was an impressively low 950 kg, with fuel.


Negative emotions like "sad" or "angry" have been stereotypically applied to the elderly for years. But a new study suggests that older people don't actually exhibit higher degrees of sadness or anger when compared to other age groups – we just assume they do because of their wrinkles.
Researchers at Penn State University had study participants examine 64 faces and rate them based on the level of emotion they expressed.
The results revealed that participants were far more likely to rate older adults as more angry or sad compared to photos of younger people – despite the fact that all faces exhibited neutral expressions.
Facial wrinkles can cause the mouth to drop and the brows to furrow, features that others may perceive as anger or sadness, said study researcher Carlos Garrido, a doctoral student in social psychology at Penn State University.
Additional research is needed to confirm these findings, but researchers believe the results are not due to stereotypes people may have about the emotional well-being of older adults.
This study goes to show that aging men and women who seek out cosmetic procedures like brow lift surgery, laser resurfacing or Botox injections are not simply doing so out of vanity.
Facial aging may actually present risks for older adults –especially in medical settings according to researchers. For instance, a doctor may misperceive an older patient to be in more pain than he or she really is.
If you're concerned about facial aging, there are a number of cosmetic procedures to choose from that can effectively treat wrinkles and sagging skin around the face and neck.
Early preventative treatments with Botox can help treat wrinkles before they begin to form, while dermal fillers like Restylane can add volume to the face and fill in noticeable creases around the eyes, mouth and forehead.

Kirkland Museum Celebrates Mo'Print – the Month of Printmaking

Artists across Denver are gearing up for Mo'Print — also known as the Month of Printmaking. Mo'Print is a biennial celebration of the art of printmaking. Printmaking is generally described as transferring artwork to paper through printing — yet there are a number of techniques on doing so. Printmaking is unique in that each print — while it may be of the same design — are each originals. Artists often appreciate small differences between prints — as printmaking is a unique process done by hand. What a photocopier may consider an error, printmakers consider art. Art galleries around Denver are providing exciting opportunities for celebrating this art form.
There are about 50 exhibitions celebrating printmaking throughout the Denver area. One of those exhibits — Process and Print — can be found at Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art. What stands out about this particular exhibit is the fact that visitors are treated to an in-depth look at the processes behind printmaking.
"I don't think everyone understands how prints are made and the process involved in it," said Christopher Herron, deputy curator at the Kirkland. "That's the strength behind this exhibit. Visitors learn the process and history."

While other galleries around Denver may be displaying prints, the Kirkland is taking Mo'Print one step further. Visitors to Process and Print will have the opportunity to learn about the various methods used to create fine prints. The exhibit features four of these methods — lithography, relief, intaglio and screen printing. Not only will you learn about various printmaking techniques — but you'll also find that prints are in chronological order. This was done on purpose — so visitors learn just how printmaking has evolved over the years.
"People who are printmakers can get a lot out of this exhibit. If you already know a lot about the art, you can learn more about the history aspect of it," shared Maya Wright, director of interpretation at the Kirkland. "But we also hope that if you're not familiar with printmaking, you'll come away with a greater appreciation for it."
Experienced printmakers will be sure to recognize familiar names at Process and Print. Artists such as Edward Marecak, Gene Kloss and Mark Lunning are just a few of the various artists featured in this exhibit. Yet this experience is just as valuable for those who may not have any sort of art background. The artworks featured are far from monotonous — from color to greyscale, portrait or landscape — each piece will be sure to resonate with someone.

The team at Kirkland hopes that Mo'Print will raise awareness towards this often under-recognized art form. A complete list of art galleries celebrating the Month of Printmaking can be found on the Mo'Print website. The printmaking community is holding events and displaying art throughout the month of March and into early April. Nearly every gallery — especially those in the Santa Fe Art District — have found a way to pay some sort of homage towards this fascinating art form. Art lovers everywhere are sure to find an exhibit that speaks to them.
Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art welcomes visitors aged 13 and up and is located at 1201 Bannock Street, Denver. Kirkland is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The "Process and Print" exhibit is open until April 5 and accessible through the purchase of a museum ticket for $10.

