The world's two oldest printing presses
Printing led to a huge increase in the speed of communication. The two oldest printing presses in the world bear witness to this process. They were built around 1600, and can be admired in the Museum Plantin-Moretus, more than four centuries later.
Home / Dive into the collection / The world's two oldest printing presses
The two oldest printing presses in the world are the earliest witnesses of a landmark moment in history: the invention of printing. These presses can be found in the Museum Plantin-Moretus. Their presence alone makes a visit to the Museum Plantin-Moretus well worth your while.
The printing shop was the very heart of the business. At the time of Christophe Plantin himself (around 1575), there were at least 16 presses. The business had 56 employees, and was the largest of its kind in the world at that time.
The oldest printing presses in the world
A total of seven printing presses stand in the printing hall, five of which are still in working order. The two oldest (and most battered) presses are 'retired'. They date from around 1600, making them the oldest printing presses in the world.
1,250 sheets per day
Which members of the family of printers would have been familiar with these presses? Definitely Plantin's son-in-law Jan I Moretus, and perhaps Plantin himself too. These presses printed 1,250 sheets on both sides per day. An average working day lasted 14 hours. For a long time, printers were paid piece-rate wages. It was therefore in their interest to put in long hours and print as many sheets as possible.
The printing works
The printing works is the heart of the Plantin mansion. It contains the two oldest printing presses in the world, dating from around 1600. The six other presses are still in working order. Discover the workflow of a 16th-century printing works here.
Discover the magic of the Museum. In mansion and printing press. In room and studio. In letters and typography. In beautiful books. Experience how, long before our digital age, words and images were spread around the world.
In the Museum Plantin-Moretus, the oldest printing presses in the world are not the only things to discover. The original lead type of fonts such as Garamond, the Gutenberg Bible and ancient manuscripts tell the story of how writing evolved into the art of printing. Portraits by Peter Paul Rubens hang on the walls and the house is beautifully furnished. Check out the indispensable highlights here.

Home › News › As Prescribed Blog › New Start, New You!
Summer is winding down and the kiddos are heading off to school again. The weather is turning and seasons are beginning to change. Most people work towards better health, loosing weight in the summer, and then once fall rolls around people tend to forget about these goals...right? If this screams you, you're not alone! Everyone tends to get beach body ready for the Summer, and slower moving in the colder months. Well what if instead of slowing down, we picked it back up again! There is truly so much to do in the Fall months that can still be easily done outside.
Here are 10 tips and tricks for staying active during the Fall weather!
1. Take Advantage of the Weather: Discover new hiking/ walking paths. Plan for your workout outdoors and if weather doesn't permit, make a plan B so you don't become discouraged. The Fall weather can be a great time to exercise outside. Instead of running in humidity, you can now run in crisp refreshing cool air that smells of apple cider and pumpkin spice. Yum.
2. Think Outside the Box: Your kids will tell you Fall is the season for learning something new, so why not do the same? Always wanted to learn the Tango? Been wanting to take a healthy cooking class? Needing to sign up for a personal training session? Want to try a new, out-of-your-comfort zone fitness class? Go for it! Now is the time to push yourself into a new box that will advance your health.
3. Be an Active TV Watcher: Many people are starting to get excited for their shows to begin or for Football season to kick off-I'm definitely one of them! Enjoy your shows and the games ahead, but be active while you do. Pick 5 different exercises and at every commercial break do one of them (tricep dips off the couch, hold a plank, push-ups, squats, etc.) Think about it, in a 1 hour show you have close to 20 minutes of commercial breaks that you can utilize. Take that time to be productive!
4. Integrate Exercise into Your Life: You already know the obvious; park further away, take the stairs instead of the elevator... Try to think a little harder on ways you can maximize your exercise: walk around with other parents at soccer games or take walking meetings. Take Dr. James Bruno's word for it,"Walking is one of the most under- rated exercises available. Few injuries are noted from walking exercise. Walking improves skeletal density, and helps avoid osteoporosis of our load bearing skeletal structures. Walking provides a cardiovascular workout. Look for a suitable surface such as level, mowed fields, or wood chipped trail. When studying large groups of people, those who participate in a walking program of at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week experienced an improved mood, and sense of well- being. There is nothing better than a fall stroll in Wisconsin with your friends, or pet dog. Explore our numerous state parks, and get out and enjoy our great outdoors."
5. Rejuvenate Yourself: Treat yourself to a full mind body and soul rejuvenation. Get a massage. Meditate. Buy a yoga mat and stretch more. Meet a new group of people. Challenge yourself in all areas of your life.
6. Stick to the 30 Day Rule: It takes about 4 weeks for the body to adapt to a lifestyle change, which is why people tend to give up on their fitness program within the first 30 days. Try to stick to a fitness routine for a month, after the month behavior patterns will have adapted and it will be much easier to stick with it!
7. Deal with Darkness: Lets face it, it's beginning to get darker earlier at night and staying dark later in the morning. Instead of holding that as a crutch, embrace it and work with it. Be safe and smart if you do go out in the dark and wear a reflective vest/ arm band.
8. Dress in Layers: You might start your workout outside feeling chilled, but once your blood is pumping you'll quickly warm up. Personally I suggest wearing 3 layers: first material being DriFit to wick moisture away, second should be a warmth layer, and third should be a protective layer like a wind breaker.
9. Find your Motivation: Try not to fall into the "keeping up with the Jones" mentality, and find what makes YOU motivated. Everyone has a different reason they get up in the morning, what will be your consistent reason to leave your warm cozy bed? Pick something that is grounded and honest.
10. Be Accountable: There is no better time than to join a running/walking/biking group. If you know that someone else is waiting for you, you're more likely to go! Put yourself out there, and hold your promise to those that need you for support too.