Returns for SP Energy Networks (SPEN) continue in line with expectations against record levels of investment. The RIIO ED1 distribution investment programme is delivering 3billion in the period 2015 to 2023, with the RIIO T1 transmission programme delivering 2billion between 2013 to 2021. During 2018 9 new windfarms (totalling 628MW) have been connected to SPEN's transmission network. Since the start of RIIO T1 over 1,900MW of new renewable energy has been connected.
Liberalised business had a stronger year in 2018, recovering from a difficult year in 2017. ScottishPower delivered a retail margin just over 3% while maintaining customer numbers above 5m - a strong performance relative to competitors in the sector. The company also invested heavily to improve customer offerings installing 1.2million smart meters, launching a smart Electric Vehicle chargers as well as its first Electric Vehicle time of use tariff.
Wind power production increased to 4,568Gwh - 9% higher than 2017. This follows the completion of a 650million investment programme to build eight new onshore windfarms in Scotland. In 2018 offshore construction work started on the 714MW East Anglia ONE project. First export of power is expected in 2019, with full operation during 2020.
"Last year was a pivotal year for ScottishPower as we completed the landmark journey from coal and gas to 100% green power by selling our generation business.
"ScottishPower has changed and we are proud to be different to others in our sector. It's clear our customers are backing our commitment to green energy and our investment in a cleaner healthier future as, unlike others, our overall customer numbers have remained stable in 2018."
"In 2018 all of our business areas performed in line with expectations demonstrating stability and growth.
"In renewables we saw the first full year of output following our investment in onshore wind in 2017 and this has seen an increase in electricity generated and excellent progress has been made on delivering the 2.5 billion East Anglia ONE project. We expect first generation of electricity this year.
"Networks also continue to see major investment. We are delivering a smarter and more robust grid system to support renewable energy connections, as well as planning for the anticipated increased uptake of electric vehicles in the years ahead.
"Our Liberalised business has improved significantly in 2018. Customer numbers have remained stable at 5million customers and we are looking to the future through our launch of our end-to-end Electric Vehicle package.
"ScottishPower now has a solid, green foundation across all our businesses to connect people to a clean, healthy and cheaper, all-electric future".

Undiscovered is a weekly playlist sharing our pick of the best new music from the world's most exciting emerging musicians. You heard it here first.
"Someone That I Made" by April
Irish star-on-the-rise, April, encapsulates the pain, fear, excitement and relief of growing up in her latest single. She said: "'Someone That I Made' is about being away from comfort and missing family and safe familiar places, it's about growing up and realising everything you need is already there no matter where you go".
"Oxymoron" by Lilah
London newcomer Lilah has dropped her 7-track debut EP 'Atlantis', a blend of R&B and indie that explores monogamy, inner conflict, growing up, introspection and acceptance. She said: "Atlantis is a place of refuse in between all these states of being. A place to simply exist and reflect. That's where I want to take everyone who hears it."
"18 & Over" by Nia Archives
Nia Archives flips reggae classic "Young Lover" on this new track, which digs into her Caribbean heritage. Self-described as a "future classic", we can't help but agree.
"Chance My Heart" by Eden Hunter
Pop princess in-the-making Eden Hunter has dropped this uplifting synth-pop bop all about following your dreams and never giving up on what's in your heart. Eden commented: "I think when you want something so much, you have to be prepared to take risks and put what you have out on the line. Writing this was a reminder to me to go after my dreams no matter what".
"What The People Want" by Dutch Mustard
Dutch Mustard's new track is a rousing, triumphant ode to individuality and empowerment. 'What The People Want' is about playing the system" says Sarah-Jayne, "A realisation that you can do anything, give the people what they want, and still stay truthful",
"Wyhg" by J Appiah
J Appiah darkly pairs guilt with exhilaration on the explosive "Wyhg", which is an acronym for "Where's your heart gone". He said: "Inspired by a relationship, it's a question I ask myself when I know I've done something wrong. I think everybody does".
"Eyes Wide Shut" by Sola
South London musician Sola has shared the delectable new single that fuses jazz elements with ambient electronics and R&B. Plus, it's self-produced which makes the track all the more incredible.
"In The Arms Of December" by Memorial
Brighton-based folk-pop duo Memorial have shared this tender, gently harmonised new single with a Christmas glow. They said: ""In moments of high stress, grief or imbalance in day to day life, we noticed our affinity with ghosts, afterlife or at least the presence of some ethereal energy, is always heightened..."This song was born out of one of those nights in mid-December, the festive season had truly kicked in but felt completely elsewhere".
"Payday" by Yard Act
Rising band Yard Act have dropped an invigorating banger in the shape of new single "Payday". James Smith said: "It's about gentrification, class fetish and how the human brain is so powerful that with enough time and processing power combined it will be able to justify, defend and/or continue to commit the actions of any human being it controls."
"Higher Calling" by kiskadee
London-based producer kiskadee shares this euphoric and atmospheric new single. He shared: "I came across the sample (Archie Thompson - Higher Calling), about a year ago during lockdown...I was inspired to flip it into the track after a recent trip to Printworks, being in the midst of euphoric bodies dancing the night away, almost transported to another plane".