The legacy that Bruce Carrender leaves behind goes beyond his love of houseboating. On March 21, Carrender, age 63, passed away at the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital in Somerset, Ky.
Although involved in many different business and investments over his lifetime, he'll arguably be best remembered for helping establish the houseboat industry in his home state of Kentucky with his role as one of the original founders of Stardust Cruisers in 1983. Born and raised in Monticello, Ky., Carrender owned Monticello Yachts and Leisure Time Houseboats before founding Lakeview Yachts in 1989. For more than two decades he operated Lakeview and will always be remembered for his dedicated work ethic and his desire to help others.
He is survived by his wife Shirley and their four daughters; Lisa Perkins, Sheila Hicks, Robin Lewis and Tiffany Patrick, as well as eight grandchildren.

The Pentagon Papers, formally New York Times Co. v. United States (No. 1873) and United States v. Washington Post Co., et. Al (No. 1885), represented one of the most remarkable cases in American history, in which the Supreme Court decided on First Amendment Grounds that prior restraint could not prevent publication of the Pentagon Papers, even though the information related to defense and national security. The case itself, from complaint to the U.S. Supreme Court decision, was decided in less than 16 days, a speed nearly unprecedented in U.S. history.
Thomas Emerson, also of Yale Law School, who himself would eventually file an amicus brief in the Supreme Court on behalf of Members of Congress. It happened however, that Bickel had been having lunch on the day the Pentagon papers were published with James Goodale, general counsel to the Times (they were discussing the case of Earl Caldwell, a Times reporter who was resisting court pressure to turn over source material of his reporting of gangs in California, and whose case eventually become part of Branzburg v. Hayes, the Supreme Court case that rejected the concept of a "reporter's privilege."). In the initial hearing for the Times, Judge Murray Gurfein (pictured right), who himself was serving his first day on the bench as a federal judge, listened to the arguments. Gurfein had been a former prosecutor, and had work with Justice Robert Jackson on the Nuremberg trials. In the arguments Bickel, who had taken the case as a Supreme Court expert, carefully structured his arguments so that the ultimate conclusions would be both favorable to appeal to the Supreme Court and would gain the votes of the needed justices. However, this strategy focused on long-term victory and short-term defeat, resulting in a temporary restraining order barring publication, and creating the first-ever government imposed prior restraint. No Pentagon Papers article appeared the next day, and instead, the Times, in accordance with the court's order, turned over a list of the contents of its papers to the Department of Justice, but not the originals, for fear of fingerprint or other analysis that might have given away the source. A hearing on the matter was heard by Gurfein that Friday in both open and closed session. Testimony was given for the Government through live witness who spoke to the contents of the Papers, including Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Dennis Doolin (who testified in both sessions, with as unhelpful a performance as depicted in Top Secret). For the defense, affidavits were submitted by reporters and editors. The Papers were also in the courtroom under guard by a Marine officer before being submitted into evidence, under seal from both the public and defense. The hearings lasted well past 11 p.m., with Gurfein to issue his decision the next day. But as Gurfein was holding his hearings, the Washington Post became the second paper in the country to publish the Pentagon Papers, and that paper was also prosecuted; brought to the federal district court in Washington, it had to defend against the government's motion for an injunction. Instead of simply joining the Post to the Times case, the Department of Justice decided that it would be better to keep the two cases on separate tracks. But the Post case was assigned to Judge Gerhard Gesell, a lucky draw for the newspaper, as Gesell himself had at one time been a reporter for the Times and in the course of his private practice once helped to represent the Post on another matter years earlier. Roger Clark, representing the Post, had a much easier time than Kevin Maroney, who was arguing for the government, and in the end, Gesell refused to order even a temporary restraining order, arguing that prior restraint was impermissible as a matter of law. Within two hours, a panel of three court of appeals judges for the D.C. Circuit was assembled, and began consideration of the order. After hours of discussion, the court finally ruled, at 1:30 AM, overruling Gesell's order, imposing an injunction, and ordering the Gesell to hold evidentiary hearings. It was this ruling that had literally 'stopped the presses' at the Post, which by that time had already been churning out copies of the next day's papers with the second installment of the series. After rushing for a clarification, the court allowed that installment to be printed, so the Washington Post for Saturday, June 19 carried one headline announcing the court's restraint on publication across the front of the same page on which one such prohibited article appeared. The day after the Post had its presses stopped, Judge Gurfein ruled in the Times case, in language that was more that was much more favorable, arguing that a 'cantankerous,' 'obstinate,' and 'ubiquitous' press was essential for the workings of democracy and rejecting the injunction. The prosecution team, led by Whitney North Seymour immediately appealed, and Judge Kaufman of the Second Circuit immediately extended the restraining order until Monday so that he could summon a three-judge panel over the weekend to hear the appeal, and eventually an en banc hearing would be scheduled for that Tuesday. Back in Washington, Gesell was annoyed at being ordered by the Circuit Court's order to hold hearings, and sought to do so as quickly as possible. He held two conferences in advance of a Monday hearing to be held in both open and closed session. When Gesell ordered the government to produce the individual who had ordered the document classified, the government claimed that it did not know, but instead produced affidavits from witnesses, including Doolin. But in the end, Gesell still ruled against the restraining orders Both cases were now before en banc panels of appeals courts at the same time. In the Second Circuit case, Bickel's team had produced an 83-page brief and Seymour's office producing a top secret "Special Appendix" that detailed the national security implications of the publication. At argument, Bickel was continually questioned heavily by Chief Judge Friendly, and the prospects for the case were looking dim, with the panel prompting the prosecutor into a recitation of the many lawful channels for obtaining government documents, including the FOIA law. In the D.C. case, the Justice Department asked Solicitor General and former Harvard Law School Dean Erwin Griswold to argue the case personally, though was also faced a much more hostile bench, with Judge Roger Robb asking, given the multiple newspapers now publishing, whether the government wanted the court to "ride herd on a swarm of bees." Both courts extended the temporary restraining orders before deliberating. In the end, the Second Circuit voted 5 to 3 to send the case back to Gurfein for more review of material presented in the Special Appendix, with ruling due in 10 days. The D.C. Circuit eventually voted 7 to 2 against the restraining order and in favor of the Post.
Both cases were appealed, and at the June 24 conference, with several justices voting by phone since they had already left for vacation on what was to be the last Friday of the term, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to hear the case the following day, with briefs due. In granting certiorari, the court also gave the condition that the newspapers could resume publishing, as long as the information that the published did not appear on a list of particularly harmful documents prepared by the Justice Department, but when prepared the list was so long that the newspapers refused to accede such editorial control, and did not publish any further articles. At the start of oral arguments, the Court announced that it would not be holding any part of its session in camera, as the lower courts had done, but it accepted a "Secret Brief" prepared by the government. Arguments featured Griswold for the Government, Bickel for the Times, and William Glendon for the Post. (Griswold had been one of Bickel's professors when he was a student at Harvard Law School). Although Griswold focused on the stolen nature of the documents, and Bickel was forced to concede that there could be some cases in which prior restraint for preservation of life was desirable, both sides were criticized by First Amendment purists like Justice Black and Justice Douglas. The decisions followed three days later, with ten separate decisions: one per curiam decision of the court, and each Justice writing separately. Several summaries of the decisions are available. Because of the wide range of views even among the majority, the case law left several unanswered questions, but it did settle, by a vote of 6 to 3, that newspapers were free to resume publication.
Although these lines were dicta, and therefore not binding as matters of law (they were followed by the line: "These limitations are not applicable here."), the government sought to assert that the Pentagon Papers would fall within this class of cases. The Court roundly rejected that claim, found that the wartime publication was not a substantial factor for their consideration, and determined that the government had failed to meet its burden of proving that the publication would lead to irreparable harm to the nation. The following day, publication resumed. Prior restraint has never been successfully achieved since.
On the same day that the Supreme Court vindicated the rights of newspapers to publish the information leaked to them by inside government sources, that same source, Daniel Ellsberg, was charged with theft and espionage. The criminal trial which followed, in which Ellsberg was defended by Harvard Law Professor Charles Nesson and anti-war attorney Leonard Boudin, was prosecuted by U.S. Attorney David Nissen. The case was heard by Judge William Byrne, Jr., a former prosecutor who had been the youngest judge appointed to the federal court at the time, and was in his first year on the bench; the judge's father, William Byrne, Sr., was also a judge in the same court, with a courtroom just down the hall from the younger Byrne's. From the start, however, the case was plagued with delays. In August, Anthony Russo, an Ellsberg associate, refused to testify and instead served six weeks in jail as result of a contempt order. When it was determined that he would not speak, after those six weeks, a second superseding indictment was delivered, naming him as a co-conspirator, and charging Ellsberg with crimes of maximum of 115 years and Russo with 25 years. The trial didn't begin in earnest until the middle of 1972, and then in the middle of the trial, Ellsberg had reason to believe that his phone calls had been intercepted, and raised an objection under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which Judge Byrne denied, and which was subsequently appealed to the Supreme Court. When the Supreme Court denied certiorari on the wiretap question in November of 1972, Byrne declared a mistrial on account of delay, and a second jury was empanelled. However, when the case resumed again in 1973, after evidence had been presented, Byrne learned that Nixon operatives from the White House Special Investigations Unit ("Plumbers") had broken into the office of Ellsberg psychiatrist Lewis Fielding in an attempt to discover discrediting information. This, combined with information that Nixon Administration officials had approached Byrne in the middle of the case with an offer of an appointment of FBI directorship for him, which could have been viewed as an effort to influence the outcome, a mistrial was declared and all charges were dropped do to extreme government misconduct. That ruling didn't come until May of 1973. Charles Colson, of the Plumbers, eventually pleaded 'no contest' to the break in charges.
While it is still an open question as to how dangerous the Pentagon Papers were to America's national security, or how dangerous the courts believed them to be, or even how dangerous the government actually believed them to be, the case was unique in that it dealt with two of the most respected and institutionally trusted publishers of information in the country, and the information being published was of an historical nature. The ruling in the Pentagon Papers case in fact gave the newspapers editors incredibly wide latitude on what it could publish, and essentially gave them the discretion to determine which secrets were safe for public consumption. Would the case have been different if the publishers had been less universally recognized as 'trusted' sources, and if the information had been a bit more forward looking? One such example can be found in the Progressive case from 1979, in which a left-wing magazine obtained and sought to print detailed plans and instructions on how to make a hydrogen bomb—information that until that time had been secret. When the government learned of this plan, it initially tried to block publication with a restraining order. Their request was granted, and a trial was held with both open and closed sessions, but as the case wound through the courts, charges were dropped on the grounds that the information had ultimately been published elsewhere. In considering the newsworthiness of this information weighed against the harm it could potentially cause, the newsgathering responsibilities given to publishers by the courts is substantial, especially in an electronic age in which the internet is breaking down previous channels of traditional newsgathering techniques and restraint.
Leaked information and the balance between the free flow of information. The U.K.'s approach is an Official Secrets Act, which operates in a distinctly separate dynamic. While the British have a notoriously active press due to their more lax libel laws, their state secrets doctrine, as amended in 1989, explicitly forbids the public interest after a civil servant, who leaked information about naval activities during the Falklands War was acquitted by a jury. In contrast, when an "Official Secrets" Act was passed by the Congress in 2000, it was pocket-vetoed by President Clinton because of his expressed concern that such an act would not strike the right balance between secrecy and the free flow of information, or chill discussion. A similar bill was introduced in the 109th Congress by a coalition of 15 Republican Senators but did not pass. In the current Congress, a competing bill has been introduced by Senators Kennedy and Leahy.

Inspiring Leadership Forum 2021: Virtual Edition, presented by TD Speaker Spotlight on Dr. Jen Welter
By University Advancement and Communications Posted: February 9, 2021 8:00 a.m.