-UPDATE----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just tried switching scenes in different places in the code, and I can switch scenes freely until the Function:
    - (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker     didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{
I think that function might be the problem.
So far, I have tried to:
1.switch scenes before taking the picture, and that works fine
2.I read that it might be because i was resizing the image, but commenting that out made no difference.
3.I've also added breakpoints before the scene switch, and the scene isn't nil
4.Finally i tred dismissing the uip UIImagePickerController, but that made no difference either.
Sorry for the long post /: if anyone knows whats going on any help would be really great.

A: Ok so I found the problem to be this line:
[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(writeImgToPath:) toTarget:self withObject:LevelImage];
}

Apparently some Parts of Uikit are not thread-friendly, so I'm now using just
 [self writeImgToPath];

And it works, hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

This is so insightful, Lynn. I've never taught little ones, but I've had two of my own and I can truthfully say there were certain characteristics that appeared not just when they were children, but the moment they were born! And these characteristics are still evident today when they are both in their thirties. Watching children at play can be very revealing. I hope it's possible to convince those born with not so pleasant tendencies that life is nicer for everyone if they change, but I don't think that is always so.

'Activism as brand strategy': Brands capitalize on Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal
Marketing on Facebook
March 23, 2018 by Shareen Pathak
With Facebook reeling after revelations that an app maker exposed millions of user profiles and then gave that user data to Cambridge Analytica, marketers, barring a few, have so far been mostly quiet about whether they will take action against the platform giant.
On March 23, consumer electronics company Sonos said it will pull advertising from Facebook, Instagram, Google and Twitter for a week and donate an undisclosed amount of money to RightsCon, a digital rights conference. The company didn't share how much it spends on those platforms, but said its Facebook spend is "significant."
Other advertisers that have pulled money from Facebook include Mozilla. COO Denelle Dixon wrote in a blog post that the company was "pressing pause" on its Facebook spend. Germany bank Commerzbank said it would do the same.
In a blog post, Sonos said the reason it won't permanently abandon those platforms is because it fundamentally believes in them: "We have found Facebook, Instagram, and other online platforms to be incredibly effective ways to reach our customers and to share our mission as a company — Not to mention stay in touch with friends and family in our personal lives," the company wrote in the post.
Greg March, CEO at media agency Noble People, calls it "activism as brand strategy." Unlike last year's YouTube crisis, where multiple major brands like AT&T pulled or at least decreased spend on YouTube and Google, the Cambridge Analytica scandal is less of a "house on fire." "I don't know the harm that brands are going to run into in a near-term way with Facebook," he said, "but I did know the harm when YouTube had nasty stuff on there and it was next to my advertising."
With Sonos, and any marketers that respond to the Facebook scandal, there has to be a specific brand strategy. Sonos cares as a brand about privacy — it has been vocal with issues like net neutrality and the idea of an open internet. "They're early, and they're putting their money where their mouth is," March said.
Elsewhere, brands are mostly quiet. A rep at a top media-buying agency told Digiday it's not seeing moves away from Facebook at this point.
A second media buyer also said no clients are pulling their ads from the platform. "Facebook's problem is with its users, not its advertisers," this person said.
Another media buyer said the only way his brands would pull advertising would be if users leave Facebook — and if history is to be believed, they won't. "If it didn't happen before this, considering all the scandals [Facebook has] had, it won't happen now."