The 12th annual Inspiring Leadership Forum 2021: Virtual Edition, presented by TD is just under one month away on Wednesday, March 3! This year we are welcoming Dr. Jen Welter, the first female coach in the NFL, who will leave attendees feeling positive and motivated with her closing keynote presentation.
Year after year, the Inspiring Leadership Forum brings people together from Saskatchewan and beyond to hear the inspirational stories of internationally renowned leaders. Welter's presentation will be no exception.
The Inspiring Leadership Forum 2021: Virtual Edition, presented by TD takes place on Wednesday, March 3.
In 2014, she became the first woman to play running back in a men's professional football league with the Texas Revolution. The following year, she was named the Revolution's linebackers and special teams coach and helped lead the team through its most successful season in the franchise's history. In the summer of 2015, Welter was a linebackers coach for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, making her the first female coach in the NFL. She believes that playing for the Texas Revolution was the most courageous thing she has ever done.
"Playing in the men's game was never something that I set out to do, but we don't know what we're capable of until it's right there," says Welter. "I took the opportunity to do it because we as women had been doing so much in football for so long, and we had not been able to break through. I knew that if I play against these men, then it will open doors for all of these women."
Welter discusses her experience and success as a female coach in the NFL in her book Play Big: Lessons in Being Limitless from the First Woman to Coach in the NFL. She also continues to work to empower women and girls through football with her GRRRidiron Flag Football Camp, along with a number of other community-focused programs including Camp on the Corner, which brings football to youth in under-served areas.
Reflecting on her own experiences with leadership, Welter believes it's important for all women to show up and not let anyone's bias against them to be correct.
"Let your game speak. Let it speak louder than your gender, louder than your haters, and louder than your detractors," says Welter. "Women have a place in every conversation, at every table, and in every profession, and be prepared to kick glass when you get there. If anyone doesn't see you for your potential, let them regret it on the flipside."
Tickets are still available for anyone wanting to hear more from Dr. Jen Welter, along with Suki Kim and Holly Austin Gibbs, at this year's Inspiring Leadership Forum. Individual tickets are $75, and 100 per cent of the ticket proceeds will support the Inspiring Leadership Academic Entrance Award, a brand new, four-year $30,000 scholarship at the U of R. Visit the Inspiring Leadership Forum website for more information and to purchase tickets.

Influential sci-fi author Joanna Russ died recently, aged 74. She was one of the first not only to be a major name in a male-dominated market, but to write specifically feminist SF.
I was going to compare Joanna Russ to an author who wrote in the same period but is now much more famous: Ursula Le Guin. What I didn't know until yesterday was that Russ's blistering short story "When It Changed" was directly inspired by Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness. Le Guin tried to break down gender expectations by showing universality – in Left Hand she has a planet of genderless people. What Russ was infuriated by was that the pronoun "he" was still used in that novel by default.
Joanna Russ was not aiming for that universality – she was all about binary. Her message wasn't that gender expectations shouldn't be forced onto individuals, it was that women are oppressed by men. Right now. Le Guin was often much more subtle – despite many aspects of feminism (and anti-patriarchy) in her most famous books such as the Earthsea Trilogy, she wouldn't be as specific as this until she wrote Tehanu. In later novels such as Voices it is quite a few pages from the start of the book before the reader even discovers that the narrator is female – it is simply not important. With Russ, it was central and vital.
It's tempting to look at some of the first feminist SF in the 1960s and 70s as being too enthusiastic: less considered or accurate because it had to shout twice as loud and was opening new ground. Russ did shout loudly, but she was dead right, and wow could she show it.
I've heard one account personally (and another on the internet) of women reading When It Changed and crying in the bookshop. It is only 8 pages long, and describes the coming of four men to a planet which suffered a plague 30 generations ago; all the male colonists have died, and women now reproduce by artificial fertilisation. They marry, work, explore, fight duels, and it doesn't occur to anyone that men could be part of the picture. When the four newcomers greet them, their assumptions are so alien that the two groups can barely hold a conversation.
It won the Nebula award and was nominated for a Hugo. It is bitterly sad, and the men's repeated assurance that "they have sexual equality on Earth, now" doesn't even sound likely to the character saying it.
That female-only planet is an important part of Russ' best-known work The Female Man. There, it is one of four places which she uses to explore the situations women are imprisoned by and wonder what could be instead. There is a version of the real world (at the time of writing); a much poorer America where the female character's only hope for survival is marriage; the all-female planet from her previous short story; and a world where men and women are openly fighting a cold war against each other.
It is a staggeringly influential book. I can remember seeing it on every library sci-fi bookshelf since I was a child. The number of authors who quote it or write about it is huge.
There is an entire book named On Joanna Russ.
The explicitly binary approach I've mentioned above can read offensively now, though Russ also shared many ideas in common with third-wave feminism and was a voice in later decades too. She praised Buffy when it first started, and was positive about slash fiction. But Joanna's writing is not without its critics, especially regarding one aspect of The Female Man. There is a section (in the alternate world which has men and women openly at war) where any men deemed less masculine than others are used degradingly as 'substitute women' by the others. It is extremely offensive to trans people, and there is discussion online about how much this should count against Russ today. Her focus on a strict male/female binary was very much a product of the time, and she (quite truthfully) illustrated how men can bully those perceived as weaker, and how femininity in men is almost always linked with weakness, from the school playground onwards. (This is exactly what I was talking about in my post on modern alpha males, and why they can't allow themselves to ever be seen to be ruled by a woman, even briefly.) The issue of Russ's writings in the 70s is more complicated than that, though, and we're hoping to look at that decade's approach in more detail here on BadRep at some point in the future. Russ did, at least, retract her views in later life, albeit in an interview given at a convention rather than in any published work. For now, it should be noted that we're not recommending her work without reservation – there are criticisms which need to be recognised.
Generally though, she continued to be acclaimed as a feminist in recent years after producing non-fiction works such as How To Suppress Women's Writing and also further fiction. Her sci-fi isn't as famous with modern readers as I feel it ought to be. When I was scouring the library bookshelves as a child and teen, her name (highly ranked in Feminist SF circles) never came up as a force in mainstream SF. I think it deserves to – When It Changed hasn't lost any of its urgency or relevance, and I'll certainly be reading The Female Man this week.
Here's to a visionary and ground-breaking author who was able to brilliantly show the incredible web of assumptions and rules which not only affected women's lives, but affected how they were allowed to write about it. Rarely has someone been able to show men's assumptions as the intrusive, arrogant and bewildering prisons they can be.
I read "How to Suppress Women's Writing" last year and it was painful how true it was, and really comforting at the same time to have it all laid out like that. I definitely recommend it.
Hi, sorry I am late to this, and many thanks for the links.
Regarding the Russ apology, a reason why there is nothing in print is that she had been very ill for many years and wasn't able to write at all. Had she been producing more work I am fairly sure she would have addressed the issue, because she was never one to duck a controversy. I'm always more annoyed with feminists who still hold the book up as faultless than I am with Russ herself.


US telecommunications company IDT is boosting the international presence of Net2Phone, its Internet telephony product that has been the subject of rave reviews in the US.
Net2Phone allows any Net user to make full-duplex calls to anywhere in the US from 10 cents (about six pence) per minute because voice data is carried over the Internet until it reaches IDT's US telephone infrastructure. It is available for free download.
IDT public relations director Sarah Hofstetter said the product is targeted at small businesses and expatriate users. It has recorded particularly strong sales to students and other expatriates, including 80 US soldiers serving in Bosnia. "It's very hard to get big business because we can't penetrate firewalls and there is still a slight time delay," she said.
IDT is set to release a Macintosh version of the product later this month, to be followed by Net2Phone Direct, a service that doesn't require a PC. Net2Phone Direct should be running in the UK within four months, said Hofstetter: "We're currently working with people to set up switches and once we have that we'll have the service in the UK."
IDT hopes to expand its presence by a new direct marketing initiative whereby free accounts will be available to businesses who advertise their Net2Phone connection on Web site banners.
Through 1997, IDT plans to crunch the current 10.4Kbits/sec voice bandwidth to 3.4Kbits/sec, enabling better audio quality and less delay. Videoconferencing through White Pine's CUSeeMe software is also planned.

The Gunners will probably capitalize on their home court advantage when they face an aggressive Newcastle United. Unbeaten in its last twenty-four (24) home matches, the squad will try to seek redemption after succumbing to an (unexpected) defeat to Stoke. Already displaced from the league's elite, Arsenal has no excuse to lose the match despite disappointing thoughts that Newcastle United just gained the attention of many sports betting sites.
Beating the seemingly invincible squad of Jose Mourinho is a definite scene-stealer. Right now, the squad will use the said victory to inspire them in securing yet another victory in the top-flight league. Should they win, Newcastle gets the opportunity to outrank Arsenal in the Premier League ranking.
West Brom missed the chance to move farther away from the relegation zone after being held to a scoreless stalemate by Hull City. Indeed, these are the times when a draw fails to generate some improvements in a club's rank. What made the matters even worse was the fact that they are winless in their last five (5) matches.
If West Brom experiences a 5-match winless streak, Aston Villa, presents a different story. The squad is on its 5th undefeated match and has already veered away from the relegation zone, thanks to several draws and a couple of wins that the team generated. Certainly, they will not be easy on West Brom, but the squad also anticipates that their opponent will put up a good fight.

\section{Problem A} \label{sec:mm3_PbA}
\textit{MAXIMISING COVERAGE AREA. For a given radiated power, compare the coverage area of a single antenna system, $A_c^1$, to the coverage area of an M-antenna distributed antenna system, $A_c^M$. State the implications of the relation.}\\

We assume, that the minimum acceptable downlink power remains the same for both the single antenna system and the M-antenna system. Also, the total radiated power is constant, so it is divided onto the M antennas. The addition of an index M denotes the belonging to the M-antenna system, so for example $A_c^1$ is the coverage area of the single antenna system, while $A_{c}^M$ is the M-antenna system cell coverage area.
\begin{flalign}
&& P_{d_c}^1 &= P_{d_c}^M &\\
&& &=const. &\\
&&\frac{PL^1}{P_R} &=M \cdot \frac{PL^M}{P_R} &\\
&& PL^1&=M\cdot PL^M & \label{eq:pathloss_1_M}
\end{flalign}

The relationship between the path loss and the coverage area is given as:
\begin{flalign}
PL = C \left(\frac{A_c^1}{\pi}\right)^\frac{\gamma}{2}.
\end{flalign}

This can be inserted to \eqref{eq:pathloss_1_M} to find the relation between the coverage area in both cases.
\begin{flalign}
\left(\frac{A_c^1}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{\gamma}{2}}=M\cdot\left(\frac{A_{c}^M}{\pi}\right)^{\frac{\gamma}{2}}\\
\left(A_c^1\right)^{\frac{\gamma}{2}}=M\cdot (A_{c}^M)^{\frac{\gamma}{2}}\\
A_c^1=M^{\frac{2}{\gamma}}\cdot A_{c}^M \\
\frac{A_{c}^M}{A_{c}^1} =M^{-\frac{2}{\gamma}} \label{eq:ExpressionForAcWithM} \\
\frac{A_{c,total}^M}{A_{c}^1} =\frac{A_{c}^M\cdot M}{A_{c}^1}=M^{-\frac{2}{\gamma}+1}
\end{flalign}

The implications of this factor are shown in the following plots. In \figref{fig:Acm_M} the path-loss exponent ($\gamma$) is constant at 4 and the number of antennas is changed in order to see the impact on coverage area for each antenna. This is related to the transmit power needed from each cell antenna.
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acm_M.eps}{Coverage Area of one cell for multiple antennas vs. antenna number.}{fig:Acm_M}