Home Business Gas-rich Qatar has highest ecological footprint on the planet – WWF
Gas-rich Qatar has highest ecological footprint on the planet – WWF
Moign Khawaja

A new research published by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) said Qatar has the worst ecological footprint per person in the world.
The wildlife and environmental organisation also said that an ever-growing demand for resources by a growing population is putting tremendous pressures on our planet's biodiversity and is threatening our future security, health and well-being.
According to The Living Planet Report 2012, the leading biennial survey of the Earth's health, the gas-rich Gulf state was putting the biggest demand on the earth's ecological systems, despite having a limited 'biocapacity', or ability to regenerate resources.
The tiny desert nation's ecological footprint totalled 11.64 global hectares (gha), the area of land required to feed, exploit materials, produce energy, and get rid of the waste produced as a result of the activities.
Kuwait and the UAE closely followed Qatar which had footprints of 9.68 gha and 8.4 gha respectively. The average footprint in the UK is almost 5.4 gha per person.
"The ecological footprint is driven by consumer habits and the efficiency with which goods and services can be provided," said the report.
"An individual's ecological footprint varies significantly depending on a number of factors, including their country of residence… If all of humanity lived like an Indonesian, for example, only two-thirds of the world's biocapacity would be used."
The top 10 countries with the biggest Ecological Footprint per person are: Qatar, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, United States of America, Belgium, Australia, Canada, Netherlands and Ireland.
The report said that declines in biodiversity since 1970 have been most rapid in the lower income countries – demonstrating how the poorest and most vulnerable nations are subsidising the lifestyles of wealthier countries.
Decreasing biocapacity (a region's capacity to regenerate resources) will require a country to import essential resources from foreign ecosystems – potentially to the long-term detriment of the latter, it added.
Researchers questioned the strain human population is putting on natural resources, terming it unsustainable.
"We are living as if we have an extra planet at our disposal," said Jim Leape, director general of WWF International.
"We are using 50% more resources that the earth can sustainably produce and unless we change course, that number will grow fast – by 2030, even two planets will not be enough."

"This is a signal moment when scientists around the world are poised to solve some of the most important puzzles of the human brain," President Christina Paxson said in April, as the University announced a $100 million gift to Brown's brain science institute from Robert J. Carney '61 and Nancy Doerr Carney. The funding, which establishes the institute as one of the best-endowed university brain institutes in the country, will drive an ambitious agenda to quicken the pace of scientific discovery and help find cures to some of the world's most persistent and devastating diseases, such as ALS and Alzheimer's. "We will be able to crack the neural codes, push discoveries forward and address some of the largest challenges facing humanity, at the same time training the next generation of brain scientists," said Diane Lipscombe, director of the institute and a professor of neuroscience. The Carneys' gift changes the name of the Brown Institute for Brain Science to the Robert J. and Nancy D. Carney Institute for Brain Science. "Nancy and I have long been impressed by the phenomenal research and education of bright young minds that we see at Brown," Carney said. "We are excited to see the brain institute continue to grow and serve society in ways that are vitally important.
With up to 45 labs across campus engaged in research at any given time—and 130 affiliated professors in departments ranging from neurology and neurosurgery to engineering and computer science—Brown's brain science institute already has built a reputation for studying the brain at all scales, said Lipscombe. A signature program: cutting-edge efforts to help those who have lost the ability to move and communicate through paralysis to regain those abilities. "The breakthroughs we have seen in confronting paralysis could not have happened without the integrative approach that is distinctive to the way Brown approaches brain science," Lipscombe said.
The donation, one of the largest single gifts in Brown's history, will allow the Carney Institute to accelerate hiring of leading faculty and postdoctoral scholars, supply seed funding for high-impact new research, and also fund essential new equipment and infrastructure in technology-intensive areas of exploration.
"This is a transformative moment that is going to catapult Brown and our brain science institute," said Lipscombe, who is also president-elect of the Society for Neuroscience, the field's international professional organization.