In \figref{fig:Acm_PvsD} it can be seen how the coverage distance for each cell related to the transmit power.
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acm_PvsD.eps}{Transmit power per cell vs. distance.}{fig:Acm_PvsD}
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acm_PvsA.eps}{Transmit power per cell vs. area.}{fig:Acm_PvsA}
\FloatBarrier

The implication of this is that having a distributed antenna system have advantages when the following relation is fulfilled.
\begin{flalign}
\frac{A_{c}^2}{A_{c}^1} &> 0.5
\end{flalign}
This relates to \figref{fig:Acm_PvsA}. \\

In \figref{fig:Acmtot_M} it can be seen that using more antennas using the same transmit power will cover a larger area as also makes sense.
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acmtot_M.eps}{Total coverage Area for multiple antennas vs. antenna number.}{fig:Acmtot_M}
\FloatBarrier

In \figref{fig:Acm_gamma} it can be seen that using only two antennas can cover different area sizes dependent on the path-loss exponent. This might seem counter intuitive but if one were to include the interference as a factor it makes sense that having a larger path-loss will enable more power transmitted by the cell giving a larger coverage area. This plot is showing the impact for one cell and \figref{fig:Acmtot_gamma} is showing it for the total two cells.
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acm_gamma.eps}{Coverage Area of one cell for multiple antennas vs. PL coefficient.}{fig:Acm_gamma}
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acmtot_gamma.eps}{Total coverage Area for multiple antennas vs. PL coefficient.}{fig:Acmtot_gamma}

\FloatBarrier
In \figref{fig:Acmtot_gamma_M} a surface plot is showing the relation between the different parameters in play.
\fig[keepaspectratio=true,width=11cm]{Acmtot_gamma_M.eps}{Total coverage Area vs. PL coefficient and number of antennas.}{fig:Acmtot_gamma_M}


Dr. Cologgi graduated from The Ohio State University College of Optometry in 1991. She is an active member of the Ohio Optometric Association, the American Optometric Association and the College of Optometrists in Vision Development. She formerly taught optometry students at The Ohio State University College of Optometry pediatrics and vision therapy clinic. Dr. Cologgi has served as president of the Central Ohio Optometric Association and participates in Vision USA by donating basic eye health and vision care services to uninsured and low-income members of the community.
In 2006, Dr. Cologgi visited Nuevo Progresso, Mexico to bring optometric services to the town through a medical mission trip. Early in her career she traveled to nursing homes throughout Ohio providing vision care to elderly patients and she continues to serve them through the co-management of cataract and refractive surgery with several local surgeons. As a result of her experience caring for patients across all age groups she has developed a special interest in how nutrition affects the whole body and the visual system. Dr. Cologgi has been featured in Columbus Parent Magazine and has appeared numerous times on local television during her career. She has been involved in area school programs which demonstrate vision therapy and the visual system in a fun way to young children. She is known for her work with pediatric patients regarding how vision problems affect learning development.


Budapest (MTI) – Városliget Zrt, the company managing Liget Project, a scheme involving construction of a museum quarter in Budapest's City Park, has welcomed a resolution by the district council supporting the project and called on mayor Gergely Karácsony to come up with a "cooperation proposal".
In its resolution, passed on April 28 with a two-thirds majority of ruling Fidesz and opposition Socialist deputies, the council voted to support the contested project provided that "park functions are retained and renewed" with an increased green areas.
The resolution also obliged Karácsony, of the opposition Dialogue for Hungary party, to sign a cooperation agreement with the project company before May 31.
The mayor, however, said he wanted to use his veto against the decision which he said was "entirely against" his own principles and the environmental programme of the local leftist coalition.
In a statement, the local Fidesz group said that Karácsony had apparently "not managed to grasp" that the body has repeatedly expressed support for the Liget development.
On April 24, over 500 people protested against the project and demanded that plans to change the park should be dropped. Participants voiced concern over the trees cut down to give way to new construction and said the new structures would destroy the popular park.

Press Release, Tony Moore, We Are The Light
Posted bycciqpress July 2, 2019 Posted inUncategorized
You know, life can be a really tricky thing when you go over the years in your mind, how certain memories speak to us and we never know why until we receive ubiquitous signs of our past — at times guiding our future. As I said in my first interview with UK based Singer/Songwriter Tony Moore, about four years ago….
"When I was in high school during our Christmas concert, I wore a sparkly indigo-blue bowtie with a matching cummerbund, 12 pleated white tuxedo shirt, iridescent black pants and a covered denim jacket, ripped into a vest adorned with studs all over the front, on the back in shiny square studs spelt the name of the rock band "IRON MAIDEN" in large block letters. If someone had told me, back then, approximately 22 years later that I would have the good fortune to interview one of the original members of Iron Maiden, I would have cackled with laughter and called them CRAZY!"
I'd honestly felt as though my life had come full circle. I'd been listening to music by Tony Moore for the majority of my life and to be able to interview him. I genuinely felt extremely honoured.
The reason that I am taking this little delightful trip down memory lane is because, I wanted to share something truly sensational that had occurred during the European Games Closing Ceremony in Minsk, Belarus on Saturday June 29 at around 8:00 pm their time. I was able to see through the power of live streaming via olympicchannel.com Tony Moore with guitar in hand and Belrusian Singer Kristina Sventlichnaya on stage at the Dinamo Stadium. As they engaged all 20,000 audience members with a truly unbelievable performance of Tony's original song specifically written for the 2019 European Games "We Are The Light."
My daughter looked at me halfway through the performance and said, "are you crying?" and I totally broke down. Tony & Kristina we're singing with every fibre of their beings – it was so enjoyable and emotional to watch. I can imagine being inside the stadium the energy that this spectacular duo emanated light across it's vast audience.
Yesterday, Tony posted his press release with many details regarding his journey from his September 2018 visit to Belarus to his most recent debacle attempting to make it to Belarus in time for his actual performance. I asked Tony today if I had permission to post his press release directly on the blog –since I was moved by it so much. I can't believe so many obstacles and so much pain endured, and Tony found a way to prevail in a glorious light.
BRITISH SINGER/SONGWRITER TONY MOORE WRITES AND PERFORMS KEY SONG FOR THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE EUROPEAN GAMES 2019 IN MINSK, BELARUS.
Email: tony@tonymooremusic.com

Music: http://soundcloud.com/user-692853076/we-are-the-light/s-nWySf
In September 2018, Tony Moore was invited to Belarus to be a Music Ambassador for the press launch of the 2nd edition European Games, to be held in Minsk June 2019. Whilst he was there, Tony was inspired to write a song for the games after seeing the official tagline of event, "Bright Year, Bright You". Fast forward 9 Months and he and Belrusian singer Kristina Sventlichnaya performed his composition "We Are The Light" at the closing ceremony to a full house of more than 20,000 in the Dinamo Stadium as well as to 127 countries taking the live TV feed across half the world.
The song was written to reflect the struggle we all share to achieve our dreams in life and how, together, we can use our positive energy to shine brightly and create unity. Tony met Minsk based singer Kristina Sventchlinaya when he was in Belarus in 2018 and wrote the song to be performed as a duet with her after hearing her unique and powerful voice.
Tony says "I was honoured to be invited to perform at this incredible event. It's the biggest thing I have ever done in my life and I was thrilled to share my music with such an amazing audience including Belarus's President Alexander Lukashenka and Russia's President Vladamir Putin,"
In a weird twist of fate the songs powerful message mirrored an almost unbelievable set of challenges that Tony went through to actually get to the final performance. On the Wednesday before the final Sunday night ceremony, he collapsed on his bathroom floor unable to stand or walk and passed out just after managing call the emergency services. He was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo and told that it might take up to two weeks or more to recover. Determined not to miss the games, he slept almost solidly for two days trying to rest and recuperate enough to fly to Minsk on the coming Saturday.
By some miracle, he found the strength to get to Heathrow airport only to find that the flights booked for him had a problem with the paperwork and he couldn't take them, so the organisers managed to find an alternative flight via Barcelona that night, which would arrive at 5am on the morning of the ceremony meaning he would miss all the rehearsals. However the panic was on as he now had get from Heathrow to Gatwick in heavy traffic with little time to spare, only to find, when he got there, that the Barcelona flight was badly delayed.
Eventually Tony arrived in Spain to get the connecting flight to Belarus but had so little time left that he was forced to run across the concourse to the departure gate with only one minute to spare before they closed the gate which, had he not made it, would have meant he'd have missed getting to the games altogether.
As if all that wasn't enough, on arriving in Minsk he found that neither his hand built white guitar (specially made for the event) nor his unique stage jacket (designed by Amanda Cannon) had made it to Belarus. So in keeping with the lyrics of the song, he "ignored the pain and pushed on through" finding a local clothes shop that was open on a Sunday where be bought some white jeans and a top and was ready to sing his heart out with Kristina for the entire Stadium.
"We Are The Light" was produced and mixed by Tony and is currently available as digital single worldwide on all download and streaming formats, featuring Kristina Sventchlinaya and an orchestration arranged by Andrey Zubetts.
Tony Moore was an original member of Iron Maiden and later went on to play keyboards in the band Cutting Crew ( I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight) – For the last 20 years he has championed new and emerging talent and has created stages to help young artists develop, including Paolo Nutini, Ed Sheeran, James Bay, James Morrison and many more. He is currently working with new singer iLO, whilst constantly writing, recording and touring in his own right.

It all began a long while ago when Mr. Sundar Ram Madduri set forth one day and bought himself a Fiat Palio 1.2 in 2001. Like most Palio Owners and other Fiat customers, Mr. Madduri loved his car but hated the obstacles that Fiat and their dealers kept throwing in the path to maintaining his car. His love for his car led him to start a group on the internet (well before automobile forums became the flavour of the day or the seasonal fancy) and he chose to use the Yahoo Groups as his platform. This group soon attracted Fiat and motoring afficandos and the PUG as it was soon dubbed became a vibrant group. Mr. Madduri soon became engrossed in his work and was no longer able to devote time so he was assisted by Mr. Mahesh Natarajan. This duo then inducted a clutch of people to help them run the PUG.
Soon the inadequacies of the old platform became obvious and the need to shift to a newer platform in order to capitalise on the newer technologies became obvious. So was born this forum using the vBulletin platform and having its own web hosting space.
This forum is largely a co-operative affair and was built with inputs from all members. It is for the members and largely by the members. It aims to cater to all motoring enthusiasts and host technical discussions relating to Fiat cars in India.
Welcome on board and enjoy your time here.

Research Notes on armed groups:
Regulating Armed Groups from Within: A Typology
Armed groups are armed organizations that challenge the state's monopoly of legitimate coercive force. They include a variety of actors, including opposition and insurgent movements, pro-government militias, and community-based vigilante groups. Even though armed groups possess less than one per cent of the world's small arms, they can often procure sophisticated types of weaponry. Roughly 60 armed groups have reportedly accessed man-portable air-defence systems (MANPADS) and anti-tank guided weapons between 1998 and 2012, for instance. Some armed groups are also reported to deliberately use their small arms against civilians during armed conflicts, in contradiction with international humanitarian law.
The Small Arms Survey maps and documents the origins, motivations, structures, and membership of a variety of armed groups around the world, whether they fight against the state, against other actors, or in support of the state. Field research has made it possible to produce detailed profiles, including on arms holdings and sources of weaponry, of several dozen armed groups, notably in the Philippines, Sudan, Uganda, and West Africa. The Survey also contributes to a better understanding of some of the key questions related to armed groups, such as the factors that contribute to their respect—or lack thereof—for humanitarian norms, their impact on human security (including the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict), and lessons learned from disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration programmes.