Hague Tribunal legal definition of Hague Tribunal
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Hague+Tribunal
Hague Tribunal
Also found in: Dictionary, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia.
The Hague Tribunal was an Arbitration court established for the purpose of facilitating immediate recourse for the settlement of international disputes. As of 1993, the term is often used to refer to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), which has prose-cutorial and adjudicatory powers. Both entities are commonly referred to transitionally as the Hague Tribunal, although technically speaking, they are not the same.
The Hague Tribunal was established by the Hague Peace Conference in 1899 to provide a permanent court accessible at all times for the resolution of international differences. The court was granted jurisdiction over all arbitration cases, provided the parties thereto did not decide to institute a special tribunal. In addition, an international bureau was established to act as a registry for the tribunal and to serve as the channel of communications with respect to the meetings of the court.
The Hague Tribunal is considered permanent due to the fact that there is a permanent list of members from among whom the arbitrators are chosen. In 1907 at the Second Hague Conference it was provided that of the two arbitrators selected by each of the parties, only one could be a national of the state appointing him or her.
In 1993, the United Nations (UN) Security Council passed a resolution to establish within the Hague, Netherlands, an ad hoc international 14-judge court expressly mandated to prosecute and adjudicate War Crimes, Genocide, and crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the former Yugoslavia. This International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) is often referred to as the Hague Tribunal. (Subsequent resolutions have increased the court to 16 members as well as a special force of ad litem judges.) The tribunal is composed of three chambers and an appeal chamber. Judges are elected by the UN Assembly but are nominated for four-year terms by their respective countries.
The UN Security Council also chooses a prosecutor who, in the name of the tribunal, brings indictments. The tribunal has power to impose prison sentences up to life but has no power to impose the death penalty. Sentences meted by the tribunal are served in various prison systems of several nations with whom the tribunal has made formal arrangements. The tribunal has no policing power or police force and relies for these on the mandated cooperation of various states for arrests, documents, and compulsory producing of witnesses. It operates on an annual budget of approximately $100 million.
In its first ten years (1993–2003), the tribunal had indicted over 80 defendants (several in custody awaiting trial) and completed 34 trials, for which 29 persons were found guilty. (Of the 29 convictions, 18 were Serbs; nine were Croats; and two were Bosnian Muslims.) One of the more notorious defendants, former Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, faced 66 separate charges of grave crimes, including genocide and other atrocities allegedly involving Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, and Kosovo. His trial had been continuing for more than a year as of March 2003. Other completed trials included that of General Radislav Krystic, found guilty of genocide in the Srebrenica massacres of as many as 8,000 persons; Croatian General Tihomir Blaskic, found guilty of the massacre of villagers in Ahmici; and General Stanislav Galic, allegedly involved in the killing of civilians in Sarajevo. As of April 2003, two of the most wanted defendants remained at large: President Radovan Karadzic of the Bosnian Serb Republic, and Ratko Mladic, former commander of the Bosnian Serb army.

Hague Tribunal
Macveagh, Isaac Wayne
In laying bare the political dynamics and miscalculations about the region, Hartmann has used the Hague tribunal as a revealing microcosm.
Fugitive Serbian war criminals and the West
I reported (in Newsweek) in August 2001 that one of The Hague tribunal's indictments against a Croatian general stated charges that were 180 degrees at variance with what I and even the spokeswoman for the tribunal, Florence Hartmann, had reported (for Le Monde) at the time and knew to be the case.
Consequences occur when reporters testify; a reporter urges journalists to be better watchdogs of the war crimes tribunal process. (Watchdog)
Unspeakable acts were perpetrated -- indulged in -- in the belief that the criminals were above the law...The future viability of war crimes trials depends on the ability of The Hague tribunal to distinguish between the types of acts committed, and its courage to then act upon that distinction.

The lessons of Nuremberg and Tokyo in these two respects is examined and their contemporary relevance identified in the sense of the extent to which they have been recognized and addressed in the context of the establishment of the Hague tribunal. It is argued that the Hague tribunal is important not only for its capacity adequately to confront the events in the former Yugoslavia, but also in terms of a growing perception that its success or failure will determine the fate of the still unrealized project of establishing a permanent international criminal court.