In changing and uncertain times, it's good to know that the future of jazz is in such safe hands as those of this quintet, making music that brims with positivity and a true spirit of adventure.
The band came together through many hours of playing and exchanging musical ideas while studying at London's Royal Academy of Music, graduating together in 2016. Winning awards and accolades along the way, the band released a live EP in 2018. This is their debut studio recording, a coming together of pieces that have been thoroughly 'road tested at festivals and gigs throughout Europe, a process that allows the musicians to get inside each composition, to explore myriad musical possibilities and improvise freely within them.
Hitchcock describes the thought process that led to the creation of these pieces: "We've tried to find a positive response to the division and uncertainty currently being felt across the UK and further afield. I've tried to write optimistic music that doesn't avoid subtlety and more challenging sounds, and has space for dissonance. Some of the songs are eclectic but this doesn't detract from a common thread and distinctive sound world running through the album, with strong melodies and virtuosic improvising holding it together [...]"

Why do people heckle?
The Magazine answers...
A heckle which goes down in history
When Walter Wolfgang shouted at Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, his intention wasn't to make headlines, it was to make a point about Iraq. So why do people heckle?
Some heckles are more effective than others.
It was the overreaction by security which gave Mr Wolfgang's intervention far more impact than it would have had otherwise, and the 82-year-old is still on some front pages two days later.
But will we remember it in 40 years?
A new feature to the BBC News Magazine - aiming to answer some of the questions behind the headlines
The broadcast of a new Bob Dylan documentary this week resurrected accounts of the famous "Judas" heckle, levelled at the singer during a gig in Manchester for "abandoning" his folk roots.
Years later, the heckler was identified as John Cordwell from Cumbria. He said: "I think I was probably being egged on. I certainly got a lot of positive encouragement as soon as I'd done it."
For some it's an act of defiance or a democratic act, for others an irritation and unwanted interruption. But hecklers started as neither.
Originally, a heckler was someone in the textile trade who combed out flax or hemp fibres. Its more common meaning began in the early 19th Century when the radical and unionised hecklers working in Dundee used to interrupt the colleague responsible for reading out the day's news.
Hence the word became associated with firing off questions aimed to tease or comb out truths that the speaker might wish to conceal or avoid.
Riposte
A more bawdy version had been practised much earlier, in Elizabethan theatre, where it was very much part of the boisterous atmosphere to shout at actors. Later on, as part of variety performing, heckling was famously characterised in the Muppet Show by Statler and Waldorf.
Modern politicians are less likely to face an angry interruption than their predecessors, who frequently confronted live audiences, before the TV age.
You've got the microphone and you are the professional and if you respond well then you score heavily
Comedian Arthur Smith
Harold Wilson famously silenced a man who demanded why he supported "savages" in Rhodesia.
"My friend, we don't support savages, we just allow them to come to our meetings," Wilson replied, to great applause.
But even Wilson came unstuck during a speech in Chatham when, having sung the praises of the nation's Navy, he asked, rhetorically: "And why am I saying all this?" A voice from the back of the hall replied: "Because you are in Chatham."
Such scenes are rare nowadays, with television the medium of choice for politicians and live audiences usually handpicked. Spontaneity is the enemy of the spin-doctor.
In happier, acoustic days...
But in stand-up comedy, heckling is still very much part of the performance, says comedian Arthur Smith.
"Any comedian worth his salt ought to be able to deal with hecklers," he says. "When people start out they can't do it because they're too nervous.
"The key is to listen to what they say and don't overreact. You should be able to win. You've got the microphone and you are the professional and if you respond well then you score heavily and become ever greater."
Bouncers are sometimes seen lurking about but they should only be used in extreme circumstances, he says.
Labour has taken note.

Are you in love with camping but not so crazy about the flying insects that come along with it? Tired of hauling out the citronella candles and Tiki torches in hopes of keeping those bugs at bay? If so, it's time to contemplate an RV screen room or Awning Add a Room purchase. It's one of the easiest, mess-free ways of keeping one's family bug bite free.
Screen rooms that stand apart from motorhomes typically disassemble quickly and come with their own compact carrying cases. Thus, they may be used with or without the motorhome present. That tends to make them very convenient and versatile, especially for those that don't like to travel with cars in tow.
On the downside, because standalone screen houses are not attached to the RV, they may be hard to place. For example, the campsite may be too small, too uneven or configured in a way that makes setting up the screen house awkward or impractical. Plus, campers run the risk of tracking mud and other debris into the screen house as well as the RV.
Attached RV screen rooms, on the other hand, are designed to be an extension of the motorhome itself. So there is typically no noticeable gap between the RV's exterior walls and the screened in area. As a result, RVer's won't be exposed to the elements while transporting items to and from the screen room. The attached RV screen rooms are also normally easy to set-up and break down when it's time to leave the campsite. The only real disadvantage, as we alluded to previously, is that it has to be stowed away any time the RV needs to be moved.

Ignaz Moscheles - Czech pianist, composer and conductor, taught by C. M. Weber (1804-1808). He studied in Vienna with Johann Albrechtsberger and Antonio Salieri. He also met Beethoven and studied his works.
Since 1815 he performed as a pianist in Paris, Prague and numerous cities in Germany. In 1825 he moved to London and worked at the Royal Academy of Music as a piano teacher. S. Thalberg was his student. Moscheles performed as a conductor with the Royal Philharmonic Society Orchestra. He played with Mendelssohn, Thalberg, Liszt, Herz and Chopin (1839, London).
Moscheles together with Fétis wrote the Méthode des méthodes de piano, published in 1840 in Paris. The authors put the compositions of Liszt, Thalberg, Heller and Trois nouvelles études of Chopin in their book.
Moscheles' compositions were included to Chopin's repertoire at his early performs. Pianists performed together in Paris. Chopin appreciated Moscheles'works as a pedagogical material. Some of his own compositions show Moscheles' influence (Impromptu in C sharp minor, recitativo from the second part of Piano concert in F minor).