Ever felt so overwhelmed by the complexity and the number of bets you can make at a craps table, but you still want to learn to play? That means, my friend, you have come to the right place. We will go through the basics of craps game just to get you prepared for smarter wins.
Later when you become more experienced, you can dive into more complex bets and wins. For now, let's study the craps table and its bets so that you become more familiar with it and especially with its dynamics.
For now, let's examine the craps table and its bets so that you become more familiar with it and especially with its dynamics. The game may be happening a bit too fast, in the beginning, so learning about its rules will set you up for less confusion.
Along the table, you will see the "Pass Line" that is for players betting with the shooter. Above the Pass Line, you will see the "Don't Pass Bar" for the players brave enough to bet against the shooter.
You will also see the "Come" and "Don't Come" which are almost the same as the Pass and Don't Pass bets, except you can bet at any time other than the come out roll.
The "Field" section is for when you want to bet that the numbers 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12 will come up next.
There is an area for one-roll bets to bet on a particular roll. That is where you will bet on a number like 6 to come as 3-3 before a 7 is rolled. In the corners of the table, you will see Big 6 and Big 8, to bet that a 6 or 8 will come up next before a 7 is rolled.
There are several types of bets you can make at a craps table, and each of them has different odds. The most basic bets, though, are to be placed on the "Pass Line" or "Don't Pass Line". Almost everyone bets on the Pass.
The first roll is called the come out roll. If the roll is 7 or 11 you win double the amount you bet. If the numbers that come out are 2, 3 or 12 come you automatically lose.
If any other number is rolled then it is called "The Point", then the shooter must roll the dice until the same number or 7 comes up. If the 7 comes before the point, then you lose, but if the point comes before 7 then you win.
The odds for the pass bets are 2 to 1 on points 4 and 10, 3 to 2 on 5 and 9, and 6 to 5 on 6 and 8.
Don't pass is somewhat the opposite of the Pass bet. This is a brave bet, because the player will win when the shooter is losing, and lose when the shooter is winning.If the come out roll is 2 or 3, then you win, but if the roll is 7 or 11, then you lose. If any other number is rolled, then it's called the same, the point, and then the dice is rolled again. If a 7 is rolled then you win, if the point comes out first, then you lose.
If the come out roll is 2 or 3, then you win, but if the roll is 7 or 11 then you lose. If any other number is rolled, then it's called the same, the point, and then the dice is rolled again. If a 7 is rolled then you win, if the point comes out first, then you lose.
The odds for the don't pass bets are 1 to 2 against 4 and 10, 2 to 3 against 5 or 9 and 5 to 6 against a 6 or 8. But after the shooter sets the point number, the odds swing back for the don't pass bet.
You may bet on any of the 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 numbers, called the Place Numbers. If any of the numbers you bet on come up before a 7, then you win. The numbers have different odds. For example, 6 and 8 pay 7 to 6, 5 and 9 pay 7 to 5 and 4 and 10 pay 9 to 5.
Buy bets are like Place bets but with different odds, and you will have to pay a commission of 5% of the bet amount, to make the bet.
Are basically like the place bets on 6 and 8, except that they pay 1 to 1 instead of 7 to 6.
Hard way means you rolled an even number with the same number of both dice, for example, an 6 is rolled as 3-3. The "Easy way" means you rolled an even number with different numbers on the dice, for example, 6 is rolled as 2-4 or 1-5. If you place a bet on hard way 6 you win if it comes up 3-3 and loses if it comes as an easy way, 1-5 or 2-4.
The hard way bets pay more money: the hard 6 and 8 pay 9 to 1, and the hard 4 and 10 pay 7 to 1.
There are many ways to play craps and win. Beginners and many other experienced players prefer to play craps the "right way". That means that they bet on the pass line with the shooter just like everyone does and are safer with the house edge of 1.41%.
Another way is to stand out and bet on the don't pass. This is called the "wrong way" of playing craps. Despite being called that, betting the don't pass gives you better odds of winning. Surprisingly enough, after the point is set the don't pass bettors have higher chance to win than to lose, with a casino edge of 1.36%.
Online casinos are great places where you can play craps right from the comfort of your home, or just whenever and wherever you like.
